REPORT OF

Throughout the year the llospital has Ill,tinlaincd its character for dealing- with case of the most severe natul-e, B RICADE the whole of the patients admitted having- been, with the HOSPITAL. x eption of a few olllcers, stretcher cases. The una"oidable resignation of Captain J. \Iac1lwaine, one of the senior physicians, is much regretted. Dr. Foster Coates went out as a junior physician to bring th Hospital up to establishment. Pathological Laboratory. - Under the ~llper\'ision of lVIajol- Ilollston, assisted by Captain McCloy, 1,321 routine examination'i were made during the year, chiefly by the latter. In addition, interesting work of a research nature was undertaken, and included a large number of examinations to detect carriers among dy 'entery contacts in the Etaples area, testing blood for transfusion and classifying the typhoid g-roup of bacteria. Heart Department.-Developments in this department during the first eight months of the year nece sitated the pro\'ision of additional accommodation. There are now two examining rooms, and a dark room in which a cardiograph is installed. In January, Captain ~[acIl \Yaine, by arrangement with the military authoritie~, instituted a class of physical exercises at the No. 6 COl1\-alescent DepOt for men ll(Tering from disordered action of the heart. This work has grown, several classes lasting six weeks having been carried through in conjunction with the Heart Department. The number of ca es under treatment at a time has varied from 150 to --1-00, and about GO per 'cnl. returned to active service, while many more have been con idered suitable for ba::-.e work in France. Surgical Division.-Under the charge of l\Iajor Hope, 1,100 more cases than in the preceding twelve months have been dealt with, and the death mortality has been reduced to 3'1 ( per cent. Dental Department.-During the year 982 in-patienh, and 1,625 outpatients haye been treated, under the supervi ion of Capt. \V. E. Coe in addition to a number from other hospitals and e tablishments. Health. --All things considered, the health of the staff of the lIo. pital has been good. No deaths have occurred, and there have been no cases of serious infectious disea es. Sanitation.-The system has remained the same during the year but to provide for the disposal of liquid sewage in 1918 ad litional soak pits have been constructed at ome distance away. This necessitated tunneling a large sand dune for a length of 50 yds., the ,,,'ork being carried out entirely by the Orderlies, se\'eral of whom were miners in civil life. The Chapel.-This Chapel was dedicated on the 16th November, 1917, by the Rt. Rev. the Bishop of New Westminster. It is situated nearly in the centre of the Hospital, adjoining the patients' dining room. It is about 24-ft. by 20 ft. and capable of seating 45 people. For a largely attended service screens are removed between the Cbapel and the Dining Hall, giving accommodation for well over 100. The funds for its erection were collected by Lady Perrott. Extensions. - The extensions during the year include additional cubicles for the sisters, improvements connected with the laboratory and administration block, provision of an officers' pack store and addition to the H.;!art Department.

L\D1ES' CO:\I!\lITTEE.

Thanks are due to thc various vVar llospital Supp!y Dep ot~ and private indi\-iduals for the \'cry largc quantities of dress,.ngs aLJ~ other materials givcn by them. llalkyn Hous~ deserves speclalmentlOl1, as its contributions haye been beyond all pnllse. . . 011 the 17th September the llospital had the honou I' of a VISit from Her Roya l Highness Princess Louise, Duchess ?f .i \rgyU, :vho was accompanied by Lieut. -Col. and Lady Holden and LIeut. -Gen. Sir Artl:ur Slogg-ett. Her Royal Highness congratulate? the O£?cer Commandll1g on what she was kind enough to call a splendId HospItal. The year's work has been marked by the more conslant supply of . everely wounded men sent from the fro~t and by the magnificent pirit amongst all the helpers dIrectly and indirectly connected with the hospital. ., Men suffering from the severest type of wounds are receIved dIrect from the southern ports as soon as they are brought acros ' from France, but although 215 major operations have had to be pe~formed, the dea~hs have been but 15, showing a mortality percentage of 6 as compar~d WIth '9 in the previou year. TO more striking testimony could be gIven of the skill and devotion of the workers in all departments. The cost of food has risen from 16 '31 pence to 19 pence per day per head and this added to the increased cost of all materials and labour has r'endered the government grant of 3 '- quite in ufficient. The grant has recently been increa. ed to 3, 3, but is still inadequate. For the unloading of trains an organization known as the St. John V .A . D. Tran. port has been formed from the men of the Vulcan Motor Works with a fleet of 17 motor ambulances. In addition to meeting trains, 'journey are taken to Li\'erpool and to some of the special hospitals to which patients bave to be transferred. Two highly succes ful fetes have been held, one at the vVoodlands and the other at the Grange.

Christmas Presen ts for all the Staff and Patient and a dinner for the Orderlies at the St. John Ambulance Brigade COMMITTEE . Hospital, Etaples, were provided by the Committee, t.he total amount subscribed being £ 1+0 1+s. Mo t apprecIative letters have been received from Colonel Trimble and the Matron expressing their sati faction at the presents sent, and describing the very happy Xma. which had been arranged at the Hospital. At the l. John Brigade Hospital Depot at Halkyn House, Belgrave Square, 80,08--1- Bandages and Dres ings have been made and 28,900 Dressings and Bandages have been received from affiliated DepOts, all of which have been de patched to the hospital. +37 \Voollen Girt , specially asked for by the Officer Commanding the Hospital have been received from the Nursing Divisions of the St. John Ambulance Brigade. The affi liated DepOts are Gollandfield N. B., Tyringham and Romily, a ll of which have contributed largely. Working parties in the afternoon attended by domestic servants, and others more recently started in the evening for business girls, have been a great success. A Badge has been inaugurated for morning workers who hav made 100 attendances, and for servants who have made 30 attendance 122 \Vorkers ha\'e already received t h em.

The supplie are provided by a money grant from the Joint ommittee of the Order and the B. R. C .S., and also very largely hy gift from work parties and supporters at home and o\'er ' eas. The hospitals and convale cent homes are very dependent on sllch auxiliary help, without which they could not provide ackquately for the wants of their men. Letters daily testify to their needs and thei r thanks for the assistance gi,·en. Contributors are carne tly b g-ged not to relax in their generous help during the coming month.

Mrs. elby went right down to the edge of the crater close to exploding hells and where about 50 yal-ds off was a shed full of shell which kept going off like gigantic squibs. he did not leave the place until she was sure that all the work was done and all injured in safety.

In 1914-, Mr. Vivian Gabriel, C.S.I., C,V.O., of the Indian Civil Service, a Knight of Gracc of the Order, wrote to LT.-COl. A. C. Lt. -Col. A. C. Yate, knowing t.hat. he has interested himYATE, AS TO T HE self in the subject, on the propo~ed acquisition by the AUBERCE Ordcr of the Auberge cL\ngletcrre, in the same way as D'ANCLETE RRE, the French Go\'ernment had acquired, by the generosity RHODE S. of 1\1. Bompard, its .\mbassador at Constantinople, the ,\ ubcrge de France. ~1r. Gabriel, now attached to the Briti. h squadron in the ,Egcan with the rank of Lieut.-Colonel, has made the 1110 t of his opportunities to inspect the remains of the buildings of the Order in Rhodes, and has reported that the English bo tel is alone in hm' ing recei\'Ld no attention. The exterior of the hostel has almost entirely disal pcared, but in the interior some fine rooms are still extant, being used as a warehouse by a Hebrew merchant. Both Lt.-Coloncl Yate and Lt.-Colonel Gabriel are of opinion that the Order might acquire and restore the building to the condition in \yhich it appears in a print by Rottiers, made about the beginning of the 19th century . The Chapter-General has con idered the matter, and ha decided that Colonel Yate be asked to make further investigations with a view to possible action being taken at a more favourable time.

The Chapter-General records with deep regrct that un lhc OPHTHALMIC entry of General Allenby into Jeru<,alcl11 on 11th Deccm b\::r HOSPITAL. it was found that the hospital had becn lls~d as an ammunition depot, and had bcen hlown up by the Turks on evacuating the Holy City. The central part of tbe buildings rccei\'ed most damage, but no part entirely escaped. It is contemplatcd that arrangements will before long be made to re-open a pat t of the hospital, if only for the treatment of out patients. A Restoration Fund has been opened, and the best thanks of the Order are due to Mr. C. W , Bartholomew for his munificent gift of £ 1,000. BRITISH

A few Coins have been added to the collcction , in the Library at St. John's Gate, of those minted by the Ord er at Rhodes and Malta; among others, a Gold Sequin of randmaster Carretto, Rhodes, A.D. 1513-1521; a silver Gigliat of Grandmas ter

The Dean of Gloucester preached on St. Barnabas Day , June 11 th, 1902 the sermon at the Commemoration service held after the return hom~ of the St. John Ambulance Brigade contingents from the South African War. This sermon wa printed and circulated by command of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, K. G., Grand Pt'ior of the Order. Surgeon-General the Hon. Sir Frederick William Borden was a great supporter of the St. John Ambulance As ociation and Brigade in the Dominion of Canada. Colonel Hendley early saw the advantages of the work of the Ambulance Department in India, both in war and in peace, and helped greatly with it development. On his return home h~ b.ecame CI?airman of No. IX. District of the St. John Ambulance ASSOCiation but his name will always be specially remembered with gratitude in the Order for his services as Honorary Secretary of its British Ophthalmic Hospital at J eru alem, in which capacity his zeal and energy and his professional training and knowledge of eye disea es in the East and their treatment were of the utmost value. Sir Benjamin Franklin, formerly Director-General in India and a member of the then Central Executive Committee, was a member of the Joint War Committee of the Order of St. John and British Red Cross Society and gave valuable a . sistance in the election of members of its medical and urgical staff during the present war, and also as a member of the Committee of the King George Ho pital in Stamford Street. Surgeon-General Sir William Taylor was Director-General of the Army Medical Service from 1901 to 1904. For some years he was a selected m mber of the Chapter-General and had a seat on the then Central Executive Committee of the Ambulance Department. Mr. John Arthur James was introduced into the Order by His late Majesty King Edward VII. in r cognition of the Home for Consumptives supported by his late brother, Mr. ,\Villiam James, also a Knight of Grace him ' elf. His Red Cro s and other charitable efforts were large and discerning, among them being the gift of the income of a sum of £20,000 to the Middle ex Ho pital for cancer research. Colonel J. E. Squire, formerly commanding the V.M.S.C. in London, was a very old member of the St. John Ambulance Association Medical Staff. Dr. W. Bezly Thorne served formerly on the Ambulance and British Ophthalmic Ho pital Committee, and materially assisted H. R. H. Princess Christian in the formation of the Army Nursing Reserve, the services of which have proved so enormously valuable and reliable. Surgeon-General Sir George Birdwood \vas a great Anglo-Indian who was one of the makers of New Bombay, where his birthday was annually celebrated with great rejoicing and where his bust in the University Senate Hall was regarded as a shrine. He greatly encouraged the work of the Ambulance Department in the Bombay Presidency. Sir Alfred Mosely took great interest in the philanthropic works of the Order, notably in connexion with the visit to the Dominion of Canada of Colonel Bowdler, Chief Commissioner of the Brigade, to spread the knowledge of its work and to further the formation of units.

He generously and gratuitously placed His Majesty's Theatre at the di posal of the Committee formed in 1904, of which H. R. H. Princess Christian was Chairman and Lady Perrott Honorary Secretary, to arrange for Tableaux illustrating the ancient history of the Order. Sir Herbert Tree acted as Stage Manager, the audience including Their Majestie the King and Queen, Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales and nearly all the members of the Royal Family, the funds of the British Ophthalmic Hospital benefitting to the extent of over £2,440 after all expenses had been deducted. Miss Thurburn, one of the Assistant Honorary Secretaries of the Norwood Centre, gave her zealous and able services to great advantage.

THE DIRECT R of the r\mbulance Department and the Ambulance Committee of the Order have the hOt~our to submit the following report on the work of th SL. John Ambulance Association for the information of His Royal Highness the Grand Prior, and the ChapterGeneral. The sociation 10 t a \'ery zealous worker in the death of 01. T. H. Hendley on 2nd February, 1917. Col. IIendley \\'orked assiduou Iy in the interests of the A sociation in India for many year '. He was a Knight of Grace of the Order and a member of the mbulance Committee. The death of Henry Percy Potter, M.D., F.R.C . . , D.P.H., took place on the 9th April from blood poi oning, contracted while performing an operation. Dr. Potter was a Knight of Grace of the Order, and his valuable ervices to the ociation as lecturer and examiner have been greatly missed. A memorial in memory of Dr. Potter was unveiled in September in the church of St. Elizabeth, Kensington, W., by Sir Dyce Duckworth, BART., LL. D., Almoner of the Order. The deaths of Surgeon-General Sir Pardey Lukis and Lieut-Colonel T. S. Parrott, v. D., are also announced with regret. Reference is made to them on pages 32 and 38 re pectively. OBITUARY.

Early in the year Halkyn House, Belgrave Square, was mo t generou ly placed at the disposal of the Ladies BRICADEHOSPITAL Committee ofthe Order by Earl Beauchamp as a depot for IN FRANCE. making dressings and bandages and also other neces itie for the St. John Ambulance Brigade Hospital. Adeline Duchess of Bedford is the Chairman, Lady Perrott (Lady Superintendent-in-ChieO, Vice-Chairman, Mrs. Morris Chapman, Manager, F. S. Phillips, ESQ., Hon. Treasurer, and H. K. Stephens, ESQ., Hon. Secretary. Work at the depot wa started on the 3rd January, 1917. DEPOT FOR ST.

