Martha Loder is the first Newfoundland woman known to have volunteered as a Nurse during World War One. Loder’s war service overlaps with the initial training of the first 500 of the Newfoundland regiment, and she was in a theatre of war over ten months before the regiment landed in Suvla bay on the night of September 19, 1915. She was demobilized on March 17, 1919.[1]
