Boyd was one who was already trained to save lives. More than likely, she saw the onset of the war as an opportunity to serve her country with bold Canadian patriotism. It can be hypothesized that much like many of her colleagues, she felt inspired to help the war effort in the way she knew best: medical intervention. Being a single, slightly older woman, she may have felt this was the best way to embrace the uncertainty of life in a way that made a difference. While it is not clear whether the total impact she had during her service, it is clear she was committed to putting her life on the line to help serve her country as she contracted influenza that was ultimately fatal.