JOHN AMBULANCE

THE ST.

JOHN AMBULANCE ASSOCIATION.

During the ,,"ar, the St. John mbulance Association and the Sl. John Ambulance Brigade, at home and overseas, h a been engaged in raising and maintaining \ oluntary Aid Detachments, the member of which, both men and women, ha,"e been erving in lVIilitary and Auxiliary Military Hospitals at home and abroad; in providing the re, erve - for the medical units of the Army and Navy, through the medium of the Royal Naval Sick Berth Reserve and the Auxiliary Home IIospitals Res rve (integral parts of the St. John Ambulance Brigade) ; in establi hing Auxiliary Hospitals, in which many thousands of patients have been treated; and in the organisation of air- raid relief parties. Through the Joint CommiLtee, it has participated in the collection of funds, in the supply of medical tores and hospital accessorie of every kind, and in many other undertakings too numerous to mention, connected with the welfare of the ick and wounded in all the theatres of ,var. It seems probable that, when the history of the war is written, the services rendered by the Red Cros organi ation of the Empire ,viII come to be recognised as one of the 010 t remarkable acbie,"e ment connected with this momentous period of the nation' history. WAR

FACTORY

WORK.

It is not only in \var time, however, that the Sl. John Ambulance Association can render ervice to the nation. In the industrial world at home and abroad, in dangerou . employments of every description on land and ea, in the outpo. Ls of the Empire especially, and in all cases in which the 'e n "ices of doctor are not easily obtainable, the teaching of the A~ sociation has times out of number proved its worth, not only as a means of alleviating suff ring, but in actual saving of life. When the war is over, great development in our industries are foreshadowed . What such developments will entail can best be appreciated from the following figures, extracted from a recent r port on the health of munition workers :In 11 moderate-sized works, employing 35,000 workers, 3 ,000 surgical dressings were performed in ten month. At Woolwich Arsenal, where a large staff is maintained to deal with accidents, 150,000 attendance fo r treatment or medical examination occurred in one year. There are signs that the problem of the amelioration of the conditions under which industrial undertakings are carried on is occupying the ve ry careful attention of the Government Departments concerned; and by a recent order issued by the Home Office, under the Factories Act, provision of ambulance equipment and trained personnel ha been made compulsory in certain classes of factories which are not already so provided. This order may be regarded as a preliminary step which will be followed during the period of reconstruction by more comprehensive legislation which will open up a vast field of useful work for the St. John Ambulance Association and Brigade in the future.

When the matter was under consideration, the Cbief Secretary was asked to attend a conference in connection with the subject at the IIome Office, and it is satisfactory to note that in the covering letter ,>vhich was issued with the Order reference was made to the fact that the Association could provide the First Aid box or cupboard. The IIome Offic also recommended that persons in charge of the First , id box or cupboard should obtain the certificate of the ' t. John Ambulance ~ocia tion, the St. Andrew's Ambulance Association, or other recogm ed society or body. The Stores Department has prepared a special cabinet strictly in accordance with the Home Office requirements, but up to the present they bave not found it possible to keep pace \"itb th~ orders. Tbough the \ssociation is not in a po~ition to supply th .\mhlllance Room, step have been taken to prepare a plan o[ a sui Lable ~lrllcLL1re, the particulars of \yhich, together with Lhe name o[ the firm [rom \\·hom it can be procured, are provided to all inquirers. VOLUNTA RV AID ORCANISATION .

The arrangement whereby the Joint . .\ . . ~ oJl1Jl1itlee controls, under the War Office. the whole V.A. Organisation has continued to work mo t satis[actori Iy during

the year. County Director are the local representatives of tbe Committee, and now that the fact has come to be recogni sed, their work, which is largely concerned with the superyi ion of Auxiliary IIospitals and thl: provision of V. A. D. personnel, bas increased to an enormous extent, and has rendered necessary the appointment of a Chief County Director at Head-quarters . This position brlS been accepted by the Rt. Hon. Viscount Chilston. It will be remembered that in the last report an allusion \vas made to the establi hment of a Joint Women's V.A.D. Committee, with Headquarters at Devonshire House, and to the appointment o[ 1rs. Furse (now Dame Katharine Furse) to be in charge, for the period of the war, of all Women's V.A.Ds., whether raised by the Order, the British Red Cross Society, or the Territorial Force Association . Dame Katharine Furse has, however, resigned this position and has been succeeded by Lady Ampthill. T he establishment of a General Service section of the V.A. organisation, and the substitution of women for men wherever possible in Auxiliary services at home and abroad, has resulted in a great development of the Women's V . A. Department at Devonshire House. Another important branch of the work at Devonshire House which is greatly increasing is the provision of trained ambulance drivers for service in France.

A most gratifying effect of the Association'~ work b?-s been the enthusiasm with which the Metropolitan Polic , th Great \Vestern Railway entre and t. John's Gate Ambulance, and East Ham Nursing Divisions of the Prince of W.al 's Corps of the Brigade, have taken up a proposal fO.r the pre~aratlon of a Fir t Aid Film.

FIRST AID FILM.

On the 24th January, 1917, His Royal Highness the D~ke of Connaught, Grand Prior of the Order, \\ hen open\l1g the St. John Ambulance Brigade Hospital DepOt at Halkyn SAILORS AND House, Belgrave Square,stated that the Order had, through SOLDIERS. its Ambulance Department, ma le an ofTer to the Na\'al and Military authorities to take over the whole of the charge of the caring for our disabled sailors and soldiers, in so far as the renewal and repair of their artificial limbs was concerned. The special objects of the scheme were : . . (1) To maintain and repair artificial limbs ~nd surgical appliance,' (2) To render this assistance as far a pOSSible at or near the men ' homes and while they continued in their employment. (3) To ensure that full u e is made of the appliances provided at Government expense, and that no man remain on crutche.s or otherwise unfit for employment when an artificial limb or a~phance would enable him to become a useful member of the commumty. It was at once recognised that cordial co-operation ith the Qu~en Mary's Auxiliary Hospital at Roehampton was essential, and a J omt Committee-consisting of representatives of the Order of St. J ohn and Roehampton, together with a representative of the Ministry of Pensions -was set up. . . . L ater on definite proposals were made by the )Oll1t secretanes of this Committee to the Ministry of Pensions, under which England and

CA RE OF

DISABLE D

Wale would be divided into appropriate districts, an adequate number of Repairing Centres would be established, and a system of unobtrusive and unofficial visiting, with the object of keeping in constant touch with disabled men-would be organised. Further, the Order undertook to prepare a text-book on the subject of artificial limbs and their u e . The Minister of Pensions replied that, while in full sympathy with the objects of the scheme, he wa of opinion that all arrangements for the benefit of the disableJ sailors and soldiers must remain in hi hand. He, however, invited the Order to proceed with the preparation of the text-book on artificial limbs, for submis ion to the rmy Medical Authoritie and him elf, for their approval. This book is now in course of preparation. An intere ting event took place at the St. John Ambulance Brigade Ho pital, Etaple , on the evening of the 9th DecemJ OHN AMBULANCE ber, 1916, when the Earl of Ranfurly, G. C.l\I.

the official of the various Provincial Councils, are to a large extenL responsible for the splendid showing made. Since 1911, t.he firsL year of the Association's instructional activities, 62,923 candidates ha\'e pa~scd through the various courses of study provided, 41,622 were successful in securing certificates, and 6,15+ received a\\'ards for re-examinations. The record for the past tweh e months shows the work to be increasing in every Depart.ment. During this period 13,076 individuals t.ook one or other of the courses of leclures compared with 10,02+ in the previous year. There were 8,935 certificat.es issued as against 8,160 in 1916, and 1,326 candidat.es took a second or subsequent course, while in the preceding year the number re-examined was 920. It will t.hus be s en that the increase is general, but of special int.erest is t.he fact that +00 graduates have manifested their desire to pcrfect themsclves in First Aid, by presenting themselves for re-examination, showing that they have kept up their study and practice during the year. The reports from Provincial Councils indicate, in e\'ery in~tance hut one, substantial advances over the preceding year, as the following figures testify: Alberta 120; British olumbia 4+1; Manitoba 31; Nc\V Brunswick 398; Ontario 815; Quebec 282; askatchewan 10,); Canadian Pacific Railway 226; Grand Trunk Railway 211 ; and Canadian Government Railways 573. The only Provincial Council showing a decrease was Nova Scotia, this being caused entirely by the difficulty in securing professional Instructor , due in a large measure to the drain upon the medical profession for overseas service. The General Council desires to empha ize the excellent results [rom the Railway Centres. The Canadian Govcrnment Railway C ntr , which fell behind in 1916, manife ts a splendid recovery in 1917; 57" employees have received Fir t Aid instrucLion. An errort is now being made by this Centre to arouse the inLerest of employee in Engine and Train services by First Aid lectures delivered at t.heir regular Union organisation meetings. By this means, it i hoped to creak a de...,ire among the men to take the full course. In the pa t, from the vc,'y nature of their duties and irregular hours, these employees ha\ c foulld it difficult to attend lectures at stated intervals. The records f the Centre indicate that over 3000 accident cases were g-i\"en Fil'st .\id treatment during the year. Mr. W. C. Paver, who had been Secretary o[ the Government Railways Centre since the inception of the 1110vCI11cn t, having- retired from active service upon superannuaLion, has been succeeded by Mr. J. E. Long, Safety First Engineer. The Canadian Pacific Railway Centre has, in addition to its Railway work, inaugurated classes in First Aid on all steamships of the Canadian Pacific Railway Steamship Co., and during the year many ships' ofTiccrs and men have qualified for certificates Since the outbreak of the war, 7,502 employees ofthe Canadian Pacific Company have enlisted for overseas services. Practically everyone of these was a " first-aider," constituting a splendid auxiliary to the Army Medical and .\mbulance Services. The Grand Trunk Railway Centre has experienced sil11ibr difTiculty in the matter of imparting instruction to Enginemen and Trainmen, but has overcome the obstacles to some extent by making a knowledge of First Aid an additional qualification of Enginemen and Air Brake Instructors and Road Foremen of Engines; these men will now

impart the First Aid course in addition to their other duties. The Grand Trunk Railway Centre is to be congratulated for maintaining it· First Aid competitions at several divi ional points, in addition to the General ompet.ition for the Chamberlain Shield, \",hich was won this year by the team from the Stratford (Ont.) shops. The Central Executive of the A sociation was again asked to nominate the medical cxaminer for the final tests. In 1916 this duty was ably discharged by Dr. C. J. Copp, of Toronto. At the recent examinations in Montreal, the Executive was represented by Dr. W. C. Gliddon, of Ottawa, one of our most efficient lecturers and examiners. The arrangements for the 10nt.real finals were made by our General Secretary, and Mr. F. Bourne, thc enthusiastic Honorary Secretary of the Grand Trunk Railway Centre. Organi~ation \Vork -The A sociation has continued energetically to as i t Provincial Councils in the organisation of Centres and Classe , and th re ults are shown in the increases reported. Officials from the Can:l.dian Branch spent some time in the three Prairie Provinces and in Prince Edwar I I land. The vi , it to the latter territory was during the autumn, and as the statistical year of the Association closes on Septem bel' 30, re, ult are not shown in the return. Several cla ses are, howe,'er, now under way in the Garden Province, and others are to follow. In ~ truction to the Troops. - During the past year First Aid instruction in connection with the Canadian Over eas Forces howed a natural decrea e over the previou twelve months, due to the regrettably mailer number of men enlisting, and partly to the lack of opportunity. I t will be recalled that most of the units mobilized in Canada were promptly moved in the spring to eastern concentration points, and then overseas. \Vhile troops were in barracks during the winter, all ranks were g-iven the sp cial Fir -t Aid cour, e proyided by the Association. In a number of instances ih men became so enthusiastic in their appreciation of the value of the training that cla ses were formed and the full syllabus completed, including the examination for certificates. As a result of the introduction of First Aid among the troops in Canada, the policy has been continued overseas, and has become one of the most essential features of the soldiers' efficiency. The Canadian Branch of the t. John mbulance s ociation has received many congratulatory me sage from officers and men at the front, in te timony of the high esteem in which our training is held. Many similar expressions have been conveyed to the As ociation' instructors who were in charge of the work. The Association acknowledges the cordial co-operation of the Department of Militia in our work, and more particularly desires to expres its appreciation to the Director-General of Medical Services for his encouragement and as istance. Sllll1mer Schools for Teachers.-vVhile Normal School students for some years in several provinces have taken First Aid instruction as part of their qualifying training, a commencement was made during the summer in Alberta and British Columbia in giving courses both in First Aid and Horne Nursing in connection with Summer Schools for teachers. Classes were organised at Edmonton and Victoria, and a large percentage of the candidates obtained certificates. During the slimmer of 1918 similar courses will be given at the places mentioned, and the work

