During the Jacobite Revolt of 1745, Hannah Snell, a woman from Worcester, dressed up as a man and joined the British army.
Her amazing adventure saw her fighting in India alongside Robert Clive, and conducting DIY surgery to remove a musket ball from her groin so her cover wasn't blown.

She is credited as the first woman to ever serve in the Royal Marines.
