John Edward Faulks was born at Marcraft, Uppingham, Rutland, c.1850 and attested the 80th Foot at Leicestershire in August 1870. Advanced to Corporal in July 1872, whilst serving in the Straits Settlements, he participated in the Perak Expedition 1875-76 and was advanced to Sergeant in August of the latter year (Medal and clasp). Having then served in China, he was embarked for South Africa in March 1877, where he served in the operations of 1878 and in the Zulu War (Medal and clasp), and was promoted to Colour-Sergeant in October 1879.
Faulkes transferred to the North Staffordshire Regiment in January 1883, in which regiment he was employed as a Pay Master Sergeant and was awarded his Long Service and Good Conduct Medal in March 1889. Then in July 1890 he transferred to the Corps of Military Staff Corps in the rank of Staff Quartermaster Sergeant and thence, in April 1893, to the Army Pay Corps. He remained similarly employed until taking his discharge at Chester in July 1901, after 30 years with the Colours. On taking his discharge, he worked for the Pearl Assurance Co. until 1922, and was awarded an Annuity Meritorious Service Medal per Army Order 73 of 1912. He died in Warrington in December 1931, aged 82 years.