2+ will be inaugurat.ed in Summer chools to bc held in tht.: provinces o[ Saskatchcwan ancl Manitoba, at SaskatL10n and vVinnipcg n.:<.;pccLively. Further progress has been made in tht.: introduction of FirsL id studies in Pro\-incial Normal Schools where such had not previou Iy been known, and it is hoped LbaL the Departments of Educalion in all lhe provinces will shortly adopL our course of lecturcs a part o[ thc regular cu rricu Iu m. Study of Hygiene. - Ll:clure courses in thc sludy of Ilome Hygiene were commenccd in 19l6, and an in rease in the number of classes on this subject la ' t year i now reported_ Lack or the <.;implesl hygienic conditions are responsible in many case. [or thl: spread of diseases, and the A sociation is anxious to still further encourage cIasse , as a knowledge of hyg-iene would tcnd to il11provt.: sanitary conditions under which people live, and to a onsiderablc exLent reduce preyentable diseases. Protection from all possible injuries [ro!1l\\'iLh )LIt and within, that may affect the human body, requires vig-ilancc over a very large field. Hygi ne is extensi\-e in its scopc, and, like oLher sciences, has been elaborated and specialised in various branches. There is personal hygiene and public hygiene; the hygiene of infancy and childhood; occupaLional and industrial hygiene; con~trllctive hygiene; and civil, military, and tate hyg-ienc - all of thcse are embraced in the course of study off red by the Association; and the more generally taken up! the more heneficial will be the re~ulh. First Aid in Factories. - Largely due to the efforts o[ the Association, First Aid regulation s ha\'e bcen adopted by thc \Vorkmen'.., Compensation Board of Ontario, making it compulsory [or all ..,tabli..,hments having fifteen or more employee to supply suitable First .\id equipment. Factories or workshops with 300 or morc employees arc rpquired to have a Fir ~ t Aid room filled with beds, amI a completc equipment for the care of tbe sick and injured. Thc regulalions also provide for the attendance of a Doctor or Fir 't Aid graduate in order that the material may be properly used. As a result, industrial establishments throughout Ontario are now taking- an interest in lhc First Aid movement, which will be to the mutual advantage o[ both employer and employee. The Officers in charge of the administration of the Workmen's Compensation Acts in Manitoba, askatchewan, and Alberta h;we now under consideration the adoption of similar regulations. Therl: arc ~10 available statistics in this country on the subject, but fro111 the 1l1formation received from Great Britain it is noted that in 191 +, 178,161 accidents were reported in factories and workshops in the United Kingdom. This number must have greatly increased on account of the war. With the introduction of new occupations, and of employees unaccustomed to the work, particularly in conjunction with the need for speed and pressure, overtime and night work, with the consequent fatigue, greater risk of accident is involved. It is interesting to note, in a memorandum issued by the Briti. h Health of Munition Workers Committee, the comparison with previous years in the increase of accidents, which points to the need for First Aid work. The Committee report that in visiting munition works they were much impressed with the useful part performed by competent nurses, and of the large number of cases of injury or sickness which

receivc lreatment. I n eleven moderately sized factories, employing aboul 35,000 workers, 38,000 surgical dressings were ap!1 lied in the first ten months of 1915, varying in ratio from 19 to 110 per 1,000 employed per month. The data provided frolll another munition factory show that in the auLumn of 191+, when the hours of work \\-e rc from 8 a.lll. to 5.45 p. 111., an average o[ 100 first aid dressings was done at this factory each month per 1,000 employees; in 1915, [or the same period of thc year, wben the hours of work were from S a.m. to 8 p. 111., the average rose to 292; and at night, when the hours of work were [1'0111 8 p. m. to 8 a. m., to 508. These figure ' point to the urgent necessity and value of First id equipment in factories. The Association hopes that attention will be paid to the training- in the essentials of First id of a sufficient number o[ \vorkers Lo provide that in every shop in Canada there shall he at Icast onc or two persons who know how to render First Aid in case o[ accident. E\'c n in establishment where a large number of employees are engaged, and pro\'ision is made for a train ed attendant, it is highly de ' irable that a good proportion o[ the workers s hould have a knowledge o[ amhulancc Illcthods, for the value of First Aid treatment lies in its prompl administration. Han exampk of the advantag-es which follow the .t< irst Aid training oC workmen be requircd, the .\s 'ociation would point to the case of th e railways in Greal Britain. For many year the principal raihyay companies havt.: fostered the acquisition of First id knowledge by all eng-ag-cd in the mO\'ement of tramc, as well as the workshops and permanent \\'ay !:-taff. Tbe fact that to-day the British railways are insislenL upon their tarrs qualifying- in ambulance work, the possession of an ambulance certifica.le being a condition of employment in certain g-rac1es, is cvidence of the value placed upon First Aid training. King', Birthday Honours. - The King's Birthday Honours included several prominent workers of the Canadian Branch of the .\ssociatioI1, and at tbe June meeting of the General Executive COIllmiUee, congratulations were extended to the recipients of these honour from the over ign. Sir George Burn has been Honorary Treasurer of thc Canadian Branch since its organisation in 1910. Sir Augustu Nanton has been Honorary Treasurer of the Manitoba Council since it was starled in 1911. 01. Cha __ A. Hodgetts, C.M.G.,l\I.D.,D.P.H., one of the pionl!cr of the First Aid movement in Canada, has been a member of the General Executive Committee from the beginning. He is Chief Medical Adviser of the Conservation Committee of Canada, but is at present Honorary Canadian Red Cross Commissioner in London. Voluntary Aid Detachments. - The administration of the Voluntary Aid Detachments in Canada, organised by the Association 'ince the commencement of the war, has been transferred to the St. John Ambulance Brigade Oversea. As suggested by the Association, these Detachments have since formed themselves into Nursing Divisions, and as such are proving a great success. The original organisation have done splendid \"'ork in connection with departing troops, and returning sick and "vounded. The popularity of the various Convalescent Homes has been largely due to the efforts of the members of the Detachments who have done duty in them. The members of the

One of the first young women to go over eas, Miss Ali ce Houston, a member of V.A.D.

About 150 trained hospit.al as istants have been ent to England by the Associat.ion and Brigade, and many others are avai lable , hould th ir service, be required. Provincial COllllCils.-M uch of the uccess of the Association is undoubtedly due to the earnest work and co-operation o[ tbe officers of the various Provincial Council , and the General Executive de, ircs to express its thanks for their continued fIort during t.he past year. The pleasant relations existing between the Provincial Councils and the Head Office mean much for the further extension of our energie , and the betterment of conditions. Several Provincial Council ' have adopted the policy of holdin g their annual meetings in alternate cilies, and this should tend to stimulate the inlere ' t of the mcmbers who do not re ide in the city where the Provincial head office is localed. Membership. -No special effort has been made to securc a large membership in the Association, as it was not de ired to compete for subscr iption s during war-time with the Red Cros. Thc regulations f the Association in respectto membership are till the , amc, i. c. , .. It is nol necessary to be a member of the ' ociation in order to tak any of the courses, nor is it necessary to be a certificate-holder in order to be qualified for membership in the ssociation." Now that. our \york is so well known throughout Canada, when the war i ' over there is no re.ason why ou r annual membership should not be large, and the list of L1fe Members considerably increased. ~olice Competitions.-On account of the breaking up, through e.nhstm ent, of many 0f the best Fir t Aid team in Canada, no competitlons have been held since 1913, except Cadet om petition in 1915. The .Gener.al Executive Committee has given the matter very careful cons1deratlOn, and \\!hile the time is not consiciered ripe for rcviving all the competitions as conducted in pre-war days, it is deemed advi ' able to hold competitions for the shielcis generou Iy present.ed by the Rl. Hon. L ord Shaughnessy, President of t.he Canadian Pacific Railway. Members of the forces of the principal cities, as well a the Royal N orthWest Mounted Police, the Dom inion, Provincial, and Railway Police Forces have been faithfully taking the course in First Aid during the past few years, and it is considered that the competition thi year will have a most stimu lati ng effect. The Shields present d by Lord ~h~ughnessy are beautiful specimens of the silversmith' art. One 1S l~tended for Police teams from Eastern Canada; the other, [or ~oltce t~ams from Western Canada. I n orde r to give increased l11terest, 1t h as been decided to offer, as a final Championship Trophy, to. be competed for by the two successful teams, and h eld by the w1.nn er for the year, the beautiful Silver Cup presented as a team pnze to the Association by Dr. F. Montizambert,c.l\f.G.,r.s.o., President 1910-1913. Conditions governing the seve ra l contests have been draw n up and will be immediately communicated to all concerned. If arrangements can be perfected, the winning team in each Division will be brought to Ottawa for the Final tests.

"O ur Day " CollectiOll .-The annual co llection in aid of the funds of the Joint Committee of the British Red Cross Society and the Order of 'L John, was again made throughout t.he Empire, and the sick and wounded soldicrs of the Allied armies will bcnefit through the generosity of the British peoples. Canada, as in past years, was to the fore in this praiseworthy work, and through the efforts of the various patriotic organisations from the Atlantic to the Pacific, 2,3+0,982 dollars were collecled . Of the t.otal amount, Ontario contributed 1,835,000 dollar ; thc ther Provinces, 50S,982 dollar. In 1816 the Ontario collection amounted to 1,680,000 dollars, and the other Provinces 217,000 dollars, or a total of 1,897,000 dollars. These figure show that the Prc\~ inces, outside of Ontario, increased their contributions in 1917 over 1916 by 289,000 dollars, while Ontario's in crea e amounted to 155,000 dollars. It i a record of which anada has rea. on to be proud . The Cana lian Bran h of the Ambulance Department of the Order of St. John once man; took an active part in the campaign by co-operation with the yarious organisation in the different Provinces, by systematic publicity among the mcmbers and friends of the A ' sociation, and, through the ne\\~ spaper , to t.he Canadian people. Se\'eral weeks in advance of the proposed date for the collection, a circular was sent out from Headquarters at Ottawa, calling the attention of members of the Association and the public generally to the continuous increase in the work of the Red ross in evcry theatre of war in three continents, and the imperatiyc need of sustained effort to secure further financial aid. The circular also set forth facts about the activities of the Joint vVar Committce, showing the work which had been done abroad and in the Motherland. Over seven and a half million dollars has been spent in Franc, Belgium, Italy, Ea t Africa, Serbia and Montenegro, Rumania, M sopotamia, India, Egypt, alonika, i\lalta, th Near East, and Russia. Eight million dollars ha been spent on surgical dres sing , hospital equipment and nc essaries . Hospital trains ha\'e been built and operated in France, and a hospital ship ent to ~Ie opotamia. In the 10therland, fifty-seven thousand hospital beds have been established, and thirly t.housand of these provided with a Nur ing taff, Curative \i\ ork. hop ' , Facial Injury Ho pitals, and innumerable Red Cross dulics carried on, which has cost considerable .

Monthly meetings have been well attended and two concerts ha\'e been held with great success.

During tIle past year the interest in Ambulance work and the desire for instruction in First Aid and Home Nursing has been well maintained, t.he figures shewing an increase on the previou year, and it is satisfactory to note that a large number of persons have gone in for re-examination, thus shewing their continued interest in these valuabie subjects. The figures for the year ending 30th September, 1917, are as follo\\'s-In First Aid 3S classes were held, 30 being for women and 5 for men j 1,00-1- were instructed and 436 were aVlarded certificates, and o[ those who entered for re-examination 164 obtained Medallions and 1S0 Labels , In Home Nul' ing 21 classes were held, 520 received instruction, 332 obtained certificates and 66 were re-examined in this subjecL and obtained Pendants.

great that those in use in Great Britain [or New Zealand soldier had to be diverted to France, and our ambulances first helpe I to fl11 the gap. Several of the large technical schools in our centre have put I-< ir ~ t id and Home Nursing on the syllabus, and have large cla ses. The \Vomen's National Reserve in "Vellington and other places have carried out classes under our regulations. Owing to ill-health Mr. . P. Powles tendered his resignation as chairman and treasurer in November, 1916, which wa received with much regret, an I Mr. E. Balcombe Brown was elected chairman in his stead. the year -+7 classes have been held in all part of the State, 757 sitting for examinations o[ whom 677 secured qualifying certificates. Included in the laLLer are 216 members who have maintained a practical interest in the work o[ the Association by further qualifying for Vouchers, Medallion and Labels. During the year, the benefit of the Association have been trikingly manifested . At a motor accident in lay la t in .\dclaide Terrace, Perth, there were no less than eight per on killed in First Aid on the scene of the accident within forty seconds. Three of the occupants escaped asphyxiation by this prompt att ntion. During the recent serious railway catastrophe on the Midland Line, in which three persons were killed and thirteen others seriou ly injured, a railway officer having First Aid qualification rendered remarkable sen ice in relieving the agony of the victim under inde cribable condition of flood and darkness . A third instance, probably crcates an incident unique in the annals of First id \'Vork. At a distance of oyer 1, 00 miles from Perth, in the wildest and roughest country of Australia, a bushman met with a serious accident. On particulars recei\'cd, and instructions given by various gentlemen oyer the telegraph wire, the Postmaster performed succes fully, an operation which relieved the victim from intense agony. Only the Fir t Aid knowledge which the Postmaster had acquired, made it po ible for this act to be performed. It is with pleasure that the Council record that it receiyed during the year from the Head Centre, London, an expre sion of its gratification of the rapid strides made by the Association. The Council donated £30 to the Head Centre as a tangible-though 111a11recognition of the gigantic war work which the ociation is performing. The Council begs to record its regret at the loss of the services of our late Governor, Sir Harry Barron, K. c. M. G., C. v. o. and Lady Barron. His Majesty the King has been graciously pleased to recognise the services of Sir Harry by creating him a Knight of Grace of the Order. The Council desire to record its regret on the death in action of the late Captain Teague, whose medical services were so frequently and readily at its call. The annual public demonstration was held in St. George's Hall on the 6th December 1916, in the presence of His Excellency Sir Harry Barron, K. c. M . G., C. v. o. Interesting addresses were delivered by the President, Dr. H. G. Tymms and by His Exce ll ency the Governor.

