General Sir George ,Yillis wa admitted a i\lember of the Order in 1 87, as President of the Port mouth Centre, in recognition of services La tLe Ambulance Departlnent, and for many years served also on the Uouncil of the 0 rdcr. The Rev. e. J. Martyn W:1S :111 energetic member of the Order, and held office :1t one time as oftiei:1tinO' Ch:1plain. ~Ir. J. G. Swan, ir J. 1Iacll1re, ir Raylton Dixon, and Sir Andrew Fairbairn h:1d rendered very can picuous service to the St. John Ambulance Association in connection with their respective Centres in the province, :1nd the last nanled was for many years an active Inember of the Council, always taking the keenest and rna t pr:1ctical interest in the affa,irs of the Order. Surgeon-Generall\Ianley was the til' t Superintendent of the Ambulance Dep:1rtlllent, to which he rendered very valuable service, especially in connection with the N euss-11anley Ambulance litter, and a generous sum was contributed by him to the fund to promote the improvement of vehicles for the removal of the sick and injured.

Sir Willianl MacCormac held at the time of his death office :as Medical Officer in Chief of the t. John Ambulance Brigade a.nd as a selected member of the Chapter. His life-long service~ on behalf of the ick and injured in war are too well known to need recapitulating here. ir John J afii'ay and Brio-adier- eneral ~ir Henr'y \Vilmot were enrolled Honorary Associates for services to the Ambulance Department in the Edland Counties, and the death of Dr. A. H. .J ones williono- be deplored at Northampton, where owing to his zeal and devoted energy one of the best Centres ever formed by the St. John Ambulance A ociation continues to exist .and Houri h. The sympathy of the members will be extended to Confrere Lord Henniker on the death of his eldest son, the Hon. A. E. Hennik81<\1ajor, formerly Assi tant ecretary, whose loss is much deplored by those with whom he was brought into contact, both officially and in private life. His :llaje ty the King, while holding the office of Grand Prior, nominated as Captain ir Alfred J ephson's uccessor in the 'office of ecretary-General, Colonel ir Herbert Jekyll, K.C.M.G., R.E. It is gratifying to the Chapter to have the assistance of a member whose public services are so 'well kno'wn, and have been lately further recognised by his promotion in the Order of ,S t. Michael and t. George. It may here be mentioned that the hapter ha decided to 'erect, with the penni, sion of the Rector, the Rev. T. \Y. 'Vood, one of the Chaplains, a memorial on the South wall of 'to John's Church, Clerkenwell, to the lllemory of the members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade who have unfortunately died during the South African Campaign. Drawings for the memorial have been sublnitted to, and approved by, H.:;)I. The King, who has been graciously pleased to sanction the propo ed inscription and to command that it should be therein stated that it is -erected by himself, as Sovereign Head and Patron, as well as by H.R.H. The Grand Prior, and the Chapter. His lajesty has been graciously pleased to express his admiration at the design, the execution of which has been entrusted to Messrs. Powell and Sons, the firm whose nameissowell known in connection with the decoration of St. Paul's Cathedral. It is a source of

The woman wa under the Influence of dnnk, and had crossed from the down to the up platform. She was observed to be on the line and the down express rushing on her. '-N atson rushed before the engine, seized the woman, and dragged her over across the rail when the train was only about three yards distant. So close was the shave that ,Vatson was grazed by the engine, and he and the woman were thrown down botween it and the gate clo ing the level crossing f1'0111 the road. BEXJ lDII~ FRAXCIS, Sheffield (B?'onze .111eclal CI/wcwcled). For very conspicuous conduct displayed at the Victoria Vinegar Brewery, heffield, on the th N oV81nber, 1900, in a plucky attempt to re cue a boy named Aldhmll, and a man named ,Vookey, who had been set to clean a large vinegar vat, and had been overcome by the fumes of carbonic acid gas. The employes and police ambulcl,nce not having effected a rescue, Francis volunteered to descend the vat, and by means of a rope was lowered to the bottow, a di tance of 19 ft. He succeeded in reachin o' ,"'{ookey, but as he proceeded to put a rope round the body became uncon cious, was pulled up, and remained in this state for one-and-a-half hours, after which he rendered assistance to the Fire Brigade staff in getting the bodies out. P. C. TRollu, ' HENRY HIXES, Ipswich (Bronze .llieclul aWCinled). For courageous conduct in endeavouring to stop a runaway horse and cab at Ipswich, on the 9th February, 1901. The horse shied at the corner of St. John's Road, and bolted, jerking the driver from his box. Hines, who was off duty, recognising the great danger; as the horse was making for a crowded thoroughfare, made a dash for the reins, and in checking the pace the wheels of the cab skidded and a shaft struck him on the left shoulder, causing a very severe bruise. Still clutching the reins, he was dragged along almost under the horse's feet and sustained a severe blow on his head. His gallant efforts undoubtedly proved the means of saving life, and he was for some time afterwards only able to do light duty, owing to his injuries.

GORDON, Esq.,

HE London Committee, charged with the administration of the British Ophthahnic Ho pital at J eru al8111, have again the satisfaction of being able to report that its usefulne s is continuous and increa inD'. Dr. Jelly, who had been selected by the Committee as an assistant to Dr. Cant during the busy period of the previous year, was re-appointed for that now under con ideration, and returned to his duties in June with the advantages of experience of the conditions to be encountered, an 1 of son1e knowledge of the language of the people from among whom the patients are chiefly derived. Dr. Cant reports for the year 1900-01 thn.t the statistics of the work of the hospital, 'which are regularly kept, again show an increase in all their detail ; an increase which has been steadily progressive, and which, if compared with the figures of a few years ago, will be seen to be very consider!1ble. The accommodation for in-patients has for some time been stationary' but the appointment of the assi tant surgeon, which during the la t three years has greatly increased the power of dealing with out-patients, has led to a corresponding increase in their number, and has caused the attenda,nce to rise from aboll t 12,000, at which it stood before this assistance was afforded, to nearly 23,000 in the year; thus showing that the demands upon the hospital could not previously be fully met. This fact had constantly been only too apparent at the hospital itself

where great numbers of applicants w re compulsorily excluded during the annual epidemic of de tructive ophthalmia,. As stated on former occasions, the pel' on excluded 'were largely dwellers in the country district around J el'usalell1, "who were unable to reach the hospital in time to secure admission. By the aid of the assi tant surgeon, this difficulty has now been uccessfully encountered ' but it is not unlikely again to become prominent when the increa ed pOliTer Lo deal with applicants again occasions an increase in their numbers and an extension of the area from which they are derived. The amount of work actually accompli hed has for several years been teadily progressive, and the buildino's of the hospital have, by succe sive additions, been dou bled in their extent; but the ward accommodation has only afforded rOOlli for twenty in-pat.ients, although it has beon manifest for a long time past that the amount of eye-disease in the oountry, and actually eekinbo' relief at the hospital, was such that at lea t 100 beds could be constantly and advantageously ocoupied. The generous gift of £1,000 for enlarg81nent of the building, mentioned in the last report, has permitted the commencement of work which will place the hospital upon a widely extended basis, and will allow the number of beds to be inoreased to forty as soon as the alterations have been completed. It has been shown that the appointment of an assistant surgeon was immediately followed by a great increase in the number of out-patients Teceived and treated; and there oan be no doubt that the enlargement of the wards will inorease the number of in-patients in a similar manner, and with a far greater degree of benefit to sufferers than the mere figures will disclose. N umbers of persons will be admitted and cured who at present cannot fail to suffer seriously from the combined efiects of long journeys and of imperfect nursing at home. It was a condition attached to the gift of £1 ,000 that on the opening of the new wards there should be a second surgeon as a -permanent officer of the institution, insteau of an assistant -engaged only for the busiest half of the year; and it is manifest that this alteration, and the increase in the number of beds, will Tender it r.ecessary to place the whole establishment on a more ·extended ::)cale than heretofore. European workers will be

imperatively requ~red in tho nursing department; . and the general cost of ~allltenance and Inanagement must be Increased in a correspondmg degree. Even on the Jnoderate scale of past years, the contributions to the hospital have not covered the expenses; and for the year now under consideration the deficit, which has to be supplied from the o'eneral funds of the Order, has amounted to £175 17s. The Committee earnestly appeal, alike to the Order and to the general public, for such support as may enable this great work of charity and beneficence to be continued on a scale COIlllllen urate with the needs of the population to whose necessities it administers. The hospital annually rescues 1aro'e nUlll bel'S of people in and around Jerusalem from actual or impending blindness; and it is, practically, the only one to which they can apply. Not the least part of its good work is in furni 'hing a common ground on which the Chri tian, the Jew, and the Mahomedan meet upon equal terms, and learn to entertain sentiments of goodwill and mutual respect for one another. On this aspect of the case the Committee have llluch plea ure in O'iy in 0' publicity to the following letter, which ha been written to Lheir Chairman by the Right Rev. Dr. Blyth, Anglican Bi hop in .Jerusalem :_

(( J EHD 'ALE:.\I, " fepte?7"I-be7' 2 th, 1901.

"I am glad that the Order of 't . .J ohn ha been able to give great prominence to the Ophthalmic Ho I ital, of which you are Chairman. Tt is doing excellent work, and it is known and trusted throughout the country, and eYen to 1Ioab and the trans-J ordan country. "Dr. Cant's name is one of 110te here. He performed an operation for cataract on me last year quite painles ly and quite successfully. I lllUst have resigned otherwi e, but I can now see forty miles of distance and read (( diamond type." I heard of him in England a one of the fir t 111en of the day, to whom anything might. have been open at home. I only got the same attention that he gave to an old bedridden woman who was his pa~i~nt before me. He is in every way a good man, but very retmng. "The work of the Hospital is sometimes spoken against because

it is not directly nlissionary. But it is known far and wide as the work of charity and philanthropy by lllen who do the work for the sake of Chri t. It is neither mixed up with proselytism (as our mi ions have been much) nor "w ith politics (a' foreio·u institution are), but it has done a tine work in breaking do~u prejudice, and it i real and thorouo-h. The n8lv building will be a great advantao·e. " I t is well that the ancient Order should have its Hospital here, acce ible to all, and free. It ha greatly subdued the worst form of eye di ease, a people now under tand that their sight can be aved if they go in time. "(Sio-ned) G. , V. BLYTH, , Bi. hop in Je?'lu~ale?n." The abo-ve letter has been submitted to Hi, Maje ty the King, the Supreme Head and Patron of the Order and to Hi Royal H ighness the Prince of , Vale , the Grand Prior: and both His :Majestyand His Royal Highness have been gracioll ly pleased to express their intere t in the good work of the Hospital, a.nd their satisfaction at receiving such a report. The Committee trust that these feelings will be generally entertained; and that they will lead to such an increase of pecuniary support as lllay allow the benefits of the institution to be rendered commensurate with the oftentimes dire necessities of those for "who e relief it has been esta1lished.

FOR

IgOr.

HE CENTRA.L EXECUTIVE CO~DlITTEE has the honoul' to submit the following report for the information of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales and the Chapter of the Order of the Hospital of St. John of J erllsnlem in England. It is gratifying to record that His l\fajesty the King, having found it necessary to resign the office of President on his accession to the Throne, has graciously consented to become the Patron of the St. ,John Ambulance Association, and His Royal Highness the Prince of "\Vales has succeeded His Majesty in the office of Presi(len t. The most important featul'e of the work of the Ambulance Department during the year has been the continued valuable services rendered by t.he detachments of the St. John Ambulance Bl'ign,(le on duty in 'outh AfTica. The fullest details aboll t these services will be found in the report ot the Chief Commissioner which is appended, and it is not less satisfactory to call attention to the progress made with the formation of the Bearer COIn panie for service nnder the Mobilisation Scheme for HOlne Defence referred to in last yeal"s report, and of the similar steps being taken wi th the approval of the Lords of the Admil'alty for affording assistance to the Roycl,l Navy on the same lines in time of war. The Committee has agajn to express its deep regret at the further increase in the number of deaths among the members of the Brigade on service with the Hospitals in South Afi'ica, and wishes to place again on record its deepest sympathy with the families of those who ha;ve so nobly laid down their lives in the performance of such a hum~Lne and patriotic dut.y.

The final heats of the annual inter railway competition for th silver challenge hield presente~ by the. Order were held las: ~lay at the Portman R:0oms, the Judges bemg Mr. James Cantlie, F.R.e.S., l\l.B., and LIeut.-Colonel C. J. Trimble ' L.R" C" P WIO 1 . awarded the shIeld to the North-Eastern Railway; the other teams being place~ in the following orde:' :-Mersey Railway; GreR.t-N orthern Rmlway; Great-Eastern RaIlway, and the South~astern and C~latham .Railway. On the same day the competitlOn for the BrIgade prIzes, the Dewar Shield and the Symons Eccles Cup, also took place at the Portlnan Rooms, the judaes beinO' Deputy-Commi ioner ,"\T. Vernon, l\l.R. e.8., and Honorar~ Surgeon Heaton C. HOIyard, F.R.C . ., the East Ham Division (Metropolitan Corps) was awarded the Dewar Challenge Shield and the ,Vellingborough Corps wa a"warded the Symons Eccle~ Cl~P, .the th~r~,. fourth a~d ~fth places being ta.ken by the BrIerfield DIvlSlOn, the Sheffield Corps, and the Chichester Di.vision respectively. At the conclusion of the competition the pnzes were presented by the jIarchioness of Breadalbane the wife of the Assi tant Director and Deputy Chairman of' the St. John Ambulance Association. The best thanks are due and have been offered to the judge, both in tbe final heats and in the group competitions in the proyinces, for their valuable serVIces. Iany meetings for the presentation of certificates and medallions, and also to welcome the return of llleIl1 bel's of the St. John Ambulance Brigade who haye been on ser,ice in South Africa, have been held during the past twelvemonths. Amongst those who have Inade the presentations, or have taken a prominent part in the proceedings, have been Her Royal Highness Princess Christian at ,Vindsor; the Chancellor of the Order, Earl Egerton of Tatton, at Stockport; the Director and Chairman, Viscount Knutsforcl, at the London Docks; His Excellency the Governor, Lord Henniker, in the Isle of Man: Sir Vincent Kennett-Barrington in Oxfordshire; Field :Marshal Earl Roberts at ,Velbeck and Dinaley; Lady Betty Balfour at W oking ; Earl Spencer and the l\farquess of Northampton at Northampton; the Lord Bishop of the Diocese at Bristol; Lord Provost Hunter at Dundee; the Duchess of Portland at Welbeck; the Earl of Lonsdale at vVhitehaven; Mr. Winston

In addition to num.erous ot~er Important m~etillgs those held at Ipswich, Ketterlll?, Belfast, Derby, LeIcester, ld Nelson deserve special mentlOn. At the last nalned an ~~augural meeting was held for the dedication to ambulance work of a handsome hall specially erected for this purpose at a cost of some £2,000, the doors of the re. pective sections allotted to the work of the Brigade and of the Association being formally opened by. the Chief Uomlnissioner, Colonel Bo\yc.ller, and by the Chief Secr tary, Colonel 'ir Herbert Perrott, the former also unveiling a memorial which had been erected to the memory of a member of the local clivi lOn who died of enteric feyer while on service in South Africa. The excellent example set by the town of Nelson in this direction is worthy of all commendation, and will, it is hoped, be followed in many other localities, as it is obvioLls that if 1'acilitie ' are afforded for the better furtherance of ambulance work Ly the provision of suitable accolllmodation, it cannot fCl.il to lead to greater exten 'ion and intere t in this desirable branch of puulic instruction. At Liverpool, where there are six fully equipped police horse ambulances, 1,6 0 constables hold certiticates, and 1,1.,bG hold medallions, and 3,9 5 persons were as 'i tecl in cases of accident or sudden illnes during the year. At a meeting held in the Manche tel' Town Hall the Lord Mayor pre 'ented 267 llwdallion and certificates gttined by the members of the local police force, and the chairman of the "\Vatch COlllmittee pointed out that :2 ) melllber ' of the force held certificate, aud thi.lt c1urin u the In t fi,e vyear 10,570 persons had been taken to the Infirmaryand irnilar in titutions, or to their homes by the police and that 52 liyes had been saved. In the report i ued by the Chief of Police for the City of Birmingham, it was stated that the actual trength of the force in December, 1900, ,,'as 700. Of the e 650 had pa ed the first examination for certificate, 320 had obtained ,oucher and 259 medallions. No Ie s t.riking was the actual number of cases in which their kno\dedge was turned to account. During the year no fewer than 910 cases received aid, including 66.J. wounds, 77 fractures, 105 fits,21 burns and scalds, 10 dislocations and i1 case of hanging, in luany in tance the members being

No fewer than 447 members of the Leed police for e hold St. John Alnbulance Association certificate~, and l-.tcb pos ess the Association's Inedallion. The l?rize~ in titu~e:l by ome of the leading Railway Compmlles 111 recognltlOn of cases where first aid has been rendered hFl.ve again been Fl.warded in a large number of instances, and the Directors of the leading companies have continued to show their interest by presiding or attendino' variou meeting. Amono'st these have been the annual dinne~' of the Head-quarter Staff of the London and South- \"r estern Rail'\'ay Company, attended by Lord talbridge, Chairman of the London and ~ orth-,Vestern Railway COlllpany, the presentation of certificates to the Midland Railway employes by Sir Henry ,Viggin, Baronet., Chairman of the ,Vays and ,Yorks Committee, a meeting at Furne s for the formation of a Railway Centre, the Hight Honourable Sir J. T. Hibbert, K.GB., Chairman, presiding, and another at ,Varwick Castle for a district ambulance competition in connection with the London and :N orth-,Vestern Railw'ay Company, the teams being hospitably entertained by the Earl and Countess of 'Varwick. Some statistics as to the loss of life and the number of accidents occurrinbo' on the Rail way sy terns will be found in the report of the Organizing Commissioner. The extension of ambulance work in the British possessions beyond the Seas, especially in Au,tralia and ~ ew Zealand, continues to flourish with unabated vigour. It is gratifying that efforts are now being made to push the formation of Corps and Division~ of the Brig'ade in accordance with the latest reo'ubtions v b ' and a great stimulus to this movement has been given by the favourable terms in which the 1filitary Authurities speak of the services rendered by members of the Association who were on duty on the occasion of the visit of T.R.H. Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York to the various towns in the Colonies, especially at Sydney. Surgeon-ilIajor G. A.

I tnwelled "'1via Bombay and II reached Ba,roda on the 27th. After <.:alhng on the Gaikwar I had at 'hi reque t an intelTiew with two of th X atiye medical men in the II enice of hi tate.

I arrived at (( Quetta on 6th April. Finding I did not improYe, I called in medical 'ad,ice and was told I ouo-ht to go hOllle at once. Application was (( accordingly made for a :JIedical Board to report on my Ctl,,'e. jIeal1II while, with the assi, tance of my brother Colonel U. E. Yate, the Chief , Commis ioner, and of Genel'Gtl •'ir Heginald Hart, commanding the II Di trict, a meeting was held at the Resid ncy, the proceedings of which , were duly notified to • t . J 01111' Gate at the time. A representative committee wa formed, with Colonel Yate as pre, ident, and Captain (( Creagh a. hon. secretary.

I look upon Quetta a. an ideal place for the formation (( of a first-rate Ambulance Centre. If we eyer do have a hard-fought " campaign on the frontier, it is at Quetta that a very large body of ~ troop will be concentrated, and where an important Base Ho, pital II mu. t be e tablished. Only those who know what railway travelling is (( in the hot weather between Quetta and the Indus Valley can conceive « how important it is that the ~orth-Western Railway should have in , readine s a well-trained ambulance corp, and well-equipped ambulance "carriage. with electl'ic lights and fan,'. Indeed, such c1:Ll'l'iages are (( needed on all Indian railway. " I left Quetta, for Bombay, at the end of April, and as the tell.mer <C on which I had ,ecUl'ed a passage did not ,ail from Bombay till the <C 9th :JIay, I hoped to utili e the week that I had to , pend there in " establi. hing the Bombay or ,Vestern India Centre. I had from the " first been in correspondence with friends there on the subject, and " during the few days I spent there in February, I had had the pleasUl'e " of explaining my scheme to Lord and Lady N orthcote, and to Colonel " Croly, R.A.:JLC., H.E. the Governor's •'urgeon, and I had also seen « :JIajor Quicke, who had just concluded a First Aid CIa s for the « Ladies of the ~ ational Indian A 'sociation. On my ani val in Bombay, " I heard both from Colonel Croly, and from :JIr. Bennett, the Editor "of the Tim,es of India, that Lord X orthcote proposed to visit « Bombay in July, and that he would then be happy to do anything in " his power to aid the work of our Association. I wa. fOl·tunate at once "to secure the services of Captain Pritchard (22nd jIadras Infantry) "and Mr. George Lund, as Joint Honoral'y •'ecretaries, and ~Ir.

