As always interesting - though this is not restricted to the French or British Army, as usual it is sad to see the almost absence of other armies, like other German Armies, Cantinieres, or in the German equivalent - Marketenderin - were quite well known and established, here some images of the 7YW, one of them having a coffee machine and using to to make money selling coffee.
Was listening to a YouTube video on German Freicorp in the Napoleonic wars, and mentions, which have read about and forgot that a few women fought in Luetzow's Freicorp.
