" I have recently visited the East, and i[ has been my g-reat pleasure and of great advantage to me to be able to hear for 111) self of the work which our Ophthalmic Ho pital had done there pre\ ious to ih destruction by the Turks. I went over the building, portions of which are still perfectly intact, although I reg-ret that othl!r ... are de troyed. The matter has been carefully gone into, and ir Courtauld Thomson has recommended that we should spend £3,000 on recon ... tructing the buildings to make them perfectly usable, and to enahle u'" to continue the work that has been done in the past.

The Hospital continued its beneficent work with the same efficiency as in pre\ ious years and rendered invaluable BRICAOE scnice during the seyere fighting in the spring of 1918 HOSPITAL. when the total number of beds was increased from the normal figure of 520 to 7 -H, the accommodation for officers being augmented from 20 to 88 beds. On the night of 19th 1ay hostile aircraft arrived o\·er the buildings and dropped a few bombs, doing a certain amount of damage. They paid a second visit to the Ho pital on the night of 31st May and made a determined attack on the buildings, with bombs and machine gun , with the result that Sister Baine, "0" Ward, wa hit on the head and killed instantaneou ly.

additi~n to shell shock ,;vas slightly injured; SisLer Eadie sustain d a Potts' fracture; and Captains Hall and Wilson received severe. injuries. The material damage was very considerable. One bomb fell cltrectly on " 0" Hut completely demolishing it; all the H uts f rom "M"4" LO Q" , . H uts "J, " "IZ" an d -the Medical Wards-were reduced to rums; " L" al 0 suffered greatly; at the back of the premises Hut , " H " and " I " were destroyed; while all the glass of the Operating and Surgical Theatre wa smashed . Under the direcLion of the Commanding Officer, Lieut.-Colonel C. J. Trimble, the whole of the staff carried out their respective duties in the most admirable and fearless manner. Their devotion to duty has been recognised by the Order, by the award to Colonel Trimble of its Gold Life-Saving Medal, and of two Silver and a number of Bronze Life-Saving Medals a ~ fully detailed later in this report. By order of the Military Authorities the Ho pital was moved to Trouville, or to peak more accurately to the heights above the village of Deauville. The demolition of the Ho pital for the purpo. e of removal began in the middle of June, and all expenses in conn ction with iLs removal and re-erection were met by the very g nerou. r spon e Lo thc appeal for funds made by the Director of the Ambulance Department. Mr. F. S. Phillip, a Donat of the OrCler, who sinc th beginning of the war has been indefatigable in work connect d with aid to the sick and wounded under the au pices of the Order, ,vent oyer from England to assist Colonel Trimble and his staff, rendering . . en·ices of a high order. Not only did he a si t in the remo,-al of the Ho . . pital but when it "vas re-erected he acted as Honorary ecretary for a lengthy period and through his energies the ultimate ale of the Ho piLal Wet'> arranged. The Chapter-General takes thi. opportunity of recording its sen e of indebtedness to Mr. Phillips for his valuable work. The first convoy was received in the newly erected hopiLal on Wednesday, 23rd October. It appears fitting to quote here the following : SPECIAL ORDER OF THE DAY.

(20th January, 1919). C. J. TRD1BLE, C.B., C.M.G. V.D., Commanding The St. John Ambulance Brigade IIo<.,piLal, To the Officers, Warrant Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers and Men, Trained Sisters and V. . D. Nurses, PasL and Present. The end of the War bring about the dem bilization of Lhis IIospiLal at an early date. The entire taff compri ing Medical Officers, i~ters, V. A. D. Nurses and the personnel of the Pro\"isional ompany, R.A. M. c., attached to the U nit will soon be at home. WhaL joy and s3tisfaction is to be derived from that word" Home." In issuing this Order I propose to deal with the se\'eral l:ctions of the personnel separately, but before doing this may I say a few words concerning the Hospital. In October, 1914, the Order o~ St. John decided to offer a 520 bedded Hospital to the Government. This was done, and the authorities accepted the proposal. A Committee was formed and the organisation of the Ho pi tal and the election of the staff proceeded with. After some discussion Etaples was chosen as the site of our institution, and to this LIEUT.-COLONEL

locality somc of the staff came on the 22nd July, 1915, Lhe building- of the IIospital having beg-un in April, 191 S. Our fJrst convoy was taken in on the 8Lh September, 1915, and after thaL the wheels of the Unit never ceased to turn round, ~omeLime..., fairly quietly and aL other times with g-reat rapidity and a whirl which indicated much work and train, but with our magnificent ~taff, good equipment, unanimiLY of purpose, no pressure ever affected the scientific or other efficiency of our work. Those from the outside who saw us (individuals well qualified to pass an opinion) cxpressed in no uncertain words th(;ir admiraLion and approval of the splendid work thc Hospital wa doing-. It is only just to ourseh-cs to <;ay that the St. John mbulance Brigade Hospital was 100J.::ed upon as one of the best, if not actually the best hospital of its type in France. As on who has had the honour to be connected with it since its very beginning: and also to have had the proud atisfaction of commanding it since July, 1916, I well know what joy and satisfaction it is to realise all Lhis nit ha~ donc for our ~ick and wounded !->oldiers. vVhen in May, 1918, the II un bom bed our Hospital literally to pieces, killing- and wounding many of our patients and personnel, it was then my privileg-e to notice that steadine ,bra\"ery and determination of the whole stafT. This was a JT10sL trying time, and when on 31st May, 1918, the in . . titution was devastated by enemy aircraft, then the opportunity was gi\"cn of judgin£; the grit and eli regard for personal sat ty exhibited on all side'>. The first care was in the interest of our helples':> patients, and rig-ht nobly thi.., duty was performed. In recognition of the excellent sen"ices rendered by the II o<.,pital th e following honours ha,-e be en conferred by I 1. ~r. the King- and Lhe Order of t. John of Jerusalem: 1 '. B. 17 Mention in Despatches. 1 . ,\L Yo 37 Grades of the Order of t. J Ohl1. 1 O. B. I~. 1 Gold Life Saving lVledal. .2 R. R. ., 1 t ~ las " . :2 ih'er Life Saving ~l e dals. 5 R. R. '., 2nd la 13 Bronze Life aving ~ledals. 8 Military 1edals. l'ledical and urgical Staff.- The reputation built up and maintained by the Hospital, tog-ether with the splendid Medical, urgical and Re~earch work done, all stand to the credit of the Medical Officers. Let it here be thoroug-hly und rsLood that no institution could be placed in a slrong-er po~ition than this one, as the Officers who joined were the nower of the ~Iedical and urg-ical branches of the profe ·sion. Ample opportunity was affor led to the e Officers to use all their skill and knowledge, as the C011\'oys of sick and wounded ent for admi sion to us were alway. compo 'ed of the most seriou cases. As it is well known for the past t\\·o years of our service at Etaples no v;alking case were admitted except thoe composed of Officer patients. Under the most strenuous conditions (on many occasions the pressure was so great as to necessitate all-night work) no body of men ould have given more devoted or elf-sacrificing work; their interest and sympathies went out to Lhe fullesL extent to the ick and wounded committed to our care. It can well be remembered the strain that wa thrown on us during the severe fighting which occurred in the Loos offensi,"e, October, 1915, first ?attle .of the omme , July, 1916, Lens to rras, April, 1917, fe mes Rldg.e, September, 1917, Cambrai, November, 1917, and the German offen lve at St. Quentin in March, 1918.