Secretary had the sati .. factioll of recei\'ilJg the following letter from 11'.". E. Forster, Deputy-Ooroner. The members engageu in the removal being Messrs. Cunningham, Shrimpton, and Budu. [OOpy.] "DEAR Mr. BUDD,-At an inquest helu by me to-day on the bouy of Harriett Barber who was so dreadfully burnt on the 2Jth, Dr. Ooben spoke of the able and , Q ' prompt way the ambulance corps (sic.) rell10ved the poor creatl1l'e from ueeD s Road to the HOB}lital in CllUl'ch Lane, and with so little rain to the deceaseu. I

74 was requested by the jury to write an~ thank y~ul' Oorps (sic.) for their kindly services, and for the able way they carned out thClr duty, and I need scarcely say I fully endorse the jlll'y view of your conduct, which shows the trouble you all must have taken to have become so efficient in your humalle work.

April 26th, 1901. Some dissatisfaction haling been expressed with the conditions under which the Jitter and stretchers can be u,;ed, the Oommittee wish to a, ure the subscribers and public generally, that they wish them to be used in all cases of neccssity-but in the interest of sick and injured patient, they consider it advi,'able to procure the services of some one able to render first aid (a list of those qualified will be found at the Aldershot Institute, and other public places in the town), and considering the large number of persons in the town bolding first aid certificates, the Oommittee believe this can be done without loss of time in all case . The Oommittee has to deplore the death of Mrs, Clintou, who was one of the originators of ambulance classes in Aldershot.

80 ANNUAL REPORT. THE progress of the Centre is well marked. Commencing in 1880, it has graduall gained in public estimation. In the large manufacturing works of the town ve/ many workmen (hundreds annually) meet with bouily injury, and are instantlY attended to by ambulance men (fellow employe) with care and skill. Ambulanc~ men attend the matches of the Barrow Football Club, where they meet with a number of cases requiring prompt skilful first aid. The distribution of certificates and medallions is an annual public ceremon'y in the TowIl Hall, the Mayor and 1I1ayoress being pre ent; combined with the exhibition of ambulance exercises splinting, bandaging, artificial respiration, stretcher drill, etc., together with nUl'sin~ ,exercises by female members, bed-making, etc. Thele is a large public attendance and the demonstrations are received with frequent loud applause. Many members of tbe Centre exerted themselves in seeking subscriptions for the ambulance fuud for the sick and wounded of the South African war, and notwithstanding the number ;and variety of public projects in hand for relief purposes of a kindred nature , succeeded in raising nearly sixty pounds. The current year's course of lectures and classes recently conclude(l resulted in the granting of certificates to 33 men and 10 women pupils, ne'" beginners, and 3 women 'for home sick nursing. There are also eligible for re-examination 47 men anci '9 women first year's re-examiuation, and 15 men and 4 women second year's re-examination. The extensive Barrow Sbip-building and Armaments Construction Co., l'l1essrs. Vickers, Sons, and Maxim, have organized and financially maintain large classes of their workmen, who administer ambulance aid to numbers of their injured shopmates. The Furness Railway Co. have also formed a Railway centre, and commenced proceedings.

ANNUAL REPORT. THE Centre still retains its vitality, and is ever extending its sphere of usefulness: in a district which affords ample scope for the furth er extension of first aid work. A men's class was held at the close of last year (1900), and at the examination in December twenty-four members presented themselves before Surgeon-Major Hutton, the Examiner,who afterwards complimented them upon the smartness and skill displayed in the treatment of va.rious supposcd injuries. During the present year three serious cases of injury have been treated by members of the Centre, each necessitating removal in the ambulance carriage to Chesterfield Hospital. A large number of minor accidents also have been successfully treated during the year. A new class for men is now being organized.

7th October, 1901. DURI '0 the year ending September 30tb, 1901, satisfactory work has been done oy the local Centre. The same number of classes as in the previous year bave been carried on under the able conduct of the newly-appointetl members of the medical staff-D r. Braithwaite undertaking the class for men; and Dr. T. Buxton Flint conducting those for women, both in first aid, and sick nursing. All the classes were well attended and resulted in full pass lists-though all the students din not present themselves as candidates for examination . In the first aid course for men, 14 candidates obtained certificates, and 11 passed a first re-examination, whilst 3 qualified for the medallion of the Association . In the first aid eourse for women, 24 ca.ndidates obtained certificates, and in the nursing course, 17 obtained certificates, whilst 8 qualified by final examination for the medallion. The financial position 0f the Centre is still satisfactory, though some of the usual subscriptions have not yet been received in time to be included in the financial statement for the year. The Centre is to be congratulated on the addition to the medical staff, and also on the establishment of an ambulance station under the D evonshire Estate Office, kindly lent by Mr. Drewry free of charge, for the accommodation of the several stretcbers of the Centre, and the convenience of the public. Two new stretchers have been presenter! to tbe Cent~e, contributions therefore being collected by the Boys Brigade, one of them being mounted on a special litter, and bearing an inscribed plate stating that it is a memorial to the late Sergeant Perkins, who was killed in the Transvaal vVar, and who was a former member of the Centre.

A ANNUAL REPORT. FROM October, 1900, to October, 1901, first aid was rendered by members of this Oentre in 107 cases-viz., fractures 23, scalp wounds 10, the remainder being dislocations, severe cuts and sprains; 31 cases were conveyed on the ambulance carriage to the infirmary and h02pital ship, Hctmaclryad, the remainder being assisted to thcir homes, after first aid had been rendered.

During the winter months practice is held once a fortnight in the ambulance room erected for that purpose. The Centre, which is a self-supporting one, consists of 116 members, who are in an efficient state, and take great pride in the noble work. Another class was formed in November, and is now undergoing a course of l ectures under the able tuition of Dr. Thomas Wallace, M.D.

J'~U AL

THE local interest in ambulance "'ork c:mtinutes unabated . Several classes were carrieu on during the year, and these were attended by a considerable number of pupils. The nursing class held in the refectory by the kind permission of the Dean of Chester was largely attended. A considerable number of candidates entereu for the examinations, and a fair proportion of them obtained certificates. T he Mayor of Chester evinced his interest in thc \york by attending a public meeting, and giving away the prizes to the successful canuiuatt:'s. The ladies' nursing division carries on its work successfully.

The results have reached all expectatioIls, and proved to be a wise change.

The Dukinfield School Board has granted the use of one of the large central halls at the Crescent Road Board School for weekly practice and drill for the Brigade Division.

It is hoped that the several employers of labour will recognise the efforts of this Centre in order that the duties undertaken may not only he maintained but advanced. The

Mr. David Don, a.A., 104, Commercial Street, Dundee. ANNUAL REPORT. THE Committee beg to report that during the pa t session 26 clas es have Jeen held under the Dundee Centre. The total number of pupils who have received a com)l t course of instruction on first aid to the inj ul'cd and sick is 438 (286 men \~1~ 152 women). In all 187 pupils have received Jirst aid certificates, and 43 b e nrceiveJ the medallion of the Association. The total number of pupils who h:: received instruction in first aid junior comse is 87, of whom 65 have recel','ed' . e . . JUllJor certlficates. The total number of puplls who have re0eived instruction on hom nursing and hygiene i 146, of which 72 have received certificates. e Again, as in former years, warm thanks must be rendered to the doctors who have so kindly assisted in lecturing, examining classes, and in other ways; also to the gentlemen who have acted as secretaries at the various "Sections" under the Dundee Centre. The Committee are i~debt~d to Dr. M'Gillivray for having dclivered two public lectures under the ausplCes of the Dundee Cen tre on "First Aid in Eye Injuries "_ one in Alyth and the other in Dundee-and they ha ve pleasure in reportiug that these lect~res proved interest~ng and instrllcti ve, and were thoronghly appreciated by large andlCnce. The Coml1uttee have much pleasure in reporting that in December last they received from the Dundee Town Council the sum of £25, being amount voted by them to the Dundee Centre out of the Local Taxation Grant, 1899-1900, in aid of ambulance work in the city. Iany tributes to the ambulance skill of old pupils have been paid during the past year. Notably, three cases :-(1) A man who had sustained a compound fractUre in the leg in November last was temporarily and successfully dressed bV a member of the police force. (2) A man who had fallen into the new Fish Dock in June la~t was, rescued by a .member of the Harbour Ambulance Corps, and after twenty mm~tes work the patlent was restored to full consciousness. (3) A boy accidentally fell mto the Tay about three weeks ago, and "'as rcscued apparently lifpless. A. constable on duty was immediately on the scene, and after thirty-five minutes' constant application of the artificial mcans of rc pi ration the boy was in a condition to be removed for further treatment. These threc cases alone exemplify the usefulness of ambulance work in a large and busy centre like Dundee, where accidents are occurring almost daily. The Committee acknowledge , with thanks , the subscriptions received during the past ycar. The third competition for the Challenge Shield, opon to all members who hold the first aid certificate of the Association, and who reside in Scotland, took place in the Drill Hall, on Saturday, April 13th. The following teams took part:(1) Cardenden (Dr. Rorie, instructor); (2) Downfield (Dr. Butter, instructor); (3) Downfield (Dr. Butter, instructor); (4) Perth (Dr. P. Stewart, instructor); (5) Dundee (Dr. Gray, instructor); (6) Auchterardcr (Dr. Forrest, instructor); (7) D~~dee (Dr. Gray, instructor) ; (8) Dundee (Dr. Halley, instructor); (9) Dundee (Dr. Rmnear, instructor).

James Cleland, 1Ifr. David Fairful, Lleu ell, , t> , nil'. John Grieve, 1Ifr. David DOll (Secretary), and others. Colonel Rankin, the Chairman, stated that thcse competitions had done much to foster intercst in ambulance work, and that in Dundee Centre they had during the past season the larClest number of classes compared with any sincc the institution of the Centre sev:nteen years ago. He then announced the results of the competition. Lord Provost Hunter, in presenting the trophies, said that ambulance work deserved every encouragement on the part of those who were at the head of affairs. He remiuded those present that splendid service had been rendered in South Africa during the past two years by those who had a knowledge of ambulance work. H e 110inted out that a knowledge of first aid was not only llece sary for soldiers, but for men ilJ the railway service, in the police service, in engineering establishments, and in mills. Dr. Rorie (Carclenden) proposed a cordial vote of thanks to the judges, which was unanimously passed. Bctlcmcc Sheet CtS at 20th Ap1'il, 1901.

annual cour c of lectures for men in fir t aid was given as usual during the winter by Drs. S. G. loman and H. F. Ealand, when there wa a fair attendance of new members. The result of the examination being that 19 l1cceeded in passing: viz ., 7 th eir first, 4 their re-examiuation, and their final, for the medallion. D!'. Sloman again gave courses in first aid and nul' ing for laJies, the result of thei!' examination being that 8 passed in first aid, 3 their re-examination, 2 in nursing, and 7 their final for the medallion. The sel'vicell of the member have again been in great request, no less than 2 cases having becn recordeu as against 72 for the previous year. The ambulance van has been in great demand, haying conveyed <18 cases a distance of 422 miles, two of the ca es, yiz. olle to L eatherhcad, anu one to l field, Sussex, occupying two days. We regret to record the 10 s of a member of the Committee by the death of Dr. J. A. Lorimer, who was thrown from his trap and sustained a fracture of the base of the skull. The members of the Corp were very smart in turning out to his assistance, heing on the scene of the accident with the van, a distance of two miles, within half-an-hour of message. Thi was due in a measure to an important addition to our equipment, the Committee having pur· chased a private telephone wire between the hOllses of the two chief officers, one of whom being connected with the National Telephone Co., we are therefore able to call up members in each part of the town. Th e annual distribution of ccrtificates and medallions took place at a dinner (the first it is hoped of a series) at the Bush Hotel, presided oyer by Dr. S. G. loman, many of the principal residents being present. The voluntary work of the members being very highly spoken of by all speakers, especially by Dr. C. E. Lanner, who proposed the toast of the evening. The members took advantage of the gathering to present Dr. Sloman with a silver-mounted Winchester bread platter, and silver book marker to match, as a small recognition of his services to the Centre.

A NUAL REPORT. TIlE report for the Session 1900-1901 shows a falling-off in the number of the pupils taurrht and certificates bcrainetl. The nmmer has l)rOvetl to be not confined to work o and study; however. this is being remedied at the pre ent moment, for there are classes in acti ve work in connection with both of these services, still there have been taucrht durincr the session a total of] 31 per ons in nursing and b b first aiel, so that we are not ashamed of thc amount of work accomplished. Financially the Association still pays its way, and the only debt we have to face is a diffi cult one to pay--viz., the debt of gratitude \\'e owe to our subscribers, to our Oommittee, and last, but not lenst, to our medical men, wh o come t o our aid in giving lectures so freely and ably . Thanks are again due to M iss E. Rowe L ewis for

It is with feelings of the deepes~ orrow that the Committee have ~o record the ~vere 1.0ss we ha:e sustained during the year in the death of the Cha11'man of the Execnhve CommIttee, Major-General .J oseph Ford Sherer, his "alnable aUll generous care and support for ten years have mainly contributed to the success and maintenance of the work of the Oentre, While his genial temperameut always ,rendered diniculties conspicuous by their absence. .1\11'. H" ' Y. Mitchell (Ohairman of the School Board) has kindly accepted the position of ·Chairman of the Executiyc Committee rendered vacant, and has been appointed to.day by the Committec. Two ca es of first aid have comc to thc notice of the Secretary. ,C. BuffaI'd, in the employ of the Hastings Oorporation, rcceived severe injuries through the falling of some cement, a broken thigh, a broken arm, and several broken ribs . J ames Hope, a pupil of these cIa es, promptly rendered efficient help, and was complimented by the house sUl'f!eon of the hospital, whither the sufferer wa conyeyed. At the cricket match a lady's clothcs were set on fire by a carelessly. .thrown match. lUr. Thoma::. Boucher, who was standing uy, threw her to the ground and with his hands put out the flames, and thus prohably sayed her from severe injury.

Over and above these, 150 men and 3~ women attended I) rial courscs of lecture for preparing themsel ves for re.exalll· , lna· tion for ,"onchers and medallions. Of this numbcr two men and four women failed to sati fy thc examincrs. From the above wc scc that there hav e been 292 men and 165 women, or n, tobtl of 457, who haye rcccivcd in truction in rendering first aid to the injureu during the year cnuing cptcm bcr 30th. D uring the month of June a mon tcr Coal Mincr ' DemOl}stration was held ill De\\'sbUl'y, \\'hen no less than 0,000 miners ",alkell in procession through the principal strect , accompanied by eighty bands of 111n ic. A nunlber of certificatecl membcrs, along with a batch of thc Divi, iOIl of the Brigade ancl Nursing sisters, were told off to variou stations, to render first aid if neces al'y. All passed oIf well, as only fiftepu ca es of fainting had to be rcported, thanks to thc excellent arrangements made by the :Mayor and Chief ConstaLlc, ince the formation of the Heavy Woollcn District Centre, 5,746 Certificates have been i ned, a \\' ell as 76 medallions, making a grand total of 6,622. The thanks of the officers and Committee are herc tendered to the meuical gentlemen \\'ho have lectured to the several classe<> during the year. It may be of some interest to state that 256 conrse~ of lectures l1ave been gratuitol1sly given by the medical men in the di trict. The num bel' of qualificd practitioners who have willingly taken part is fifty, the whole of whom are, or haye been resident in the area of the Heavy ·Woollen District Centre; amI when we conf!ider that each COlUHC COil ists of at lcast . ix spccial evenings, ,,"e find that the e gentlemen have given 111' no Ic than 1,530 evenings to this charitable object.

ANKUAL REPORT. THE work has gone on and. increased, and. over £360 has passed through the Secretary's hands this ),e:1r. This is greatly because Association and Brigade work together here, and so the uniform of the I pswich Corps has been all paid for through the Centre. The Hon. Secretary of the Centre was also asked to present the new Ea t Anglian ChallEmge Cu p at the first com petition. A very successful fete was held on Whit-Monday, and the £34 gained. is to be the nucleus of the H ead-quarters' Fund, a head-quarters being now an urgent necessity. There have been quite 200 cases of fir t aid rendered and removals, and the horse ambulance carriage has certainly travelled 300 miles. To Messrs. C. W. Gooderham and Ide belong)he credit of ha,ing saved life. A man with compound fracture of the femur would have bled to death before reaching the hospital. The crowd tri ed to give brandy, and was thoroughly angry with the ambulance men for refusing to allow it, and to use the cab which had been sent for. The men rendered first aid until the arrival of the ambulance carriage and of the doctor, Dr. Eades, for whom they had at once sent, and he testified at once to their having saved the man's life.

ANNUAL REPORT. THE present position of ambulance affairs throughout this Centre is highly gratifying. Ooe looks back on times of apathy and discouragement, and realizes that, after all, steady and persistent work is sure to tell in the long run . During the past year 19 classes have been conducted; 209 men and 117 women have completed courses of instruction; 256 certificates and 41 medallions have been gained. No previous year has shown any such results, and this is not all; the certificated pupils pass into the ambulance corps and nursing divisions, all of which are in a highly efficient state, and ready for every eme rgency. T he services, alike of ambulance men and nursing sisters, are in frequent demand in tbis (factory) town and the adjacent villages, and gratefully welcomed.

iu their list of subjects.

Forty-eight classes have been held in the town and county;

4 women's nursing, 10 women's first aid, and 1 in men's nursing; and 33 in men's

first aid; 507 men were examined, 454 of whom passed, and 177 men examined, 157 passed, making a total of 611 certificates issued.

The re-examinations also show

a considerable increase; 236 men presented themselves, and all satisfied the .examiners; of 33 women examined, 30 passed.

During the year fi5 mellallions bave

been i sued, 30 to men, and 25 to women. The Committee have pleasure in stating that two large and successful classes have beeu held, cons isting of Midland Railway employes, anu 26 men of the Permanent Way Department, and 30 of the Locomotive Department obtained their certificates. 'This mnst be regarded with special sati faction, ambulance knowledge being most e sential to men who are constantly among t the dangers inevitably associated with railway work.

It is no less gratifying to report classes in connection with the

borough police and the fire brigaue, a large percentage of the member of which are now certificate holders . The Oommittee desire to eXl!ress their gratituue to the Medical Staff for their gratuitous as istauce.

The increased work of the Oentre during the past session

adds materially to the deep sense of the obligation the Oommittee owe to them for the \yilliug manner in which they have given their services. The annual public meeting took place at the Temperance Hall on Monday, October 22nd, 1900, and was largely attended, the hall ueing filled in every part. Amongst those who were present was His W ol'ship the Mayor (Ahl. 'Yindl ey,

Sir John Rolleston, M.P. , A sistant Oommissioner T. H. \\~oolston, Rev. Oanon Sanders, LL.D. (Ohairman of the Oentre), Mr. Wortley S. Lovell (Vice-Ohairman).

