Notes

The HMCHS Prince George was a 307 foot steel vessel drafted into the Royal Canadian Navy on August 8, 1914. At some point it was decided that Canada was not going to have a hospital ship and it was paid off on September 4, 1914 and returned to its owners. Elizabeth Pierce, Anne Dover, Gertrude Black, Penelope Mellen, Mabel Lindsay, and Bessie Watson spent a short period of time in the navy before resuming their nursing career in the army.
Nursing sister Anne Dover, born in Bedfordshire, England in 1887, went overseas in April 1915, where she remained until March 1919.