Report of the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief of Nursing Corps and Divisions. SIR, I have the honour to

ubmit my Report for the ycar ending 1917.

In the course of the year 1917 I in:p cted the following' Nursing Divisions: No. II. District.-Rushmore Nursing- Di\'i, ion. No. IV. District. - Preston Corps -Preston, Barton and J; 1..11\\'ood Nursing Division, Leyland Nursing Di\'ision, Penwortham i ur. ingDivision, Preston Co-operative Nur ing Divi ion, Preston High chool Nursing Division, Walton-Ie-Dale Nursing- 1\" 1 IOn. No. IX. District.-Plymouth Nursing Di,·i ' ion. I had the pleasure of visiting many of the Tursing Di"isioll , in No. IV. District accompanied by the Lady District llperintendenl, Mrs. Tweedale, and saw the members at work in their various V.:\. D. Hospitals. We visited Rochdale V .. \. D. Hospital of 300 heds, of which Mrs. Tweedale is the Matron. This ho pital is exceedingly, Tell organised, and most economically run, only 2s. per bed "Val' Office grant being drawn. This is the lowest grant I have heard of being drawn in any Brigade V.A.D. hospital during- 1917. We then visited the following hospitals :-Castieton V. , . D. IIospital, Rochdale; St. John V.A.D. Hospital, Radcliffe; Drill Hall Hospital, Radcliffe; St. John V. A. D. Hospital, Bolton; Mos Bridge Hospital, Darwen; Public Hall Hospital, Haslingden; Baxenden Hospital, Accrington; Elmfield Hospital, Accrington; Barraclough Hospital, Clitheroe; Lingholm Hospital, Keswick, Stranmongate Hospital, Kendal; St. John Auxiliary Hospital, M orecambe; The Barracks Hospital, Lancaster; Moor Park Hospital, Preston; The Grange Hospital, Southport; Woodlands Hospital, Southport; Myrtle V. A. D. Hospital, Liverpool.

INSPECTIONS.

Everywhcre I was much struck by the excellent work being done by the members of the Brigade and by the praise Matrons invariably gave them. In some of tbe hospitals the members not only do the cooking but bake all the bread. I sbould like to make special mention of the Barracks Hospital, Lancaster, where Miss Garnet, Lady Superintendent of the LunesdaJe Nursing Division, is doing the mo t useful work. Before sbe took over the bospital tbe duties were done entirely by Orderlies, but now the Commanding Officer so much appreciates Miss Garnet's zeal and that of her members that the work is left to them. She has al ' o done a great deal towards refurnishing the ward and giving it an appearance of greater comfort. On 23rd ] une, I visited Gifford House Hospital, Roehampton. On 30th October I was present at the Newton Abbot Hospital, when His Royal Highness The Duke of Connaught, Grand Prior of the Order, in pected the hospital, wbich now contains 100 bed. His Royal Highness, on arrival at Newton bbot Station, was recei\'ed by the Bailiff of Egle of the Order, Sir Herbert Perrott, by the eputy ommls loner of the Di trict, Dr. Grimbly, and the County Director, Mr. Davi . Nine member have been posted to the Brigade Hospital in France during the year from the following Districts-1., ETAPLES. IV., VI., VII I., XI1. The following members on service at the Brigade Ho pital have been made Honorary Serving Sisters of the rder of t. John, and were decorated by the Director of the mbulance Department in December at the ho pital- Nur ing Si ter C. Owen, Nursing ister V. Collett, both of Kensington Nursing Division. 1\ r was unable to vi it the ho pital myself my staff officer, Miss I\fylne, a . my repre entati\'e, went out there last December, and brought back a mo t satisfactory account of the way our Brigade members are working. he also reported on the new chapel, which i. be ing more and more appreciated, the building and equipment costing £372. s.9d. This wa collected in a fortnight from the date of sanction being granted for it erection. The chapel was dedicated on the 16th November by the Right Rev. Bishop Gwynne, Bi hop of Khartoum (Depuly haplain General). BRICADE

NOSPITAL,

The Depot (for the bo pital) at Halkyn House, Belgrave Squar ,ba done admirable work during the year, o\'er 70,970 clre 'sings and bandage haying been despatched. Fir t Aid and Home NUL int; lasses have been held at the depot with the result that many of the workers have now obtained both their certificates and have joined the Brigade. DEPOT.

They have made 9,790 attendances. and again we hear from the Matrons that they have been extremely satisfied with the work done, one of the Matron making the following remark-" We have found them so u eful, and they have been without exception some the nicest women I have ever met, and have the true nursing spirit." The calls for these members are incessant, but they are always ready to come forward and as ist whenever possible. I have been greatly assisted in my work by my Staff Officer, Miss Mylne, who has detailed the members for the work in the different Civil Hospitals, besides a sisting in every way in ber power; also by Nursing Officer Miss Letbbridge, Nursing Sister Mi Deane, Nursing Sister The Hon.

THE

DEPUTY COMMISSIONER. St. John's Gate, Clerkenwell, E. C. 1. ir, September 30th, 1917. I have lhc honour to submit my repo l'!_ for the year ended September 30,1917. In spilc f more men being r eq uil' ed for the army, and the fact that a large proportion of our nurse is conlinually engaged in hospitals or on war work of so~e kind, lhc Dislrict has been able at the request of the Police to carry out public st rect duly morc [I'cquently lhan even in peace times, many of the occasions for public trect duly ari ing out of circumstances connected with the wal'. . I am glad lo report that the police authorities have on more than one occaSIOn, exp ressed lheir enlire sali faction with lhe way in which the public street duty has been organized and carried out. The following al'e some of the occasions upon which public duty has been perform cd ; Novcmber 9, 1816. Lord Mayor's Day. January 19,1917. Munilions Explosion in the East of London. Februal'y 7, 1917. Opening of Parliament. Februal'Y 15, 1917. \Var Loan Meeling in Trafalgar Square. February 23, 1917. King's visit to the city. pril 20, 1917. King's visit to t. Paul's Cathedral. Junc 2, 1917. Royal Investiture in Hyde Park. July 29, 1917. Hyde Park Demonstration. August 15, 1917. American Troops march through London. In connection wilh the duty undertaken on Lord l\Iayor's Day a letter was rec ived [rom Sir William Nott Bower, Commissioner of the City Police, thanking the Brigade for its services. On January 19th, 1917, a severe explosion occurred at a l\Iunitions '\forks in the East end of London. I got into commun icalion by telephone with the Officer in Chal'ge of a Nursing Division in the neighboudlood of the explosion, and asked her to proceed with a motor car and such appliances as he could readily collect, to the scene of the explosion. Excellent work was done by this Officer and by other members of the Brigade who were attracted by the sound of the cXJ.!losion.

burning buildings to fetch out bodies of persons who mayor may not have been alive, his clothes were practically destroyed, and spontaneous testimony was furnished by otber members of the Brigade, who witnes ed his most pl"aiseworthy efforts to render help. Subsequently their Majesties th King and Queen visited the scene of the explo ion, and ongratulated our men on duty on the work they had done. H would be difficult, and indeed not in the public inte rest to g ive anything lik e an adequate account of the work done by members of the staff on the occasion of ail" raids. During the past twelve months, as i well known, there hav bee n many sel"ious air raids in the London area, both by day and by night, resulting in a considerable numbe r of people being killed and injured. Th e e rvices of our members both men and women, have been placed at the disposa l of the police, their names being registered and arrangements mad fOI" them to remain at police stations whenever a warning i' given and a large amount of work has been don e in dealing with casualties, by the t. John Ambulance Brigade in all parts of London. On one occa ion a building had been struck by a bomb, and the oroner inve ligating the cause of death, referred publicly in terms of praise to the work the St. John memb ers were doing, and said he was proud himself to ha\' some connection with such a good organisation. Sir Edward Henry, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Polic , is ued the folio\\'ing letter of thanks:This being the last day of the present y ar the Commissioner of police takes the opportunity of bearing special tt"ibute to the most valuable servic es rendered to the community by membe rs of the t. John mbul ance Association and Brigade, the British Red Cross Soc iety and other First Aid and Transport Associations, who since the outbreak of war have never failed to ass mbl e in adequate numbers to render succour to the "i ct ims of air I"Clid attacks. At great inconvenience to themselve , in all weathers and at all timcs of the day and night, th ey have, on being summoned, a embled promptly and have I' ndered aid with skill and efficiency whenever their ministration ha\'e been require d. The Commissioner has no hesitation in te tifying to the unanimity and warmth of public appreciation of th e services thu rend ered , and he \\'ill b' grateful to the various organisations if they will convey to all th eir members th' I-lome Secretary's cordial r ecognition of their valuable work. I would direct your attention to the very excellent work which all ranks in the London Distl"ict have done, and don sometime. in c ircum tances whiL'h "ntai l con.siderable risk to their own lives, wh e n going out without the slightest hesitation dunng hea\'y and dangerou s barrage firing, to treat cases. In August last the Direc tor of the mbulance Dq)artment, the Earl of R anfu rly . handed oyer to the o. I. District at L John' Gate, a Ford ;"[0tor Ambulance. which had been presented by the Showm en's Guild. This Ambulance has turned out on each occasion of public street duty, and for air raids, a nd has been instrumental in conveying a number of patients to their hom e or to hospital . It has been customary at certain periods of the month, when a ir raids scem likely to occur, to keep a few men on duty at St. John's G ate. Bv the kindlles of the Director of the Ambulance Department, a few steel helm ets ,,:e re prO\'ided [or the usc: of this staff. I regret it has not been possi ble, owing to th gr 'at expense, to eqUIp the members of the District generally, with steel h elme ts, but some assistance is obtained from the local poli ce by members who a re r gistered [or air raid work with the police. In addition to the work done by members who report at Police Stations, local Amb.ulance Stations, and Ambulance Stations of the London County Council, a conSIderable amount of work is done at various Tube Shelters, Railway Arches, etc, .where dense crowds assemble, and the services of our Tursing isters arc specIally valuable, a large number of minor and s ome serious cases being dealt with. ~he U.nder&,round Rail:nay Officials and the Special Constables have expressed theIr satIsfactIon and gratItude for the services rendered by our members. In consequence of several daylight air raids, whe n central London i d e nsely crowded with people engaged in business, arrangements have bee n mad to deposit stores, such as stretchers, haversacs, etc, at central spots in the city and for some of our members to alt~nd at these stations when an air raid warning is gi\'en . I have arranged WIth Lady Coope r of the City of Loudon Red Cross Society that there shall be no overlapping between our members, and those of the BI"iti~l~ Red Cross Society, in the city area.

I have t he honour to report that the work in the District for the year ending September, 1917, although carried out und er very adverse circumstances, has been well and effici ntly performed. . . Th transport of civilians suffering [rom accident or sickness to hospItal o~ ~helr homes has been undertaken by the older mcn who are by age unfit for military cluties, and <tlthollgh this work has in many cases entailed a large amount of extra duty, it has been mo t " 'illingly perform ed . . In con cquence o[ mililary requirements, the ranks of the Bngade have been furthcr dcplcted during the year. The vacancies have, however, been ~lled by new members joining the Nur ing Divisions, and afterwards. the St. John V.A.Ds., and by mcn who, by r a on of being over age or from other c lrcur~stances,.are prevented from joining the Army, with the [-esult that there has been an Il1crease 111 the number of members of lhe Brigade in the District. . . .. . . Thc ' t. John Auxiliary Military Ho pltals 111 the Dlstnct have Il1cre<l:s~d 111 number, and se\"eral of them have been enlarged during the year. In additIOn to the ci\ilian tran p rt work, the energ ies of the members hav.e been devoted to carrying oul \ '. A. D. duties; and, from the ~eports I have recelve~, I h.a\"e every rea on to believe that the work has been admirably done, to the satisfactIOn of the :\lilitary and l\' a \ al aulhorities, and to the benefit of the sick and wounded. I wish to put on record my high apprcciation of th~ onerous duti~s ca[-ried outfir t, by the members of my own staff, 'who almost \vlthout exceptIon. are engaged in carrying" out the duties of either ount}' or Assistant County Directors; and secondly, by all ranks. And of the hearty and unselfish manner in which they have pcrformed ('very duty call, not only in the daytime, but constantly for transport work at night, and for air-raid duly on many occasions. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, T. HENRY WOOLSTON, Knight of Grace of the Order of St. J obn of Jerusalem, The Chief Commissioner. Deputy Commissioner No. III. District.

REPORT OF THE DEPl'TY COl\1:'II

I01'ER. 1st Jalluary, 1918.

