	A Soldier's Family in the British Army during the War of 1812
		Indeed this may have been the case when the 96th Regiment ordered: "The Wife of Thomas Holduson of Captain Sharps Company is to be immediately turned out of Barracks and never permitted to join the Regiment again; Any man seen in her Company will be punished for disobedience of Orders".
		Regiment had to remind its officers “ by no means are [the soldiers] to apply for liberty to sleep out of barracks for men who are married without leave” The conclusion is if a soldier was determined he could marry whomever he chose.
		What happened in this case is the regiment viewed its sergeants and drummers as not part of the establishment and could draw rations for their families above and beyond the 6 to 100 number.
