Serving exclusively in colonial campaigns, Hislop fought in the West Indies between 1796 and 1810 and subsequently in India, where he was a senior commander during the Third Anglo-Maratha War.

He was also known for financial profligacy, losing large sums of money investing unsuccessfully in the Americas.