SIR, In the ab ence of the Deputy Commi ioner, who is in command of the t. John Ambulance Brigade Hospital in France, I have the honoul' to submil a reporl for the year ending 31st December, 1917. The strength of the District now consi. ts of 143 Ambulance unit, with a strength of 7,396, and 113 ul'sing units, with a strength of 3,9 ; altogether, 11,36-1-. A large majority of the members of the Brigade are away on service, most o[ them in the :l \Iedical Services of the avy and l\rmy; and il is plea ing to note that a number of decorations and awards have bpen earned by men from this District. The Bredbury and Romiley Division in pal,ticular eem to ha\'e done very well in this respect. Nearly all the men and nurses at home have joined \'oluntar), Aid Detachments, and are actively engaged in the transport work and Auxiliary :'.Iilitary IIospitals. As all Voluntary Aid Detachments are under the control of th COllnty Directors, I cannot give any particulars of this side of the wode Public duty has been undertaken on val'ious occasions during the yeal', in particular for the visit of Their Majesties the King and Queen to certain lIospitals in the vVestern Command, in l\Iay, 1917. The Deputy Director of :'.-Iedical l rvices, \Vestern Command, expressed the approval of the General Officer Commanding in Chief of the efficient manner in which the work is carried oul, and his lhanks [or the assistance given. The services of the Brigade have also been required in connection with explosions at m unition works in Lancashire. T he me~bel-s of the Ashton-under-Lyne and Dukinfield Ambulance and NUl'sing Divisions, and other neighbouring units, rendered valuable assi tance under the control of Divisional Superintendent Hall, whose arrangements were excellent. t\ fm'ther explosion occurred in Torth Lancashil e later in the year under notice. U nits from Lancaster, Morecambe, Blackpool, Fleetwood, and Kendal attended in case their services were required, but fortunately the casuallies were very slighl. Separate reports on these occurrences have already been submitted to you . I am in communication 'with the Chief Constable of the County of Lancashire, with a view to the organisation of the supply of Ambulance and material fo r accidents of this nature. Var ious units of the Brigade have turned out [or duty on the occasion of air raids and anticipated air raids.

D ISTRI CT .

Du ring t he year a seco nd appeal was made to the District by the Deputy Commiss ioner, for funds in aid of the B r igade Hospital. I am pleased to say that a sum of £12,400 has been reported as collected to date, but the r esults have not yet all come to hand . This is indeed an excellent response, and reflects great credit on those concerned with its collection. Of this sum, the Manchester Special Police collected £'9,676. o inspections have been held during the year. I have the ho nour to be, Sir, Your obedient Ser vant,

For many weeks, day and night, continuous relays of men were on this duty. One member lost his life, and se\'er-al had to be brought into the fresh ail- and have aid rendered to them. uperinten<..ient Riley in this connection did good service, and all ranks worked magnificently.

LIFFE,

BEADLE, STC KE-o:-i-TRF:>IT, 30th 'e ptember, 1917.

S IR, I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending 30th 'c ptembel-, 1917. Three new Corps, thirteen new Ambulance Divisions, and fourteen new :\'ur -ing Divisions, have been formed during the y ar. I regret my in ability to state the actual strength of my District, consequent upon the non-receipt of many returns, but I estimate t hat it is not less than 13,182. Again the annual inspection of Corps and Divi ions has been excu ed under the authority of the Chief Commissioner; but a considerable number 0 \ isits ha\'e been made, and I am pleased to report that those of the Lady Di strict 'uperintendent have been much apprec iated by the Di\'i ions, and have been of marked value to me in maintaining my NUl-sing Divisions in a high state of efficien cy . The annual re-examinations have had my careful consideration, and I have now placed the matter in the hands of my Distri ct Surgeon. aptain Montague is affording every assistance, and advising the Divisions and making the nece ary arrangement for giving full effect to the n ew regulations. I regret to report that the total casualties during the war to date amount to 121. The following awards have been gained during the year :Distinguished Service Order. .. 1 Order of the British Empire... 2 Military Cross 2 Distinguished Conduct Medal 1 Military Medal 16 Meritorious Service Medal 1 Mentioned in Despatches .. , 7 Forty-nine Service Medals and six Bars have been granted to membe r-so Additional to my figures of last year, 85 member-s have gone on active service through the R oyal Naval Auxiliary Sick Berth Reser-ve, and 77 ursing Sisters have

I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending September 30th, 1917. The total membership is 11,651, consisting of 7,595 member of Ambulance and 4,056 mcmber of ~lIrsing Di\'i ion, representing an increase of -+20 members, or 3'75 per cent. on the total of 1916. Thn'!e Ambulance and thirteen ursing Divisions ha"e been formed during the year, and thl'ee Ambulance and two Nur ll1g Divisions ha\'e ceased to be effective, an d have been struck off the roll. It is plea ing to record the fact that continuecl energy is being shown in the Tees District in the Brigade. Haverton Hill and Di trict and the Stockton and Thornaby Divisions have b en lhe result. The l\Iorpeth Division is composed largely o[ chemists. Considel"able difficulty has been experienced in obtaining the reports and returns [I"om Divisions, on account of the int rruption in Brigade work, due to the war. i\f embers left in charge of Divisions have in turn been call d up for service at hod notice, and many DiviEions were so depl'ted of members that it was impos ible to carry on rL~gular drills or practices.

I have the honour to ubmit my Annual Report for the year ended 30th eptember, 1917. ne nl' \\' Divi ion has been registered during the year-the ewport Fir Brigade Divi ion a nd the strength of the District has been increased by 88. Some Di\'isions have been nearly d e pleted by the operation of the Military Sen'ice . \cl , and some difficulty has been experie nced in obtaining the annual returns . The District has lost by death two valued Officers: Staff Officer Dr. Griffith, of Port madoc, \\'ho died on ~Iilitary en'ice a nd Div. urgeon]. F . Neville of l\'"ewport. Several N.C.O ·s and pri\'a t es have made the supreme sacrifice in the sen'ice of their country. One Offi c er has been awarded the Military Cross and two N. C. O's ha\-' r 'ci\'e d the l\Iilitan' Medal and the D.C.M . Inspection ha\'e been held at hrewsbury, Oswestry \ Velshpool, Newport, Pontypool and Pontnewydd for the units in tho e areas, which ha\'e been found in a highly efficient stall'. l\t hre\\'sbury Inspection, e rvice medals were presented to Lady ' upt. lis Poll and l\'ursing Officer l\1i s Dixon, and the Lord Lieulenant of the Country presented the decoration of Royal Red Cross to Corps Lady upt. l\liss C.

Oth e rs have acted as Orderlies at V. A. D. lIo;pitals. Se\'l~ r-al thousand patients have been treated in the Auxiliary 1\Iilitary Ho pitals of this Di tri c t which are administere d by " ' omen's \'. A.Ds. formed by the Brigade.

I espccially desire to express my apprec iation of the work of those members of Nursing Di\'i ions who are engaged in the administration of Auxiliary Hospital, and of tho e m mber of Ambulance Divisions \vho ungrudgingly have given up so much of lheir time in the tmnsport of the si c k and wounded. The Deputy ommissioner (Col. urelon ) wishes me to put on record his high appre c iation of th e cheerful manner in whi c h all ranks have lalTied on their duties during the war.

September 30th 1917. JR,

I beg to submit my report for the year nding eptcmbel- ~Ot h, 19 17. During lhe year one :\"ursing Division-Graye send-has be.::n formed. It i - lo be regrdted that the losses thmugh death numbel- nine, including Corp. uperinlendent 1. \' cni , of thc I Ie of Thanet Corps (who had s rved the Brigade assiduously [or twenty-one year), and ight Army casualties- Private F. Hills, R. A.1\!. . Bri~hlon peciai ollstables \ Corpol-al G. Locke, Rifle Brigade (Hastings ), Privale A. E. Dorey and A. E. Davis {Red hill ) . a nd Corporal F. Foster, 1st Life Guards, Private . E. Branche tl, 7th Buffs, R. S. F. Horn, RA. I.C. , R. H. O\yen, R .. \.l\I. ., all belonging to the Boughton Di"ision. The gallant conduct of Pri, ate Owen would undoubtedly have received recognition bad he ?urvi\'l~ d. Many more member have joined Hi Majesty's Forces, thus depletion 1. gr ater lhan before, but energelic step are generally being taken to increase the strength. One orp with a nomin a l roll of over one hundred has now only sixteen memb e r a,"ailable for duty. Ores ing', lalions ha\'e been maintained, and many additional ones e tablished and equipped in all the large towns in lhe District. Moto~- am~ulances have been of the greatest ,'alue, and lilt' Irtrgel- Divisions are in pos es Ion of one at least. Military Medal for gallant conduct ha\'c been awarded to Corporal \ V . G. Locke (whose death ha been refelTed to), Pri,'ale L. A. . J one, R :\.[\1. C . (Hastings), and Private "-. Dadd , R.G.A . (Dover). A \'. A , D. was asked by the military authorities to supply the whole of the General Service (aff for a new Iilital-Y Hospital of 2,000 beds. This was accomplished in less than ten days. The ten St. John Auxiliary Hospitals in the Di trict have been maintaincd as before during the year, providing beds for 850 patients. During' the year l\liss Clemente has b en "mentioned" for he r wo r k at the Military Ilospital, eaford; and Mrs. A. Moe re (Folkestone) has been awarded the Li,fe Saying Me dal of the Order of St. John for her devotion to duty during an air raid . All ranks now at home are engaged in the relief of the sick and wounded. and nearly all are members of Voluntary Aid Detachments. I cannot but expre s my app l:eciat ion of the patl-iotic way in which lhe objects of the Brigade have been calT~ed oul. The self-sacrifice which has bee n exhibited by all i a g od earnest of contll1ued S\lccess. f

THE

DEPUTY

C01\IMISSIOi\;ER.

ST. EDMuND'S, FELIXSTOWE, IR, 31st December, 1917 . I have the honour to . ubmit the following as my repot't for the year ending 31st December, 1917. During- the latter part of the year I have experienced many difficulties in collecting the r(,porl and annual return from lhe various Corps and Divisions in the District. Thi lo a greal exlent a 'counts for the delay in sending in lhe report. otwith. tanding the absence of many of the ecretaries on active ervice, with two or three exception, complete slatistics have now been received, which show the strength of the DiSlrict has been well maintained, and th e progress satisfactory. TI1('t-C has be 'n a further increase in the s trength of the Brigade in the District. ~Ianv new Fir t .\id Clas es have been held, in order to obtain fresh recruits to fill the places of tho c \\'ho have had to join the c olout' , A large new ursing Division has be n fonned in Lo\\'esloft, and with the help of lhe l\Iayor a substantial fund was t'a ised, by which lhe Men's Ambulance Divi ion were fitted out with complete new quipment. The work ot the Tursing Di\'ision has been most satisfactory. The majority of the :\'ursillg Officer and isters have given their sen' ices in organising and staffing the :t. John. Red ros, and ilIilitat-y Hospitals, and those who have devot d thcmseh'es to \'oluntary _\iu Detachment work have earned the thanks of the ounly Oil' etory.

.\RDIFF.

24th July, 1918. SIR, I have the honour to ubmit m} report of the work done hy th Brigade in this District for the year 1917. I regret that a large number of Divisions ha\'c not sent in their r('ports, which is due to so many of the officers and m ell being on service. The past t wclvl' monthc; has been perhaps the most trying period since the COll1menCl' Jl1ellt of the war. Everything possible has been done to meet thc demands of the l\lilitary Authorilies for additional hospital accommodation, and we now have establi. hL'u ill outh \\'al ' S eight hospitals, staffed by membel- of the Brigade and \-olulltary Aid D ta hmcnts. The largest of the e ho pitals is that at Porthcawl, with an accommodation of two hundred beds, and the smallest Penarth with forty-one beds. Our Barry and Penarth Hospitals deal more particularly with Garri on troop, and have proved themselves invaluable to the l\Iilitary .\uthoritie. . Arrangcm nt are being made for a transport service for thc whole of the Coal Fields, to comply with the General Regulations under the Coal lines ct 1911, and we now have a fleet of cars with an adequate staff to deal with thi and the transport of wounded trom the rail way stations to the several ho pi tal , et C. The 130th St. John Field Ambulance, which is compo ed of m n from this District, has covered itself with glory in France, and Colonel John E. II. Davies has recentlv received the D.S.O., and one Military CI-OS ,one Croix de Guerre, and le\'e~ Military Medals have beeu won by the rank and filE'. His Majesty has been pleased to appoinl one of our Commandants an Officer of the British Empire, and several ladies have been mentioned by the ' eel-elary of State for War for services rendered. Eight new ursing Divisions and sevel-al Ambulance Divisions have been formed, and it is gratifying to know that all our members are wOI-king to lheir fulle t capacity, with the membel-s of lhe British Red Cro s oci ty in a friendly way for the common good. I wish to express my sincere thanks lo my Staff, Corps and Divisional Officers (Ambulance and ursing) for the help which they have given me during lhe last twelve months, which has been invaluable. I have the honour to he, Sir, Your obedient servant, HERBERT LEW! . The ChiE'f Commissioner.

The recoru of the work uone by the Di"isions under lily command is mainly of P cd Cross <tcti,itie", the "ariol! organisation \\'orking under the Joint ocielies having larg-t'ly l'xtenut'u their effort ill ,arious ways, calling for a greater number of help rs and consequently absorbing practically every mE'mber of the Bl'igade in the District. I cannol ~pe(lk to) higbl~ of the de\ OLion hO\\,11 by the men and women of lhe Brigade, who ha\e in many ca"cs made large sacrifices to render efficient service. The lIumeri cal .,trcn~th of the Divisions of the Distri t has steadily inueased and l hE' following n('\\ unit ha\'c been formed and approved during the year: Ambl!lallcl'- :-\orth itYi Sibthorpe 's i Rugby "Cnion. :'\ursing Inchicorci Taylor's Hilli GI nageal-Y· The total number of Divisions now is-30 Ambulance anu ..)

