Ah. Trevor Howard did appear to be dismissed from the Army for mental instability and a "psychopathic personality" but it isn't the answer I was looking for.

It was indeed Francis Albert. Any one of the three reasons have been given for his absence from military service.
You may do it your way.

Another chemical elements question..
Two elements are liquid at normal room temperature (20°C) and pressure (one atmosphere).
Mercury (Hg) is one. What's the other?
Clue: The one we're looking for is non-metallic and has atomic number = 35.

That's the stuff. Discovered independently in or around 1825/26 by the German chemist Carl Jacob Löwig and also the French chemist Antoine-Jérôme Balard.
Your turn to set the next question.
