“Bravely and Loyally They Answered the Call”: St. John Ambulance, the
Red Cross, and the Patriotic Service of Canadian Women During the Great War

During the Great War (1914-1918), thousands of middle-class Canadian women temporarily redirected their activist, feminist energies towards patriotic war relief under the patriarchal constraints of the Canadian Red Cross and St. John Ambulance. Authorized under the authority of the National Relief Committee to oversee all military medical relief efforts, these two male-directed service agencies successfully engaged the emotional commitment and physical energies of a significant segment of Canadian women by employing a gendered patriotic rhetoric encompassing both the maternal ideology of the early women’s movement and the militarist spirit of the era. This paper considers the largely unheralded role of civilian women’s essential unpaid support for Canada’s war effort as an active, emotional, and political undertaking, consciously exploiting traditional nurturant and feminine ideologies to validate their role as maternal patriots. In examining both the print and visual representations of Canadian women as voluntary nurses and Red Cross workers, the paper explores the contradictions between patriotism, feminism, and maternalism. Challenging traditional interpretations of war as a solely masculine endeavour, it recognizes the value of women’s unpaid labour to the state, and women’s inherent satisfaction in their active, if non-combatant involvement.

Foreword
Canadian airmen served in the British flying services during the Great War of 1914-1918 in surprisingly large numbers, and in virtu-ally every theatre of war. The official history of the Royal Canadian Air Force describes their contribution in some detail. In the course of preparing Volume I of that history, Canadian Airmen and the First World War, S.F. Wise and the historians working with him discovered a wealth of information about these pioneers of Cana-dian aviation, both by meeting them and by uncovering many dia-ries, letters, logbooks and photographs. Such sources tell us enough about the period, and about the people who participated in the great events of the time, to deserve wider dissemination, and I am pleased that the opportunity has now arisen to publish two diaries of unusual interest.

Don Brophy and Harold Price not only served in different thea-tres of war, where warfare took rather different forms, but the two men had very different backgrounds and personalities. They reflect something of the diversity in the remarkable generation that went to war in 1914, and their testament complements usefully other his-torical accounts of the first war in the air.