The Research work accompl ished in the Laboratory of the Hospita l is of the utmost importance and will in future be more heard of. T h e two officers in charge of this department have laboured assiduously, and I trust their determination to shed more lig-ht on som of the dark pathological paths \yill reap the reward it deserves. Trained Sisters and V. A. Ds. In speaking- of our trained is t ers I embrace the opportunity of testifying- to the plcnclid and untiring work performed by them in the interests of their patients. At all t imes during the stay in the Hosp ital at Etaples their work was arduous and trying, an I yet by their gentle and continuous care in nursing, feeding and attending on the many helpless cases committed to their charge d id those trained Sisters establish a great conndence in their patients. No reward can be too great for their ever present de\'otion to their calling. Our V. A. D. 1 T urses desen'e special and generous mention for the pa r t they have played in the service of the Hospital. Many of these young ladies had not prior to the war done any \vork of an arduous nature, and yet as \'olunteers they thrcw themselves whole-heartedly into their positions, and whether they were required to take duty \vithin or without the wards, their work was of a high order. These V . A. D . Nul' es 'oon gained a sub:,tantial and useful knowledge of nUL ing which enabled them to render Ycry valuable a, sistance to the trained Sisters. Their u,>efulness and assi'>tance in Ho,>pital detail het'> bcen most \'aluable and has earned for them a la'>ting debt of g-ralitude . Warrant Officers, Non-Coll1mi ,'sioned O ff icers an d Me n of the Pro\,isional Company of the R. "\. 1\1. . attached to the lIospital: no body of men could have more thoroug-hly, con-.;cientiously and earne"Uy performed your du1.ie~. Recruited and selected [rom the l. John Ambulance Brigade it can well be under. tood that your acceptance of enli tment \\~as prompted by the "pirit to enable) Oll to do g'ooJ sen' ice in the Ho pital of the Order of t. J obn, and rig-ht \\ell you h,l\'e performed your "elf-imposed compact. Your skill a,> trade'imen was and is an asset not easy to value. Good first-aiders anJ many with an elementary knowledge of nursing, your usefulness \\'a'> without question. As time went on th;s superficial kno\dedge deepened until you became expert ward orderl ies. All praise is dIe to you for your gentle and sympathetic care in handling the very sick, and badl y \\ ounded; being experts in ' tretche r drill the moying of wounded with the least suffering came a" second nature and was on all occasions nerformed with an expertness and tenderness which delighted all \\'ho witnes'>ed you performing thi work. Your general good conduct, smartness, re<;pectful bearing, and excellent discipline , made you a credit to the l nit and a pride of your O fficer Commanding. No matter in what section of the \\'ork your se rvices were requisitioned, yo 1 responded most loyally, and entered on yo u r duties with enthusiasm; you are deserving- of all praise. r must specially note the good work done by the Clerical section of the Company. The Administrative Offices were always staffed w ith willing workers with the result that accuracy and efficiency at a ll times prevailed.

II oSPIT1\L.

To the Mechanics, Electricians, Cooks, General Duty Orderlies, and otber details I say r am proud to have had command of such a body of mcn. To t hc '~ ompany as a whole I say YOLl have earned the gratitude of many it sorely wounded hero, and ) ou have discharged your d,l~t~ to your Kin;; and Country, and the Ancient Order of St. John nght nobly." In conclusion let me ofTer for the acceptance of all ranks and t~racles of those sen'illg with the St. John Ambulance Brig-adc Hospital my cordial and grateful thank" for the courtesy 3.nd kindness I ha\"e recei\'ecl on all sides during the two years and a half of my command. TO Officer Commanding' could possibly have had more loyal or devoted upport, and this alone has enabled me to ., carryon." I part \\ ith you all on dE.ITIobilizatinn with genuine sorrow, but I f~el that th mcmory of plea'>ant surroundings, and) our helpfulness, whIch raised the IIo,"-pital to the proud po::-.ition it ba occupied, softens my grief and con,"-l)]cs me. You have by your self denial and zeal indi\'idually amI cl)llecti\ ely fulfilled in no uncertain way th e mottoes of the .\ncient Order of 'to John: "Pro fide," " Pro utilitate hominulll." eH \RLES J. TRl\IBLE, Licut. -Col., R. A. M. c., Officer ommandlllg-, 't. John .\mbulance Brigade Hospital. During th", year ended 31st October, 2458 cases, mostly of a evere type, Wl:re sent straight from the fighting line to thi-.; hn"pital, an increase of 297 on the number admitted in the previous year. In spite of this Iarg-e increa-.;e, it is extremely gratifying to nofe the continued declinc in the ..Ieath rate. In the first year the percentage of dcath" \\a,> 11~(l, in the second year '5; , while during' the year under review ol1ly eight deaths occurred, a percentage of '32. Taking thc proportion of deaths to the a\' rage number of patienh in the hoo'p ital, the death rate in the third year was not appr ciahly higher than th;'l.t for thc kingdom, Thi is a striking te timony, hoth to the efnciency and de\'otion to duty of the hospital staff and to the op n-air treatment. 195 major operations \vere performed du ring th year. The l. John V. A. D. Transport has continued to place its services at the disposal of the Hospital, so that it has been possible to obtain transport at any hour of the day or night. The alimentary co!:>t per head for the year has risen to 21 '23 pence per clay as against 19.d. in 1917 and 16·31d. in 1916. However, the outhpor1 public with increasing generosity has again come to the a si tance of the ho pital, the gifts this year amounting to £8,850 15s. 3d. The kill and organizing' ability of the Honorary Secretary and the IIonorary Quartermaster have been tax d to the utmost in endeavouring, with constantly" fluctuating num bel'S, to keep the supply of food above the minimum in isted upon by the . . rmy Authorities, an d below the maximum laid down by the Food Controller. During the year 631,330 article have passed through the laundry, the work in thi " as in all other department, having increased owing to t h e men pas ' ing out more quickly to convalescent ho pitals to make room for other cases.

SOUTHPORT HOSPITAL.

The summer fetes at "The Woodlands" and "Th e Grange," were again a great success, and all sections of the Southport pub lic have continued to organise entertainments, concerts and sport for ll?e patients, while the choirs from many of the churcl?e and chap els . 111 the town have rendered the unday evening gathenngs at the hospltal very popular with their service of song. On 1 t October, 1918, 2+6 Auxiliary Hospital had been organised under th auspices of the Order, an increa e of twelve on the numbcr organised by it on the same date last year. The numb r of beds in each IIospital vari d considerably from time to time and it has not b en found possible, therefore, to give an accurate estimate of the number provided. ST. JOHN

HOSPITALS.

