Thanks Peter, thats very interesting. Never knew that unit existed.
Would the shoulder flash be rare?
I checked her out & here is some info on Margaret Ellen Douglass:
Margaret Ellen Douglass (1878-1950)
Physician.
Born at Stanley, New Brunswick on 12 January 1878, daughter of Andrew Douglass and Martha Best, she attended the Anglican Church school at Windsor, New Brunswick. She studied medicine at the University of Toronto, and did her postgraduate studies in England and the USA. In 1909 she settled in Winnipeg and began practising medicine.
In 1914, in response to the First World War, she organized the Winnipeg Women’s Volunteer Reserve.
She joined the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC), and served in France during the war, holding the rank of Major. She was awarded the Allies Medal, the British War Medal, the Long Service Medal of the Order of St. John, and the Jubilee Medal. In 1927 she travelled to India and China to speak about better medical methods for caring for women.
