Answer 1

In the U.S. government, I think it may have been Deborah Samson, she was a school teacher who snuck into the Continental Army. She was caught though, after she was shot and needed medical attention. She enlisted under the name of Timothy Thayor, and had all the attributes given to a man at the time (intelligence, strong, and height). The first time she signed up, she did it nobly, and no one found out it was really a woman and it was April 1782. But she did not show up for duty the next day. The next time she signed up in May of that year she was Robert Shurtlieff and showed up for duty. She was promoted several times and fought in many battles. She was discovered in October 25, 1785 at West Point and discharged honorably by George Washington himself. A few decades later in the 1800's (after marriage and three children) she petitioned her home state of Mass. and received the payment the army denied her for years. She died in 1827 of unknown causes and was 67 years old. That made her 45 when she joined.
