For Love, War & Plunder
The true story of Christian Davies who went to war dressed as a man in search of her missing husband.
There could never be any barriers to Christian’s love. She gave up everything to follow her man into battle in a desperate attempt to rescue him from the death that inevitably beckoned.
She gave up her comfortable life, her family, even her children, to find the man who was her only true love, and she did this without any thought for her own safety knowing that she would soon be deeply embroiled in the bloodiest battles ever fought in European history.
Disguised as a common foot-soldier, Christian Davies was a woman of great passion. She loved and fought with every fibre of her body to ensure that both she and her husband should survive the musket-fire, the swords and the cannonballs of two brutal wars. And she did all this with rollicking good humour, captivating charm and steely-eyed determination.
Courageous to a fault, Christian was no ordinary woman. Seriously wounded on several occasions, she suffered terribly but managed to survive. She fought with the strength of a man and loved with the passion of a woman. She was selfless and unfailingly brave under fire, often going to the aid of others who were wounded on the field while completely ignoring the terrifying danger to herself.
This is the compelling true story of one of the most amazing women in military history. It will make you laugh. It will make you cry, but most of all, you will fall completely in love with Christian Davies