The proceedincrs '" • . b "er& rendered additionally attractive by the presence o[ Lady Sarah 'Wilson, who gracefully presented the certificates and medallions. The re nIt of the aturday collection, considering the nnmber of calls which were being made at this time upon the genero ity of the public, mllst be considered as fairly succe flllly, £19 Os. 9d. being rea Ii ed, '.fter all expenses hac.l been paid. The Committee acknowlec.lge with gratitude .he material help given to the Funds of the Centre. They have, however, to take into early consideration S0111e more permanent method of obtaining money to carry out the large: .nel increasing work of the Centre. The Committee again express their thanks to the Subscribers fot' their kind help, in enabling them to uphold the l)roud position Leicester has gained in ambulance work., at the same time they trust that duringlthe corning year the subscription list will be considerably augmented, Sl) that the Centre ma;v still further extend its sphere of usefulne s. The opportlUlity cannot be allowed to pass by without expressing the regret of the Committee at the 1'e ignation of l\Iiss Fullagll.l' from the l)osition of Assistant Secretary for the women' classes. Mi s Fullagar, who is an H onorary Associate of the Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem in England, hus been connected with the ambulance movement since the formation of the Centre, first as General Secretary, and afterwards as Secretary of the women's classes. The Committee most unwillingly accepted her resignation, knowing as they did the thorough and earnest work which had been done, and the valuable and skilful help Miss Fnllagar always so generously gave to the furtherance of the eause of first aid anrl sick nursing. They trust that for the sake of the "ork her advice and experience may l()ng be held at the disposal of the Committee. The annual Shield Competition took place at the Old Town Hall on Tlmrs:!ay, January 24th, 1901. Depnty Inspector-Generall\I. Coates, ~r.ll . , R.X., again undertook the duty of judging the merit of the respective teams. The following was the award :-1. The \Vheatsheaf Division, with a total of 372 marks; 2. The vVorking Men's Club and Institute Division, 3-16 marks; 3. The Adult 'chool Division, 307 marks. Maximulll numher of points, 450. The following are the winners of the Shield, which they are entitled to hold for ~yelve months :-1\lessrs. Matthews, Wignall, Lord, Pmyell, and Ward. In addition to becoming holders of the Shield, the Wheatsheaf Di,i ion receives the sum of £2 lOs. towards its working expenses, and each member receives a silver medallion, or its equiyalent. Th e members of the second team each reccive a bronzc medal. An unusually large number of cases of first aid rendered by certificate holders has been reported. Space will not permit a detailed account of the different injuries that have been treated. It must be sufficient to say that the Leicester Branch of the St. John Ambulance Association continues to do a splendid work-a work appreciated by the public generally, and which has the hearty co-operation and a si tance of the merlical men of the town. I n conclusion, it gives the Committee much pleasure)n reporting that the work of the past session has been the greatest since the formation of the Centre, and that the prospects for the coming session show no sign of any diminution or loss of interest in the work.

Ar NU AL REPORT. ALTUOUGH the number of clas es held in this Oentre during the past year has not been quite so numerous as in thc previons one, yet they have been well attended and most successful. Therc have bccn held 12 clas cs in first aid, attended by 277 pupils, and 4 women's nursing classcs, attendcu by 97 pupils, anu 2 0 certificates haye been granted. Large numbers of those who year by year obtain certificates join the Northampton Oorps of the St. John Anlbulance Brigade, and render efficient service in first aid anll transport work. During the pa. t year 520 cases of first aiel have been reportcd, incluuing over fifty fractures and dislocations. A special word of praise ill this connection must be given to those who so promptly and efficiently rcndered as istance to the sufferer's in the recent dreadful accident cau erl by the overturning of a loaded tramcar in l\Iercer's Row, the fact that over twenty serious case, principally componnd fractures, ,yere attended to, and properly conveyed to the Iufil'mary on stretchers within twenty-five minutes of the catastrophe speaks for itself, and the Hon. Surgeons at that Illstitutioureport that owing to the excellent manner in which first aid had oeen afforded to the sufferers the majority of them made a rapid recovery. The ambulance carriages have been used dnriug the year for the transport of 84 patients, and have travelled 612 miles, the services of officers and men being in every case cheerfully and gratuitously given. It is with profound sorrow that this Oommittee have to record the death in the prime of life of one who must be lookell upon as the founder of ambulance work in this district, and who for the whole period since the formation of the Oentre has taken a leading part in the organization . Whether as local H on . Secretary, Chairman of Oommittee, or Ohief Surgeon of the Corps, the late Dr. Arthur H. Jon es always threw his great, energy and business capacity into t he work . and :\[

inspired in others much enthusiasm to assist in the cause of suffering humanity. At a meeting presided over by the Mayor (Mr. F. G. Adnitt,), high tribute was paid to the memory of onr late Ohailman, and a vote of deepest sympathy accorded to Mrs. Jones and her fami ly in their irreparable loss. The Oommittee desire to tendcr their sincere thanks to those noblemen and gentlemen who so generously entertained at a banquet in the Guildhall those men who had returned after having served their Queen and country in outh Africa. The remembrauce of that gathering \Villli ve long in the memory of those privileged to be present, and especially the gracious messages of thanks and congratulation sent through the Pl'esident, the Marquis of N orthampton, by Her Majesty the late Queen Victoria and H. R. H . the Prince of Wales. Excellent reports have been received from country sections, in most of which good work is in progress. I n conclusion, the Oommittee tender hearty thanks to the Governors of the I nfirmary for the use of a room for lectures and drills; Messrs. Hughes & 00. for providing the Oentre with an office : Drs. Ohamberlain, Cropley, H owatt, and Jacobs for p-ratuitous courses of lectures; Mr. J . Oooper, J.P., for his great kindness to all at the annual inspection of the Oorps and to Mr. G. W . Gordon for a uditing the accounts.

IT is with pleasure that the Committee present their eventeenth Annual Report . The work continues to be satisfactory, and there is abundant reason for congra.tulation. But the Committee much regret to have to record the 10. s by death of one of their Vice- Presidents. The late Mr. Woodall seems to have been the very first to take any practical step towards promoting ambulance work in the Potteries, at Bnrslem, and elsewhere in North StalforJshire, his interest and active support were always available. His high public position, well-known sympathy with all philanthropic effort, and his great personal popularity enhan ced the effect of all that he did for the cause. This Ambulance Centre feels hi los k een ly, and will gratefully cherish his memory. It is a pleasure to announce that il' Thomas alt, Bart., ha accepted the office of VicePresident. Sir Thoma Salt in his position of Chairman of the North Stafford Railway CompaT1Y, has long taken an interest in Ambulance ,Vork, and, together with hi Board of Director.;;, has done much to encourage Railway men to become efficient in first aiJ. The year has been fmitful in steady progress. 'fhe chief cause for sR-tisfaction is not any increase in the number of students-which cannot always be expected-but a vi ible growth of appreciation of a,mbulance \\'ork among th e public, anJ an even heartier support than ever on the part of the m embers of the Medical Profession. The Committee again offer thp.ir incel'e thanks to all the Honorary Medical taff. We have already allurleJ to the general efficiency of the N. S. Railway men. ,Ye arc glad to add that the Police of the County, and of se\-eral Boroughs, are also encouraged 1y their Authorities to qualify themselves. This is an important factor in increasing the public safety. The Staffordshire County Council have kindly continued their welcome grant in aid of certain of the classes organized by tho Centre in accordance with theilregulations and reqnirements.

AI. NUAL REPOHT .

THE past year has been characterized by the same activity and earnestness in ambulance work which was commented on in the la t annual report. It is gratifying to be able to say that the stimulus given by the outh African war appears to have permauently benefited the work of this Centre. Of 137 ambulance men who went from Oldham to South Africa a large proportion have now returned home, and the Committee wish to express their gratification that "'ithont exception the conduct of the men ha been good, and their work has been done in a sati factory manner. The Committee deeply regret that three men lost their Ii vas in the performance of their ·dnty in South Africa, and eXl)I'ess their sympathy with the relatives and friends who mourn their loss. During the year 23 classes have been completed, and 495 certifi. ·cates aud 69 medallions have been awarded. To the lecturers, Drs. Bauchop, Oliver, "\Vakelam, A. Thomson, Fort, Hearn, La,,,, Lendrlll11, and "\Yilkinsoll, aU of whom have, as usual, given their services gratuitou 'ly, the cordial thanks of the Oentre is again ·d ue. T he Oommittee have great pleaslll'e in recording that District Ohief Surgeon T homson ani!. Ambulance Officer Sellars had the honour on July 17th to receive from the hands of H is Majesty the King the medal for conspicuous service to the .ambulance department of the Order. A large number of cases have received efficient first aid during the year, and the horse ambulance service has been worked with .great promptitnde, and has been largely taken advantagc of.

ANNUAL REPORT. SIX claSSeS have been held during the past session which were attended by 114 pupils. A new depa.rtl1re was the inauguration of a class for Smack-boys; this was held, by kind permission at the Smack-boys Home, and was commenced by Dr. Tamplin . Arrangements are being made to hold simultaneous clarsses for the fisher folk here, and at L owestoft, as there is considerable difIleulty in gettillg opportunity for the necessary instrueti.on at one port only, and it is believed that as soon as arrangements are finally made, a nd become generally known, such classes will be warmly welcomed by those concerned, and will be t horoughly successful.

ANI UAL HEPORT. DURING the year classes have been held at pringhead, D enshaw, Uppermill, and Diggle with very gratifying results. It is pleasing to the Committee to know that there have again been many instances where the knowledge gained at these cla~ses has been of great value in alleviating pain, and in at least one case of saving life. ·While such usefulness exists the Committee feel sure that they will receive, as in the past, the hearty support and assistance of the public at large. To the nledical Statf, the Committee and students are extremely grateful for the uninterested efforts they have put forth. I n June last a succe ful cycle parade was held, by which both the Association and the Volunteel' force were benefited. During the year 36 men were examined in first aid, 19 ladies in first aid, 51 ladies in ick nursing, and 36 ladies in hygiene; 3 men failed in fir t aill, :2 ladies in sick nursing, and 1 lady in hygiene; 2 meu and 30 ladies have q l1alified for the medallions issued by the Association. Since the Centre was formed 211 men have been examined in first aid, 249 ladies in first aid, 1 6 ladies in sick nursing, and 36 ladies in hygiene; men failed in first aid, 4 ladies in first aid, 9 ladies in sick nur, ing, and 1 lady in hygiene; 41 medallions have been is ued to men, and 68 to ladies.

AN TUAL REPORT. IN presenting the Nineteenth Annual Report the Committee are glad to be able to state that dnring the past year much good work has been done hy the Sheffield Oentre. Twenty-six classes have ueen held (twenty-four first aid and two nursing), and in audition to these the memuers of thirty-eight classes (twenty-seven first aid and ele\ren nursing) heldJin connection with chool Board Evening Oontinuation Schools, have had the benefit of examination by the Official Examiner of the Association. The total membership of t.hese classes was 961, as against 835 in the previous year. At the examinations h ·ld on behalf of the Central Execntive, 6 7 students (including 89 juniors) passed the first examination, 142 the first re-examination, and 139 the seconu or final re-examination. These figures , added to those of previons years, make a total of ll, 035 passe~ since the formation of the centre. The follO\\"ing members of the medical profe sion have kindly acted as lecturers uuder the Centre during the past year :-Mr. P . E. Barber, Dr. P. Bennett, Dr. W. Branson, Mr. V. G. . Dearden, Dr. Fordyce (Hackenthorpe), Mr. H. Hallam, l'tlr. J. R. Hill, Dr. Kenny (Treeton), Dr. Peterson (Intake), Mr. R. H. Pritchard, Dr. Rooth (Dronfield), Dr. Scott (Woodhouse), l'tIr. T. A. Sheahan, Dr. G. Skinner, Dr. Innes-Smith, Dr. J. Stokes, Mr. J. W. tokes, Mr. W. E . Toync, and Miss Westlake. Successful classes have been held during the past year at several of the large works in the district. '1.'hc Oommittee wonld again urge npon all employers of labonr the desirability of enconraging the formation of fir t aid classes amongst their men. A class has been held for llIe1l1 hers of the Police Force, and 34 officers have during the year passed the first examination. The Committee wonld respectfnlly point out to the Watch Oommittee the advisability of maintaining the proficiency of the force in the art of rendering first aid to the inj ured. Classes have also been held in connection with the heffield Ambulance Brigade the Boys' Brigade and the Sheffield Sunday School Union. The Ambulance Brigade formed in heffield two years ago has continued to do much good work in maintaining the high standard of effi ciency attained to by many ambulance men in Sheffield. The Committee would heartily congratulate the offieers and members of the Brigade upon ttle success of their efforts. Reference was made in the last Annual Report to the pnrchase of an improved twohorse ambulance carriage by the City Watch Oommittee. T his carriage, and also the one provided by t he Centre some years ago, has been very much in request during the past year, the number of calls since January 1st last; having been no l ess than .589, as compared with a total of 29 in the preceding year. The carriages are in

188

ANNUAL REPORT. DURING the past year several classes have been hcld; 35 members of the Borough Police Force attended a conrse of lectures, and of these 3 received medallions, 10 received first re·examination vouchers, and 15 received first aid. certificates. On several occasions they have been able to render valuable aid in cases of accident. For the first time in the history of this centre a clas of men have attended nursing lectures and all succeeded in passing. For several years past classes for first aid training have been held in connection with the Science and Art Oommittee of the Southport Corporation, but hitherto that Committee have refused to allow the pupils to be cxamined by the t. John Ambulance A sociation Examiners. It has now been arranged that for the future all such classes shall ba held in connection ",ith this centre. Statement oj Receipts and Expenclit~wejor 1900·1901.

ANNUAL REPORT. IN presenting the cighteenth annual report, the Oommittee are pleased to state that the work of this Oentre is carried on with unabatcd interest, and that steady progress continues to be the feature of this Centre's work. During the year ended October 1st, 1901, 13 classes han been held. Oompared with last year this shows an increase of 5 classes with an aggregate of 190 students against 176 last year. Since the formation of this Centre 1 years ago, the following certificates and medallions have been granted :-Lac1ies' first aid 477, nursing 264, medallions 215 ; men's fhst aid 17l0, medallions 363 ; grant total certificates and mcdallions 3,029 . The progress of the work of the Oentre is largely due to the' indefatigable energie3 of the Medical Staff, whose di intere ted labours are willingly placed at the disposal of the Centre, and to all of whom yonI' OOlllmittee are deeply grateful, likewise to the Hon. Class ecretaries of the men's classes, and to :;Uisses Robson and kinner, Hon. Secretaries to the ladies' cIa ses. The Committee gratefnlly acknowlcdge the continued support of the Oorporation by a grant from the Technical Educ[1tion Oommittee, which brings the opportunity of obtaining instruction in ambulance work within the reach of all classes of the community. The interest of the police in the work is unabated, pmctically the whole of the members of the borough and river police are certificated men, and are freq ueat1+called upon to render [1ssistance in ca e of street accidents, some notable cases where first aid has been efficiently rendered have been reported. Weare pleased to record that tile borough police have formell themselves into a Division of the St. John Ambulance Brigarle. This is the first men's Division formed in the town. Seventy. five boys of the Wellesley training ship have passed a highly creditabl~ examination during the year. This is a most satisfactory state of things, and shows the great interest taken in the boys by Oaptain Baynham and the officers of the Wellesley training ship.

193

192 Weare again indebted to 1\1iss Ro bso11 and 1\1iss Skinner, the Hon. Secretaries t the ladies' classes. The interest taken in these classes is very satisfactory , for' , as0 was pointed out in our last annual report, from these classes alone the ranks of th ladies' nursing guild are recruited, also the ladies' division of St. John Ambulanc: Brigade, which was formed last year. In conclusion, we do not record the cases where invaluable help has been oO'iv en, and probably life saved, by our students, but from cases reported the Committee are convinced of the reality of the work of this Centre, and are encouraged to continue their work, relying upon the inhabitants of the borough for practical sympathy and support to an Association, which has for its only object the relief of human suffering.

Mr. J. Dunn. A "NUAL REPORT.

INpresenting the annual report the Committee are again pleased to record that a large number of good work has been accomplished during the year. The work of the Centre has progressed favourably, increasing interest has been manifested, and the outlook for next session is very encouraging. During the year two classes have been held-one from females (conducted by Dr. W. P. Brown) and one for males (conducted by Dr. J. Dunn), for instruction in first aid. The classes have been most successful, for which great credit is due to the instructors and to the students for the interest they have taken in their studies. As mentioned in last year's report, the Committee have expended £10 on nursing appliances, which have been in great demand by the public. A cupboard has been erected in the fire brigade station for hould anyone require any of the above appliances the purpose of storing the same. they can be obtained from Mr. Dilworth, caretaker of the Public Baths, on production of a written request signed by the sick person's medical attendant, district nurse, or t.he local Hon. Secretary. The ambulance carriage has been used twenty-six times since March 1st, 1900, and students have rt'!1dered valuable assistance in the removal of accident and invalid cases. It becomes a pleasant duty to revert with sincere gratitude to the continued devotion of the medical staff, Dr . Brown and Dr. Dunn, who are unceasing in rendering gratuitous services in instructing students, and without their valuable assistance the certificates of the past year could not have been gained. The Oommittee beg to tender their most hearty thanks to all subscribers and friends who have helped on the work in anyway. It is a pleasure also to be able to state that the Association was instrumental in raising the sum of £25 by a concert held in the Town Hall on March 3rd, 1900, for the purpose of assisting the local War Relief Fund, which amount was handed over to the Oommitt.ee dealing with that matter. In conclusion the Oommittee beg to impress on all present the growing necessity for a knowledge of how to render first aid in cases of accident or sudden illness, and so be the means of saving much suffering, and may be human life, an d trust that the new classes may be still more successfnl than those of the past.

A "NUAL REPORT. Oommittee, in presenting the annual report of the Adelaide Centre, have much pleasure in stating that the progress made during the period under review has been satisfactory in every respect, as whilst the finances of this Centre have greatly improved, no less than 210 pupils have been present at first aid classes and 44 pupils have attended nursing classes. Bp.fore referring more particularly to the work of the past year the Committee wish to place on record their sense of the deep loss which has been sustained by the whole of the British Empire through the death of H er Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, the Sovereign Head of the Order of St. John of Jerusalcm in England. By the financial statement which accompanies this report it will be noted that the Association is once more in receipt of the Government subsidy of £ 50, which is gratifying, and enables the Association to revive the liberal terms on which the railway employes and. the police can attend the classes. So far the railway servants have not thi year for111ed. any classes, which is to be regretted when the special character of their occupation is considered j but it is pleasing to record that Colonel Madley (Commissioner of Police) has formed two maximum classes from members of the City Police Force, one of which is now going through a course of lectures under Dr. Morgan, and on completion the other will immediately follow. By the class books of the Association it is now shown that 1,702 persrms hold firs t aid certifi cates, 24.6 hold nursing certificates, and 170 hold junior ccrtificates from the Adelaide Centre.

In conclusion, th e Committee would point out the good work done by this Centrein the ?~st, and express the .hope that all who are ~on.versa~t with the advantages of the trallllllg and knowledge Imparted by the ASSocHl.tLOn WIll combine in inclucina their friends to attend the lectures, and so acquire information necessary to euabl: them to render assistance in cases of accillent or illness.

ANNUAL REPORT. IN presenting the Ele,'enth Annual Report uf the New South Wales Centre of the St. John Ambulance A ociation, the Council have much pleasure in referring to the increasing actiyity of the work of the Oentre. An address \)f loyalty and welcome was presented to His Excellency the GovernorGeneral shortly after his al'l'ival, in which was included expressions of sorrow and regret at the death of Her late .Majesty Qlleen Victoria, the "overeign Head and Patron of the Order, anu a declaration of loyal allegiance to her son and successor, His Majesty hing EdwarJ. VII. Perhaps the most important work of the year is the establishment of the St. John .Ambulance Brigade for the State of New South ,Vales. On :llIay 29th, H.R.H. the Duke of Cornwall and York received a deputation from the Executive Committee when an address of welcome was presented, anu which was duly acknowl edgeJ. by His Royal Highness. Lt. -001. Yandeleur Kelly, Lt. -Col. T. Parrott, Lt. Col. Fiaschi, D. S. 0., and lIIajor Roth, D.S. O., who had been a,ny on active service, were welcomed back to office. Your Committee report with pleasure the formation of a branch of the Association at Suva, Fiji, where it is expected good progress will be made in this new fielJ. The Medical men and officers are showing a keen interest in the work of instruction on these islands. A large public meeting was held in connection with the Balmain Branch in 1I1arch last-lI.i:r. J. W. Hope presiding-Lt. -Col. Parrottj presented medallions and certificates. An important public meeting was also held in May last at Summer EiJl, when the Western Suburbs Branch officially opened their Ambulance Station. 1111'. Winchcombe, M. P., presided, and Major Roth au dressed the meeting. Largely fI.ttended public meetings have also been held in the city, suburbs and eountry districts for the purpose of forming classes and presentation of certificates. A number of classes have been instructed during the year in all parts of the State. Perhaps the most important are those held in connection with the Police Department; members of the police force are constantly receiving instruction in first aid, and an arrangement is a bout to be suggested to the Inspector-General which will admit of members attending classes who are not at the time required for duty. The number of metropulitan police now instructed amounts to 354, of whom 236 hold certificates and 8 have received medallions. The Superint endent bas kindly furnished a report, giving a number ot cases in which important first aid has been rendered by certificated constables.

