In the Battle of the Göhrde at 18 September 1813 the soldiers were pined down by enemy artillery and rifles, a young drummer could accept this and without taking order by an officer in a suicidal decision rise up and start drumming the "Charge" rhythm. The soldiers stand-up and charge to the enemy without knowing that there was no official order. The young drummer against the rules follow them in the first line urging them so the soldiers took more inspiration and courage to reach the hill. Inevitably the heroic drummer drawn attention by the enemy and multiple rifles fired toward him wounding him heavily.

When the drummer carried to the hospital the doctors cutting the uniform to heal the wounds by surprise discovered that was not "he" but "she"! A young girl for patriotic reasons disguised as a man and was fighting in the Jägerbataillon. The brave drummer didn't manage to see the end of War, she past away due to the heavy wounds.