The work of this Committee ha been continued under the Chairmanship of Adelin, Duchess of B dford, with COMMITTEE . Lady Perrott a Honorary Secretary. Christmas Presents were again despatched for all the Staff and Patient at the St. John Ambulance Brigade Hospital at Trouville. A dinner for the Orderlies was also provided by the ommittee, and a chequ for £20 was sent to Colonel Trimble to be expended on making the hristmas festivities as bright as possible. The total amount subscribed was £ 142 18s. 3d., which ,\lith the balance from the previous year of £25 19s., made a total of £168 17s. 3d. The St. John Ambulance Brigade Hospital Depot at Halkyn Hou, e continued to ,vork during the whole of 1918, finally closing at hri tma . 185 bales of dressings and bandages, etc., were ent from this D pot to the St. John Ambulance Brigade Ho pital during the year, being an increase of 81 on the previous year. During the two year~ of it~ existence the Depot has despatched 289 bales containing 190,292 articles, all of which were sent to the Brigade Ho pita! with the exception of the last 40 bales, which were sent to the first line Hospitals in London and the Province . I t is very gratifying to learn that while the Depot \Va open just over 30 per cent of the workers qualified for the Badge for allen dances, and that the Heads of the various room~ were there from the inception. A letter has been received from Colonel Trimble heartil) thanking all the workers for their great help and a sistance to th Ho~pita1. The affiliated DepOts at Gollandfield, . B., Tyringham and R omily continued to send generous consignments, and most u eful weekly contributions were also received from the Park Lane DepOt. The surplu, mat rial left over after the closing ot the DepOt has to a great extent gone to Syria with the Unit sent out by the Order ot t. John and the Syria and Palestine Relief Fund. Earl Beauchamp most generously I nt Halkyn House for two years, and in addition paid for the entire lighting for that period, making everything as convenient as possible for the successful working of the Depot. The Donations and Subscriptions tor th e year, including £1,000 from the Joint Committee, amounted to £t,582 5s. 11d., the expenditure on material, etc. , being about £1,200. The Depot at 35, Park Lane, most kindly lent by Countess Grosvenor, has again done splendid work . This Depot has carried on its ,vork practically from the outbreak of hostilities . There has been a steady attendance of workers. The ou t -put includes contribution from five

To Leonard Bayly, Eastcote, Middlesex, Student." a Bronze Medal. At 10.27 on the 13th April, 1918, at Eastcote Station, Metropolitan, Railway, Mr. Charles Thomas Gutteridge, a member of a party who were seelllg some friends off bv train, fell on to the lin e and lay stunned across the metals in contact with the negative electric rail. Leonard Bayly, who was on the bridge over thc line about 55 yards from the accident, on seeing what had occurred, ran d<;>wn, to the platform and jumped on to the permanent way. IIe succceded 111 extnca~lng Gutleridge from his perilous position and getting him safely betwe~n concrete PIC:S which support the platform. Ile then crept under the platform himself as a tram was coming inlo the station at a speed of about 20 mil~s an. hour. The o?lookers shouted to the engine driver to stop, and he brought hiS train to a standstill about three yards past the spat where the two persons werc lying, and ab0l!t 60 yards short of the usual stopping place. The risk '\.vbich he ran in conseque~ce of ~n incoming train and of the electric I'ails was well-known to Bayly who IS a dady traveller on the line. Gutteridge, in a semi-conscious state, was led by Bayly and the driver along the permanent way to the platform by way of the ramp at the end of the station. He soon regained complete consciousness and his injuries were found to be of a slight character.

To Lieut.-Colonel CharIe Joseph Trimble, C.B., C.M.G., R.A.M.C., Officer Commanding, St. John Ambulance Brigade Hospital, France, a Gold Medal. During the severe air-raids which occurred on the 19th and 31st May, 1918, Colonel Trimble wa con lantly passing through the various departments and entrenchments of the Ilospital, encouraging the patients and personnel and directing operations; it was largely due to the fact that he displayed such coolness and disregard for his personal safety that so many escaped injury and that no panic occurred. On one occa ion he was knocked over and slightly wounded by a bomb which burst three feet from where he was standing. On another occasion a fire broke out after the bursting of a bomb, and thi was extinguished by the personal assistance of Colonel Trimble.

The Invalid Transport Corps continues its good work. The Association i sues a separate report, which may be obtained on application at St. John's Gate. Although during the year embraced by this re port, hostilities, with a few minor exception , have ceased, it BRICADE. is still impos ible to give a complete return of the Brigade, as a large proportion of the member are still erving in the work of clearing up. Excluding the Brigade in Wales, the pre ent strength of the Home Brigade in England and Ireland remains approximatcly at 60,000. 40 new Ambulance Divis ions and 22 TursinO' Divisions, with a total strength of 790, have been formed and registered during the YCM. That portion of the Brigade previous ly raised and serving in Wales is now under the Priory for Wal es, as the Wel s h Brigade. It is composed of the whole of No. XI. District and tbe 'Vel h Divi sio ns of No. VII. District, 166 Divisions in all \vith a total strength of S,500. The relations which will in future exist between it and the Home Brigade have not yet been officially settled. Civil work.- The civil work of the Brigade ha been carried out when and where required, but with the cessation of air-raid and the closing down of munition works, the call has not been a heavy as in the two previous years. The provision of an Assistant Commissioner for each county is being carried out as suitable persons are found willing to take up the work.

Owing to the formation of the IIome Ho spital Reserve previous to the war, and by reason of its rapid mobilization in ugu t, 191 +, large numbers of the perc.,onnel of the Royal Army Medical Corps were set free and \\cre thus enabled to proceed without delay \vith the original Expeditionary Force to France. Through their patriotic action in undergoing training in time of peac:, the mcmbL:r"i of your .: \ ~soc iation were able to at once take up theIr duties in the ho~pitals of (he l'nitee.! Kingdom, and it has been in great measure duc to the efllcienC) with which they have performed these duties, which have been both arduous and cOlltinuoll~, that these In,-;titution<; have been stlcce. ~fully carried on. I am to ask that '"OU \yill be so g-ood as to cOl1\'ey the thanks of the Council to the me~nbers of the St. John Ambulance Brigade and i\ sociatioll for the \'ery \'aluable services they have rendered.

There are besides many members who have given their services wholly or partially, not directly under t.he Admiralty or the War Office, in hospital , in transport work or such other duties as they may have been asked to perform locally, but at present it is impossible to estimate their numbers.

It is much regretted that the casual lies amount to 307 during the year, making a total of 915 during the war. There are still many members of the Brigade Reserve relained on service, about 70 per cent of those who joined up, (see table below.) and a request has been forwarded asking for their demobilization at the earliest possible moment, now that their ervices with the sick and wounded must to a very great extent be at an end. Out of 21,986 men mobilized only six have been di charged for misconduct. The position of the Brigade to-day is stronger than it has ever been, it has proved itself, in war as in peace, it is greater in numbers, and from the practical experience it has been through, it is more efficient.