John in France, Russia, and Rumania. \\'itb regard to those who are serving with the RA.:U.C. and R.:-\.A. . B.R I may mention that the men of three Di"i ion who went on service in August and September, 191-+, are now serving in every theatre of war, and practi 'ally every man has received promotion, an evidence that they are upholding the traditions of the Brigade. Of lhe 0:ursing Di\'i ion about 500 ursing Sisters are sen'i ng in Mililary Ho pitals at 110111(> and abroad, and the following I am proud to say ha"e bl'cn commended for \\'ar n'ice b,' the ecretarv of StateLady Corps uperintendel{t l\Irs.

AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

Splint \\'orks, and various other branches of Rcu ems \Vode absorb the rest of our members. There are about 700 of OUI" members available for transport work between Dublin, Belfast, ami Cork, and the entin:! transport service has been brought to a high pitch of excellence. ' urgeon-General ir Richard Foru, K.C.i\LG., the D.D.l\I. . Irish Command has frequently inspected this work upon th' an"ival of conyoys, and the following communication ha recent Iv been received [rom him: "Surgeon-Genend Sir"Pichard Ford, D.n.M.S., Irish Command, desires to thank Dr. Lumsden and all ranks of o. 12 District, t. John Ambulance Brigade, [or their services at the :'\orth \Vall, disembarking sick and wounded from llospital ships, and to record his admiration ror their devoted services. lIe also desir to expres hi deep appreciation of the services of the ladies of the St. John Ambulance Brigade." A feature which has added to the comfort of the wounded men and is much appreciated is the pl'ovision of a temporary buffet at the unloading point on arrival of Hospital ship. This is managed by one o[ our Lady orps Officers who has given a great amount of time to this work. In addition to the convoys of woundeu, our members are frequently called upon to rend er service to small parties of partially convalescent men arriving and departing from the principal cities and towns, and a great deal of useful and excellent service has been done in thi way. Transfers of wounded from various places often call for the help of our men and women, sometimes at very short notice. In addition, the ordinary peace work of the Brigade has been carried on, and at the num erous fetes, exhibitions, race meet ings, concerts, etc, which have b en held during the pa t year in aid of the many war organisation our members have done duty. On the 16th J a nuary at the Royal Dublin '0 i ty 's Lecture Theall"e, Dublin, ir HeIl1"y BI<tke, G.C.i\LG., JTnight of Justice of the Order, presented the medals and certificates of honour awarded by the Ol"der of l. John to the members of the Brigade who had displayed gallantry during the inn Fein Rebellion in 1916. At Galway and Queenstown exceptionally good work has been done by the members of the Divisions in attending and transporting survivor from torpedoed ships. This involves the attendance of the n1(>n both day and night, and the treatment, in many cases, of severe injuries, and it is a matter for sati fa tion that Units of the Brigade hav > been given the opportunity by the Naval and l\Iilitary Authorities, of affording help and a sisting to mitigate, in some manner, the suffering caused by submarine warfare. It is hoped that the coming Brigade year will see a further widening of inLerest and even more activity especially in new paths of en·ice. The r cent pcrmi sion given to our members to study ocial Economic, Food and Dietary, lIygicn , and Child \Vel fare, ...with a view to engaging in these forms of social \Yol"k should re. ult in a greater extension of the Brigade in Ir 'land. To my District Superintendent and talT, Corps and Di\'isi nal Officer., I ow(' more than I can exp r e s in mere words for their unfailing loyalty and splendid services. I have the honour to be, ~ir, Your obedient sen'ant, J. LC;\tSDEN, Knight of Grace of the Order of ' l. John o[ J erLisalcl11 in Eng-land. Deputy Commissionel" No. XII. ( Iri sh Di tril' t.

Report of Chief Commissioner for Brigade Over cas, 1st October, 1915, to 31st December, 1917. My

LORD,

The last full report which I ren ler d to your Lordship of the work of the Brigade O,-erseas was for the two years ending 30th eptember 1915, and as I explained at the time, the great pressure due to the war rendered it practically impossible [or the OYersea. Di: tricts to keep their record and returns as regularly and concisely as in ordinary times, and even had they been able to do so, ,vat JIeadquarl rs could not ha,'e properly cop d with the compilation owing to the iIl1men~e amount of work which the war ha brought to the offi -ials at 'l. John's Gate. Therefore, with your Lorcbhip's apprm al I contented myself with a very much abridg d report for the year 191 b which was published with that of the Chapter-General for 1917. J feel, bo"ev 1', that it is only fair to those loyal and enthu iastic oflicers of the Briga I o ,'e r...,eas, who have not pared tbemselYes, and ba,-e maintained tb\,;ir commands efficient, and in many ca es afford ed yaluable help to the Empire, that I should endeavour to report mor fully this year as to the work of the last two years, which I am glad to say hews sati...,factor J de,-elopmenL and efficiency. Even now, owing to the frequent des tru ction f steamer carrying the mails, much corre pondenc ha . . been lost and, J fear, in many cases, valuable information may ha\'e gone to the bottc m r the ~l:a which would otherwise have been incorporat d in the rl.:purt. In . ome districts the increase in membership ha-; been remarkabl ' and \\ ill be duly chronicled in the proper place. It will suffice now to say that almost without exception th Di<..,lricts have vied with each other in loyal o-operation ,,-ith the :'\Iilitary Medical uthorities and in e,' ry local organization and efTort f)r gi\ ingpersonal service and collecting funds for the ick, ,,,ounded and pri oner'> of war, by means of working parties, entertainment~ and ' treet collection...,; also in arranging for the comfort of the troop both \\'hen d parting for and returning from the front. The . elf sacrifice anel de"otion uni\'ersally exhibited on all sides cannot be too fully praised. I k ep on impressing on the officers in charge of Di tricts that they should not allow any interesting or important fact in connection with their personnel or di~trict to go unrecorded. This is naturally ea~ier to order than it is to execute, because of the frequent change of staff due to the exigencies of the war, but all are doing their best to comply. I have received from the Deputy Commis ioner in Canada a graphic description of the terrible disaster of 6th December, 1917, by ,,'bich a large part of the beautiful city of Halifax, Nova cotia, wa destroyed, with immense loss of, and injury to, life, owing to the colli ion of two steamers in the harbour, one of which was loaded with high explosive. Strictly speaking, this occurrence would not have come into the chronicle of events for 1917, because the Brigade year has hitherto ended on September 30th of each year. This year, hov,:ever, it ha been decided that the Brigade year shall be from the 1 t January to 31st December following, and I am adopting this course for 1917.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF COM;\lISSIONEH.

J am glad, therefore, of the opportunity of drawing your Lords?ip's attention to the extraordinary strain which this disaster, all 10 a moment, imposed on the resourcefulness and physical po:vers .o~ ~he Brigade in Nova Scotia, especially the flalz/ax Central Nurszllg Dzvzszon, and to the magnificent manner in which the members rose to the occasion. I am sure that when your Lordship and the members of the . mbulance Committee read the modest reports of District Superintendent Harris and the Lady uperintendent, Mrs. MacIntosh, which are given in full on pages 14-17, you will agree with me that the eve~t is one of which we must all feel proud, and which should be speCIally brought before the Council in order that the Grand Prior and ChapterGeneral may take notice of it. . It can only be due to the all-absorbing intere t in the war that thls record of heroi!:>m and devotion, 5hm\ n at so terrible and unexpected a juncture by a small body of highly trained but simple and unassuming citizens should have remained unrecorded for so long. One important f ature which deserves special notice, a it is a new d parture since the date of the last report, is the number of V. A. D. members on active service 'l'idc the report of the Lady Superintendentin-Chief of Nursing orps and Di\'isions. C ppendix II.) In 1 15 We po'; essed only one properly constituted V. . D. viz. that f the IIong- V ong c ' hina District, which may be considered the pion~er of V. _\. D~. in the Brigade O,'ersea. There are now many NUL l11g Divi iOlls "hich are registered a V. A. Ds, and placed at the di posa! of the Local l Iilitary uthorities. I alluded in my report of 1915 to the appointment of a Commissioner within the Empire of Indi a , who had tak n up his dutie in time for me t b able to note the fact, though s trictly speaking, he joined just after the end of the Brigade year. I expres ed my great sati faction at having been able to secure 0 distinguished an officer for the post as wa~ urgeon- encral ir Pardey Lu ki , K. C. S. 1., etc., and ventured to foretell that his great experience, stron g personality and high character wcre sure to bear fruit in increased e fficien cy and deyelopment. I wa. not mistaken, but ala ! the great strain of the war undoubtedly undermined his health and, two years later, he succumbed to a brief illness. But in those two years he had done much, and he left a la ting mark on th Brigade which will not forget him. I am happy to say that on the recommendation of the Viceroy of 1nelia, II. R. H. the Grand Prior and Chapter-General h ave appointed a . successor to the late ir Pardey Luki a distinguished member of Hi E ,' ccllency's Council, Sir Claude Hill, K.C. s. I., C. I. E., whom I kno,\' ,,,ill be cordially welcomed by all rank of the Brigade Over eas in India. Sir Claude's va t experience of the Indian Empire, " ,here he has labour d for 0 many years, with so much distinction, is sure to benefit any organization in which he takes a leading position. The following officers in charge of districts are or have b en on active service: MAJOR ]. ALEXA DER, late ssistant Commis ioner, Cape of Good Hope District, Union of South Africa. He i now employed in the Straits Settlement . MAJOR J. BAR LAY, V. D. Commissioner, New Zealand, has been

Mrs. Mifsud has since received the honour of the O. B. E. and R. R. c., and Miss Ernest the R. R. C. The total strength of the Brigade Overseas on December 31st 1917 was approximately :-200 Ambulance and 144 Nur ing divisions,' wit.h ~ personnel of 9951. See Appendix 1. I will now deal with the reports from the various Overseas districts but would like to repeat what I said at the commencement of thi report:

REPORT OF

TilE

CHIEF CO:\IMlS!->lOl'\EH.

thaL the officers in cbarge of districts~have been sorcly handicapped for many reasons in keeping up their records, owing to depiction of staff, t.he number of members on war service, and especially to the frequent loss by cnemy action of mails both out\vard and homeward. In one particular case, my Assistant Commis..,ioner in charge writes : " I am bcginning to think it hardly fair to a Transatlantic steamer to ask it to carry a letter from me to you. This will be the fourth time I have written to you fully on matters here in Newfoundland with di astrous result to thc steamer which had to carry the letter." I t is therefore all the more to their credit that these hard working officer have kept Lhe Brigade Flag flying and that all those who were able ba\Tc gi\ en unstintingl), of their best, hoth as to personal and material service in the great cause for which they, in common with the whole Empirc, are working, viz.-the relief of suffering and the care and comfort of the gallant men and women who are haring the burden of this colo sal war and who mean to relax no effort till it is brought to a victorious i. sue. Australicl.-Dr. T. Storie Di .'son, Deputy Commissioner in charge of thc N cw South 'A' ale Di trict, reports as follows: "\YAR SER\'! E.-Special Order, No. +7, issued by Headquarters inviting members of till' Brigade vcrs 'as to \'olunteer for war service in the Cnited Kingdom or elsewher ,rca 11l'd this Di ·trict in the early part of 1916 and copies were at once issued to the \ ariou .•\111 bulance a nd "uI"sing Divisions. The 'onditlons of se n ' lce as pl-obationers were fully explained by me. The circular aroused the kecne tin t er st, and th e Superintend e nts of the Tur ing Di\'lsions in particular t once took st e p to obtain eligible \'olunteer who were medi ' ally examin ed with the clclditional ;\lilitary Medical examiAation. Unfortunately when abollt forty fully qualifi e d candidate were ready to lea\'e Sydney, an intimation \\a recei·... cd that the order had bee n withdrawn owing to unavoidable circul11'itanc's. This was Cl grea t disappointment. Early in 1916 a ummar,), was pre pared gi\'ing the names of 153 officers and 111 I11bcrs of th > ' cw outh \\"ales District who had enrolled for active service; since its issue it is known that man\' others have volunteered. The casualties mentioned in that summary hav e , I n'g-;ct to r port, bee n further augmented since that date. In particular I would refe r to Ca ptain " -. T. ;\IcDonald, 1st Ambulance om cr, rleb Divi , ion, whose ·terlll1g qualities gained him the highest respect in this District. lIe left for the front at the beginning of th e war, was wounded in eptembcr 1915, and, met his dE''1th while in action in France in eptember 1916. The loss has al 0 been reported of the following, \\'ho were killed in action, Private \V. P. Clark, and one other (name not communicated) of the Newto\>\'n Division. Private 1. \Vebb, \\'estern Suburbs Di\'ision, and Private C. J. Robjohns, Randwick Divi ion. A most important feature of our activities has been the service rendered by the men of the St. John V.A.Ds. as rdedies with the care of returned \,,'ounded and sick soldiers tra\clling between ,\Ibury (the border town between Victoria and 1 ew South ""ales) and ydney, a distance of +00 mile, or between ydney and Bri bane (._ ueensland), 700 miles. The men display the keenest interest in this war work and are quite prepared to forego their wages (ilwolving in the case of the Queensland trips thl-ee days ab ence at the least fl'om Sydney) ; all this in order to obtain the great privilege of helping their fellow countrymen who have fought and suffered for the Empire. Our officers accompanying these units have furnished me with particular of this work, and informed me of the satisfaction expr ssed by the military officers supervising the transport. The repeated assistance in practical work afforded by members of Ambulance and Tursing Division to classe of the St. John Ambulance Association has been acknowledged with appreciation by the organisers. It will 11 readily seen that in this direction the systematic Brigade training is being applied with advantage. In fact it has become quite usual when a new class is forming to appeal to the Brigade for help.

