The story of just a few of the girls who have disguised themselves as men to go to war.
Women like Kit Welsh, who served as a dragoon in the Duke of Marlborough's army. Lucy Brewer , who became a us Marine in the early 19th century, and whose exploits included fighting a duel to stop a drunken officer molesting a young girl. And Dorothy Lawrence , whose curiosity about war led her to the front line in 1915 digging trenches in a unit of sappers.
Their lives were adventurous, often dangerous, sometimes comic, and their motives for donning uniform varied from the desire to find a husband or lover already serving in the forces to sheer love of adventure. Written and narrated by Jane Finnis
