10. Hannah Snell
It is said by locals that Hannah Snell often pretended to be a soldier when she was a child. She spent her life disguised as a male British soldier named James Gray, who fought bravely in the 1700s. She ended up borrowing a man’s suit from her brother-in-law and assuming his name in order to get to the battlefield.
Hannah was wounded in battle 12 times, including one to the groin. How she was able to recover from her injuries and still keep her identity under wraps remains unknown. It is believed that she may have asked a local woman to extract the bullet instead of seeing a regimental surgeon.
