Of course, we don't know her size, but it would make sense for her to be in the band. I have seen many pictures of the Buffalo Soldiers out west during the '70s and '80s. None of them looked like girls, or women. They would have had a lot more down time between actions, in a looser grouping, as a small unit, than in the WTBS. It would have been easier to "hide" in the band. Stan
