Laura Gamble - Medical Services


Laura Gamble was born in 1887, in Wakefield, Quebec. A nurse at the Toronto General Hospital, she enlisted in the Canadian Army Medical Corps. She served overseas in military hospitals in England, France and Greece. Her work earned her a citation, and a medal presented to her at a special ceremony at Buckingham Palace.

Laura Gamble was one of the two thousand nurses who served in the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Canadian military nurses were especially well-known for their kindness, efficiency and professional appearance.

Their work near the Front was difficult and entailed numerous risks. Death, which they encountered daily, also struck their ranks and several nurses lost their lives while on duty.
