Name:
Gil Hanley
Rank: 2nd Lieutenant
Home Town: unknown
Family: unknown (though a smart-aleck comment to a fellow Lieutenant in "Billy
the Kid" leads him to respond with comment about "his father being fine"...
since the Lieutenant in the episode did not know Hanley (or, assumably, his family), the
response about his father doesn't indicate anything other than the fact that he is aware
he was out of line, not that he has a living father that is actually fine.
