"He was educated at the public schools of Manitoba and at the Manitoba Univeristy, Faculty of Medicine, from which he graduated in 1917."

"Dr Wershof was demobilized in England, and spent a year there doing post-graduate work."

"After graduating, Dr Wershof joined the Canadian Army Medical Corps as Lieutenant, and went overseas in the fall of 1917. He received his Captaincy in 1918, and during the war served in the Canadian hospitals at Witley Camp and Buxton, England, and at Kimmel Park, North Wales. He also was appointed to a trans-Atlantic conducting staff as a medical officer, where he was in charge of the physical condition of the troops that were going overseas, and those who were returning, invalided home. This was particularly dangerous work, as on each of these voyages the transports were obliged to pass through the submarine zone, and several of the troopships were torpedoed."

"Dr Wershof was demobilized in England, and spent a year there doing postgraduate work. On his return to Edmonton, he commenced the practice of his profession, and some years later returned to England, but ultimately went back to Edmonton, where he is regarded as one of the most public-spirited residents of that city.

"Dr Wershof occupies a very high standing in his profession, and much of the success achieved by the Jews of Edmonton in their various philanthropic activities and undertakings, is due to the co-operation and assistance furnished by him."
