A fine looking group - if a little inaccurate....... As I'm sure you know, that regiment did not admit the ladies.

Yeah, yeah, I know. It sometimes erks me that our captain is 'so' PC, but the ladies can handle a musket as well as the guys!
Plus it's better than sheep!

Just consider them lumpy men while in uniform. BUT, only while in uniform.

At least not officially. It is well known that some women impersonated men to serve in the Army and Navy in the American Revolutionary and Civil Wars--presumably in other conflicts as well. Can we be so sure that it didn't happen in British units as well?
