- Synopsis:
"On the Battlefield" tells the story of those women who have experienced battle at first hand. Occasionally forced to masquerade as men, they fought in the conflicts which have shaped our world, from the American and English Civil wars, the Napoleonic battles and the two World Wars to Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East. Whether a celebrated historical figure, such as Boudicca, or one of the many unsung fighters on the front line, each of their sacrifices made them worthy heroines.
