Hannah Snell was the first women to join the Royal Marines. Or so her biography would have us believe. This episode explores the truths, half-truths and bare faced lies about this 18th century warrior woman and includes insights from author Matthew Stephens (who wrote 'Hannah Snell, The Secret Life of a Female Marine, 1723 – 1792') and Jonathan Ferguson Keeper of Firearms and Artillery at the Royal Armouries.
