The idea Of making Queen Victoria
a Colonel of German Dragons has
struck good many people as rather
odd: but it is said female officers were
quito common in tho British army
about a hundred and fifty years ago.
At that time, it is said, persons who

tiers by masculine names. getting

drawing the pay for the service which
the girls did not perform.
