Francina Broese Gunningh
Francina Broese Gunningh, also known as Frans Gunningh Sloet (1783 - 1824), was a Dutch soldier who served in the French, Prussian and Dutch armies. Gunningh Sloet was born 3 October 1783 in Kampen as the illegitimate daughter of Antje Broese, and worked as a domestic. During a trip back from Paris to the Netherlands, she dressed as a man, which was common for female travelers to avoid harassment during journeys. During the trip, however, she was arrested by the French military police as a suspected deserter after having failed to provide sufficient identifications papers, and was forcibly enlisted in the French army. She deserted, and instead enlisted in the Prussian army. When she was wounded in the chest, her sex was discovered, and she was forced to leave service.
