Albert Cashier, however, seems to have begun dressing and living as a man before enlisting, and continued to do so long after the war was over, until dying in 1915. Cashier was listed under his male name on payrolls and even the voter registry. What’s striking about this case is that we know of at least two doctors who attended Cashier during illnesses and injuries found out that he was assigned female at birth, but did not reveal his secret. Cashier was buried with full military honors and under a tombstone bearing his chosen name.