The Minister for Public Instruction has again IJeen pleased to have classes formed amongst the students in training at Fort treet and Hurlsione Training Oolleges (:Ma jor Roth being the L e c t m e r ) . . . . Lectures in aiel of the funds were glven by Major Holmes, D.,'.O., and 11aJor Roth, D.S.O. , by means of which about £40 was realiscd. three adJ.itional boxes of comforts were forwarded to the Red DurillO'o the year . .Cross Oommittee at Cape Town, for the Australian Troops. Messrs. Dalgety & Co. rendered us valuable assistance in this work by carrying the boxes free to Cape Town. Sir Herbert P errott and the Commissioner of the ReO. Cross Association at Cape Town tendered their best thanks to Miss Greenway and the dOllors of the comforts. The work done shows that 723 candidatcs have attended a full course of instruction during the year-(289 men and 434 women), of whom 499 passed their examinations (men 219, women 2 0), and 19 (lllalified for medallions. The total number of persons who have attcnued a full course of Ambulance Lectures now amounts to 7,572 , of whom 5,146 lJassed their examination (2,352 men, 2,794 women), and 245 have qualified for mcdallions by passing the third and final examination.

ANNUAL REPORT. THE Oouncil of the Victoria Oentre of the St. JOh]l Amlmlance Asso ciation hare much pleasure in presenting their Eighteenth Annual Report to the members and subscribers. On learning of th e death of H er late Maj esty Queen Yictoriu, the SoYereign Head and Patron of the Order, (the Oouncil, through the President, Dr. J. E. Neild.. forwarded to His Majesty the King, through the Ohief eeretury in London, a cop; of a resolution expressing their sincere sorrow at the death of H er late Majesty, and declaring their loyal allegiance to her son anu 'ucce · or, Hi Maj esty King Edward VII. The Oonncill'eport with sincere regret the death of their esteemed President, 1111'. Lloyd Tayler, which took place on the 17th August; and that a letter of sympathy was forwarded to his widow and family. Mr. Lloyd Tayler was Olle of the founders of this centre, and was connected with it since its initiation in 1 83 , and as President since the death of Sir Wm. J. Olarke, Bart. H e always took the greatest interest in its IJrogress, and was most regular in his attendance at all it meetings. The Oouncil have also to record the death of Mr. George Wrigley in May last. He was connected with the Association as a member of the Oouncil since 1895, and proved an active member. Dr. James Edward Neild, Honorary Associate of the Order, was elected ,President in place of the late Mr. Lloyd T ayler, and Mr. John Blyth, Ohairman of Council, and Mr. J. O. Anderson, Hon. Treasurer.

aud York, K.G. The work of the Association shows some progress during the year, 33 classes having bew in structed, and the receipts from class fees show a small increase-still insufficieut to uefray the ",Jorking expenses. The list of Life members bas been increased by fifteen. The Oouncil beg to tender their sincere thanks to those members, and would be glad to add others; the ,qualification is a llonation of five guineas, and these rlonations enable the Association to extend its opemtions in instruction, and to maintain the ambulance service. Your Council also desire to tender their thanks for many other liberal donations. A new am bulaJlee waggon has been built, and through the generosity of the "Daughters of the Oourt," who establishec1 a Twentieth Oentury :Fund for the purpose of defraying the cost of the waggon, the sum of £90 was raised and forwarded by Mrs. L. J. Bevan, High Dame of the Order, anu Mrs. Neild to the Association through the President, Dr. J. E. Neild, for the purpose. The ambulance waggon has proved a great boon to the public, both in cases of accident and for the transport of invalids, as evidenced by the fact that it has been called out over 400 times during the past twelve monLhs. The Oouncil desire to acknowledge the valuable assistance whieh Ohief Officer Stein has rendered in superintending thi!:l work; also to express thanks to the Fire Brigade Board. who so generously permitteu it to he canied 011 until, owingto the increasing demand on the time of their men and horse ', it became necessary to request the A sociation to recoup them for the actual cost of maintaining this service. The ambulance waggon may be summoned hy telephone or otherwise, and sufferers from any serious accident will be expeditiou 1y removed by members of the brigade, who have been carefully trained how to render first aid to the injured when required. Your Council arc glad to notice the increasing appreciation of ambulance classes, which have been held in connection with Public and Private chools, Mechanics' Institutes, Schools of Mines, Technica l Oolleges, the Australian N ati ves' Association, Young Men 's and Women's A ocia tions, Girl ' Friendly Societies, and kindred associations which afford pecial facilitie for organising and holding classes, and also in connection with manufacturing companies, such as the Deer Park Explosives Company, The Ohemical ,Yorks, The ugar Refining Oompany, The Mutual Store, &c., &c. The Council ag,l,ill uesire to impre s on the jl,Iinister of Education, the principals of schools, and all education:11 institution, the importance of forming classes und having their pupils taught \yha,t to do in cases of accident 01' sudden illness until the aid of a medical man can be obtained. The ability to renLler first aid is undoubtedly one of the most important branches of eLlucation. Schools, above all, afforu the best opportunity, at the age when impressions are most deeply made, for leaming what to do in ca es of accident; and as an ind.ncement, the fee for tho e attel1Llin oa . chool has been reduced to five shillinas for 0 a course of lectures on first aid, and a certificate is a\yarued on pa sing an examination.

IN presenting the report for the year the Oommittee i pleased to be in a l)osition to state that the work done ha been satisfactory. Three classes were held in Dunedin -viz., a men's first aiel, conducted by Dr. H. A. de L autour, and examined by Dr. Macpherson and Dr. Stenhouse; a women's first aid, conducted by Dr. Macpherson and examined oy Dr. Will and Dr. de L autour ; a women's nursing, conducted by Dr. Will and examined by Dr. Gordon Macdonald and Dr. MacKellar. The applications for attendance were in excess of the means of instruction, so that many had to be refu sed in each class. The number attending the men's first aid class was

22,5

22~

55, attending the women's first aid 5 ,and attending the nursing 69, making a total of 1 2. Besides the e classes, one composed of ])jem bel's of the Engineers was held with an attemll1nce of 46, which was conducterl by Surgeon-Major Will and examined by Surgeon Lieutenant-Colonel de Lautour. In Oamaru the Branch of this Centre canied on nccessfullya cla s each [or men's l1nd women's first aid and anothel for Jll1l'sing. The lecturer for these cIa ses were re 'pectively : Drs. J. 'Whitton, Dr. A. Douglas, and Dr. K. McAdam; Dr. Falconer undertaking the examination of the men's first ail and the nnrsillg, while Dr. Cruickshank conducted the examination of the women's fir t rtid . Dr. A. tenhou e lectl1l'ed to and Dr. MaeKniaht examined a cIa s in meu's first aid at St. Bathan's. At Crolllwell n, class in lll~'S first aid and one in women's fir t aid were held, the lectures being given by Dr. Morris and the examination made by Dr. Gregg. Tapa,nui, again this year, had a class each for women and men in fir t aid, Dr. B. E. rle Lantour lecturinCl and Dl' , t:> G. A. Copland examining. Dr. Hislop's classes at \Yaikonaiti were also helel, and Dr. Macpherson examined the member. In the majority of the pa, ses the knowledae I:> ~hown by tho e coming up for examination wa, the examiners say, yery creditable, and in some case remarkably 80 , As n ual, a numher of students at the l\Iining School attended the men's first aid class in Dunedin to obtain the St, John Ambulance Certificate, which is required before the diploma can be received ,' also four ladies who are being trained in missionary work attended the women's first aid class to obtain a knowledge of ambulallce work. The Committee takes this opportunity of thanking the medical gentlemen who have conducted the lectures and examinations, and at considerable trouble to themselves. The thanks of the Centre are due to uperintelldent Mitchell and members of the Fire Brigade for the use of the Brigade rooms for meeting of the men's class; to the New Zealand hipping Company for their appreciation of the good work done by the Association by remitting the freight of the litter, &c., for the Oamaru Corps, this being the second time the company has done so in Dunedin; and to the Hon, Auditor.

QUETTA CENTRE. Form ed 1901.

ANNU AL REPORT. THE Madras Centre-i.e. , that of the South I Utlia branch of the 'to John Ambulance Association-was only inaugurated in April, 1901, after a meeting at the Banqueting Hall, under the presidency of H.E. Lord Ampthill, Governor of Madras. A committee of management was appointed, and since then fOllr classes ill first aid -viz., two for men and two for women- have been ll eld wilh very satisfactory results. The movement is at present in it~ elllbryonic stage, but is making steady progress, especially with the railway companies, and in the Mofussil dislricts where centres are being formed. The formation of thcse centres is also greatly facilitated by the recent ruling of ViscounL Ellutsford and the Central Executlve Committee contained in the Chief Secretary's letter, daterl ,ejltembcr 5th, 1901, as regards the qualifications of lecturers to the Association in Inuia. There is now every prospect of the work of the Association rapidly spreading all over 'Hlthern I nuia.

ANNUAL REPORT.

AT the l'cque!:lt of lajor A . C. Yate a meeting ,vas heW on April 22nd of those interested in the As oeiation, at which it was resolved that a centre should be estaLbhed at Qlletta. On May 28th Lt.-Col. Battersby d elivered an interesting preliminary lecture to a large and represen tative audience. Lieut. Lowson instructed a clnss of native :soldiers and lJolice, and aLa a ladies' class, and Capt. N ovis a cIa s composed of Vohlllteers and persons connected with the N .·W .Railway. These officers kindly gave their services gratis althongh their professional duties left them little leisure. The troops were instructed in ambulance duties by their own mr::dical officers, but there ,\'Us no one availabJe to lecture to them in accordance with the rules of the .Association. The laLlies class 'Tas not examined for certificates as most of them had left for the hills before an examination could be arranged. The winter months at Quetta are mOl e favourable than the summer and autumn for holding classes, and it is intended to holll flesh classes in November when it is hoped t hat more progress will be maLle. It must, however, be borne in mind that in Ql1etta there is no leisure class and recruits have to be obtained from tberanks of those whose

reports rendered by the Deputy Commissioners of Districts show that the work of th l3 Brigade is being carried out with increased activity and efficiency. 'W ith v ery few exceptions the Oorps and Divisions already established have continued to. prosper, and the many ne,,:lyformed units have commenced work WIth a far better understandmg of the real objects aud duties of the Brigade than was formerly the case. Although there has been a marked advance all round in the matter of compliance with the regulations regarding the efficiency of members, there is still much room for improvement in this respect. The importance of insisting on the personal efficiency of every individual member, as defined in the regulations, is apparently not always recognised, especially in some of the older units, and many men are still allowed to retain membership who are not entitled to be considered efficient under the regulations, although they may be presumed to be still capable of rendering first aid. Still there are unmistakable signs that officers in charge of units are becoming more alive to the fact that it is better for the Brigade, and more honest towards the public, to have a few well instructed, well drilled, and well disciplined men who may be relied on to turn out for duty when required tlian to show a large number on paper who cannot be said to possess those qllalifica~ions or to show any particular eagerness to do duty in 1mblic. Accordingly it is gratifying to note that useless members of all l'ii.nks are gradually but surely being eliminated, and during the past year a good number of officers, both medical and ambulance, have been called upon to resign, and a large number of the rank and file dismissed from the Brigade, owing to persistent non-compliance with the regulations as to efficiency. The periodical returns required to be made by Oorps and Divisions are now rendered with much more regularity than in past years, some Districts being markedly less observant of rules in this respect than others, and comparatively few cases of "election" of officers and others without the knowledge of the respective Deputy Oommissioners now occur, and those only ill one or two Districts. Still there is much roo~ for improvement in the matter of rendering the periodical returns l'eqUlred by regulation, and in making out the forms of application for

THE

)

240 the appointment of officers and oth.ers, ~nd officers in ch~rge of Corps and Divisions will do well to bear III mmd that any claIms they may prefer for distinction, such as the Service Medal, will be judged not merely by the bare attendances that they ~ay. be able ~o record at drill, annual inspection, and annual re-exammatIOn, but WIt~ reference also to the punctuality with which they render the officIal returns called for and the care with which those returns are made out. At the'beCTinninCT b I:> of the •year a revision of the General H.egulations was issued, e~bodying all the Brigade ~rders ?f. permanent effect that had been published up to date. A revIsed edI~Ion of the Explanatory Instructions which are necessary for the gUIdance of persons who contemplate' forming new Divisions, was also issu~d at the same ti~e, and it may fairly be considered that the regulatIOns for the routIne administration of the Brigade are now as complete. as they can be made under present conditions. A revision of t~le. DrIll Manual has been ready for publication for many months, and It I~ much ne~ded for new!y formed Divisions' but as it is understood that certam changes III elementary foot d;ill, which mayor may not be improvements on the present system, are contemplated. in the army, it has been thought inadvisable to publish th~ work wlllc~ has be~n prel?ared f?r th~ use of the Brigade. As the DrIll Manual hItherto 111 use IS obSOlete III every respect, the elementary recruit and squad drill re9.uired has to ?e taught from the Infantry Drill book at present used ~n the army, whIle the stretcher drill is carried out in strict accordance WIth the Manual for the Royal Army Medical Corps. . The most important addition to the General RegulatIOns of 1902 was a rule that in future all Divisions and Corps must adopt the printed Rules issu€\d by authority. This was absolutely necessary owing to the impossibility of sanc~ioning m~ny of the proposed ru}es that were submitted from time to tIme, especIally by newly-formed umts, the members of which had no knowledge whatever of the regulations and rontine of the BriCTade; in addition to which a good deal of disappointment was nat~rally felt when sanction could not be given to impossible rules which were directly opposed to the General ReCTulations, and the necessity of explaining the reason why these fancy rul~s could not be allowed frequently entailed interminable correspondence from head-quarters. . The revision and correction of the Annual Reports of the varIOUS Di visions and Corps, especially those rendered from some Districts, have again given much trouble at head-quarters. In many cas~s the reports were absolutely unintelligible and the fignres rnamfestly incorrect. .Many units, as may be seen from the following pages, have not furnished reports at all, and some have only done so after repeated application, four or five months after the date on which they were due. In future greater punctuality and more care in the preparation of th~se Reports will have to be observed by many officers in charge of umts, if they desire that their service shall count as efficient service. . The supply of men as Hospital Orderlies for service in South. AfrIca continued without interruption) and without the slightest hItch or

241

failure until the issue of Special Army Order of 11 th March, 1901 (subsequently Army Order No. 86), the wording of which so effectually damped the enthusiasm of the officer~ and men of the Brigade that but few have since volunteered for serVICe. Up to the date of the Army Order referred to, the Brigade had supplied 1,934 men, including 50 men specially enrolled for service in the South African Constabulary, and it would have continued to supply as many men as might have been required) however long the war might have lasted. Since the Army Order came into operation, and the special inducement to throw all their energies into the work of keeping up the prestige of the BriCTade by furnishing all the auxiliary hospital orderlies required w~s taken away from officers and men) ~unly 112 have joined the ranks of the Royal Army Medical Corps with permission, thus brinCTing up the total who have served as Brigade men in South Africa (anla few of them in China also) to 2,046. A few men, the number of whom beyond 60 cannot be ascertained, have enlisted without permission, including some who would not have been selected by their own officers. It speaks well for the care with which volunteers from the Brigade were as a rule selected and examined by their medical officers, that the percentage of deaths from disease in South Africa was comparatively low) bu t it is r egretted that, according to official reports received, 62 men of the Brigade succumbed to disease contracted in the perforruancA of their noble work. In addition to these it is believed that 3 men have died in the service of the South African Oonstabulary. Nearly all the war medals due to men of the Brigade who served directly under the 'Var Office have been received from the military authorities and issued, but men who were attached to some of the private hospitals, such as the JJIaine and Imperial Yeomanry Hospital, have not yet received their medals, owing probably to the fact that they have not been sent to the Chief Commissioner for distribution, but to the Oommittees of the several hospitals. Every effort is, however, being made to secure the early distribution of these medals. The correspondence connected with the pay of men who have served in South Africa has been very trou blesome. Every possible help in obtaining the arrears of pay supposed to be ,due to them has been given, whether they have left the Brigade or not, but it is difficult for them and for their friends to understand that the Brigade has nothing whatever to do with tbeir pay, and that the Chief Commissioner can only give them advice as to the steps they should take in order t(1 secure any arrears that they may consider to be due to them. Much corr~spondenc e has also been necessitated by requests received from medIcal and pay officers in South Africa to recover sums of money found to be due from men after they have been settled up with. The following men of the Brigade have been mentioned in despatches as having rendered special and meritorious service :-Sergt. \V. ,y. Foulkes (Redruth Div.), No. II. District; Sergt. C. Eccles (Preston Oorps), Se~gt. F. H. Oldham (Crewe Division), Pte. B. B. Banks (Kendal DIv.), Pte. ,V. Rogerson (Preston Corps), No. IV. District;

242

Pte. A. England (Tibshelf Corps), Pte. A ..Ke~v (Leeds Corps), Pte. E. H. G. 'Vinyard (Sheffield Corps), No. V. Dlstnct. ~Pte. E. H. G. 'Vinyard has also been awarded the Medal for Distinguished Conduct in the Fie~d. .. .. . His J\Iajesty the King has gracIously sIgnIfied IllS mtentlOn to present war medals personally to a number of men selected from each of the Districts. It is not pleasant to have to record that the sergeants who contracted with the Colonial Office to serve for a term of years as ambulance seraeants in the South African Constabulary were arbitrarily reduced to ~ lower rank on arrival in South Africa, on the ground that they were not qualified compounders of medicine. The matter was duly represented to the Col?nial Office some n:onths ago, but .the ~en do not appear to have receIved a~y (;ompensatIOn or otl!er sa~sfactloI:. The St. J ohn Ambulan~e Brlgade War Fund, of whIch H ..r". H. Pnncess Christian was president., and the Viscountess Knutsford was chairman, has durin a the war expended the sum of £951 for the purchase of comforts f~r the men on service, besides contributing large quantities of material in kind, and all ranks of the Brigade have thoroughly appreciated the kindness of the members of the co~mi.ttee and of the subscribers who so liberally supported the fund, whICh IS now closed. Four of the "Bearer Companies (St. John Ambulance Brigade)," which are being provided for service in case of mobilization of the forces for home defence, have been officially inspected and handed over to the War Office. These have been furnished by the Bolton, Preston, Sheffield, and Oldham Corps respectively. A fifth will shortly be furnished by the Accrington Corps. It is to be regretted that neither the Metropolitan nor the Northampton Corps has as yet been able to provide a company as was originally intended. It i.s to be hope.d that the military authorities will see their way to acceptmg the serVICes of the Honorary Surgeons of the Brigade as officers for these Compan.ies in case of mobilization, always supposing tha.t there are medIcal gentlemen in the Brigade who poss~s.s the necessary qual~fi.cations as .to military command and are in a posItIOn to undertake to Jom for serVIce in any part of the united kingdom at a few hours' notice should mobilization be ordered. A scheme for the employment of men of the Brigade as Auxiliary Sick Berth A ttendants in ships afloat and in land hospitals in case of war bas for some time been under the consideration of the Admiralty. A gratifying feature in the administration of the Brigade is the increase of units in the British Dominions beyond the seas, and t.he desire shown by most of these to maintain close touch with the parent Brigade. It is hoped that Annual Reports from some of these Corps and Divisions will be received in time for publication in future. At the Royal Agricultural Show, held at Cardiff, the usual ambulance service was supplied by the Brigade, a small detachment from. he~,d quarters being supplemented by officers and men of No. II. DIstnct, chiefly from the Bristol Corps. Eight-four casualties were treated. Many visits to provincial Corps and Divisions have been made during the year, and in all cases with satisfactory results. On the 1] th May the

243

Bristol Division, a comparatively young but well-organized unit, was inspected an~. f?l'med in~o a corps. The..combined N.E. ~ancashire Corps and DI:'lSI?nS .were. mspected on the 22nd J ur~e, ~nd a full account of the inspectIOn IS glvenm the report for No. IV. DIstnct. On the 17th September 1901, the Northampton Corps was inspected. 174 of all ranks were on p~rade and the condition of this fine Corps was found to be very satisfactory. The Metropolitan Corps was inspected on the ~3rd November, 1901, when 494 of all ranks were on parade. In the competition for the Dewar Shield and the Symons Eccles Cup which was held in London on the 9th May, the first place was taken by a team frc:m East Ham, Metropolit~n Co'rps, ~eams from vVellingborough, Bnerfield, Sheffield. and ChIchester bemg placed second, third, fourth and fifth respectIvely. The Symons Eccles Cup was won by a team of the \Vellingborough Corps. A conference of officers was held at Hull on the 12th and 13th July when interesting papers were read by Chief Surgeon Sam. Osborn (Loddon), and Hon. Surgeon L. Molloy (Blackpool). It is to be regretted that the conference was not well at~ended: The approximate total strength of the BrIgade m England, 'Vales, and Ireland at the end of the past year was 9669 medical and ambulance officers and men, and 1835 nursing officers and nursing sisters. The Deputy Commissioners and their Staff Officers have throughout the year rendered invaluable service in their respective Districts, and all continue to gi,oe me every assistance in seeing that the regulations are observed. My especial acknowledgments are due to Deputy Commissioner Inspector-General B. Ninnis, who for several months carried on the routine work at head-quarters during my enforced absence from England.

