After the death of her brother Vernon March, she and her brothers completed the National War Memorial of Canada in Ottawa, Ontario. One of the family's three sculptors, her focus earlier in her career was metalwork and painting.
context_section_description: The Chelsfield Village Voice in April 2011 detailed the substance of a lecture that historian Paul Rason gave the previous month to the local history group. The talk was accompanied by photographs, including some of Goddendene. There were also images of the bronze figures of the National War Memorial of Canada. In addition, an exhibition featuring the work of local artists was held in 2011 in the Bromley Museum at The Priory on Church Hill in Orpington, in the London Borough of Bromley. The exhibition included scale models made by the March artists. Elsie March's bust of Sir Winston Churchill is displayed at the Bromley Library. Her bust of Harry Geoffrey Beasley is at the British Museum in London. Also, a black and white, silent movie filmed in 1924 reveals the March artists at work in their studios at Goddendene, and has been reproduced by British Pathé.
