Another little known fact is that the real Sgt. Pepper was the lovechild of an American apothecary, well known to this day for the disgusting, sugary, carbonated potion that carried his name.
He joined the army in an attempt to assuage the guilt that he felt over his father's snake oil shenanigins, and was a model soldier, tipped for great things until his sordid secret was discovered. He never acheived a higher rank than Sgt. and when he left the army he moved to England and took up residence in Hole, near Blackburn, Lancashire where he lived out the rest of his life.
Sgt Pepper and the good doctor never spoke another word after he joined up which was just as well. Unbenown to Sgt Pepper, his father carried on with his experiments, and working for the Germans during WW2, invented Fanta Orange and Mountain Dew. He was arrested at the end of the war and tried at Nuremberg where he was found guilty of crimes against humanity.
S'true - honest.
