In the film "Rorke's Drift" the posh officer's character (Bromhead), when referring to the long soldiering tradition in his family, tells the other chap (Chard) that his grandfather had knelt with Wolfe at Quebec - presumably when they scaled the Heights of Abraham.

Whether this is true of the officer who was being depicted in the film I don't know. That bit of dialogue could have been a bit of dramatic licence. Though it isn't in the same league of historical barbarism as any of Mel Gibson's offerings, the film has been criticised for taking a few liberties with the truth of the action.
