Woman Soldiers Epitaph.

The following extraordinary though
little known epitaph may be seen on
a tombstone in Brighton Old church
yard, says the London Globe, on the
east side of the path leading from the
south porch:
I'm memory of Phoebe Hessel, who
was born at Stepney in the year 1713.
She served for many years as a pri-
vate soldier in the Fifth Regiment of
Foot in different parts of Europe, and
in the year 1745 fought under the COM
mand of the Duke of Cumberland at
the battle of Fontenoy. where she re-
ceived a bayonet wound in her arm.
Her long life, which commenced in the
time of Queen Anne, extended to the
reign of George w., by whose muniti-
cence she received comfort and sup
port in her later years. She died at
Brighton, where she had long resided,
