WW1 - French arrest a decrepit old woman (a German spy)

WW1 - The Germans gave the old woman a new white blanket and bribed her to walk behind any French battery that might take up a position near a certain village on the Aisne. The lady in the blanket would take an interest in the French from behind their positions on higher ground. As she left, the French were immediately shelled by the German gunners. The woman was captured and brought before a military tribunal, which found her guilt of espionage and sentenced her to life imprisonment. Date: 1915
