Clare Gass
About
Lelia Clare Gass was a Canadian nurse and social worker from Nova Scotia who served as a nursing sister with the Canadian Army Medical Corps in the First World War. After the war, Gass contributed to the development of medical social work in Canada. Her diaries, one of which recorded John McCrae's poem In Flanders Fields six weeks before its first publication, are a valuable historical resource providing insight into hospital life during the war.
