In September 1939 Gossage went into active service with the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps and received the Order of the British Empire in December 1944. In 1950, Gossage, then director of the University Health Service, announced that he would give free medical care for injuries suffered in almost any university-sponsored athletic activity.
