Early lifeGorman was born in Waimate, New Zealand, on 10 May 1881 to John and Catherine Gorman. Her father was a railway worker. Gorman completed her nursing training at Waimate Hospital.[2] CareerAfter qualifying, Gorman nursed at Wellington Public Hospital.[3] In 1915, she enlisted in the New Zealand Army Nursing Service and left Wellington in May that year on board the SS Marama. The ship sailed to Sydney, and then to Egypt. The contingent of nurses worked in a stationary hospital there. In October 1915 Gorman was on board the SS Marquette when it was torpedoed by a German submarine and sunk. She was injured during the launching of the lifeboats, and realising that she was unlikely to survive, gave her lifebelt to another nurse.[4] RecognitionA commemorative plaque to Gorman, and fellow Marquette casualties Catherine Fox and Isabel Clark, was placed in Waimate Hospital. The hospital also named its women's ward Marquette in memory of the three nurses.[3] When the hospital closed in 1996, the plaque was moved to a display at the Waimate Museum.[2] Gorman is named on the Mikra British Cemetery in Greece and in the Nurses' Memorial Chapel at Christchurch Hospital.[5] She is also remembered in the Five Sisters Window at York Minster in York, England.[5] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.nzwargraves.org.nz/news/marquette-sinking-centenary|title=The Marquette Sinking Centenary {{!}} New Zealand Wargraves Project|website=www.nzwargraves.org.nz|access-date=27 June 2016}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Gorman, Mary}}2. ^1 {{Cite web|url=http://www.nzmuseums.co.nz/account/3188/object/550124 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160814012909/http://www.nzmuseums.co.nz/account/3188/object/550124 |dead-url=yes |archive-date=14 August 2016 |title=Plaque to commemorate the Waimate Nurses who died during the sinking of the Marquette |last= |first= |date= |website= |publisher=New Zealand Museums |access-date=27 June 2016 }} 3. ^1 {{Cite web|url=http://www.stuff.co.nz/timaru-herald/life/72573005/sinking-of-the-marquette--a-tragedy-which-should-never-have-happened|title=32 NZ lives lost aboard Marquette|website=Stuff|access-date=3 July 2016}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.nursingreview.co.nz/news-feed/2015/service-commemorates-lost-nurses/#.V3eCLfl97IU|title=Nursing Review: New Zealand's Latest Nursing News on, Health, Education, Nursing, Clinical, Mental health, Aged care, Maori health, Enrolled nursing and Professional development|website=www.nursingreview.co.nz|access-date=2 July 2016}} 5. ^1 {{Cite web|url=http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/war-memorial/online-cenotaph/record/C5707|title=Mary Gorman|last=|first=|date=|website=|publisher=Auckland War Memorial Museum|access-date=2 July 2016}} 11 : 1915 deaths|1881 births|New Zealand nurses|Military nurses|Female nurses in World War I|19th-century New Zealand people|20th-century New Zealand people|Nurses killed in World War I|Sinking of the SS Marquette|People from Waimate|New Zealand women nurses |