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY COnHl! SIONER. HEAD-QUARTERS, ST, JOHN'S GATE, CLERKEXIVELL.

1st Octob'!l', 1900. I,

SIR, I have the honour to report for your information that the general state of the Metropolitan Corps, No. I. Di trict, during the past year has been highly satisfactory, and will bear very favouraule compari on with its condition at any previous period , One Hew Division has been formed, and one Division disbandeJ, and one is in abeyance; but I trust that the last will resume working at no very distant date. The Annual Divisional In pecLions were with fe\\" exceptions very sati factory, and I am informed by the Chief Surgeon that the re-examina.tions were quite up to the average. The number of officers, men, andnUl'sing sisters on public street duty during the period comprised in the report has been very large: for instance on the returtl of the C. L V., 362 of all ranks were on duty, rendering first aid and as i tance to 1,124 casualties. On the return of Lord Roberts, 212 members of all ranks were on duty, and attended to 6 casual tie , At the Funeral of Her Late Maje ty Queen Yictoria, upwards of 700 of all ranks were on duty, and attended to 1,305 ca ualties, In adJition to the e, the usual public street dnty and duty on open spaces have been carried out with the best results to the public. A . ~e.tachJ11ent has likewise been in (bily attendance at the Earl's Court Exlllblhon since May, and has contiuued to perform its duties up to the present date . . The very satiflfactory state of the secretarial depa.rtment of the Metropolitan Corps I S .d~l~ to the ahle and self-uenying services of some of the members of the Cyclist Dl~lslOn, under the superintendence of uperintendent Pontin of that unit, and for whICh I take this opportunity of tendering him and them my thanks, It is Hot too much to say that, without tbeir assistance the larrre and increa LnO' \,ork of that department conld not be carried on. 0 0 Tabular statements of detail III connection with the personnel, matel ial, and routine, accompany this report. I have the honour to he, ",iI', Your obeuient ervant, BELGRAVE NI~Nl, ,

To the Chief Commissioner St. J ohn Ambul a~ce Brigade.

The drill and parade work still leaves lIl11ch to he c1e~irc(l , appearing to interest the Division less than the more pmctical part of first airl. The goo!l atteJl(lance average. hown above, proves that the illLel'est has been well snstained tlll'Ollghout the year. The best evidence of the SUCl'CSS of the work clone i ' seen in tlIp position taken by the Division in the various cOlllJlPtitions: viz .. 2ml in the .M assf'y-Mainwaring; :3rd in the Dewar (I o. I Dist., prelililinary); alld Willl1erS in the initial c011test for the Osborn Shield . These results han lwen attainerlnot ll'y sacrificing the efficiency of the Division as a whole to secure a strong team for competition purpo .. es, but ra,thcr by encouraginCf every member to strive for a place in aile or other of the teams. 0 Public duty has been undertaken at Earl's Court and on other occa ions, as notably at the Funeral of Qneen \ Tictoria, lmt the small number at present in nniform makes it illlpos~ible for the Divi ion to do much in thi respect. In the factory of Sir Joseph Oauston & .' ons, Limited, however, llluch valuahle \York has been done, which has more than once heen cummended by the various hospital authorities.

SIR,

I bavc the honour to ubmit the Annual Report of K o. IY. District for the year ending 30th eptemher, 1901. There are in the Di ·trict Corps and 57 Ambulance Divi ion, with a gros. total of 3,07 officer' and mell. I have also nnder my 'upervi ion 30 NUl'3ing Divi iow, containing 4 Kursil1 C1 Ofticers ano. Nur ing "i tel'. I have to record an increa.e of 145 Amhulance Otncer' and men and an augmentation of 161 X ur ing Officer amI Xur'ing i tel". IT ew Ambulanc~ Divi ion' have been formed at ,'tockport, :JIacclenelrl, Lancaster, Jlillolll, Crompton Alsager, and A',hton-under-Lyne, and Nuring Divi. iOIl at KeIVchmch, Lytham: Dukinfield, Ri hton, Whalley, Crawf'haw1,00th. Ulver~ton, Hawtcll,'tall, and Ashtonnnder-Lyne. The Corp at Birkenhead and the Kuring Divi 'ion' at Belfast and Hapton have cea ed to exist. I personally in pected the follo"ing units :-Bolton, Abram Colliery. tockport, Rp,ddi h, X ewtown, ,Yhaley Bridge, Hazel Grove, Belfa ·t, J~endal, Ke. wick (Ambnlance ancl Kur ing), and Pre ton ~mbnlalH'e and ~-ursing . In the duty of il!Spection I had the a istance of my Ditrict "taff a here detailed : Chief nrgeon Thomson: Accrington (A. an 1 X. ,and Crewe. Assi tant Commi ione!'

N.), CrawslJawbooth (A. arid X . ), and Rochdale LA. and N.). The inspection of a few units could not possibly be carrieu out for unavoidable reasons, and in other instances owing to the l'eCellt formation of the Di\-isions. I am joined by my Di 'trict Staff in expressin rr the view that more il1lpcrtance must be enterLained by all ranks o~ the n~ce.;sity of ~Illplying with Briga110 l'egulatio~s.in attendance at the annual mspectlOn of Corps and Divisions. I am posltlve disappointment will result in the near future when officers and memberi:i of tha

Briaade make application for the Service Medal, and find that their claims are l)a1'red b inelliciency due to ullauthol'izerl ahsencc from this paradc. Y1 would here be rr I-ave to rcconl my illdelJtelllless to the memlJen-, of my District Staif for the eflici~nt alld. pain taking manner in which they have recorded their rell1arks on the inspections carried out l)y them. I shall take care that the attention of oUicers ill charge of Corps allfl Divisions shall l)c called to the observations eontaiued ill their reports. 1 have the greatest satisfaction ill expn·ssillg the opinion that on the who~e marked iml~rovClnellt perv:ldes all .ran~, ' , and auyal'l1est desire exists to carry out Ungarle RegulatIOns, the result of which IS that ~ o. IV. District is ill a 1ll0 ·t satisfactory conrlitioll , with respect to increased cfficiency amI aeneral smartness. o I had the llonour of ltttcuJing you as Cilief Comlllissioner of the Brigarle uurilJg your inspection of the 1\ orth-east Lancashire Corps and Vi visions at .Jlanchc:ter on the 29th Juue. In the remarks ac1dre 'scd to the pandc you were good. enough to exprfss yom approval of all you had seen. On the 21st 'eptelllher I reviel\'eJ the.

There have been frequent occasions when the members have been able to afford relief in accidents of a minor cha.racter and have a sis ted in the removal ot the sick and injured. I n two serious accidents-at the Limestone Qllanies and at the Paper Works- they rendered efficient and much appreciated aid to the injured, conveying them to the hospital distant 1~ miles. In the Furness District Competition a squad from this Division secured th e second prize.

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY C01\IMI

10 JER.

SIR, I have the honour to submit my Anllual Report for No . V. District for the year ending eptember, 1901. Brigade work ha . b.e~n carrie.d on wit~l .il.1Cl'ea ed activity and interest in the existing Corps an~l DlnsIOns, ;\'h11e .new DIV1 lOllS haye he.en forllled or arc in the conrse of formatIOn at the followrng places, un mely: h.. err-Stuart, Wirkswol'th )Ian field, North Linusey, utton, Plea Ie.)', Otley, Redgroyes, Batley Dolsover' "roolley, Londham, winton, Brighou e, 0 sett, IIeekmondwike, Barn l~y Harpu{' Hill, Burley, Kirkstall and Di ·biet. ' .N early all the Corps and Di vi ions in my rli trict haye been inspected d Ul'ill(] the year, either by lllyself or my Assi tant-Commi siOller, 1111'. Malkin, to WhOll~ my thanks are agl1in due for the very energetic manner ill which he has perform6d his dntie . The cilll for Volunteers for South Africa, and for Illell to serve with the R.A.M.O., has again entailed a great amount of extra work anll correspondence. In reoponse to the call for the formation of Bearer Companies, I am glad to report to you the forma. tion of an excellent company at ShelJield, and I have little doubt that other companies could oe formed if required. Most useful public work has beeu performed by the (lifi'erent Corps and Divisions particulars of which will be seen in their Report \"hieh are appended. The adoptio~ of the Brigade uniform continues to extend, and the recent alterations ill it have given the greate t satisfaction. I "" I regret that although repeated applications have lJeen made, no report has been recei ved from Buddersfield or Gainsborough. I havc the honour to be, iI', Your olleclient Servant,

C. WARDELL, Km'ght of Gi'Ctce oj the Grdel' of St. John, D cputy-Co1nmissionel', No. V. District. STU ART

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY OOJ\HIISSIONER.

SIR,

ABSTRACT OF OORPS AND DIVJSIOKS.

15 , AXL.I.13Y Ro.I.D, H 'LL, 30th OCtobC1', 1901.

I have the honour to report on the "'ork dOlle ;n this District during the pa t year. On 15th, 1 th, and 24th June I ill pectecl the clilrel'ent Divi"ions of th(> Hull Corps. On the re pectii'e occa ion ' there " 'as a fair 1Il11 tel', though not 0 (foou as in previous year. I regret this a I took the DiyisiolJ epara tely tllis year, in ~rder to enable them the better tollow their capa biJitie~ . On a general review of the ul'ill and ,york done, J cannot ay that there Wfl allY letlogl essioll, 1J11t I al1l11nablt to 'ay that I noticed uch an impro\'emellt as I had anticipated. ome of the stretcher drill ",as very good, but thi was" ayeraged " by slackness in other respect.·. As regard the \\~ithel'n la Divi ion, I }lad ananged to yi it and inspect it, but at the last moment I was prevented atteEding. From oth er sources of inform'ltion, ho,,"ever, I know that the drills are carried out, a11ll a fair standard of efticiency is maintained . On 26th -'eptem bel' I had a conference ,\ ith the ne,\'ly-formed Retton.le-Hole Dirisiol1, and fro111 t11e enthu iaSlll 'hown lJY the newly cll1'olled ofiicers andmenlbers I baye great hopes that this Diyision will prove of service in its district, and be the forerunner of others in the neighbourhood. On 27th eptemoer J ill pected the work of the 'outh hields Nursing Division, and was much pleased with what I saw. Dr. Orease (Holl. Surgeon ) and Mrs. Crease (Lady Superintendent) take a lively intere tin thi. Division, which only needs more members to make)ts u cIul infiuence powerfully felt in outh hields. The Division has a hau e for its stores, and i well :fitted out with all nursing acce ories, and from the reports which I read, I judge that this materiel is in con tant and beneficial llse. I n my opinion thi Diyi ion i doing a real and goot! work in its town, From interviews which I had I also anticipatE; that ere l0Dg there will be a outh Shields Police Ambulance Diyi ion. On 2 th eptelll bel' I in pected the Low Fell Division. I ·was well pleased with the first aid work and drill I saw; Dob, ith:tanding that on account of illness the Superintendent had been unable to devote his usual energy to it. Knowing the large amount of ambulance work done by Mr. Harrison, which is not seen, I feel I am only performing a duty in bringing him to yoUI' notice, as one of the best ambulance men in the District. 11 ne,,, Division has been formed at Beverley with Dr. Savege as Hon. Surgeon, and Mr. Gates as Fir t Officer, but its formation i, too recent for it to ba,e any history this year. This also applies to the new Eastel'11 Nursing Division, Hull Corps. I am pleased in this Report to bear testimony to the goorl servicc rendered by the majority of the Ron . " urgeons in this District. I also wish to express my thanks to the various Officers for their courtesy to me personally, and for the satis~actory manner in ·which arrangements are made for canying out the diflerent inspectIOns .. The Annual Brigarle Conference was held in HuH on 12th and 13th July, but It was a matter of sore regret that it was so sparsely attended. This was felt all the more as the Mayor of tbe city had made special Ilre} larations to entertain the officers attending, and in addition considerable trouble had been taken by the local Committee in preparing tG give a hearty and hospitable welcome to the Conference.

"To remember tlu w01'ds of the Lord Jesus, lLOw He said, It is mon blessed to give than to receive. "-ACTS xxi., 35.

HOSE strange sacred wars known as the Crusades were the most conspicuous outcome of the marvellous and general revival of religion in the eleventh century of our era. The recovery of the Holy Land was constantly at the heart of a brave and somewhat superstitious nobility, and every knight at his creation pledged himself as occasion should arise to support that holy cause-" For how could the noble Christian knight endure the insults of the Pagan to his Saviour and his God, or brook the galling shame that the place of his Redeemer's birth and death should be trampled by the scoffer, the denier of his Divinity? . To what uses could wealth be so fitly devoted as to the rescue of Christ's sepulchre from the infidel? To what more splendid martyrdom could the valiant soldier aspire than to death in the fields which Christ had watered with His own blood? " Out of these strange sacred wars, wars long drawn out -they lasted some two centuries-sprang the conception and practice of Chivalry, a new virtue, hardly defined by the first teachers of Christianity. Let me paint in a few nervous sentences this beautiful virtue. Chivalry includes the protection of the weak, the succouring and helping the sick. It enjoins, does the perfect idea of chivalry, an active sense of justice, an ardent indignation against wrong, the prevention or redress of injury, a courteous behaviour towards the foe; the high sense of honour, generosity, self-sacrifice, self-devotion for others. This chivalry, at once the parent and the child of the Crusades, was not exhausted in these famous wars, its spirit has left behind it a yet more valuable

successor. The character of a knight, to use the strikin g language of a somewhat cold but admirable historian, graduall subsided in that of gentleman, and the one distingUishe~ European society in the seventeenth and following centuries as much as the other did in the twelfth and thirteenth-it lived in the cavaliers of Charles I., and it lives in the members of Our famous order to-day, just as it did hundreds of years ago in the Knights of St. John and the Temple, who followed the banners of Godfrey de Bouillon and Richard of the Lion Heart. I instance these-the knights of St. John and the Temple, for these great orders were the most conspicuous examples-the very embodiment so to speak of the new beautiful virtue of chivalry, that child of the Crusades. The beginning of the Hospitallers and the Templars whose fame and name were soon to be world-wide was strangely humble and still. The Hospitallers at first were a band of Italian merchants of Amalfi, who founded and served a Pilgrims' Hospital at Jerusalem. Troublous times in the East however made all pilgrimage to the holy scenes in Palestine at first dangerous, then well-nigh impossible. Then the brothers of the Hospital became of necessity armed defenders of the wanderers to the holy places, and watched over their goings out and comings in. They were presently joined by a few poor French knights who called themselves after the Temple and who bound themselves with a solemn undertaking to protect the Western pilgrims;-gradually in the Western countries the spirit which inspired the Hospitaller and the Templar suggested the first Crusade, when a mighty host undertook the rescue and protection of the Holy Sepulchre and the other sacred scenes of the Life of the Redeemer. In these armies of the Crusaders the little bands of Hospitallers and Templars soon won a foremost place. The small and distinguished company of Brothers became known as the bravest, the best trained, the most experienced soldiers in the world ;-armed, horsed, accoutred in the most splendid and most perfect fashion of the times, isolated from all ties and interests with the rest of mankind, ready at the bidding of the Grand Masters to embark on any service however dangerous and difficult, which might further the aims and objects of the Crusade.

Into these "ranks pressed not a few of the bravest and most · t' 1'shed among the European noble and princely houses. . dIS mg u Long before the twelfth century had run Its course the Hospitaller and the Templar were. the noblest and most perfect representatives of the new-born chIvalry of the West. This is no place to dwell on the brilliant many-coloured story of the Crusades. It has been told and re-told not once or twice-its successes and its failures, its glory and its suffering. It will ever be at once of all stories the most romantic, the most soul-stirring, and the most pathetic. The first chapter of the story was closed after some two hundred years of brilliant effort and chivalrous achievement, by the greatest and most awful judicial crime chronicled in Christian story, when Philip the Fair, King of France, and Bernard de Got, known as Pope Clement V., a wicked king and an infamous Pope, dissolved the great Templar Order. The chronicle of their fall is hideous with its details of cruel torture, relentless imprisonment, unjust condemnation, followed by the judicial murder of the Grand Master and the noblest knights of the glorious Temple Brotherhood who for their long and splendid services to Christendom received (( the reward which at other times as well as those, has been held fitting by human justice for the earth's great ones, and they passed away in smoke and flame to their rest." It seems strange how the Hospitaller escaped the cruel doom of the Templar. In the providence of God the Hospitaller was reserved for a yet nobler service-but I must hurry on with my brief sketch. The broad outlines of the story are now well known. When Palestine as a Western possession was finally given up by Europe, the knights of St. John conquered for themselves Rhodes, and for some two centuries the Hospitaller garrison in the solitary Mediterranean island played the part of sentinel; more than sentinel-Rhodes was the unconquerable outpost of Christendom in the East. When at last overwhelmed by numbers Rhodes fell, the Emperor Charles V. placed the thinned ranks of the great Order in Malta, knowing well that in the knights of St. John, Europe possessed a gallant company of the bravest of the brave, a match for the still threatening armaments

8 of the Turks. The story of Malta nobly justified the choice of Charles V. The final fall and arbitrary suppression of the Order by Napoleon a little more than a century ago closes the splendid military record-but their soldier's work was done-for the East was no longer a threat and a danger to the West. The English knights of St. John ceased to exist in the Reformation upheaval. Under Henry VIII. much was destroyed. Tares and wheat were uprooted, ruthlessly without thought often selfishly. Among many ancient foundations which wer~ destroyed the name of our Order is found. It enjoyed a brief revival under Mary, but went under when Elizabeth was Queen, and for some two hundred years was forgotten among us. Our own day and time has witnessed its revival. It has been no mere mediceval renaissance, dear to the antiquarian, the historian, the dilettante lover of the picturesque, and only to these. It has once more sprang into existence, adorned it is true with all the ancient pageantry of the age of chivalry-but instinct with new and vigorous life. It has assumed the cross and ornaments, it wears the titles of the age of Godfrey de Bouillon and Richard Coeur de Lion. But with the cross and the ornaments and the time-honoured titles of its golden age of world-wide influence and knightly renown it has taken up anew the beautiful work which the Amalfi founders first hammered out in honour of their Divine Lord, and in love to their poor sick brothers and sisters, in the far back eleventh century. Once more the Brotherhood of St. John, as represented by the English knights of the Order, owns a Hospital in the city where their Redeemer lived and taught and died, a right noble Foundation devoted to the relief of those sad diseases of the eye too common in Eastern countries: it is furnished with all the appliances with which modern science relieves and often cures these painful distressing maladies, and skilled trained surgeons and nurses in this blessed Hospice annually rescue large numbers of people in and around Jerusalem from actual or impending blindness. In the past year more than twentythree thousand sufferers sought and obtained relief, and in many cases cure, in this beautiful imitation of the ancient Amalfi Hospital. Only a very few months ago the Anglican Bishop in Jerusalem bore his simple eloquent testimony to the noble and

