In addition to nursing the wounded, she trained nurses and" barefoot doctors" and taught sanitation, for which the Chinese government awarded her the Silver Shield.

They had two children, Laura and Tom( though Laura was conceived while Ewen was still in China, and was born just after Kozar and Ewen were married).
Kozar was killed when his ship was sunk in 1942, and Ewen subsequently married Mike Kovitch in 1946, with whom she had a third child, Michael.
" China Nurse", Ewen's memoir, was published in 1981.
In later editions, it was called" Canadian Nurse in China".
