    From "Dover at War 1939-45":

    Can we judge the spirit of the townspeople, given so willingly, by just one person? Dr Gertrude M.B. Toland, F.R.C.S., at Dover throughout the war, is remembered for the long hours spent in the operating theatre, working tirelessly dealing with the many victims of the evacuation period. Somehow, her sterling services rendered to Dunkirk survivors and later to Dover people, was never given official recognition.

    From "Hellfire Corner":

    Within four months of arriving with Motor Gun Boat 331 at Dover, Harold Clay was lying wounded in Buckland Hospital........"The Dover people were quite wonderful, they accepted me into their homes and shared their meagre food rations with me. It was Dr. Gertrude Toland who operated on my leg in August 1942 and I am quite sure that she saved it from amputation."