9 beautiful work accomplished by the Christ-loved Foundation. He spoke of it as known and trusted not only in the City of Jerusalem-of its fame, which. has spread ~ar a~d wide th~ough he Syrian counties. "Its kmdly offices, wntes the Blshop, ~ are shewn not only to Christians of every race and clime, but re equally shared by the Jew and the Mahomedan, and thus ~ its restless work and generous kindness it is playing the part or the truest Christian Mission." But though as a definite undertaking the great Hospital at Jerusalem is at once beautiful and admirable, a yet more farreaching work has been carried out in England, a work which has given unspeakable relief to uncounted thousands of sufferers. In the busy, crowded, now brilliant, now squalid life of our land with its well-nigh forty million dwellers-few guess the cruel sufferings endured by victims of the countless sudden accidents to toilers in our vast industries, in the mines, in factories, on our great railway systems. Before skilled surgical aid can be obtained, the maimed victims have to be carried often a considerable distance with their wounds and fractured limbs uncared for. Tenderly and skilfully to remove these poor sufferers to the Hospital, and to bind up their often agonising hurts is the work of the Ambulance Association of "our Order." Untold suffering is thus mitigated, and the chance of eventual cure enormously increased. Very briefly to summarise this little known but most blessed work:The St. John Ambulance Association is a wide-spread and ever increasing union of workers, and has its branches and classes in all parts of the United Kingdom, India, the Colonies, and in fact the whole of the British Dominions beyond the seas, and occasionally holds classes even in countries belonging to other Powers. These workers have passed examinations and received certificates of efficiency in first aid to the injured, in the home nursing of the sick, and in hygiene. Through this organization large quantities of ambulance material have been circulated, and at many of the centres horsed ambulance wagons and wheeled transport for the conveyance of the sick and injured have been provided. Some half-a-million persons have passed through the classes of the Ambulance Department

of the Order, and out of these trained and certificated men and women, some 12,000 men and 2000 , women have voluntarily come forward, and are formed . t a disciplined body known as the St. J ohn Ambul:~ 0 Brigade, which can be mobilised at any moment in ord~~ that the services of the men as Hospital Orderlies and Sick Bearers, and of the women as Nursing Sisters, miO'ht be utilized. The Brigade is primarily destined for home s~rvice, and does the most. valuable work on occasions when ther e are great c~ow ds I.n the streets of. London and other large towns, but Its servIces are also avaIlable in time of war, for voluntary offers of service in Foreign Countries are gladly accepted. During the South African War more than 2,000 members of this Brigade served both at the scene of hostilities, and on board the Hospital Ships cc Princess of Wales" and" Maine"; and it is in loving memory of some sixty or seventy of these, who in the performance of this work in the war have succumbed to disease, that the tablet just unveiled by His Royal Highness the Grand Prior of the Order has been erected. I t is needless to call attention to the humanitarian , no less than the patriotic, conduct of these men; and the Military Authorities have again shown their deep sense of the utility of the Brigade by asking the Order to arrange for a nucleus of Bearer Companies to be kept in readiness at the Head-quarters of the various Military Districts and similar arrangements are in process of completion with the Admiralty officials, in order that in a great naval war, the men of the Royal Navy may, in the same manner experience the devoted care and attention which has been so highly appreciated by General and other Officers in the Boer War, who have referred in the highest terms to the able ministrations of these true Hospitallers. Would that time allowed me to dwell on other pieces of true Hospitaller work undertaken by the Brotherhood of St. John of Jerusalem, such as the Almoner's Department, which helps to restore to strength and health again poor convalescents; or the Award by the King and the Chapter, of medals and highlyprized diplomas of honour to those who bravely risk their lives

for others.

But I have painted in figures enough to complete

my picture. The restored Brotherhood of the once world-famous Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem is a st~iking a.nd accurate revival of one of the most picturesque and mfluentlal groups of the most orgeous and brilliant society the world has ever seen-the ;ociety which lives in the stirring stanzas of the Roman de Rou, along the glowing lilts of Trouvere and Troubadeur. It is pictured in the brightly coloured pages of Froissart and Monstrelet; we seem, with the old ornaments and quaint symbols and half-forgotten titles of honour, to live again in the Courts of the Plantagenets, in the ranks of the chivalrous Crusaders. Our age delights in these strange romantic revivals of a far back time when chivalry was still young, and its fair ideals a new thing in a rough and war-worn world. But our Brotherhood of the old Hospitallers of St. John has aroused something more than this. In its quiet work and lofty aims it has awaked, with the old ornaments and time-honoured titles, the ancient spirit of unselfish love for others, of tenderness and care for suffering, of devoted patriotism, regardless of kinship or race or creed, the Brotherhood of St. John, are true followers of the first group of noble chivalrous founders of the old pilgrim Hospice in the sacred desecrated city; true imitators of the Divine author of the story of the good Samaritan. Our Order has a splendid future in front of it. I hear voices faintly sounding in the present generation, and in generations yet to come I seem to listen to the voices growing louder and more distinct-voices of blessing and of thankfulness proceeding from many and many a sufferer, thanking God and His dear Son for the kindly work and tender offices of the restored Order of St. John of Jerusalem.

(bez'ng the A mbulalzce D epartment oj tIle Order.) WHEN Committees of Local Centres desire to recommend members of the medical staff or others for some recognition of their services from the Chapter of the Order of St. John, the following is the procedure :_ A formal resolution to this effect should be drawn up, and notice given at one meeting of the Local Committee, the same being brought forward at the next Committee meeting following, and having been duly proposed, seconded and carried unanz'mous!y, a copy, signed and certified as correct by the Chairman and the local Honorary Secretary, and countersigned by the President of the Centre, should be forwarded to the Chief Secretary of the St. John Ambulance Association, accompanied by a certified detailed record of the services rendered. The Chief Secretary will submit the sa me to the Committee, and if the recommendation be approved, it will be laid before the Council and Chapter of the Order. All __being satisfactory, the candidate will be nominated at one Chapter, and if then approved by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, Grand . pri.or of the Order, the name will be brought forward for selection at another Chapter, when, if passed, it will be again submitted to His Royal Highness, and afterwards to His Majesty the King, for final sanction. The services for which such recommendation may be asked arehaving acted as lecturer gratuitously to a large number of classes, or having taken a very acti\'e part in the organisation and extension of ambulance work in the Centre or District. As a general rule the qualifying period for such recognition should be not less than ten years' continuous work. N oTE.-Many members of the" St. John Ambulance Association" (i.e. don?l's of £5 and annual subscribers of 5 s . and upwards), certificated pupIls, members of its local Committees and officials at its Centres, are under the erroneous impression that they are thereby constituted M,embers or Associates of the Order of St. John. No individual is enbtled to describe himself (or herself) as a member or associate of the Order unless he (or she) has fulfilled the conditions detailed in the Statut~sl and has received as credentials from the Secretary-General an officla notification of election and a diploma.

A new. and further improved pattern under-carriage has recently been introduced, havmg the two legs on each side coupled, so that when one is raised or lowered that on the same side at the other end of the under-carriage is also raised or lowered. This pattern is recommended with confidence, as the coupling is found to materially simplify the handling of a litter, owing to the fact that it gives ~o one ~an complete control of the four legs from either end. The mechanism IS unavOldably somewhat more elaborate than in the ordinary pattern, but with reasonable care it is not likely to get out of order. The extra cost is £1

The men for the several Bearer Companies will be selected by the Deputy Commissioners of the Districts in which the Head Quarters of the Companies are situated. Only such men will be chosen as fulfil the requirements mentioned hereafter in para. 6, and on selection they will be required to sign a declaration of' their acceptance of the conditions of service laid down in para. 7.

He will have nothing to do with the care of equipment or clothing. The sum of £10 will be allowed annually for stationery and the postage of returns and other correspondence, but the Brigade and Army Forms required to be used will be provided free from Brigade Head Quarters. Special instructions will be issued to the Sergeant-Major of each Company after appointment.

Total 58 all ranks. 9. On the formation of a Company, noncommissioned officers above the rank of Corporal will be selected from Sergeants, but Ambulance Officers will be allowed to volunteer to serve as Sergeant-Majors or Staff Sergeants, provided they resign their rank of Officer for the purpose, in which case they may be borne on the strength of their Oorps or Division as Sergeants in excess of the establishment. Until the rank of Curporal has become established in the Brigade, Oorporals will be selected from Privates. It is to be clearly understood that the rank in a Bearer Company for which a member of the Brigade is selected will not in any way affect his rank in the Brigade. When a vacancy occurs in the noncommissioned ranks of a Bearer Company, it should, whenever possible; be filled by a promotion within the Company.

11. (u,) On receipt of this Brigade Order, Superintendents of all Divisions and Oorps in the Metropolitan District or within a distance of 25 miles from Northampton, Bolton, Sheffield and Preston, will with the least possible delay assemble their men, read and explain the Order from para. 1 to para. 11 (a) inclusive, and invite all their men who after due consideration wish to volunteer for the service to attend a special parade to be held within fourteen days of the reading of the Order. The men should be cautioned not to undertake this service lightly. It should be impressed upon them that, in volunteering to be enrolled in a Bearer Company, they are guaranteeing that they can and will turn out at any time in the defence of their country, or if the Company should be mobilized in time of peace, as for a camp of exercise. Men in employment should therefore consult their employers before undertaking this important national duty. (b) When the parade is held, the Senior Honorary Surgeon and the Superintendent, after eatisfying themselves that the volunteers thoroughly underRtand the conditions of service, will select such of them as they consider suitable, and, after the selected men have been measured for height and found medically fit, their names will be entered in Brigade Form B?, which will then be forwarded, in duplicate, to the Deputy Commissioner of the District.

.r~J. On

receipt of thi Fo~·m. from ~he several Corps and DIVI lOns, the Deputy OommlsslOner WIll select the numb £ men required from each (a) as enrolled men and (b) as m:r? rese~'ve~ will return one copy to each ~uperintendent concer~e~ speClfymg what rank has been assIgned to each accept d volunteer, and will direct him to submit at once the Declarati~n (BZC.) of each man accepted as ~n ~nrolled man, together with the Measurement Form (!3i~: ), whICh IS to show the measurements of all the enrolled men of his Oorps or Division. If the Deputy Oommissioner thinks fit, he will order that these forIDS be sent direct to the Sergeant-Major. (d) On receipt of the Declarations and Measurement Forms the Deputy Oommissioner .will send them to the Sergeant-Majo~ of the Oompany, who WIll thereupon prepare, in triplicate a Nominal Roll of the Oompany (!34,c-) and the Size Rolls ~nd Requisitions (Army FOl'ms H. 1100, 1101, 1125, &c.) which are required, also in triplicate, for submission to the General Officer commanding the Military District to which the Company belongs. Of the Nomina.l Rolls, the Sergean~-~ajor will ret~in one copy and send two to the Deputy OommlsslOner, who WIll sign and forward one to the Ohief Commissioner; the whole of the Size Rolls and Requisitions, together with the Declarations and Measurement Forms, will be sent to the Chief Oommissioner. A copy of the Size Rolls and Requisition~ should be kept by the SergeantMajor for reference.

(e) Whenever a casualty occurs (e.g., if an enrolled man dies, leaves the Division, becomes inefficient or unable to serve), the Superintendent of the Oorps or Division concerned will at once report it to the Deputy Oommissioner, and at the same time inform the Sergeant-Major. The Deputy Oommissioner (or the Sergeant-Major, if authorized by him) will select a man in reserve to fill the vacancy, and call for his Declaration and Measurement Form. As soon as the replacement has been made, the circumstance will be reported to the Ohief Oommissioner, and the new Declaration and Measurement Form will be Eent to him at the same time, together with a statement of all the changes, if any, that are required to be made in the Size Rolls and Requisitions in consequence of the change of men. (f) Superintendents of Oorps and Divisions must exercise the greatest care in measuring the men and filling in the measureIf, after ments for clothing in the Measurement Forms. enrolment, any man changes materially in size, a fresh measurement should be taken, and a Form B(? should be sent to the Sergeant-Major. It should be borne in mind that the stock of clothing for each man, underclothing and boots as well as uniform, which will be kept at the depot of the

Company in readiness for ~obilization, will be in strict accordance with the Size Rolls complIed from the Measurement Forms, and, if these are inaccurate, the man cannot be clothed from any other source. 12. Superintendents are request~d to bear in ,mind that the Sergeant-Majors of Bearer COI?-pames ~ol~ very Important a~d responsible positions, and t~e ChIef OommlsslOner confide?tl~ relIes upon their assisting them In every way to carry out tb.elr .dIfficult duties. Every communication from the Sergean~-MaJor of a Bearer Company regarding men of the Oompany IS to be considered and acted upon as though it were a direct order from the Deputy Oommissioner. 13. In addition to keeping up the full strength of the Companies, Deputy Oommiss~~ners will be good enough to have at all times a reserve of qualIfied volunteers ready at any moment to fill up casualties among the noncommissioned officers and to the extent of at least twenty-five per cent. of the privates. 14. All correspondence with the Military Authorities regarding the Bearer Oompanies will be condu.ct~d by the Oh.ief. Oo~ missioner only, but the Deputy OommlsslOners of Dlstncts In which Companies may be formed are requested to attend the Annual Inspection of the Companies, and to hand them over to the Principal Medical Officer or other inspecting Officer, and similarly in case of mobilization. If unable to attend, they will be good enough to appoint an Ambulance Officer of superior rank to perform that duty.

B.O. 29.

Relative Rank of Dictrict Staff Officers.

With reference to B.O. 6, it is to be under tood that a Di trict Chief Superintendent will always take precedence of his District Superintendent-Secretary, Superintendent of Stores, or Superintendent-Treasurer. The latter three officers will rank among themselves in the order shown above if appointed on the same date, or according to the date of their first appointment to the District Staff if they are not appointed on the same date, or if they subsequently change appointment. Whatever their relative rank may be, they will invariably be shown in the above order for the sake of uniformity.

B.O. 30. Periodical Returns. In. order to reduce the number of returns required to be fu~mshed by Corps and Divisions, !3l.: (Quarterly Return of Dnlls) and ~t (Quarterly Return of Variations) will in future be furnished half-yearly, instead of quarterly.

B.O. 46.-Brigade Bearer Companies. Alteration of Conditions of Service. The Secretary of State for ,Yar has decided, and it is hereby notified, that the proposed Brigade Bearer Oompanies will not be called out unless the Army Oorps to which they are allotted are mobilized for the defence of this country in case of a national emergency. The only occasion, therefore, on which the men will necessarily have to assemble in time of peace is the day of annual inspection of the Oompany by the Principal Medical Officer of the Military District. Parades for combined drill of the Oompany under the command of the SergeantMajor may be held from time to time with the permission of the Deputy Oommissioner of the District, but attendance at such drills will be voluntary. The men of Bearer Oompanies may volunteer their services for manamvres in time of peace, and if accepted will of course have to enlist in the Royal Army Medical Corps for the period for which they so volunteer, so as to be placed on the footing of soldiers of the Army as regards pay, compensation or pension in case of injury, &c. Superintendents of Corps and Divisions in the Metropolitan District, and within a distance of 25 miles from Northampton, Bolton, Sheffield and Preston, will bring this Order to the notice of all ranks as soon as practicable. In accordance with the above, the following alterations are to be made in all copies of B.O. 27, dated 1st January, 1901:Para. 7 (a), strike out the words either in tim"e of peace OJ' u'a1·. Para. 7 (c), strike out the words whether in time of peace 01' war . . P,ara. 1] (a), strike out the words 01' if the Company should be mobilized ~n t~me

of peace, as for a camp of exercise.

The following alterations of figures are to be made in para. 6 of the same Brigade Order :-The proportion of married men may be as high as 20 per cent instead of 10 per cent., and the minimum height of men may be 5 ft. 4 in. (without boots) instead of 5 ft. 6 in. as stated in the Order. 800 .8, 0 1.

Medal to be granted by the Order of St. John for Service in connection with the War in South Africa.

Applications to be noted for the grant of this medal having been made by members of the Brigade on the ground of their having been on active military service in South Africa during the present war, but not as members of the Brigade, it is notified that the only members of the Brigade who are eligible for the medal, in respect of service in the field in South Africa, are officers and men who were duly approved for active service by the Chief Commissioner, and actually served as men of the Brigade. Applications are not to be made for this medal, as it will be issued:in due course to all who are entitled to it.

B.O. 57.

Enlistment in the Royal Army Medical Corps.

The Director-General, Army Medical Service, has intimated that hospital orderlies are still sorely needed for service in South Africa, and that the immediate assistance of the Brigade to the extent of 200 men would be very highly valued. Th e Chief Commissioner therefore considers it to be his duty to bring the needs of the country to the knowledge of all ranks in the Brigade, and he trusts that the Officers will do their utmost to facilitate the enlistment under B.O. 44 and B.O. 48 of as many men as may be 'willing to volunteer their services. There can be no doubt that the difficulties which have arisen in the settlement of the accounts of many of the men who served under the original system of civil contract, and served with such credit to themselves and to the Brigade, were almost entirely due to the fact that they were serving under exceptional conditions; and the following statement is published in order that there may be no misapprehension as to. the great advantages of temporary enlistment in the Royal Army MedIcal Corps, as compared with the contract system formerly in vogue.

1. U nito.I'm. The men now receive a co mplete free kit, includin underclothIng. g ~. Separation allowance. Married men are entitled to this allow ance . f amI'1'les. for t hell' 3. Allotments .and . remi.ttances. The arrangements for these aments are much simplIfied If the men are regularly enlisted. p y 4. ~ompensation f?I~ inj uries or di,sease, invaliding, &c. The cases of enhsted men reqlllrlllg compensatlOn, &c., are now decided on definite scale, without delay, whereas on the contract system each cas: had to be considered on its own merits, the amount O'ranted was uncertain, and delay was inevitable. :s 5, Compassionate allowance or pensions to widows, and reception of children into Governm~~t school~. In all these cases definite rules exist as regards the famlhes of enlIsted men, whereas there are endless difficulties in attempting to secure the same advantages for the family of an unenlisted man. 6. Discharges .. Und,er the contract syste,m a man is discharged from the day he lands m tIllS country. If too III to proceed to his home authority has been grant~d for admission into a military hospital, but the man is not really entItled to pay, On the other hand, an enlisted man has a right to remain in hospital until he recovers or is invalided and he draws his pay there. If invalided, he gets a pension and if discharged receives a proper parchment discharge recording his ~ervices, qualifications, campaigns, medals and character, instead of the mere certifica'G e of character hitherto granted. 7, 'Var gratuity. Enlisted men are entitled to this as well as to a gratuity of £5, whereas the man serving on contract was only entitled to a month's pay as gratuity at the end of 6 months' service. An enlisted man, if unfortunately invalided at an early date in his service, or if the war terminated before the expiration of the year's service, would receive his gratuity without question. 8. Facilities are given for the families of married solliiers to join them in South Africa, should they desire to remain in the country. 9. Men of the Brigade who enlist under B.O. ±±, lio not lose their identity as members of the Brigade. They are distinguished by wearing the Brigade badge on their R. A.1I.C. uuiform, and in case of their returning to Brigade service, the time passed in the army counts towards Brigade Service Badges and Service Medal. 10. In case an enlisted Brigade man wishes to remain in the R.A.M.Corps, on termination of the period of his enlistment, his service in the army counts, and he is at all times eligible for promotion for distinguished conduct. 11. As regards pay, every en listed man certainly begins his service with the pay of a 2nd grade orderly, whether he has a nursing certificate or not, but the slight difference between the rate of pay of a 1st and 2nd grade orderly, is more than compensated by the advantages named above. Superintendents of all Corps and Divisions will be good enough to bring this Brigade Order to the notice of all under their charge, at a general parade, with the least possible delay.

