Clare Gass
Nurse Clare Gass worked with the Canadian Expeditionary Force in France during World War I. She kept a diary and the following is excerpted from the July 23, 1916 entry:
"CC (Convalescent Camp) in AM as usual.
Red Cross Hut in PM. It is a busy place.
The Australians are splendid lads. As Capt. Evans says 'They are here for the job.'
After dinner Ruth & I bycicled [sic] out to the Souverin Moulin through Rupembert to the St Omer road then down through the woods by the steep hill to the village & the Chateau..."
