Elsie Cameron Corbett JP (4 February 1893 – 1977) was a volunteer ambulance driver and major donor to the World War One Scottish Women's Hospital for Foreign Service in Serbia.

[8] She lived with her father, at the estate in Rowallan, Ayrshire, undertaking conventional socialite activities[9] such as attending formal balls,[10] opening local galas,[11] and entering a horse in a country show competition.

[14] Enjoying behaving unconventionally,[9] both Corbett and her father publicly supported the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS).

[3] At one event, she and her father gave more funds to a Working Girls Club, as they watched a suffragette play, which had already been performed in various settings,[15] written by Henry, husband of suffrage activist Maud Arncliffe Sennett.

[21] Corbett was also a platform guest when over £3,000 was donated (one week later) to the chairman of the British Red Cross, Sir George Beatson, who explained how important these motor vehicles were going to be to move injured troops more rapidly to get urgent treatment.

[6] On the sea passage to the war zone, she met Kathleen Nora Dillon (1877–1958) from Aghada, Cork who was put in charge of the transport unit[24] and was to become her lifelong friend, and companion or partner.

[28] In summer 1916, Corbett was back home and working in the Victoria Infirmary, Glasgow[23] as well as chairing meetings at the Kilmarnock branch of NUWSS and fundraising, such as when Mrs Gardner Robertson, of Edinburgh's Morningside[29] spoke of her visit to the Royaumont Scottish Women's Hospital.

[31] She was placed with the American unit at Ostrovo, to the north of Salonika, retrieving wounded soldiers from the front, occasionally under direct fire, on difficult roads with abandoned vehicles and bodies by the wayside, contending with fuel shortages, to get injured men to urgent treatment.

[23] A medical report to the military stated: "The roads are beyond belief  and the driving of our girl chauffeurs simply miraculous in its courage and skill".

By August 1917, she was in the Kaimakchalan mountains, Macedonia with ice, snow and damaged roads, again with abandoned vehicles and fatalities to contend with, as the Serbs returned to their homeland.

[32] Corbett's largest donation of £1,000 was for the Belgrade children's hospital, established by Dr Katherine MacPhail, a sum that was matched by the Peter Coats Trust, initiating an appeal to the West of Scotland to support "a very gallant country woman in a most noble enterprise in a foreign land".

[19] Corbett returned to her previous 'country lady' activities in 1921, being pictured with "Miss Jean Arthur at the meet of Lord Eglinton's  foxhounds at Caprington Castle, near Kilmarnock".

[39] In 1922, Corbett was elected to the executive committee of the Women's Institute in Oxfordshire,[40][41] and convened a new branch in Spelsbury,[42] where she now lived with Kathleen Dillon.

[46] In Spring 1929, at Dillon's home, Spelsbury House, Oxford, she gathered local folk tales and ghost stories for the Women's Institute, which were published in a short article in the journal Folklore.

[58] In 1939, Corbett was re-appointed as honorary vice-president to her brother Lord Rowallan as president of the Scottish Band of Hope Union for temperance.

Corbett dedicated an updated version of her local history book to her friend's "dear and gallant memory" (1962, edited by Lois Hey).
