  	Re false name: ...perhaps to evade the law or their family; this was the case of Captain Galbraith Joynt of the 43rd, later 103rd, who rose from the ranks. He has enlisted under the name of William Faulkland and when a sergeant in the 43rd, revealed his real identity and submitted a memorial to the Duke of York that henceforward he should be known by his real name.