The Chapter of the Welsh Priory held its first meeting at St. John's Gate, Clerkenwell, on March 1st, 1918, and wa presided over by the Sub-Prior, the Right Hon. the Earl of Plymouth, P. c., G. B. E ., . B. The bye-laws of the Priory, drawn up by a committee appointed by the Chapter for the purpose, under the presidency of the Hon. Mr. Justice Sankey, G. B. E., have been adopted, and arrangements made for the constitution of Standing committee~, and the general administration. Four Standing committees have been established, viz. :--The Executive Committee, the Ambulance Committee, the Finance Committee and the Almonry Committee, with powers to carryon the general administration. The two first of these have met regularly each month, and with the assistance of subcommittees carried on the work of the Priory. Committees are being set up in each county, city and borough in the Principality, with a president, lady pre . ident, chairman, commissioner, secretary and trea ur r attached to each, and it is hoped to complete these shortly. The eighteen county, city or borough commissioners are the chief executive and administrative officers in their respective areas, and the channel of communication with Head-quarters on all matters connected with the work of the Priory. In some counties it has been found nece'isary to form sub-di tricts, under the control of sub-commissioners attached to the staff of the ommissioner. The Head-quarters' staff consi_ t.. of the Commissioner for Wales, the urgeon-in-Chief for "Vale . , the Lady uperintendent for Wales and the eputy Lady Superintendent for Wale. The Head-quarters are located at Cardiff, and accommodation has been provided by the Cardiff City Council, in the Law Courts, Cardiff. During the War a number of auxiliary and military hospitals were established, in conjunction with the Military Authorities, and admini _tered from the Head-quarters of the Priory at Cardiff. A hospital ha been e tablished at Tenby, with an accommodation of 75 bed , for discharged disabled sailors and soldiers, and is worked in conjunction with the Ministry of Pen ' ion. Two hostels are maintained by the Order at Wrexham for discharged sailors and soldiers undergoing training, and arrangements are being made for the opening of additional hospitals and hostels in other parts of Wales and l\Ionmouthshire. The Cardiff offices are under the contro l of the Executive Committee, acting under the WeI h Chapter, and hrls an Accountant's Department, which is responsible for the general finances of the Priory, the receivingof the capitation grants and the paying- of all accounts . The Brigade and Associat ion Departments arrange for the formation and examination PRIORY FOR WALES.

In all, 264 classes have been held , which have been attended by 4,105 students, . and 3,882 awards have been issued. The Brigade has increased 111 strength, 12 new divi ions having been formed and 162 new officers appointed. The Stores Department is responsible [or purchasing in bulk and distributing to the various hospitals equipment, clothing, grocerie and dry stores, as well as the provision of uniforms, buttons, badge , titles, etc., and all ambulance requisites. The bonded store set up by the Customs Authoritie supplies duty-free civaret"!:es, tobacco and tea for distribution to the l\lilitary, Naval, St. John and British Red Cross Society's hospitals in Wales and the border countie. . The Transport Department has e~tablished a number of centres in the industrial and agricultural districts in "Vales, each of which has one or more cars with a permanent dri,'er available for duty day or night. The sen'ice is worked in conjunction with the Police ,,\uthorities, and with the approval of the Home Office and the Ministry of Pensions. The Nurses' Department controls the trained and yoluntary nurses, and is respOll . ible [or their being posted to the several hospitals, and provides lecturers for the nursing clivi ions in the Principality. The main portion of the \\'ork has been centred in the mining- areas in South, West and Micl-\Vales, but the agricultural districts are now being opened up. CIa ses are being formed and new divisions registered. It is hoped by this mean . to sUPl lement more particularly the nursing' personnel, so that there may be a resen'oir of nurses to act under the control of, and in conjunction with, the district and ,'illag nurses. Thus it is hoped to retain for the public benefit the experience gained by the \T . .

can often ascertain the period at which a new rule was first laid down. (2). A well-pre. erved leaden double-se~l, or Bulla, of the Order was given by the Librarian. This Bulla, which would seer;t to have been long buried in sandy soil in Italy and to have sur~Tl~ed for seven centuries its detachment from some ancient document, 1S lD fac~ of da!e contemporary with the signing of Magna Carta at Runnymede lD 121:,. The Obverse contains the effigy, kneeling before a Jerusalem Cross with double tran ' verse, of Warren de Montagu (A. D. 1207 -1227) w~o was Master of the Order of St. John while its head-quarters were stdl in Palestine during the Crusades. The Reverse shows the usual symbol [or the Holy Sepulchre, the .bo~y of Christ on a bier, beneath a canopy with cross, lamp and SWlDglDg cen er. A .legen? around reads: "Guarinus Custos IIospitalis Hierusalem." ThiS anC1ent Bulla was described in the Rivista Italiana di Numi matica, Milan, 1917. (3) . . \n official document of the 16th century now in t~e Re~ord Office in London, of great intere t for the hi tory of the Enghsh Pnory of t. fohn ha..., been tran!-'cribed for our library; this is the Patent Roll of the- fourth year of Philip and Mary, 1557, and contains lengthy provi-.ions [or the re-establishment of the said Pri?ry, since its -.uppression by lIenry VII 1. in 1540, as well as a detatled account of the landed ~state..., in England to be restored thereby to the Order. The<,e c...,tates were again confiscated in the first year of Queen Elizabeth, 1559, but no pro\'ision was made for the suppression of the Eng-li...,h branch it. elf of the Order. " . (4) . . \ Receipt, on vellum, granted by the Procurator of the Pnory of France" of the Order of t. John, dated 1329, ha also been acquired. (5). One of the earlie~t of printed papers, an incunabula dated 1485, [rom the press of tephen Planck at Rome, was bought for the library, and is reproduced and tran"lated in the following pages. It is an .\ddress, of congratulation on the Pope's acces ion to the triple tiara in 1-1- ..j deli"ercd at the \ atican in the presence of Innocent VIII, by Gllill~l1mc de Caoursin. Vice-Chancellor of the Order, who had been sent tu .Rome a special Envoy by the Grandmaster d'Aubusson from the I sland of P hodes. Pope Innocent VIII, who was a Genoese named ibo but whose father was a native of RhlJdes, thus gave occa..,ion to 11L'Ipes of aid to the Order in defending its head-quarter at Rhode . against the increasing menace from the" grand Turk," who had indeed already failed once in a long siege in 1480, but \vho was destined to drin! the -Knight [rom that island forty years later. It may be added that Innocent VIII. hardly lived up to the flattering eulogy spoken in his honour on thi" occasion at the in ~ tance of the Order of ' l. J uhn, by Caoursin, who him elf is well-known as an early writer on the Order and historian of the first siege of Rhodes in 1+80; in fact Innocent's repute \Va. only little better than that of his friend and successor, the infamou Borgia pope, Alexander VI. The chief interest of this ddress by Caoursin lies perhaps in hi laboured but quaint attempt to convey the ymbolic meaning of the Order's eightpointed ern ' 5, of the same form then as it is to-day. The Order is indebted to Dr. Charle Cotton, of Canterbury, a Knight of Grace, for expanding the abbreviated Latin, and to the Rev. Dr. Mason, a Canon of Canterbury and a Chaplain of the Order, for the translation.

Several addition were made to the Library at t. John's Gate in 1918, the most important being one of the earlie~t printed editions of the ancient Statutes of the Order, of which th~ eddio pn'1lceps was issued by the Vice-Chancellor of the Order, Guillaume de Caoursin, at the then head-quarters of the Order in the Island of Rhodes, in the year 1493. Our edition (from the George Dunn collection) is a French rendering of Caoursin's Latin Statutes, an incunabula of that date printed in Paris and entitled 'Volumen stabilimentorum Rhodiorum Militum sacri ordinis hospitalis ancti J ohannis Hierosolymitani.' This volume is bound in its original oaken boards covered over with stamped leather. Many of the "tatutes of the Order of St. John remained in force, in their original form, throughout the seven centuries of the Knights' history until their surrender to Napoleon at Malta in 1798; and an interesting feature of the numerous successive editions is that the date is given of the promulgation of the Statutes by the different Grandmasters who decreed each, so that one LIBRARY.

CAOURSI,

ORATION.

