Abstract
Grace Morris Craig was born in Pembroke, Ontario into a middle-class family of Scots descent. She was the eldest child and only daughter in a family of three children. She was refused admission to the University of Toronto’s School of Architecture on the grounds of gender. When the War broke out, her brothers Ramsey and Basil both enlisted and she involved herself in volunteer work at a nearby military base. In 1981 at the age of ninety, she wrote this memoir, But This Is Our War, for her grandchildren.
