"Comrades Mine" a stage play written by Maureen Gallagher, adapted for audio theater by Dave Downing.

This is the true story of Sarah Emma Edmonds who disguised herself as a man and enlisted in the army during the civil war. The story tells of her service in the front lines, working with the surgeons in the hospitals, and even putting on a dress and acting as a spy to find out information about the enemy. When she became sick she knew she if went to a doctor that it would be discovered she was really a woman, so she left the army. Later, after the war, those she served with in the 2nd Michigan Infantry, supported her in filing for a pension... which is at the core of this story.