The Oration of Gllillaunle Caoursin, Vice- hancellor of Rhodes, Ambassador of the most excellent the Master of Rhodes to Pope Innocent VIII, upreme Pontiff. The Christian religion has decreed, blessed Father, that tho e who are adorned with the mark of Catholicism should ackllowledge the Roman Pontiff as pastor of the Universal Church. It is indeed a law laid down by nature, that one who de ires to maintain existence t.,hould seek abovc all things to cherish unity. Everything that is, desires unity of being. Cranes in their flight follow one leade r. Bees making- honey set a ruler over them. Ants look before them for the footprints of an ant in front, anJ keep to them carefully. The soldiers of an army respect a single commander. The genera which are called l(cllcrah\·s/ma make [or real exi -tence. The wise Aristotle, the prince of philosophers, is right in saying, "The multiplicity of authorities is evil; let one be prince," from whom all power, regulation, and discipline nows, emanates, an 1 is derived. I have no doubt that this is the cau e why the heathens of Rome, after experience of a republican go\·ernment, determined to obey a single ruler, offering a kind of type of the ingle rule in the hurch. I t is thus with good reason that the king. and potentates of the whole world, and all mortal men who have receivcd the Catholic faith, regard the Roman Pontiff as the prince and monarch of princes, and anyone who depart from him deserts the unity of the hurch, and mu t need perish as a chismatic. ~Iea\ ing to thcir dutiful footsteps, the most excellent the Master of Rhodes, Pierre Daubu _son, the most de\"out ob erver of the Catholic faith, ackno\\ ledg s, obl:Ys and respects thee, Pope Innocent the Eighth, the true, only, undoubted Vicar of our Lord J esus Christ, the succes or or the Pies ed Prince of the Apo tIe , Peter, the pastor of the Catholic ~hurch and Roman Pontiff, and to thee, a the true Vicar of Christ, ofTers re\'crently on bended knee, after kissing thy bies ed feet, a pure obedience and sincere sonship. That highborn Master of Rhodes, on learning of thy promotion to the supreme Pontificate, was rejoiced beyond belief; and the knights, the citizens, and the inhabitants

The ross of the Knights o[ Jerusalem, Supreme Pontiff, is a sign that ha ' never been di graced. Its eight angles are con picuous upon the wearer '_ breast. The eight oblique and more acute angles are adorned with shining pearl , which betoken the eight Beatitudes of the Gospel. The eight angled figure includes also one of four angles; and the e four obliqu e and more obtuse angle are crowned with precious stones, which denote the cardinal virtue . The oblique angles with their lines conve rging upon the middle of the Cross combine to form right angles, and there a pious imagination beholds the figure of the Crucified. Hi th ree nai ls are distingui -hed by bright white tones, ,,·hich ignify the theo logical virtue.

This cns ign of the Cross, wise Ponti ff, is an en'iign of victory, anu undet- it th ~c Knights have repulsed the Turkish tyrant, a king more powerful than Mithridate~, and wealthier than Crcesus, and more cruel than Nero . This ~igl1 of the Cross ha'iJor many years fought victoriously with the rulhles~ tyrant. But since the taking of Con tantinople the war that has been waged has proved far more cruel, more perilous, and more terrible. At erentia, in Cos, the eminenl city which was the cradle of Hippocrates tIn first of physicians, a ~uccess£ul batLle with the Turks wa [ought. At Antimachia in the ~ame island, where the Turks wcre be~ieging the to\vn, the people of Co~ gained the victory, and the name of the place, which you would justly render " fighting against," was made more appropriate. About the same lime the Turks assaulte 1 the castle of Simis. * The people of the to\\-n, imitating the valour of their brave compatriot N ereus who according to 1I0mer fought al Troy, broke in pieces the frightfulness of the enemy. At a laler lim a hostile neet of a hundred sail attacked the i land of Telos \\"hich was bravely defended. 1\1 any a time the galleys of Rhode ba\e fought the Turkish Aeet of beaked ships, pre sed them hard and beaten them. or will I forbear to mention that violent allack which \\--as made long ago upon Rhode'i by the ultan of airo, in which the Egyptian were beaten, and went home with disgrace and loss. It is well kno\\"n how severe was the recent iege or Rhode - by the Turks, in which that brave champion, the ~1a tel', like a true imitator o[ the Maccabees, fighting in lhe thick of the foe, recei\-ed fi,-e wounds, and those who [ought along idl: of him were \\' t with hi'i blood which spurted on them. The [am of this celebrated victory i - world wide, and no length of time will efface it. The ignominy of the defeat so affected Mahomed the leader of the Turks that he brought up his damned soul v,-ith thrice repeated curses upon the Rhodians, and Europe and the Latin name breathed once more at hi · xtinction. By the aid of God's universal providence, by the support of Pope Sixtus IV. of happy memory, by the assistance of the most reverend Senate of the Father, and under the direction of the energetic Master of Rhodes, the Knights of Rhodes have achieved the e successe , fighting for the Catholic faith and for the Holy Roman Church.

CAOURSlN'~ ORATIO .

What is happier than for a man to shed his blood for Christ? \Nhat is more valiant than to conquer a powerful cnemy and compel him to mal e terms? What is more splendid than to baulk a terrible tyrant of his aims? But the sequel, Holy Father, was as fine. A warning from tbe prudent Master of Rhodes, Pierre Daubusson, made Bajazit, the prescnt ruler of t.he Turks, confine to the straits of the Dardanelles la!:>t summer the fleet which be bad prepared against Italy; and some time back a wi -e treaty had been made with the enemy, when Achmet Pasha, the man who took Otranto, the bitter foe of Italy, was carried olI by a sudden clcath, and his decease is reckoned to have been the life of many. 0 wisdom, 0 mercy, 0 loving kindness of God! thou dost not cea e to disclose* day by day the methods by which the family of the Otlomans may be extinguished! Happy is lhis Cro ,Holy Father, who e wearers have continued to this day unconquered j have never lost a field, a village, a town, or a city; and wilh the help of the Holy Apostolic See have ne\-er submitted to pay tribute to the tyrant. For all thi we owe thanks, and would pay them if wc had the means. The illustriou ' city of Rhodes still stands, the friend of Rome in old clays, extolled by the ancients in wonderful terms of praise, distingui hed in our own age by splendid achievements, and mol devoted to the po tolic See. We hope that it will abide for cver by aid of thy happy pontificate. We doubt not, sacred prelate, that thou wilt be zealous for the suppression of the abominable race of the Turks. N or wilt thou neglect the defence of the city of Rhodes, \yhich possesses the buried a -he of thy ance tor , and gay Lhy father birth. Thy Holiness will vouchsafe al 0 to befriend and [a\-our, as be deserves, the illu triou Master of Rhodes, Pierre Daubusson, so eminent for hi - virtues and his brilliant deeds; and thy Holiness will be the more gracious to the Order, which breasts the Turks so bravely. To ,,-ho -e destruction they promi e thy Holiness, they vow and dedicate soul and body and their modest fortunes. That they may be able to accomplish this, we beseech God to increase their power, whereby they may bring down the ruthless enemy; and to preserve thy Beatitude in safety for evermore .- I have fini hed. Delivered in the public onsistory, January 28th, A.D. 1485. .. "Prodire" seems to b a mi lake for 'prodere."

