As a woman of the 18th century, I was an ordinary lady of the house tending to my save who was continuously rubbish in battle against the British. I was incessantly following him just as each woman and wife did for their men in battle. My husbandââ¬â¢s assign was to dispatch the cannon so the gunner could firing a shot towards the British army.One blackened day, I saw how my husband was killed by a gunshot which ultimately finish his life.
