Margaret was single at the time, Presbyterian, had brown hair, blue eyes, weighed 170 pounds and was 5 feet and 7 inches tall. Margaret had been given three awards, the British War Medal, the Victory Medal and the 1914-1915 Star. She died on the Llandovery Castle hospital ship when it was torpedoed on June 27, 1918. Fraser was 33. She accounted for one of the many casualties that occurred with the sinking of Llandovery Castle. There is not a lot of specific information of her experiences of the four years that she served, but there are some records of the people that she treated during her service and many files accounting her pay over the years.