The Horseshoe and Lake Vie7£) and Star Di7.lisions are still very active, and carry out th ei r work effic iently and well. Th e other three Ambulance Divisions have been depleted to such a.n ex tent by membcrs proC'eeding on active service or leaving the Distri t, that until other members can bc obtained through the efforts of the S.J.A.A. I fear that matters from a Brigade point of view will be at a standstill or practically so. Due to the dearth of medical men in our midst, owing to so man y having gone on \Var Service and those remaining not having the n ecessa ry time, classes under the Association have almost ceased to be held during the period under ,-eport, hencc our inability to obtain new members for our Divisions. It is anticipated that during the c oming year special efforts will be made to carryon, and as much good material is available, I trust the efficiency report for next year will prove more satisfactory. Two members on the reserve list have been killed-T . J. Kilmartin and B. Hoare. S vente> n accidents were attended-two in the mines, serious accidents comprising t I-aclures-and the local doctors testified to the excellent work performed. This division carried off the" L abour Day" 'hield and the" Mines ., Challenge Cup. The Annual Inspection and Re-exa.mination "V ere held on the 11th November, the absence of the Di trict urgeon prevented these being held earlier. Only t\ 0 Divisions pa[-ticipated, viz., IIorseslzoe alld Lake Fie7.iJ alld Star. The members proved highly efficicnt and take much pride in their Division a nd work. I am still 'Ildcavouring to induce the other Divi ions to keep together even by combination so as to maintain even a flicker of life until new members can be obtained . Regarding th ="ursing Divisions, these were unable to arrange for re -exa minations. All threc Divisions ha\e been fully occupied \\'ith war work, though they hay not altogether n 'glected their First Aid and Home Tursing instruction and practices. The number of garments, bandages and appliances made is splendid, alld I am proud to say that the Nur ing Divisions of Kalgoorlie and BOllltier have from the beginning of the war supplied all the bandages required by the \\". . \Var Ho pital. A class of Home Hygiene undcr the A sociation held during the report period was largely attend d by the members of the Nursing Divisions, a fair number of whom were successful in obtaining the certificate. Thc Brig-ad" Executi\'e has been employed during the year as a Finance Committ e and has di pen ed the funds provided by the several ~lines buying the material [or making 'lothing, bandages, etc. To date well over £2,000 has been reL'ci\ d and dispcl1 ed . r wish to xpress my appreciation of the services of the District ecretary Mr. I r. ].

Thc severe weather (terrible storm had been rag-ing- [or thc last \\el·k) and the condition of the roads have not hindered our work, but have madc it very diAicull. I desire to mention the al\'ation Army who came to me on SalurJay mOl' ning anu offered their assistance, prominent officers from se\'cral anadian cities \\ ho pro\'ed to be experts in their work. I asked tl1<'m to place the \'ol unl<u'y workcl's who were not members of the Brigade and to better s),stematise my cfrorts for the il1Ycc;tigation. I can never r pay them, they wcre all invaluable. Ensign IIam, of l\[l neton, directed the Coal Department; and l\Jajor Crichton, assistcJ by Brigadier Bcttridge, of Toronto, Major Barr, of t. J obn, • ' . B., and .'tafT aptain Byer., of Halifax, directed the Investigation and other work of the \oluntcers, and aptain R. Lane has been and still is of the great t assistancc in my offie. In a few days when the organisations were running nicely, and assislan c arri\'ing f r om outside, I askcd to be relieved of all work excepting that of Lady Superintendent of ollr Division, as I had been placed on the Medical Committee. It 'was about this timc that our contradictory teleg-I'ams began, but you will perhaps excuse me when I tell you that n ither ~Ii s Hunter nor myself had had any sleep for four nights. Our membe rs could not be distinguished from volunt cr who had no training and the matrons wcre requcstin~ that our members be uniformed at once. The outside uniform I considered n ccsc;ary on account of thc difficulty in transportation during the terrible 'w eather, and transportation could bc morc easily arranged when the women werc in uniform. I admit that I did not realise thc enormous order I was placing, but trust that if it has already left, that the powers that be, here in Hali[ax (finance committee), will pay the bill, or that you will accept the return of unused equipment. On taking- a few minutcs to-day to think the matter over I decided that if the coats and hats were not already in process of making or transit, we might do without thesc and save the money for some more necessary needs at this distressing time. At the pre ent time I am working as a member of the Mcdical Committee in charge of our Division . My staff consist of Captain B. Lane, of the alvation Army, and :'yliss Hunter, our Divisional Secre tary, both having been of invaluable scrvice to me. ~y first offi~er did not feel equal to the work, having had a sl ight operation the 11l0rI1l11g of the dIsaster, and has left the city until she is in better condition to be

of assistance. Mrs. MacDougall, another of my nursing officcrs, has done a wondcrful work as matron of the Y.M . . A. Emergency Hospit a l, which she quickly organised; he speaks in glowing terms of the V.A. Ds. undcr her. Mrs. Curry, another nursing- officcr, at my request, went with fifty-six (56) members to the <tmphill IIospital. Miss Pickles, Superintendent of Nurses at the Victoria General IIospital; Miss Pemberton, Superintendent of Night Nurses Victoria General Hospital ; Nursing. ister Frasel', of Pinehill Hospital; and Miss Bamford, Superintendent of thc Children's Hospital, "",ere already on duty at hospitals, and of coul'se remained tbcl'e. '!'he few other remaining have not reported but are doubtlcss doing- invaluable work somcwhere. I can never express the admiration I have for our girls, who unaccustomed to th..: horrors o( this kind have shown thc greatest endu ran ce. They have not reported wh at th<,y have done unlcss questioncd and I have had no time whatever to praise or discu S \\ork with them. The work they have done has not been reported to me hy themselves, but by others, but I know of cases where they have stayed on duty twenty hours at a str ,tch and rendel'cd sen ice which at any other time would have been co n sidcfl'd impossible. Onc member as isted in any way possible at the l\Iorgue, whcre the Scenes bamcd description. I cannot begin to describe the ho pital work which they accomplishcd during those first dreadful hours. At present they are doing ward duty . estcrday I visitcd e\'ery hospital and ask cd if their sen'ices were quite satisfactory, and if hospitals had all they rcquired. Before this you will appreciate ho"" difficull it was [or me to tell you how many we required. I thought I had satisfactorily arranged accommodation for thc fifty requested, but I did not know that member.., of the st. John );. B. Division were in the city and several from Fredericton. It was after obtaining- this informatio n that I cancelled my request. The t. Jl1hn , ' . B. ml'mb6s have report e d to me; the Fredericton members did not, anci I kaJ'I1l'd accidentally of their prcsence in the city. Another difficulty in ascc rtaining- tlll~ numbeJ' r quired was the fact that trained nurses were pouring into the city and the hospitals for some time ould not give me a decided answer as to the nu m b r t11l'}' Wt1lrld need. :\ L w hospi tals w ere being opened all the time and accommodat ion was scarce . . \t present wc ha\e fifty-six mC'mbcJ's, including ten from St. John N.B., at the amphill lIo. pital, and fifty-cight at fourteen other hospitals. Those remaining ha\ l' be e n called back to oflice work, are injured or otherwise unabl e to <lssist. This is a \'l'ry lengthy rcporl, and perhaps not clear, please accept it as an effort to cxplain ollr mes age, and to inform you of the courage and endurance of our divi ion. I trusl r havl..: 1lL1t call eel vou too much incom'cnience, and thank you very much for ,our kInd afTer.

A certain numb r of intelligent Constables hold First Aid Certificate, the remaind r arc trained to act undcr a ub-Inspector, Inspector, 01' Officer holding a Fir t Aid Certificate, of whom thcre will always be at least one in every Police Station in the Island. A ergeant or Con table on r cei\'ing a el'vice badge, after three years' effici nt ervice, is awarded a special grant of Rs. 10 per annum, which he continue to draw so long as b remains efficient. On being awarded a medal after fifteen ycar' ffi ient cn' ice, a grant of Ps. 2.50 per mensem ha been sanctioned by Governm nl. 5. As instances of the value of First Aid treatment, thc following cases may be quoted : (a) On Octob r 7. 1916, at 4-.30 p.m., at mallpa. s, olombo, P . . 1290 Anthony Pulle heard people making a noise and hurried to the spot. He was informed by an old woman that her grand-daughter had closed her elf in a room saying she wanted to commit suicide. Thc ergeant, with OI11C others, forced opcn the door and found the woman hanging at a bight of 4- fect frolll the Aoor by mean . of a rop tied to the roof. The ergeant at nce raised the" oman, g'ot another man to cut the rope, brought down the woman who wa. unconscious, and promptly r ndcred First Aid. The prompt and intelligent action taken by the Sergeant sa\ed the woman's life. (b) On December 22, 1916, at 1\Iadampe, in the Chila\\' Distri t, a man was brought to the Police tation tabbed thmugh thc lungs and having one rib completely se\'ered. ub-Inspe tor \\'ickreme inghc n'nder d First J\id, and de patched the injured man to the hilaw Hospital by train. The doc lor 1'L' ported that the FirstAid I'endered sayed the man 's lifL' , all bleeding ha\ing been stopped by the careful work of the ub-Inspector. (c) On February 22, 1917, at Dematagoda, Colombo, P . . 635 Zainudeen whcn off duty heard a cry that a woman had jumped into a \\'1'1l to commit .1Iicide. The Sergeant ran to the pot and, with the help of others, took the" oman, who wa' unconscious, out of the well and rendered First t\id. But hr the prompt action of the Sergeant the 'woman would have died. At stations on the sea coast all ranks are specially instruct d and kept up to the mark in rendering First Aid and artificial respiration to the apparently drowncd." 4. E\' ry First Aid

The best thanks of myself and all othel' members of th oq)S are due to the Principal Civil Medical Officer and to the Medical Officel- under him, and to the Police urgeon, Dr. L. de la Harpe, who hel' e taken the greatest pail1<; and interest in instructing members of the COJ'-ps in First Aid. I have much pleasure in stating that the Cololllbo Yursing Division has maintained a high degree of efficiency during the year uncleI' rC\ iew·. The number of member compares ravourably with th' prec~ding rep rt a. "ill be seen on reference to the return ; no opportunity has fortunately occurred in the Colony for any demonstration of usefulne s a was the cas in 1915 when riot occurred in different parts of Ceylon. The members have howc\ r attended th h?~pitals in Colombo for the purpose of practical training, and th intclligence and diligence shown by most of them are desen' ing of commendation. It is gratifying to record that five ladi s ha" proceeded to Bombay in I'l SPOIlS<' to an application for nursing aid to the ick and wounded from the war front; and should the military authorities u e Ceylon a. a base ror the treatment of \\oundcd, a large number of efficient and capable members of the division have exprcssed their willingness to devote their services to tho e requiring them. I much regret 10 ing the valuable sen'ices by retirement of 1\1r. \\T. P. de Zilwa, late~head .clerk in the P ... LO's. Office, who had up to thc commencement of April, 1911 of thIS year, also elI charged the clerical dutie of both the 1. John Ambulance Association, Ceylon Branch, and the t. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas. . I have much ple,:sure in placing on record the zeal and cfficiency with which he dIscharged the dutIes entrusted to him. This work is now entrusted to another clerk Mr. D. B. Ranasinghe, who I have no doubt will prove quit efficient; he ha~ unfortunately been on the sick list and this has resulted in delay in forwarding Annual Reports. ' I take this opportunity of expressing my indebtedness to Mrs. E. M. Fox for her cordial and energetic assistance as Acting Lady Superintendent of the Coloillbo ""ursinE[ Div,ision and. would strongly recommend her confirmation in the appointment-1l1 thIS connection I may also record that Mrs. A.

Hong Kong. - Mr. E. Ralphs, Acting Assistant Commissioner for the Brigade Overseas, HONG KO:"\TG A D CHI;:...rA Dr TRrCT, reports: "Th work of the 1. John Ambulance Brigade in thi District has been especially marked by its efficicncy and progress. Early in 1915 I approached Lady ;\lay, , ... ife of H. E. the overnor of the olony, on the subject of the formation of a women 's V. A. D. The maller was taken up very enthusiastically with the result that a Detachmcnt was formed with Lady lay as Commandant and ojficially attached to th Military IIospital. The members trained there and at the Government Civil Hospital, r endering valuable servic s, and owing to their efficiency earned the commendation of H. E. the Governor and of H. E. Major-General F.

Tt is interesting to record that one member is a medical man) practi ing the old hine e medicin ., who on heal'ing a " First Aid " Lecture, was so impressed that he joined th clas, and eventually pas ed into the Brigade of which he is now a very useful member. In A.ugust the Ho KOIll Tong (Saiyingpun School Old Hoys) fJi7'isirJJl \Va formed, and in eptember the Police Reserve Ambulance Company was affiliated to th Brigade. As a re ult of the inspection of these divisions, including the V .•-\..

