During the Seven Years’ War Townshend was given command of a brigade in Quebec under General James Wolfe.

He received Quebec City’s surrender on 18 September 1759. However, he held General Wolfe in much contempt (drawing Wolfe in caricature he created Canada’s first cartoon), and was harshly criticized upon his return to Great Britain for that reason (Wolfe was a popular hero throughout the country).
