During the First World War the five women contributed to the war effort in various ways. The Gladstones lived in Jersey, Channel Islands, where two of the sisters and their mother volunteered with the local Red Cross. Two other sisters served as VADs in Malta. A fifth sister, Elsie, was a nurse and trained as an anaesthetist with the QAIMNS and served in France and Belgium, where she died in 1919.
