Cloaked in Bravery
Cloaked in Bravery
Experience the extraordinary journey of a woman who risked everything to follow her man into battle in a desperate attempt to rescue him from the death that inevitably beckoned. Christian, driven by an unwavering devotion to her missing husband, cast aside her comfortable life, family, and even her children to venture into the heart of battle.
Disguised as a man, a common foot-soldier, Christian embraced the chaos and carnage of European history's bloodiest conflicts. With a fiery spirit and indomitable courage, she fought alongside men, facing musket-fire, swords, and cannonballs, all in a quest to ensure her husband's survival. Her rollicking good humour, captivating charm, and steely-eyed determination endeared her to comrades and enemies alike.
Christian's selflessness knew no bounds. Despite enduring grave wounds, she refused to be deterred, persevering through unimaginable pain. She embodied the strength of a man and the passion of a woman, fearlessly aiding wounded comrades on the battlefield, regardless of the peril she faced.
Unveiling a hidden gem of military history, Cloaked in Bravery reveals the compelling tale of a remarkable woman whose devotion and valour transcended the confines of gender. Prepare to be captivated by Christian Davies, as her story unveils a love so powerful it defied all odds.

About the Author
Tony Matthews is a Welsh-Australian author and historian who has dedicated almost his entire adult life to writing and researching Australian and world history. He also writes extensively on military and espionage history with a specific emphasis on both world wars. He is the author of almost forty books,Β including several novels.Β While still at school, Tony became distressed for a considerable period when he first learned about the Holocaust. He subsequently discovered that his father, Emrys Matthews, had been one of the British troops who had liberated the notorious Bergen-Belsen concentration camp on 15 AprilΒ 1945, where thousands of starving survivors, many of them riddled with typhus, were being held after the death-marches from other camps such as Auschwitz. When Tony later discovered that significant Jewish migration from Germany and Austria could have taken place successfully in 1938 and 1939, therefore, mitigating the Holocaust to a considerable degree, he became determined to write a book clearly describing the failure of the international community to prevent, or alleviate, the Nazi genocide.Β
