At the outbreak of the First World War she volunteered alongside others such as suffragette doctor Elsie Inglis,[8] with Grace Symonds and Dr Elizabeth Ross (1877-1915) to create the Scottish Women's Hospitals in Serbia under the overall umbrella of the French Red Cross.

[10] At the time high profile women golfers, like Fraser were a rarity even being allowed to play on men's courses and wanted to demonstrate responsibility and fair play, thus 'most good women golfers of that time tolerated the Suffragists and abhorred the Suffragettes'[11] Fraser arrived at the hospital in Kragujevac in Serbia in December 1914[12] in the midst of a typhus epidemic.

Following Fraser's death, she was described as 'perhaps the most popular woman's golfer in Great Britain'[14] the Ladies Golf Union collected funds from international donors sufficient to provide 200 additional beds in Serbian hospitals in her memory.

[7] And it was reported that a transport lorry for Elsie Inglis' latest field hospital, was funded by her golfing friends, and seen leading out a column of vehicles by the Serbian Crown Prince George.