War Medals and Medal Ribbons. As enquiries regarding th~ medals to which they are entitled are constantly being made at BrIgade Hea.d Quarters by me.n ':rho have returned from service in I outh Africa, and as several applIcatIOns haye been received from Corps and Divisions requesting the issue of medals at short notice in order that the men may have them presented to them by perso~s unconnected with the Brigade, it i notified that the medals of men who served under the ,Val' Office cannot be procured out of turn. As soon as they are received a.t Brigade Head Quarters, from Government, they will be handed over to the Deputy Commissioners of Districts, in order to be presented in such public mann~r as they may consider desirable. The medals of men who served 111 private hospitals, such as the Portland and Imperial Yeomanry Hospitals, will not be issued through the Brigade, but will be forwarded by the military authorities to the providers of those hospitals, for distribution in such manner as they may think fit. Ribbon has been issued to all Corps and Divisions for the number of returned men reported by • l1perintendents, in compliance with B.O. 45 of June 15th last. If Snperintendents will now furnish further returns, showing the number of men who have rejoined their Corps or Divisions since the date of the previous return, steps will be taken to procure ribbon for them at the rate of two inches per man.

General Regulations. Important Changes. As many important changes have been made in the General Regulations of 1st January, 1902, all officers without exception are reqne?ued to read them carefully from beginning to end. It IS the duty of every officer of th e Brigade to make himself or herself thoroughly acquainteu with the General R egulatiolls and to see that the duties of all ranks under his or her command are carried out in strict eonformity therewith. Further, officers should read the Briaade Orders that are sent from tim~ to time to their Oorps or Divisionso and if necessary correct their COpI~S of. the. General Regulations accordingly, and they should conSIder It theIr dnty to exvlain to their men or nursing sisters any orders that may specially affect them. Special attention is directed to the following paragraphs :Para. 23. Annual re-examination in first aid of all ranks. Para. 24. Matters to be specially enquired into and reported upon at the annual inspections.

Para. 27. Use ofthe device of the Brigade on letter paper, &c. . Para. 34. Taking part as mem bers of the Brigade in pu blic procesSIOns or demonstrations, except on actual Brigade duty, forbidden.

B.D. 71. Arm Badges. As complaints are frequ ently made that the cloth Arm Badges hitherto generally worn by members of Ambulance and N ursinC1 Di\'isi ons are unsatisfactory in wear, and they have been found absolLl~E'ly useless on active service, it is notified that the metal Arm Badge No. 2, with the name or initials of the Division or Corp:; Oll the scroll beneath the badge, can be worn illl place of the cloth badge. Before th ese metal badges are ordered, the proposed name or initials of the Corps or Division to be stamped on the scroll must be submitted for sanction.

B. O. 72.

Uniform. Supply and Purchase of. It is to be clearly understood that articles of uniform are not supplied from Brigade Head-quarters, and that 110 persons whatever are or can be appointed contractor to the St. John Ambulance Brigade. As distinctly stated in the ExplanatOl y Instructions is ued to all Divisions on formation, "it is by no means necessary that the clothing should be obtained from any particular maker." All brigade badges and buttons, however, can only be purchasecl from the Stores D epartment, St. John's Gate. ,Yhile it is open to Corps and Divisions to procLU'e their uniforms and eqnipment from any maker that they may prefer, provicled that they are in strict accordance with the sealecl patterns kept for inspection and guidance at St. John's Gate, it is a distinct aclyantage to some units to be able to procure their uniform, &c.) from makers who are accustomed to the requirements of the Brigade, and this is especially the case with regard to belts, pouches, and field caps, which are seldom cut correctly by makers who have not had experience in this branch of tailoring. In order to assist provinr.ial Corps and Divisions to secure uniformity of pattern, and to obtain articles at a moderaLe price, the Stores D epartment has made arrangements for the supply of the browll leather belts, belt furni ture, field caps, white cloth piping, and white metal buttons, recently anthorized, at the rates mentioned below. In selecting metal buttons and arm badges it should be horne in mind that whereas silver (electro) plated articles look best at first, they will not stand unlimited cleaning; on the other hand, German silver articles are of the sl!tme material throughout. Enquiries regarding the purchase of articles of uniform that may be required can be adJressed to the Stores Department, St. J ohn Ambulance Association, St. John's Gate.

B.O. 73.

Sergeants. Special Promotion to the grade of 1st Class. As an iuducement, to diligent performance of duties, and in recognition of exceptionally good service, Sergeants may be specially recommendecl by DepuLy Commissioners for promotion to the grade ot 1st Olass Sergeant. J 0 Sergeant will be eligible for this distinction who has not served in that rank for the five preceding years and has not been efficient as detined in the Geueral Regulations in each of those years. It is to be clearly understood that this promotion cannot be claimed as a right on the ground of mere length or nature of service. It will only be allowed in special cases and each case will be considered on its own merits. 1st Olass Sergeants thus promoted will be entitled to wear the uniform of the rank.

The followinO'modifications of B.O. 74, are to be observed, and Superintendent; of Oorps and Divisions will be good enough to ensure their being understood by all Officers and other members who have been or may be selected for duty on the 27th June.

1. Selected Officers can be provided with sleeping accommodation in temporary barracks on exact~y the sam~ co.nditions as ~aic1 down for men in B. O. 74, and each Officer so sleepmg m barracks wIll be expected to take his meals (i.e., he will have to pay for them, as explained below) in the same way as has been provided for the men. Any extras that may be required will have to be paid for, if they can be provided, at tariff rates; but it is b elieved that th e meals will be found to be ample and of good quality. 2. Knives, forks and spoons need not be brought by men, as it has been arranged that they shall be provided by the contractors. 3. The full number of meals (five) described in B.O. 74, will be provided for every member of the Brigade who sleeps in barracks, and for this purpose coupons will be issued to each selected man (and Officer who elects to sleep in barracks), and no refund can be made on account of meals which may not be eaten. 4. As soon as Superintendents have been informed by their Deputy Oommissioners how many men (and Officers who elect to sleep in barracks) of their respective Divisions and Oorps have been accepted, they must without delay remit to Brigade Head-quarters (addressed to the Chief OommiSiiione?) a roll showing the names and rank of each man (and Officer who elects to sleep in barracks), together with the amount payable for meals by each member for whom sleeping accommodation is required, viz., 5s. Gd. for the five meals specified in B.O. 74. On receipt of the money the coupons will be at once posted to Superintendents for issue to the men (and Officers).

Membe1'S who are not provided with coupons will not be admitted into barracks.

? All applications and remittances for coupons must be received at BrIgade Head-quarters on or before the 14th June without fail, as, owing to. the enormous demand for provisions during the Ooronation Oeremomes, contractors refuse to attend to any indents that may be sent to them after that date.

Many enquiries having been received from Oorps and Di,isions in the provincial Districts as to whether the memb~rs wh? were disappointed by the abandonment of the Royal ProcessIOn, whIch was to have taken place on the 27th June last, will be allowed to do street duty in London on the 25th instant, the following regulations are issued, subject to any instructions that may be received at Brigade H ead.quarters from the ciyil authorities. 2. As the line of route to be followed on the 25th instant will be several miles shorter than the one selected for the 27th June, fewer men can be employed on ambulance duty; but in order to prevent disappointment to those who had on the previous occasion arranged to do duty in London, every Officer and other member of the Brigade who was actually c£ccepted by hi.' 01' her Depulty Commissioner to do duty on the 27th J~me, cmd f01' 'I.uhO?n a permit to do cl'uty ~cas actually issued, will be allowed to do cluty in London on the 25th instant.

3. Superintendents shoulLl without delay ascertain how many of the members of all ranks who were previously accepted are still desirous of doing duty under the conditions laid down in this Order, and they are required to submit complete nominal rolls to their Deputy Oommissioners, on or before the 15th instant (that is, these rolls must reach the Deputy Oommissioners on that day at latest.) Deputy Oommissioners will be good enough to submit these rolls, if approved by them, or preferably a general roll of selected men of the whole District, not later than the 17th instant (that is, the rolls must reach the Ohief Oommissioner's office on that day at latest.) They will report at the same time how many stretchers and litters will be brought. (See paragraph 6.) Only the Officers, men, and nursing sisters then reported will be allowed to do duty. IOOO.

Officers of all ranks can wear the serge fatigue jacket inst,ead of the frock coat, patrol jacket, or tunic to which they may be entitled but sil~er laced trousers will not be .wurn with the fatigue jacket. ' MedIcal Officers can wear the plam black belt and pouch authorised in B.O. 69 instead of the silver embroidered belt. Belts and brown gloves are not to he worn with the frock coat. A~ it will be impossible to supply first aid material at Ht-'a,1-quarters, surglcal havresacs or sma.ll surglCal hampers fitted with drugs, and an extra supply of sal volatlle, should he brou <Yht; these and stretchers should be in the proportion of one to five l;e1). All available waterbottles s~lOuld be carried, and the men's pouches properly fitted.

MEMORANDUM ON THE

Organization of Units in the British Dominions beyond the Seas. BRIGADE HEAD QUARTERS: ST. JOHN'S GATE, LONDON,

E.C.

18th Novem,ber, 1901.

THE following instructions and suggestions have been drawn up for the guidance of those who may undertake the formation of units of the St. John Ambulance Brigad.e outside the British Isles :l. Before all things it must be borne in mind that the St. J.A. Brigade is established under the auspices of the Order of St. John, and must therefore conform generally to the General Regulations of the Brigade approved by the Grand Prior and Ohapter.

2. Having regard to the distance from Brigade Head Quarters of many places in which units of the Brigade might be formed, and considering the diversity of local conditions) there must be allowed as much freedom of action as possible to the local Brigade authorities, provided that there be such conformity to the fundamental rules of the Brigade, especially as to the maintenance of efficiency of members, as will make it just to the Order of St. John to allow the use of the title" St. John Ambulance Brigade." 3. While the St.J.A. Brigade works hand in hand with the St.J.A. Association as an equally important branch of the Ambulance Department of the Order, the distinction between the two must be carefully observed and maintained. (a) The Association provides instruction, and grants certificates of proficiency in first aid, &c.) to the individual, but does not undertake the organization of its certificate holders for the benefit of the public,

and, having no hold on the individual after a certificate has been gained, does not guarantee the maintenance of efficiency; on the other hand, the main object of the Brigade is to organize cerbficate holders and train them to render first aid to the public on public occasions and membership of the Brigade implip-s continued efficiency. (b) The same person may, of course, be an office-holder in the Association and an officer or other member of the Brigade, but no person can as an official of the Association exercise any control over any unit or member of the Brigade as such. (c) Although grants may be made by a Local Oentre of the Association towards the establishment and maintenance of a Oorps or Division, the Brigade units must as far as possible be self-supporting (which of itself greatly increases the interest of the members in their respective units), or at any rate they ought not to be con trolled by Oommittees of the Association. The existence of a dual control in the case of some of the earliest-formed Oorps in England (contrul by the Brigade authorities and control by the Local Oentres) has not worked satisfactorily, and it is earnestly reeommended that no snch experiment be tried. In England new Oorps and Divisions are now absolutely self-contained and independent of control by the Local Oentres. "Vhen Local Oentres contribute any financial support to Oorps or Divisions of the Brigade, the officers in charge will of course account for the expenditure of such contributions. 4. The essential conditions of membership of Oorps and Divisions of the Brigade are the following : -

(a) Good character and suitable physique. (b) The possession of a first aid certificate (not a junior certificate) of the St.J.A. Association. (e) The maintenance of efficiency, as defined in Brigade General Regulations, 1902, para. 35. This condition entails :_ (1) Attending in each official year at least 12 drills (or practices in the case of Nursing Divisions) at each of 'Which there 771,1.tst be some

practice of first aiel ;

(2) Passing an annual re-examination in nrst aid (and also in nursing in the case of Nursing Divisions, and of men who hold nursing certificates) conducted by a medical officer of the Brigade, apart from any examination passed under the rules of the St.J.A. Association; (3) Attending an annual inspection (chiefly as to discipline, general appearance, stretcher drill, and elementary infantry drnI) by a duly appointed officer of the Brigade; (4) Turning out for public duty to the satisfaction of the officer in charge of the Oorps or Division. 5. The fundamental rules of the Brigade are as follows :_ (a) No ranks, appointments, or titles, to be allowed but those authorized in the General Regulations. (b) Superior Officers, viz., Oommissioners, Medical Officers in Ohief, Deputy Oommissioners, and Assistant Oommissioners to be duly recommended to the Ohief Oommissioner with the view of their names being

submitted for approval of the Ohapter General of the Order and appointment by H.R.H. the Grand Prior, as in England. (c) District Staff Officers and Officers of Oorps and Divisions to be duly and formally appointed on behalf of the Ohief Oommissioner by the loc~l Oomm~ssioner or other superior officer who may be authorized to appomt; SerJeants, Oorporals, Honorary Secretaries, Inspectors of S1tores .ar:d Honorary Treasurers (if any) can be appointed by Deputy CommIssIOners.

(el) A uniform to be adopted and approved by the Order of St. John, through the Ohief Oommissioner, and no other uniform allowed as a Brigade uniform. No badges to be worn but those authorized in Brigade General Regulations, or by special permission of the Order. (e) ,Varrants, notifying appointment, will be issued (on application only) by command of the Grand Prior to all officers who are duly certified as having been appointed by or on behalf of the Ohief Oommissioner, and as wearing the authorized uniform. (f) Rules in conformity with the spirit, and as far as possible with the letter, of the General Regulations must be adopted by each Oorps or Division at the time of its enrolment, and sanctioned by the 10calOommissioner or Deputy Oommissioner. (g) Some form of Register Sheet must be adopted as a convenient means of assuring the local Oommissioner or Deputy Oommissioner of the actual strength of proposed units, as a proof that each proposed member agrees to abide by the rules and regulations, and as a record of original members. (h) Some form of Brigade Record Sheet should be adopted to insure a complete record of efficiency of all members year by year, and as a basis of claim to Service Badges, to any other rewards that may be allowed, and to continuance of membership. (j) Some form of Record of Drills and Duties must be adopted, and the use of it in:;isted upon in all Oorps and Divisions. (k) An Annual Report must be made to the Ohief Oommissioner by the first mail after 30th September, so as to be included in his Annual Report. This Report should be made in the form to be seen in any published Annual Report of the Ohief Oommissioner, say of the year 1899-1900, as there will be but little time for alterations on receipt of the form in Engla.nd, and it is most desirable that the reports of ullits of the Brigade beyond seas should appear side by side with those of Oorps and Divisions in the home country. This is the only return that must of necessity be submitted to Brigade Head Quart,ers at home. (l) The established nomenclature of units of the Brigade ~hould be observed, bodies consisting of less than about 70 membe~s bemg called Divi£ions, and only bodies of more thau that strength beIng ~llo,,:ed ~he title of Oorps. Divisions and Oorps should be grouped In D~stTlcts (under Deputy Oommissioners) and if the~e. m?st. of nece~sI~y for purposes of administration be more than one DIstnct m a DOmJDlOn or Oolony the supreme control of the combined Districts may we~l be vested in a Oommissioner. It is however recommended that the hIgher appointments should be limited to snch as are really nece~sary, and in small Oolonies the highest title might well be Ohief Supermtendent (of a Oorps). (771,) It is strongly recommended that 110 body of men or women of less than 12 persons should be enrolled as a Division, although, if really

necessary, they may form a Section of an existing Division. It is found by experience that, when the first enthusiasm has subsided, many members drop out, there are not sufficient on drill-nights to man a stretcher, and the organization soon collapses. (n) Elementary infantry drill should be taught and practiRed, as it inculcates habits of discipline, and ensures orderly movement when acting in crowds, &c.; and, with a view of the possible voluntary employment of the men in time of war as auxiliaries to the military medical establishments, the stretcher drill should be in complete accordance with that contained in the Manual for the Royal Army Medical Oorps. A new edition of the authorized Drill Manual of the Brigade is in hand and its publication will be duly announced. 6. Iany important alterations have been made in an issue of the General Regulations of the Brigade (1902), which is now in the press. A copy of these Regulations will be sent to all known Oorps and Divisions of the Brigade, and to the Secretaries of Local Oentres in the British Dominions beyond the Seas, as soon as they are published. Examples of the Forms used in the Brigade in England (which could be reproduced locally as required) can be sent, and any advice or information given from Head Quarters that may be desired by persons who may be good enough to undertake the formation of units of the Brigade. It is earnestly requested that the General Regulations be carefully read before any local rules are adopted. They have not been compiled arbitrarily, but are the outcome of fifteen or sixteen years' experience of the practical working of the Brigade 'under the conditions prevailing at home. As intimated above, local peculiarities and requirements may necessitate modifications in details of minor importance. As the Ohief Oommissioner is appointed by the Grand Prior of the Order to direct the Brigade, and to be responsible for its organization, administration and discipline, it is requested that copies of all orders and rules that may be issued or sanctioned for the guidance of units of the Brigade, wherever situate, may be sent to him as soon as practicable after issue.

:My

LORD.

I have the honour to submit the following report on the work done in England by the St. John Ambulance Brio'ade in connection 'w ith the war in 'outh Africa. It is probable that another contingent will yet be called for by the 'Val' Office, but, with thi reseI'Iation, it may be considered that the mobilization of the Brigade has practically come to an end. From the earliest days of the Brigade it has been one of its recognised objects to be prepared to a sist the military and other authorities as a supplement to the regular medical staff in case of nece sity either at horne or abroad," and this has been explicitly laid down in the several is ues of the General Regulations: moreover, every illan and nul' ing sister, on enrolment in the Brigade has been required to sign a declaration a to his or her 'willingness to ser,"e in British ambulances at home or abroad. N ot",-ithstanding this, there is no record of any steps haviner been taken to come to an agreement with the authorities a to the employment of members of the Brigade either by the Admiralty or the ' Val' Office. 1\'1ore than two years ao'o, it beiner fore een that in case of national emergency the Brigade might be able to render valuable assistance to the naval and military authorities, neerotiations were opened \\rith the 'Yar Office \\rith a view of arriving at some arrangelllent as regards the conditions of service-physical and technical qualification, rank, pay, and so forth-under which member of the Brigade could be employed as auxiliaries to the Royal Army Medical orps; but no definite decision was al'l'ived at. * In February, 1899, a letter was addressed to the Secretary of State for 'Val', explaining generally the organization and capabilities of the Brigade, and sUO'ere ting that it would be well to formulate in tilne of peace the condition, if any, under which * A.ltbongh not bearing on tbe war in outh Africa, it may be mentioned that negotiations are in progress with the Director General of the ~ledical Department of the Navy, with the object of determining the conditiolls, if any, under which members of the Brigade could be employed, in case of mobilization of the fleet, as sick berth attendants on board ships of the Royal Navy, or in nayal hospitals abroad.

members of the Brigade could be employ d as auxiliaries to the Army Medical Service in c~se of mobilization. of the force. In October, 1899 even"llInfonnal consultatIOns were held with the As i tant Director,Army :Medical ervice, at which the details of the physical and technical qualifications of volunteers from the Brigade were discu sed, and on the th November Regulations which had been approved by the Treasury were received from the Secretary of State for 'Val'. These regulations were embodied in a Brigade Order, No. 16, which is printed as an Appendix to this report with certain 11lodifications which were sub equently founrl to be nece sary, ::md this Order, which was issued to all Corps and Divisions of the Brigade on the 14th Kovember, 1899, has since served as the basis on which the mobilization of the Brigade has been conducted. In the nleantime, the gist of the e reo'ulation had been communicated to the Comnlissioner, and, on the 27th October, a preliminary confidential memorandum was is ued to all Corps and Divisions, calling for a return of volunteers for service 111 South Africa. The Brigade was thus happily prepared for the first call for volunteers, which was received from the 'Val' Office on the 3rd November. It should be stated here that two distinct cla ses of con.tingents have been furni hed by the Brigade for service in South Africa; 1st, men required as auxiliaries to the Royal Army Medical Corps, for the Princess Christian eMr. Moseley's) Hospital, and for the Rhodesian Field Hospital, all of whom serve immediately under the '\Tar Office; 2nd, men required for service in the private hospitals equipped under the auspices of the Central British Red Cross Committee, with the sanction of the Director General, Army :Medical Service. Under this head are included the Princess of \\ ales Hospital Ship, the Portland Ho pital, the Princess Christian Hospital Train, the American (1\11'. Yan Alen's) Section of a Field Ho pital, the Imperial Yeomanry Hospital, the Langman Hospital, the Imperial Yeomanry Field Hospital, and the Maine (American) Hospital Ship, the men in which categories serve under contract with the committees or providers of the hospitals, as hereafter explained. On reference to the Brigade Order above referred to, it will be seen that only two ranks of volunteers are specified, viz., Supernumerary Officers, holding a position equivalent to that of Sergeant in the Royal Army Medical Corps, and Privates, ranking as 1st or 2nd Grade Hospital Orderlies, according to their acquirements. The employment of Medical and Ambulance Officers of the Brigade, as such, is not contemplated in the regulations issued by the Secretary of State for War.

