Synopsis

A Short Record of the Work of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire in British Columbia Since the Declaration of War reveals how a provincial women’s organization mobilized for war, sharing progress, fundraising, and relief efforts across communities in British Columbia during a time of urgent need.


This nonfiction volume documents the early, organized response of the Daughters of the Empire to wartime demands. It highlights the move from quiet preparation to active service, including the drive to fund a Hospital Ship, the creation of relief networks, and the expansion of local chapters and committees. Through firsthand accounts and documented progress, readers gain a clear picture of wartime community work and patriotism in action.


  • How a provincial chapter organized fundraising and volunteer efforts after war began.

  • The creation and impact of committees for field comforts, Red Cross supplies, and Belgian relief.

  • Detailed examples of individual chapters and communities contributing to war support.
