War service

Serbia In April 1915, Georgina Davidson was working as a Medical Officer in Serbia, with Dr. Elsie Inglis's Scottish Women's Hospitals for Foreign Service

Malta had become a centre for treatment for injured from various battle zones including Gallipoli and Salonika. But the hospital ships were coming frequently under attack en route to safety, and so the medical units (including Davidson's) were then despatched to be located nearer to the front, on 1 June 1917, and she served in Salonika until 16 October 1919. She won the French Red Cross medal, the British War Medal and Victory Medal.

Final deployment and return When the war against the Ottoman Empire was settled in a peace treaty (Treaty of Mudros), Davidson was employed on sanitary duties with the British troops in Constantinople, but although the army occupation continued until 1923, her own contract expired and she returned home in autumn 1919.