As reported last year, this Hospital, which had be en used OPHTHA LMIC as an a mmunition depot, was found to have bccn blown HOSPITAL. up by the Turks on evacuating Jerusalem. In the month of May teps were taken to begin the restoration of the Hospital at an estimated cost of £3,500, an estimate, however, w hi ch has been very con iderably exceeded, the actual expenditure being approximately £6,000. Captain W. H. Gowans, M.D.EDIN . , R.A.l\J.C., formerly Assist. Surgeon at the Dundee Eye Institution, was appointcd Officer Command ing the Hospital, and later a provisional local committee was set up to act as representatives of the Committee in London. The constitution of this Committee was: The Military Governor of Jerusalem (Brig.-General R. H. A. Storrs, .M.G., C.B . E.) The Medical Officer of Health, The Medical Officer of the Hospital, and Mr. Clark, Manager of the Anglo-Egyptian Bank, Jerusalem. The out-patient department was opened on Monday, 11 th November, and between that date and the 31 t December, 172 new case ' , 213 old cases, and 15 application s for admission were received. BR ITISH

Thi Commandery completed its se\'enth year's work on 30th September. During the year the Ellesmere amaritan Guild relieved 9-J. ca e aL a cost of £1 8 12 . 3d . , and made 110 garments for graLuitous distribution. £2,000 has been subscribed by the Commandery, it member ' and friends, for it<-. " Work for the Wounded" Department. Thi and a numb r of gifts have enabled the Commandery to send 26, 237 article~ to the ' t. J Ohl1 vVarehouse.

OBITUARY.

Earl Brassey in co-operation with the late Lady Bra sey wa one of the earliest promoters of the St. J Ohl1 Ambulance Association in a.ll parts of the world which they visited in the SUJlbea.lIL. It was th~lr custom to hold public meetings at every port at whlch they touched Il1 the \Vest Indies and elsewhere, and to make handsome donations and large gifts of stores. There i no doubt that it wa largely due to their efforts in the early days of the St. John Ambulance Association that so many Centres and Ambulance Clas es were formed Overseas, and in their own county of Sussex and other parts of England. Sir Henry Blake one of the oldest members of the Order, while Governor of Hong' Kong and Ceylon encouraged the formation of ambulance classes there, and after his retirement took great intere t in the development of classes in Ireland. In the early day of the present war he gave great assistance to the Queen's Committee of the Order's" European War Fund. " Dr. Fre hfield was selected a Knight of Grace of the Order in t877 ; was appointed Librarian in 1878; Receiver-General in 1 84; was promoted to Knight of Justice on the Eve of t. John, 1888; to Honorary Commander in 1903; and to Honorary Bailiff in 1910. He resigned the office of Receiver - General in the autumn of 1917. He acted as Honorary Solicitor to the Order for many years, and was largely instrumental in obtaining its Charter of Incorporation in 1888. He was closely identified with the restoration of t. John's Gate and the erection of the Chapter Hall. In 1911, in recognition of hi distinguished services, his arm were placed in one of th lights of the Nmth Window of the Council Chamber. Dr. Freshfield was greatly interested in the Priory hurch, lerkenwell, and when, during its re toration, excavations proved that th na\e was originally round, he defrayed the cost of further excavation which disclosed further portions of the foundations of the early nave. He also took the initiative in the purchase of the dvowson of the hurch by the Order, and was the prime mover in the acquisition of the Advow on of Little Maplestead Church, one of the four round nave churches -till existing in England. In January, 1890, he founded an Ambulance Station beneath the steps of the West Front of t. Paul'. s Receiver-General he \vas Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Order and Treasurer of the British Ophthalmic Hospital. On 5th September, a Memorial Service was held at the Grand Priory Church, Clerkenwell, when the Bishop of Southwark (Right Rev. Dr. Burge), for many years an intimate friend of Dr. Fre hfield's, gave a short address, in which he referred to the di\'ersity of Dr. Fre!:>hfield's interests, and bore personal testimony to his fine character sound judgment and loyalty to the Order and his friends. Field-Marshal The Lord Nicholson, in co-operation with his confrere the late Earl Roberts, afforded many facilities to the development of the work of tpe Ambulance Department of the Order in the Indian Empire. Mr. R. B. Carter, F.R.C.S. An eminent scientific writer, and di tinguished authority on diseases of the eye. He contributed to the Ti'm es during the Crimean War, and joined the staff of that journal just fifty years before his death. He rendered very valuable assistance to the British Ophthalmic Hospital, both as Honorary Consulting Surgeon,

and afterwards as Deputy Chairman, the office which he held at the time of his death. Colonel Bowdler wa for several years a Deputy Commissioner, and afterwards Chief Commissioner, of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas, holding the latter appointment during the whole time of the South African and hinese ·w ars. He received the Companionship of the Bath for the services of the Order's Departmental Units during these wars. He was the founder of the Royal Naval Auxiliary Sick Berth Reserve, the Brigade Bearer Companies and the Military Home Hospitals Reserve. He paid great attention to the re\'ision of the Regulations for the St. John Ambulance Brigade. . IIe was a man of many attainment, not only following his profession a a soldier, but holding the degrees of M. R. C. s. and :\1US. DOC. Amongst his mu ical composition wa the anthem on the Eight Beatitudes, which has several time been used in the Grand Priory Church of the Order. Lady Edeline trickland was a keen supporter of the Ambulance Department in the West Indies, Ta mania, \i\Testern Australia and New South \Vale . Dr. Mant ~and\Vith was one of the medical tudents who went out in the service of the Order in connection with the" Ea tern War Sick and Wounded Relief Fund" of 1876. He afterwards held a high appointment in Egypt, where he encouraged the formation of ambulance clas e , and frequently acted as lecturer and examiner. Dr. Grimbly \Va a pione r of ambulance work in Devon hire. He tarted lectures and cIa se more than twenty year ago at ewton Abbot, which became the headquarters of one of the most successful corp f the Brig:lcte. He afterwards became Deputy-Commi sioner of o. IX. Di<;trict, and shortly before his death the local unit under his command \vere in pected by His Royal Highnes the Duke of onnaught, Gnlnd Prior, \d1O expressed great approval of the work done by the 1 Tewton Abbot V.A. . Hospital which was run entirely und I' the management of the Order. ir allluel Boulton wa, a great promoter of scientific methods in chemical and other indu ' tries. He contributed to variou . branches of the work of the Order, e pecially that of the Ambulance Department in I I ertfordshire. 1aj r \Vyndham Malet at one time acted a Honorary Secretary of the British Ophthalmic Hospital, and served for many years on the Committee of th Ambulance Department. As a subaltern in the Royal IIorse .\ rtillery he greatly ass isted in the formation of classes in Exeter and other parts of Devonshire. He was the founder of the " rmy Guild of the Holy tandard," and for several years a churchwarden of the Grand Priory Church. Sir Ernest chiff, well-known in the City of London as a financier, \\'a elected a Knight of Grace for founding a home for surgical convalescents at Cobham, Kent. Sir Mitchell Mitchell-Thomp 011 was a great supporter of the St. Andrew's Ambulance Association in Scotland, and was elected a Knight of Grace in recognition of hi services to the Ambulance cause.

the county of Devon, and afforded every facility to the extension of Brigade units. Mrs. Richardson took an active part in various religious and other philanthropic works. She nursed during the outh African War at a Hospital at Bloemfontein during the epidemic of enteric fever, when there was a great drain on the reserves of the Medical Staff. Lieut.-Colonel Davis assisted in ambulance work and took a leading part in cognate philanthropic societies connected \\'ith the Church Army. Lieq.t.-Colonel Hyla Napier Holden, Indian Cavalry, was admitted to the Order largely because of his very valuable and self-denying work when in charge of a relief camp in Central I ndia. Cholera broke out amongst 5000 men in the camp and thollg-h very ill and deserted by his native medical assistant, he bravely faced the horrors of the situation alone. Mr. A. J. H. Crespi, a former Editor of the Srmdar,Y RCV/C'i.(I, was for many years a leading member of the Examining' Staff of the t. John Ambulance Association, and strongly ad\' ocatcd its ,,'ork in articles in the press and in public speeches.

