Amice Calverley (9 April 1896 – 10 April 1959) was an English-born Canadian Egyptologist who was instrumental to the recording and publication of the decoration in the temple of King Sethos I at Abydos.[1] During and after World War II she engaged in humanitarian work, including in Crete where she nursed at the front and filmed the conflict.[1] She then used her filming as publicity to seek assistance for those disabled as a result of the conflict.[1] She was also a music composer, with many works in chamber music and orchestral music, such as the String Quartet in F minor and the Variations on a Harmonic Theme.[2][3]