I nclia.-A melancholy interest attaches to this report which, dated 17th August, 1917, was the first and alas! the last written by the late Sir I ardey Luki"i, ommission r for the Brigade Overseas v,,-ithin the Empire or India, \\-ho died two months after he penned it. The Peport is characteri tic of its author, and di plays throughout the thoroughness and con cientiousness \yith \\-hich he carried through the responsi ble po~t he had undertaken at a time of great emergency. For reas n'-, due mainly to the need for economizing space and to bring the r port up to date I ha\-e found it neces 'ary to abridge certain portions, but out of re pect for the writer I am quoting the mrtin bulk of it in his own words: "I have the honour to for\\'an.l the annual Brigade returns [or the period from 1st October, 1()15, to 30lh eptember, 1916.

John Ambulance BrigadeOrdedies are doing most useful service in Bombay and Mesopotamia. Apart from mobilised personnel, the Brigade is also pulling its ambulance instruction to good account in the unloading of sick and wounded or in other ways at Bombay, Karachi, Calcutta, Burma, Madras, Lucknow and Moradabad-the work at Bombay and Karachi and of the Calcutta ,-V ursing Di7.Jisiun at the new convalescent hom e there, deserving special mention. The names of several of these nobl workcrs already lie recorded upon their country's roll of honour. Fresh I" quests are continually being l' ceived at the Association' Headquarter for morc nurses or nursing orderlies and the machinery of the Association and of thc Brigade now a d mits of such calls being promptly met. iVO. 1. District.-Owing to the war and othcr causes, it has been found nec ssary, in a measure, to re-organise this District. The rcport of the Assistant Commissioner in charge shows that much valuable war 'work has been accomplished. The servi~es of the .Lady SupeI"intendent of the Sill/la j\'ursillg Dh)l'sioll merit special mentIOn, and wll1 be brought to the notice of the home authoritie in du e course. !his Division is in a thoroughly efficient condition. It has contributed substantially 111 personnel for work in the Military hospitals, and much credit for this is duc to the untiring devotion of Mrs. Henry, as well as to her predecessor the IIonourable l\Ir . Spence. iV,0. II.. District.-Nearly 300 nursing ord 'rlies for service at the front, and seven sanItary mspectors for work in Me opotamia ba\ e been pro\ided by tbis District. Tbe work of the Calcutta iVursing Division has been of a remarkably line charad r. personally ~nsI?ected the Division in the autumn of 1916, and was most fa\'ourably lI?pressed WIth Its general efficiency. ince its formation in 1912 its trcnglh has r~sen from fift~en.to 10~ .. Sixty of it members are sen ing in war hospitals, and sixtee.n are stIll ID waItIng for similar duty. 'ince 1913 !\Irs. Collie, the Lady Supenntendent, has p~ssed no less than 200 of her division through a local hospital, where they have gaIned much valuable pl'actic,tl 'xperience. IIer Ilur l'S havc rendered good and reliable service at the Officer Club and Soldier' C01l\'alcSl nt Home recently opened at Calcutta, also in conncction with a "Greeting and Speeding~' movement for im'alid soldiers passing lhrough Calcutta, Frl' a:ntecn, etc., and 111 other ways. No. Ill: pistri~·t.-An imn:ense . a!l1ount of work has bcen p rformee! by the Bor,nbay dIVISIOns 111 the handhng ot SIck and wounded, as practically all of these on arnval ~t Bomba.y f:o.m the Persian Gulf, East .\fl"ica, Egypt and France, ha\" been dealt WIth, each IndIvIdual being handled at least twice. A,s regards Karachi, pressure of \york there has pre\cnt d the submission to IndIan Headquarters of the returns necessary for thc formal reg-istt'ation of the two ne~v divisions, viz., the A~ia?1lari Dh.ll·siun and the A·aTac/li Di~/is/('II, as re 'og-nised unlt~ of t.he St. J C?hn .Ambulance Brigade in IndIct. Our corrcspond 'nee on the subject WIth Captall1 \V. A. pong, R.A.lILC., the Ditnct - uperintendent, goes back to l~nuary, 1916.. In August,. 1916, detailed instructions for reg-ularising the posItIon were furnished to CaptaIn Spong. The latest information show that , ome 115 membe.rs ~ave been enrolled, and I can personally tcstify that the \\'od>: which they are dOIng.ls real, and of much value to the Military authoriti 'so In a rcport dated Janua~y, 1917~ It was stated that the Karachi Brigade units 'were performing excellent work In landII1:g stretcher cases from hospital ships and in transfcrring them to amb~lance. tra1l1~ on clearance from the local ho pitals. There w rc ome 55 hospItal shIps, WIth 1,966 stretcher cases, and 41 trains with 455 stl"etch I' cases a~tended to. This work was under the control of Captain pong, ably assi ted by LIeutenant A .. A. Flynn and S.ergeant T. ute. The work of landing sick and wounded was 1l1spected by ~e 111. ovember, 1916, and I was entil'cly satisfied with the local ~r~angem~nts. With thIS we must I fcar rest sati fied for the present. As soon as It IS posslbl.e, the formality of registration will I have 00 doubt be duly co~~let~d . . KarachI I regard as one of our most promising centres of Brigade actIvity In thIS country. No. IV. District.-Owing to contingencies which have arisen locally it has been found necessary to re-organise this district. Thcre is but one unit in existence the Bellary Y. W.C.A. iVurszng DivlSioll, 'with 15 members. The Madras Ambul~nce Corps is a ,:ery healthy and promising body and I am in correspondence with the Actmg ASSIstant Commissioner regarding its re o-istration as a recognised unit of the BI"igade Overseas in India. b ,

Otago District.- It i regretted there are no returns from this Di trict for the year ending 30th September, 1917. With regard to those for 1916, no report is made of the work done, neither of the District as a whole nor of individual Divisions, hence the inability to draw up a report, exce pt in so far as statistics, with regard to Divi ions and their personnel are concerned.

however, is the establishment of a small Hostel in Johannesburg for the purpose of accommodating soldiers on thc premises of tbe S.A. Railway Ambulance Depot, which could not fail to attract the attention o[ the public wben it became known. Ral/d Dailv J1Ifail, l\lay 30th, 1917 :-" \\Thile many good people in Johannesburg ha\"c been moving \'igorou ly to obtain funds for thc establishment of a hostel on a large scale in J ohanne burg, for visiting soldiers and soldiers who have no hom s, a mall and unambitious hostel has come into bing. 0 unostentatious ha been the work, it has been proc ding [or three months unknown to the general public and the pre s. Probably it would never ha\' come to light had not thc demand for mattres es, etc., forced the hands of the on1mittee. . . . The premises al·e at the S . •\. Railway mbulance D pol. Some 1110nths ago :l\Ir. Barr tt, of the outh African Railway, and his wife were concerned about the number of homeless men from Potchcf troom, et. It began by 1\11'. Barrell obtaining from Mr. Sharpe (Corps Superintendent of the outh African Railway Corps) . . . . pcrmission to use the Ambulance Depot, a good-sized bungalow in the .A. Railway Bramfontein quarters. 1\11'. and Mrs. Barrett, assisted" by others, opened their miniaturc hostel in a modest way, on the 1st March. ince that date about 1,300 rcturned soldiers and soldiers on recuperative lea\·e have signed the register. The average has been about 26 per day . . . . and on aturdays double that number. . . . 1r. harp attended at the Ambulance Depot yestel-day afternoon, wilh the Ladies' Committ e, to welcome the :l \Iayor and l\1ayores. AfLer the 1\Iayor had in pecled lhe premises, he made an informal speech, and said he had not known of the xtenl of the good work "vhich wa being done at the Depot. It wa perfectly clear that a movement of this kind should be support d, and he would make reprcsentations to the proper authorities. "

In conclusion may I be allowed here to expre my gratitude to my Chief Staff Officer Mr. \V. H. Morgan, and to his assistant at H.

Repol-t of the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief of Nursing Corps and Divisions. To the Chief Commi ~ ioner, Brigade Overseas. ir - 1 ha"e the honour to forward herewith my report on the TUl-sing Corps and Divisions (including the V. .Ds.) o[ the Brigad Overseas for the t,,'o years ending 30th December, 1917. In the interim report, issued last year, allusion wa made to the [act that a certain number of member" of the Nursing Divisions of the Brigade Overseas, amounting in all to 161 had arrived in thi~ country a volunteers for probationer's duty in l\Iilitary Hospitals under the Joint V. A. D. Committee of the Order of l. John and British Red Cro s Society. They represent most of the principal 0" rsea. District. Thi number has steadily increased, and now tands at 391, contributed as follows-Australia 7, Canada 318, India t, T ewfoundland 23, New Zealand 14 and South frica 25. Canada, becau e the field of selection is greater, and the \'oyage to this country much horter, although unfortunately far from being- [ree from danger, ha provided the majority of V. A. D. It must not however be inferred that the patrioti. m and de ire to help the lother Country in her hour of need is les keen amongst the member!:> of the Nursing Division in the other Colonies. uch a "iew would be mo t unjust, for many members volunteered and were prepare I t pay their passages to England and back, taking all risks and in some instances willing to give their ervices free. The Home authoritie , however, he~itated to take the responsibility of allowing them to undertake 0 long and perilou a \' oyage. But, all the same, one cannot help admiring the patriotism and devotion to duty which prompt I these ladi(!~ to be rcady and anxious to brave the dangers to which they undoubtedly would hav been exposed in order that they might share in mini tering- to the "ick and wounded. The following is a gratifying tribute [rom Lady .\mpthill in forwarding data of the posting to various hospital of the \' .. \.D. members from overseas, dated 27th l~ebruary, 191 t : "The official Canadian, .A uslJ'alian, ouLh African, and i\'cwfoundland membcr have done remarkably well. .A t the pl'csenl limc repre entative of thc units are serving in France and Egypl, as wcll as in the home ho pital . " ' ursing Member Miss A. Hou:::.lon, of Ollawa, was m ntioned in dcspatchl's on the 21st December, 1917, for her gallanlry in a military ho pital ill Fran 'C during an air raid. "Of the unit which has just arrived, we are h ping to send Miss ,eitch as IT ead Clerk in France, and two other very competenl Secrelaries arc b'ing detailed to Salonika. Praclically all the Soulh African members arc serving in lhe Soulh Afri 'an Hospilal, Richmond. " I think thal lhe Dominion Seleclion Boards and you, as lhe Lady Supcrintendcntill-Chief of lhe Sl.

" Thosc who have been in England [or over thiJ,teen months have, I thin!.::, all gained lh ir carlet efficiency stripes."

Three members (two Canadian and one New Zealand), have been menlioned in despatche , viz. : Miss Houston, Ottawa No.1 iVaysz'71g Dzvz~'z'Oll, Canada. Mrs. Mary Gordon, Fori Rouge Nursz'ng DZ'vlsz'on, Canada. Mi~ Ernest, Onehunga NU7"s£ng Dlvzs£on, New Zealand, the laller receiving the honour of the R. R. C. In practically every di trict members of the Nursing Divisions ha\'e been engaged in V. . D. work, attending Military Hospitals, staffing Convale 'cent IIomes, meeting sick and wounded returning from the [ront, and contributing to their comfort whilst travelling; collecting and eli tributing book', providing meals, etc., for troops, sending parcel to prisoners of war, attending working parties for hospitals, and in col lecting funel for every kind of patriotic work, including daily service in Red Cross Packing rooms, canteens, etc. colo. al war like that which has now been going on for over four years, involving as it does practically all the manhood of the nations concerned in it, ha been woman' opportunity, and has been nobly availed of. In that special branch of work to which our Order has for centuries devot d itself-viz., the care of the sick and wounded-the worn n of the rder and it Department have distinguished themseh es by unremitling self-sacrifice and devotion in their labour of love, for which th yare so pre-eminently uited. I am unable, of course, to deal with the mass of details of the sp lendid work done throughout the Brigade O\'e rseas, which will be found in the Reports from the various Di tricts; but that done by the Halt/ax Nurs£ng D£vzsion (Canada) in th great disa ter of the 6th December, 1917, seems to stand out a a remarkable example of devotion to duty, which it would be hard to urpass. The narrative of the measures taken on that occa ion will be found in the Report of the Deputy Commissioner for the Dominion of Canada. The following is an extract from the reporl, dated the 26th April, 1917, on V.A.D. work, by Dr. C. J. Copp, Assista11t o1111nissioner in Ontario, and taff Officer to the Deputy Commissioner for the Brigade Oversea, Canada, who ha ' had the chief work in connection with the preparation of the contingents for England : " A 'cording lo the scheme [or Voluntary Aid lo medical services in lime of \var, the ursing Division in Toronto materially assisted in the preparalion and opening of the Convalescenl IIospital on allege Street, Toronto; and the Cenlnd Nursing Division has since provided a personnel of volunteer workers to assist trained nurses in their attendance on convalescent soldiers. " On lhe opening of padina Convalescent Hospilal, the Central Tursing Division undertook similar duties. Six members serve a week at a time for one week, [ollo\Ved by a second g roup of six workers at College treet Ho pital and fourleen at Spadina Hospital. "There al'e six V.A Ds. in Canada. The one in Ottawa has been performing excellent work in Sandfol'd Fleming Hospital, and has received a congratulatory letter from the ecretary of the Mililary Hospitals Commission on the ''lork performed.
