Chistian Davies (or 'Old Mother Ross'), c1706 (1904). Artist: Unknown

Chistian Davies (or 'Old Mother Ross'), c1706 (1904). Born Christian Cavanagh in Dublin, Christian 'Kit' Davies (1667-1739) served in disguise in the British Army from 1693 to 1697 and again from 1701 until 1706, in an attempt to find her husband, who was also serving in the army, possibly after being pressed into service. She finally located him in 1704 after the Battle of Blenheim, but after discovering him with another woman, decided to remain in the army. In 1706 Davies was wounded at the Battle of Ramillies, suffering a fractured skull, and her identity as a woman was discovered by the surgeon treating her wounds. After this she was discharged from her regiment, the Scots Greys, but the regimental commander agreed that she should continue to be paid while in the care of the army, and as part of her discharge, the regiment's officers paid for a new wardrobe for her. A print from The Girl's Own Annual, 1 October 1904.
