the record I found was on Findmypast. There's no year of birth and indexed as St Stephens, Launcester although it came up when I put in Launceston. The description is to prevent any improper use of the discharge and there's a crease through it but it is legible.

He had been in the army before his marriage. From his Statement of Service, he served from 6 Dec 1784 until 5 Dec 1802 in the 47th foot, including 6 years in the East or West Indies

https://www.lancashireinfantrymuseum.org.uk/47th-regiment shows it would have been West Indies

The he was classed at Out Pension, so receiving pension but not living in the Royal Chelsea Hospital. He then joined the 8th Regiment of Royal Veterans until 10 July 1814.
Document is dated 10 July 1814 at Fort Cumberland

John is noted as about 52, 5 foot six, brown hair, black eyes & dark complexion.
