Title A name given to the resource Elsie Gertrude Ross Description An account of the resource Elsie Gertrude Ross was born on June 22nd, 1882, in the city of Zorra, Ontario. She began her career as a teacher with a passion for helping kids before opting to become a nurse to follow her passion for helping all kinds of people. She was a nursing sister in the Canadian Army Medical Corps stationed in the Toronto region. Ross graduated from Toronto General Hospital with a medical degree and used her skills to assist injured soldiers and civilians throughout the war. Likewise, because it contradicted pre-war conceptions about women's obligations in society, Ross and the other nursing sisters' efforts during the war helped to revise sexist views at the time and give women more notary as veterans in war. Ross died of pneumonia while working overseas in the army during the war. Pneumonia was a common cause of death at the time, with little medicine or supplies to help heal people.