SERMON PREACHED BY THE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK (Prelate of the Ordel'). "If I rorge l thee, 0 ] erllsalem, kl my rig-hl hand [org-et her clinning. "-Psalm 131, 7', S,

OF all the happenings in this world-wide war- its battles, it · revolutions, the ebb and fiow of it mighty armies- many have had greater military and political importance, none hm'e more deeply stilT d the imag-ination of men, than the capture of Jerusalem; for no city in the world has heen the centre of memories so ballo\\'ed, of longing' ~o inknse, of a dc\'otion so deep, so universal and 0 prolonged. If we may speak of .Hhens as the city of the world' intellect, of London a'. the city of its commerce, of Rome as the city of its principles of gO\ crnment, o[ Florence a the city of its art, \\'e may '.peak of Jc ru'.alem as the city of its soul. For long centuries before thc Christian era it had been regarded and \' encrat~d a..., the cho~en city of Him whom thc Hebrews gradually came to \\ or-.hip ,\'> the God of all the earth. \Vhcn it \\'as desolated and laid low the llehrcw people turn d t it \\'itb a lov e and longing whicb still 1110\ e-. th~ '.pirit of mcn in their imperishahle Psalm." Sbll that \\'onderful people- preserved through trials and persecution 0 mar\'C~lloll,>ly that it "till '-;ccm'-i marked for some high, mysterious destiny\ eneratcs Jcru"akm a. the city of its dreams, its prayers and its bope . To the Chri"tian it is the home of e\'en holicr and more ballO\yed mcmoric'>; for its "treets felt th footprint, it , court and garden ' heard the \'oic , of the bighest and holie t of tbe sons of men-of Him in whom (TOc! \\ alked thi" earth and poke to men as a friend. Hi longing lo\'c for Jerll"alcm was uttered in words of unforgettable pathos. There IIe '>utTered, died, \ya buried, and 1'0 e again. There Hi spirit flowed into the hearts of men. \Vben the holy place.., fell into the hands of tile infidel, the chi\'alry of Europe sacrificed itself in a pac; ' i nate desire to rescue. Thither for long centuries hundreds of pilgrim haTe wended their way from e\'ery region [the earth. till in eyer)' part of Chri. tendom, \yhere meIl as'-;cmble to celebrate the mo t acred rite of their religion, a memorial is ofTered \\hi h tak s their spirit back to the upper room in Jerusalem. Truly e\'cry man and woman in \\'hom the 01..11 i li\' ing must need. say, "If [ forg l thee, 0 Jerusal e m, let my right han I forget h r cunning. " \Y c of all olher. who belong to thi Order have our o\\'n ,'ery special a 'sociation with the Holy City. \Ye bear it nam, Its hi tory and ours are ins parably bound together. Nine hundred and se\'enteen years b<we passed since the merchant ' of .A malfi set up within its gate a ho pital [or pilgrims, dedicated to t. J obn Ele mon, \vhich soon became the noble hospital dedicated to St. John the Baptist, an I the central home of the wide-spl-ead Order of the Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusal III with their Knights, their Chaplains, and their en'ing Brothers. DI'i\'en forth by the conquering aladin 730 y ars ago, the Order set the reSCll of the city before their face as the supreme object of their care. From this place \\'here \ye are as . embled our father ent forth

their arm, their prayers, and their knight to aid the great adventure of the Cru ades. It was an adventure tained, inde d, by ferocity and feuds, typical of a wild and pa sionate time, but yet it was ennobled by devotion to a high ideal. It gave to the Middle ges the great tradition of Chiyalry, the central fire of arm, of literature and art. E\'en now, thi restored Engli h branch of the Order has gi\'en proof of it faithfulne ' to the old ideals and traditions, in the Ho pital of l. J Ohll, which look ' across the Valley of Hinnom to the tomb of David, and beyond it to the citadel of Zion and the holy places of the Lord. F\ r all tl1 e centuries, through manifold \'ici ' situdes, this Order has been mindful of its origin, and its heart has kept repeating the refrain, " If I forget thee, o Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. ') We therefore of all others must need ha\'e been thrilled by the n \\' S that a Briti h Army had entered and taken po s ession f J rusalem. Most fitting is it that we should a ' emble to gi\' thanks to .\lm ighty God for this fulfilment of an age-long hope and desire. It wa indeed with no pomp and pageantry of the Mi ddle .\ gC'l that th Briti ' h General, on the 11 th December, entered the J aiIa Gate and proclaimed on !fount Zion that t.he long struggl of the 'rusade<; had at last been achieved, The city \Va won, not by hosts of knight<, with wa\'ing pennants and shining armour, but by plain citizens in arm<;- our bro.thers taken from the fields and th factories of England and the pla1l1 and cities of the British Dominions beyond the ' eaST Their memories of the holy place. may ha\'e b en faint and few recalling distant days in our Eng-Ii h schools; but, however uncon<.,ciollsly, they ~oo, like the Crusaders, were giying proof of their 10) ally to a high ldeal. We may dare to belie\'e that it was an ideal not ull\yorthy of Him who, when He stood in t.he city of Jerusalem, nfronting the representatives of the world-power of I Ii , human day, s t bcf are 1I im the claims of a higher and nobler kingdom of moral and 'lpiritllal truth. How long we may be in pas ession of the lIoly ity "hat th future political settlement of Pale tine may be- the ' e things are uncertain. What is certain is that a new era in the history of the 11l0~t sacred city of the world dawned on that day when it wa placed within the care of a great Christian nation. But J eru alem i not only the centre of hallowed memories; it is the sy ~bol and the type of that spiritual City of God, that diyine order whlch neyer come and yet is eyer coming- the city laid up in the heavens, who ' e Maker and whose Builder is God. E\'en when the earthly J eru alem had been burned and wa ted by the legions of Rome, the see; of Patmos saw the H eavenly ity, the lI oly Jeru . alem, descend1l1g out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. To that vision I would bid you lift your ey s and hearts this day. To him it was a V1S1On of the Church of Christ, adorned a a bri Ie for her husband. Since then, to countless generations of Christian it has been a vision of that city of peace in which the long travail of the human spirit finds its rest and its reward- a vision which ha sustained the hope of the human race. It has given mankind courage to endure the seeming [utility of its hig hest ideal s, and the pathos of its doom of death. ] erusalem, my happy home, Name ever dear to me, \Yhen ~hall my labours have all end, Thy JOYs when shall I see?

SERVI E OF THA , KSGIVING.

" 'hen shall my eyes lhy heaven-built walls And pearly gates behold, Thy bulwarks wilh salvation slrong, And treels of shining gold?

