Despite strict army training, a deserting soldier is still a human-being. Any British soldier, in those times, who deserted, had their reasons. Maybe they couldn't see the future disgrace their families would face? Maybe they thought that a better future awaited them? Remember, some soldiers enlisted because a magistrate gave them the choice of enlist or go to prison, or be transported to Australia! Not much of a choice? So the reasons are complex and there is no definitive answer.
