The Women's Emergency Corps was a service organisation founded in 1914 by Evelina Haverfield, Decima Moore, and the Women's Social and Political Union. The organization's goal was to contribute to the war effort of the United Kingdom in World War I by training woman doctors, nurses and motorcycle messengers.
Evelina Haverfield, one of the founders, also found the Women’s Voluntary Reserve Ambulance Corps where she became commander in chief. Through the Women’s Emergency Corps, she volunteered with Scottish Women’s Hospitals where she went to Serbia to care for wounded soldiers.
Mona Chalmers Watson became its honorary secretary. The Corps later evolved into the Women's Volunteer Reserve. The suffragist, Winifred Adair Roberts, was in the Reserve throughout World War I and spoke to the historian, Brian Harrison, about it as part of the Suffrage Interviews project, titled Oral evidence on the suffragette and suffragist movements: the Brian Harrison interviews.
