Clare Gass was a nurse with the rank of lieutenant, serving with the Canadian Army Medical Corps in France during World War I for four long years. She documented her daily experiences from her military training in 1915 to her return from Europe in 1918. She had a gift for recording the sights, sounds, and smells of war, and in addition to her nursing duties, found time to explore the countryside around the hospital and took photographs as well. Ardently recommended for students of twentieth century military history, medical history, women's history, and unique autobiographies, The War Diary Of Clare Gass, 1915-1918 offers a unique, eye-witness, "window through time" to what life and death were like during the "Great War" as seen through the eyes of a battlefield nurse.