.As regards the former, it was, of course, open to Honorary .Surgeons of the Brigade to apply for employment under the War Office cLS civil practitioners, but there is no position as officer in the Royal Army Medical Uorps which could be held by Ambulance Officers. In order, however, to meet the uesire of many of the latter to take their share of service in South Africa, permission has been granted to Officers to resign their rank in the Brigade and to volunteer as Supernumerary Officers for service in the field, and about 17 Officers have availed themselves of this privilege. lV~ost of the Supernumerary Officers have been graded as ASSIstant 'Vard lasters, but Inany have been selected, according to their special qualifications, as Olerks, Compounders, and Storekeepers. It has been a source of great disappointment to a large number of the Nursing Officers and Sisters of the BriO'ade that their services could not b~ utilized in ~outh ~fric~. bl\lany of them are thoroughly qualIfied for nurs111g dutIes m hospitals, but the supply of members of the ATmy Nursing Reserve has been so ample that no other nurses ha,ve been sent out from Engl~nd, by. the 'Val' Office, as a supplement to the Army N ursmg erVIce. The men of the Brigade accepted for service in South Africa were not eJ?-li ted in the army, but each lllan entered into a civil contra.ct wlth the ecretary of State fOT 'Val', or with the several com~lIttees or provide~'s of private hospitals, to serve for a spe~Ified term, usua~ly SIX ~onths. Although the men are not subJect to the condItIO~s of the Army Act, they undertook in theIr ~~ntracts to. subr~llt to .the rules ?f discipline obtaining in the mIlItary hos12Itals 111 whIch they ~Ight be 8l?-pl?yed, and by the terms of theIr contracts they are lIable to dIsmIssal at any time in ca e of nlisconduct. The rates of pay assigned to the several ranks are the same as thos~ granted to 111en of the same gra,de in the Royal Army MedIcal ~orps, and the lllen employed under the 'Val' Office are pr~ct~call~ on the s~me footmg a,s regards compensation for ~nJluIe , &c., as solchers of the army. The lives of men servmg. under c~ntracts with the committees and providers of hosEItals were 111 ured by the latter for £150. . It WIll be note~ that the enlployment of unmarried men only IS contempla.ted 111 ~he regulatIOns but, as many married men volunteered for serVICe, they were accepted on the understandinO' that t~ey would in all respects be on the same footing a~ umuarned men, and that the Government 01' committees of private hospitals, as the case might be, would not under any

8 me~

would probably be attached for a short time to the depot .of the R:A.M.C. at .A ldershot 01' vVoolwich before embarkatlOn, and It was obvIOusly nec sSA.ry that all men so at.tached should be. clothed in. uniform ~litable for the English c~m~at~· moreover It. was con IdOl'ed advIsable, for purposes of dIS?Ipline, tha~ durmg the tay of the men in London before pr.oceedmg to Aldershot or vVoolwich, or to a port of embarkatIOn, they should not be .allowed to weal' plain clothes. o long as t~~r: were plenty of volunteers from uniformed 90~'ps and DIvISIOns, thIs provision of home uniform was mSIsted upon, and with great advantage' but as it soon became ev:dent that. men would have to be accepted who were not .In possessl.on .of the regulation uniform, and would not have ~Ime to o~tam It before the date of assembly at headqu~rters, It. was decI~ed that the only articl s of home uniform w~ICh m~ls.t ?ecessa~'Ily be brought by each n~an, or provicled by hln: on Jommg, wele the glove~. and. the w.aIstbelt and pouch, whICh .I~tt.er alone would be requIred for use In South Africa. . On JO.mI?g a~ h~ad-qu~rters, the men were at first billeted only m .certaln mns 111. 11l1medrate pro~iI?ity t.o 't. John' Gate, but, as this accommodatIOn was not suffiCIent for the large continaencs subseql~en.tly assembled, m:rangelnents were made for uartering the maJonty of the lllen In an empty warehon e in 'to John's Square, where they were provided with mea.ls furnished by a contractor at the rate of about 3s. 6d. a day per man. The ware~ouse used as. barracks was kindly lent for the first fortnIght a.t a nOillI:1al rent by Mr. Elwes, the solicitor to the mortgagee m posseSSIOn of the building, and it has been retained up to date under ~rrangeIllent. The beddino' for the lllen in barracks was o~ta111ed on :'equisition from °the ·ommi ariat Dep~rtment; of . that requIred f~r. the men quartered in the public houses referred to, the MIlItary Equiplnent Company, Waterloo Place,. were good enough to lend 23 bedsteads and the necessary beddmg for one month. On the withdrawal of this Messr!'. Maple & Co., Tottenham CO~lrt ~oad,. v~ry generously supplIed 50 bedsteads and se~s of beddmg for a snmlar period, but, owmg to the u~expected mflux of men, it has been found necessary to. retaIn these up to date. The lllessmg was OI~ the whole very satisfactory, and but few we~· grounded cort;l.plamts were made. The sleeping accommodatIOn ~f the men 111 b~rracks was not as comfortable as one could have wIshed; for, owmg t~ the restricted space at dispo aI, be~ste~ds could not be prOVIded, and the bedding consisted of COlr paillasses, placed close together on the fioor of the sleeping rooms, and a sufficiency of blankets. Due precautions were

9 taken to) disinfect the rooms, and the health of the men, under rather adverse circumstances, was remarkably good, only two cases of serious illness having occurred. The cost of the maintenance of the men during their stay in London, as well as the railway fares from theIr homes, was advanced by the St. John Ambulance Association in the case of men supplied direct to the yv ar Offic:, and paid by the co~ mittees or providers of the prIvate hospItals above referred to In the case of men furnished to those hospitals. It should be understood that, during their stay in London, the men received no pay, but in the case of those furnished to private hospitals a gratuity was given them by the committees or providers concerned. \Vhile at head-quarters, the Inen were exercised for several hours a day in foot and sLretcher drills, and were also put through special courses of instruction in nursing duties. During this period, also, the men were provided with the complete field kit, as approved by the military medical authorities, details of which will be found in Brigade Order 16. From time to till1e certain Il1odifications have been made in this field kit, and the items mentioned in the Brigade Order represent the outfit ultiIllately furnished. The co t of this outfit, most of which was provided by contractors, was at first about £6 6s. Oc.l. pel' Ulan, but in consequence of certain additions to the kit being found necessary, and of a gradual rise in contractors' prices, partly owing) no doubt, to the difficulty of procuring khaki material in sufficient quantity and to the enhanced price of labour, especially when strong contingents had to be clothed at very short notice, the cost of the mo t recent outfits has been as high as £8 lOs. Od. per man) and even more in some cases. The puttees, mess tin, brassard, and field dressing were obtained on requisition from the Royal Army ClothinO' Department, and fr ee in the case of men serving directly unde~ ~he War Office.; .t~e great coat and luess tin straps were similarly Issued on requISItIOn by the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich; the waterproof kit bag, and clasp knife and lanyard, were provided by the Royal Army Clothing Department, on payment. Th~c{).stof the field kit was advanced by the St. J ohnAmbulance ASSO?IatIOn, or defrayed by the several hospital coml11ittees and prOVIders. In addition to the outfit of members of the Brigade) the civil personnel (tradesmen .and work people). of the Imperial Yeomanry and ~angman HospItals, 54 I11en In all, was also equipped at B:'lgade head-quarters with khaki clothing and certain articles 0f kit) the expense of this outfit being of course defrayed by the

It i impo ible to speak too highly of the cle,otion with which :Jlr. Brasier ha thrown his "'hole eneruies into the work a 'siuned to him. 'ince the ani-val of the fir. t contingent, early in _..,.. o,ember, he ha practically lived in the oftice, and on 'Very fe\y aeca ion ha he lept away from the Gate. Equally con picuous ha-ve been the ernce rendered by Di tric Ihief, 'uperintendent \\ . H. l[oro-an, who, in addition to hi routine dutie' a . 'uperintendent of the In,alid Transport Corp and Chief • uperi.ntendent of the :Jletropolitan Di trict, has throu hout the entire period of mobilization charaed himself with the drill and outfitting of the -volunteers, a well as with the ueneral arrangements for the pecial nul' ing cIa ses. r

Morgan P?ssessed exc~ptIOnal qualIficatIOns fOl~ the work, business capacIty of the hIghest order, and a. devotl?n to duty which could not be exceeded. He ha practIcally lIved at the Gate, day and night, for the p~st six months. During the stay of each co?-tlngen.t at hea~-quarters , the .men attended courses of lectures In nursmg dutles. The e lecl/uros were oiven without intermission, sometinles twice a-day, from the a~'ival of the first contingent in N ovenlber until his. departure to South Africa as a civil surgeon. in March, by 11'. Sam Osborn, Chief Surgeon of the l\IetropolItan Corps, and the able instruction so generously given to the ?len cannot ha~e failed to be of the greatest value to them. mce :JIr. Osborn s departure to South Africa, the cour es oflectures have be, n COlltinued by Honorary Surgeon J. Brow~, R.N". and Hon. 11rgoon J. M. Carvell, and to those three medIcal officer the 'IYal':l1.ost thanks of the Order and of the Bl~igade are due for tl~e un~Inng interest they have taken in prepanng the men for theIr dutICs as hospital orderlies. Hon. Surgeo~ls ~rowI~ and ~arv:ell h~ve also conducted most of the exammatIOns m nUrSInD', m whICh arduous work they have been occasionally assisted by Deputy Inspector General l\1. Coates, R.K, a nlember of the Order. It has been stated above that valuable a sistance ha been given at head-quarters by A.mbula?-ce Offi~ers who have from time to time volunteered theu serVIces. ChI f among thelll may be mentioned the following: -1\1r. A. J. Trimmer, Supernumerary Superintendent of Stores, Metropoli~an Corps, who gave almost daily help from the first untIl hI~ departure to South Africa as Wardmaster of the Impenal Yeomn:nry Hospital: Superintendent of Stores S. B.. Piers! Metr?J?olI~an Corps, who throughout the entire penod of mobilIzatIOn devoted nearly every night (and frequently the who~e of the night) and most Sundays to assisting Chief Supen1:1tenden~ Morgan in the work of equipping the m81~, and superlI~_tended the marking of the whole of the clothIng and equIp~ent,. and the issue of all articles of kit other than clothmg;'

Chief Superinte?-dent J. 'vV. White, Ironbridge Corps~ who voluntarily remamed on duty for a mont"?- at head~quartels and rendered most valuable service both In the dnll yard and in the office; Superintendent Bal~er, u~attached, who for ma?-y weeks was on continuous duty, bemg chIefly employed as a d~I11, and only ceased to give his untiring ~ssi~tance o?-. volUI;tteen;ng for service as a 'upernmnerary .Offic~r p~- outh Afnca; Supermtendent W. J. H. Pontin, CyclIst DlvisIOn, who throu.ghout the whole period of mobilization undertook the ahno.s t daily task ?f superintendinD' the arrangements for the nursmg classes, m which import~nt work he was greatly a sisted by Sup. Officers Vilven and Hallatt, Cyclist Division; uperintend~nt E Hodgson, East Ham Division, wh? devoted his ~pare tl?'le on aturdays and 'undays to rendermg general aSSIstance In the drill yard and office. A debt of D'ratitude i due to the Master of the Charterhouse, Canon HaiD'bBrown; who has not only been o'ood enough to provide a roonl in which nursing classes could meet, but has mo t kindly allowed the COllTtyarc~ of the Cha.rterhou~e to be used daily as a drill oTound As It wa~ foynd ImpractIC~ble to obtain tho 11 e of any other open space 'I:Ithm re.asonable chstance of the Gate it is difficult to , ee how the mstructIOn of the several continD'ent ' in foot and stretcher drill could have been carried out but for the ~Iaster's D'enerous and patriotic action. To the Rctor of t. John's, Clerkenwell, the Rev. T. ". '0.T ood, a Chaplain of the Order, the warme t thanks of the Order and of the Brigade are clue for kindly allowing the m~mbers .of the BriD'adc to attend the service of the church durmg theIr stay at head-quarters.

Th: general routine of calling in men has been briefi ~escnbe~ above, so far as t~e iss~le of ?l:ders froln head-quart81; ~ cOlnc~ned, but the detaIls of m?b~hzation have necessarily evo ve up0D: the D eputy CommIsSIOners of Districts. The amount of wntten and telegraphic correspondence involved in

15 callin o' in returns of volunteers for the successive contingents from ~ach of the Corps and DivisioI~s in their severa~ Districts, to say nothing of their constan.t anXIety lest the r~quHed quota of men should not be forthcommg by the date speCIfied, and the hurried personal visits to their outlying units, far and .J?-ear, which were frequently necessary, must ?a~e been ~t .tlIDes overwhelming, especially.in the la.rger Dlstnct,s, a:nd It ~s not too much to say that In no Inihtary orgamzatlon, WIth an adequate staff of trained clerks, would work h~ve been done with greater accuracy and de 'pa.tcl: than ~hat whlCh was a~com plished by the lJeputy COllllnissIOners, In Juost cases smglehanded. In hardly any case has there been the slightest delay in the rendering of returns calle~ for, and the quo~a of .m.en ordered to be furnished on a c rtaln date ha almost rnvanably been forwarded to head-quarters on the day named. Seeing, however that the Inen ,,-ho had volunteered for service were not under In'ilitary orders, were practically all eno-aged in permanent employment, and in innumerable cases found themselves unable at the last mOlient to give up their occupation, it is evident that the Deputy COlnlllis ion rs lllust often haye had great clifficulty in carrying out their in tructions, and . that but f~r their own untirino' enero-y and the zeal and readIness of theIr Superinten lents of Corps ~n 1 Diyision in filling up ca ualties at a few hours' notice, it would hale been impo ible for them to furnish the quota of men proDli eel SOine notion of the difficultie with which the Deputy Commissioners and Superintendent had to c()ntend may be formed from the following con iderations. In the first place, the men did not volunteer for the several contingents by complete units (Corp 01' Divi ions), but individually, 01' in groups from the several Divi ions. Thu ' a Deputy ommi sioner who was called upon to furni h 60 n1en on a certain date or to hold them in readiness to join on an approximate date, might ha,e to conuuunict),te with 10 or 20 'uperintendents of Divi ion in -various parts of his District, and .imilarly t~e Superinte?dents ~o~lld hay at once to look up then' quota of men who nnght be liVIng several miles apart. Again, con iclerations of expen e and of the insufficiency of the head-quarter staff Iuade it impossible to keep up a permanent depot in London, from which contingents could be drawn from time to tin1e a required: and, even if suc~ a depot could have been continuou ly lllaintained, it wa manlfe tly out of the question to keep men on hand longer than was neces ary in order to complete their outfit and put them through a course of drill and instruction in nursing duties seeing that under the ,Var Office regulations they received no pay prior to

embarkation' consequently llien were never called in until positive instructions had been received from the 'Val' Office, or private hospitals, that the men would be required to embark on a certain date, and these orders were often received very few days before it would be necessary to assemble the men in London. Further, as the dates of sailing of the transports, which were to convey the several contingents, 'v ere sometimes sudd nly advanced or postponed several days, the men had frequently to be called in sooner or later than the day for which everyone bad been already warned. It ,yill be gathered from these considerations that every one concerned-Coillmi' ioner, Deputy ommi sioners, Superintendents and volunteers-lived in a constant state of suspense, and that in consequence there was an infinitely greater amount of correspondence, inconyenience and strain inyolved in the lliobilization of 50 or 60 men of the Brigade, than would be necessitated by the removal of a battalion of soldier. . As illustrations of the rapidity with which the calling in of the men was effected, the following instances may be mentioned. The order for the 2nd contingent, 55 men, was received at headquarters on the morning of the 20th November, and, before midnight of the 22nd, the whole of the men, from all parts of the kingdom, were assembled at the Gate and fitted with clothing and fully equipped, although they did not lubark until the 25th. Again, the order for 11 selected men, suddenly required for the Hospital Ship "Maine," reached the Deputy Comulis ioner of No.4 District at midnight on Saturday, 2 th April. On Sunday nothing could be done, and yet the men reported themselves at the Gate on Tuesday morning, were clothed and equipped, and embarked at Southampton by midday on Thursday, 3rd May. Perha12s the following is the most remarkable instance of rapid executIOn of orders that has occurred during the mobilization. Owing to the miscarriage of a telegram, the order for 66 men of No.4 District to join at head-quarters on the 8th May was not received by the Deputy Commissioner. A second telegram , which w.as despatched to him on the night. of the lOth May, reached hIm at 8 a.m. on Lhe lIth. TelegraphlC orders were at once sent by him to the Superintendents of the Corps and Divisions who we~'e to supply the men, with the result that many of them arrIved th~ same evening, . and the remainder joined by 9 a.ln. the followmg day. In thIS case the men had certainly been warned some days previously that they would be wanted, but no ~ate had been fi:x;ed.. Instances of the rapid execution of orders l~ the other DIstncts could be adduced, but the fOl'egoing :VIll suffic~. .It speaks well for the organization of the BrIgade ill the DIstncts, that results such as these can be attained',

these instances also serve to throw some light on the really ,colossal work, already alluded to, which was accomplished at head-quarters by District· Chief Superintendent Morgan and District Superintendent of Stores Piers, who on many occasions worked throughout the whole night in order to fit the clothing and serve out the equiplllents of the many detachments required at short notice. It must be confessed that in some few instances, owing doubtless to an anxiety that their Corps or Division should make a good show of numbers at the front, Superintendents have not attended strictly to the instructions as to the height and age of volunteers, and in many cases men have been allowed to join at head-quarters whose personal outfit was not suitable for wear on active service, but with these exceptions the regulations regarding the selection of volun teers have been carried out by Corps and Divisional Officers with laudable fidelity. It is manifestly impossible to mention by name all the Superintendents who have rendered conspicuous service by their zeal in facilitating the volunteering and their assistance in furnishing the outfit of their men, nor is it desirable to individualize where all have carried out their duties to the best of their ability. Suffice it to say that the mobilization of the Brigade could not have been efiected \',-ith the ease and punctuality that has characteri ed the operation, had not the Superintendents loyally obeyed the calls so continually made on their tinle and energies by their respective Deputy Commissioners. To the Honorary Surgeons of Corps and Divisions the warmest thanks of the Order and Brigade are due for the care with "\\ hich they have in nearly all cases conducted the/hysical examination of volunteers, as well as for the time an ability which they have in so many instances deyoted to the special in truction of the nlen in nursins' duties. 'Vith very few exception, the Illen who have joined at head-quarters have come up to a fair standard of physique, and in only one or two instances havemen on re-examination at head-quarters been found unfitted for active service in the field. The preceding paragraphs refer chiefly to the work performed by the Officers of the Brigade, but it remains to say a few words regarding the Supernumerary officers and men who have so nobly responded to the call of duty. From first to last there has always been an ample supply of volunteers who fulfilled the necessary requirements as to physical fitness, height and age. Had it been desirable to accept men over or above the heigl1ts or ages laid down in the regulations, many hundreds of men who were anxious to serve would have been available if their services had been

required. ,Vhen it i . con idcre 1 ~hat t.he In ·1nber of ~Ile Brio'ade al' , n.lmo t wIthout exc ptIOn Ulen ,vho n.re en.rnmg 0'00% alarie or wage ,n.nd that th?~T y~)luntarily accept ervic under the ,V fll' Office itt rate ,\'lllch III llln.ny ca es repre ent con identbl' Ie than half of the mnou!l.t th y temporarily foreo'o it WIll be acknowledg' d that the Bngad hn.
