The pay list for the the N.M.Militia shows in 1793 Thomas Joynt and
Christopher Joynt, and again in 1798 when the regiment was reformed, all
members of this regiment were selected for their height not under 5
feet10 inches, smartness, activity and general good conduct, the
regiment was formed in Castlebar in 1793 and disbanded the second time
in Ballina ,the records for the Militia are at the Kew military centre
London and I believe at the Castlebar library.

The 177th was formerly the Tenth Regiment New York State National Guard of
the city of Albany. It was enlisted in October, 1862, for nine months, but
it was called upon to serve within two weeks of the year, and those who did
serve, served most heroically. They were ordered at once to the Department
of the Gulf and served in Louisiana. While at Baton Rouge the record shows
that men were dying by scores from zymotic disease, as diphtheria, typhoid
fever and the like. Men fled from the regiment by scores, and of the
thirty-five men who enlisted from Schenectady, sixteen deserted. The roll of
honor of those who served through or died in service we give as follows:

8th Australian Inf Bn 23 Aug 1918
On 23 Aug 1918 at Herleville Wood, near Chuignes, Peronne, France, Lt. Joynt took cahrge when his company commander had been killed. When the leading battalion had been demoralized by heavy casualties, he rushed forward and reorganized the remnants of the battalion. Having discovered that heavy fire on the flanks was causing delay and casualties, he led a frontal bayonet attack on the wood, thus saving a critical situation. Later, at Plateau Wood, after severe hand -to-hand fighting, he turned a stubborn defence into an abject surrender. He was subsequently badly wounded by a shell.