In this longing for rest, in this invincible faith that there is some higher d stiny for human life than can here be fulfilled man has in e.\·ery age repeated to him elf, ,( If I forget thee, 0 J eru' alem, let my nght hand forget her cunning. " Yet to us of this Twentieth Century the vision bring an e\' en nobler meaning. speaks to us not only of the promise of a peace hereafter, but o[ til Ideal and goal of resolute and high-hearted effort here and nov:. \y~ .arc to ee the hea\'enly city, the holy Jerusalem, not 0 much awaItIng u~ hereafter as here and now, descending out of hea\'en [rol11 God, calling us to bring it light and order into the human life and society in which we ha\'e to fulfil our service. The whole of human hi">tory may indeed be rightly regarded as one long struggle bet\yeen Babylon, the po\\' r of material Might. and Jerusalem the ideal of mor,:1 Right. .Is it presumption that ,,'e hould ee i~1 this pre ent conOlct a tage tIl that age-lo ng stl-uggle? !\Iay \\'e not dare to believe that \\' are meeting the challenge of a great po\\'er swollen with the ambition to achie\'e world-dominion by material force' with the ideal of a higl; I' ki~lgdom of truth and ju tice and mercy ~nd freedom and pace! If It be so, \\'e ha\'e indeed to tay our souls in the mid t of incrca ing strain, on the height and _trength of ou; spiritual ideal. There are ">till harder sacrifices which \\'e must meet still more bitter trials \\'hich we mu~t endure; let u meet ' them \\'ith the refrain of c:.m rage ri~ing in our heart - " If I forget thee, 0 Jerusalem, let my rIght hand forget her cunning." In th. days. to come may we be mindful of this heavenly \'ision. This generatIon \\'111 be called to the task of rebuilding a civilisation which het b~ n shaLlered by the convul 'ion ' of war. The que tion which the ~onsclen 'e of tr.e men and women of this generation will have to meet IS the que tion \\'hether in our r building \\'e are to follow material or spi ritual ideab, whether Babylon or Jeru alem is to prevail. The call to restore and rebuild the earthly J eru alem tirred the hearts of the Hebrew exiles and ummoned Chri tendom to the great adventure of the Middie ges; in the Tw ntieth Century the call to restore and rebuild on earth the heavenly J eru alem, the city of spiritual ideals in our land and empire, and in the wider commom\'ealth of nation n;u t arol: e within u a like ' pirit of chivalrou ad\'enture .

SERVICE OF THA ' KSGIVI G.

In the coming truggle between materialism on the one hand and spiritual ideals upon the other-between the pursuit of private advantage, comfort and eas , and the pursuit of a truer polity based upon fellowship for the conimon good - there is no doubt a to the place which the members of this Order, if they are faithful to their high tradition , mu t take. It is for them to give witne ' s resolutely and undauntedly to the spiritual, the ideal; to ay ea eJe. ly, amid the clamour of rival policies, " If I forget thee, 0 Jerusalcm, let my right hand forget her cunning." I t is not only the trust of the Holy Places in Jerusalem that has been committed to this nation, but the higher and nobler tru t of the faith and ideal of which the ' e are but the earthly symbols. So may the capture of Jerusalem be the parabJ and the promise of the capture of all th nergies of our ocial and national life for the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ.

With a view to expanding the work of the .\ssociation and bringing the organi~alion more into line with ci\' il AMBU LANCE and military requirements and for the purpoo..,co.., of A SSOC IATIO N. decentralisat.ion il has been decided to establish County Cent.res in groups or parts of ounties. It io.., considered that the establishmenl of County Centres will facilital amI co-ordinate the work of existing Centres and Delached Classes, and certain dutieo.., such as will ensure the closer co-operation bel ween Headquart.ers and the local branches in forwarding the wod< of the Ao..,sociat.ion will be delegated to Committees of Count.y Cenlres. Existing Centres arc, for the most part, in favour of the scheme and it. is hoped thal before long County Centres will have been organised. With this object it was decided that Cent.res should be visited during the year by the Chief Secretary. It. is not considered possible to arrange visits to every Centre in each county and meetings will therefore be arranged at ome town convenient for all concerned. During the period under review meetings have been heJd al Hull, Sheffield, Manche ter and Leed ' , while Alverstoke, York, Lymington and the Isle of Wight have also been visited. The Director of the Ambulance Department. was able to be present at t.hese meet.ing which were all most satisfactory. RE-OR GAN I SATIOt.

OF THE ST . JOHN

The certificates of the British Red Cross ociety and the St. ndrew's Ambulance Association are now accepted as qualification for entry into the St. John Ambulance Brigade at home and overseas. It has been decided that for the period of t h e war members of V. A. Ds. who have completed three months' whole time work in a hospital should be permitted t.o enter examinations in F irst Aid and Home Nur ing without attend ing the usual cour e of instruction. NEW

OCIATIO.K.

TRUCTIOX.

It has abo been dec ided that R . .. \. M. C. men should be permitted to enter for examinations for First Aid and Home Nursing certificat s of the £\ ~socialion wit.houl allending the usual course of in ·truction provided they are in possession of the Army Certific~te and that the officer commanding their unit certifies that they are effiCient.

The revision of the IIome Nursing Text-book referred to . in last year' report has been completed and the T.ext-b0.ok Revision 'ommittee are to be congratulated on the manner 10 which they have carried out this work. . . The IIome Office Welfare Orcler-a copy of which was reproduced 10 last year' report- has led to the formation of classes in a large numb~r of factories and workshops. It is po sible that the Welfare Order ,-\,111 be enlarg-ed upon and empha is laid on the importance of as many employees a pO ', ible poo..,ses ing a knowledge of Fir 't Aid and being in ' lrucled in the application of sterilised dre ·sings. :\ larg-e number of classes in First Aid and Home Nursing have bee~l org-anised in various unit of the .\rmy both at home ~nd abro~d especIally the 68th (\V Ish) and 23rd Divisions; since the 111~roductlOn of the Army Educational cherne the number of lectures so gl~en has great~y increased. lasses ha,'e also been held amongst the pnsoners of war 111 :Jermany and tho e interned in witzerland. It i~ h?ped that in c<:ur e of time the importance of a knowledge of First Aid 10 the Army wtll be morc thoroughly recogni ed . The num bel' of cla. es helel during the past year ha not been so great as in lhe previous year. Tbis j probably accounted for by the fact that the number of medical men a" a ilable has teadily decreased ince the beg-inning of th e war, anJ their tim e bas been fully tal~en up by the extra work t.hrow\1 on tbeir hands. The Ambulance C0111111lttee hope ' that at the end of the war the return of many of the As ociation's lecturers will make it possible to organise classe ' wherever necess.ary, ~nd it is desirou'-. of emphasising the necessity of a knowledge of First Aid at the present time when there are 0 many thousands of people to whom those in po 'ses 'ion of First Aid and Home Nursing certificates could be of use. Applications for examinat.ion. for the Demon trator's certificate have not been so many as last year. ince their institution in September, 191 G 199 certificates have been issued. D~ring the year t.he 1.. John mbulance Association has i ' sued 9,717 Medallions, 14,358 Labels and 2,253 Pendants.

Ambulallce Officer C. Hanmer who, as staled in last year's report, had been 'lppoinLed the official DemonFILM . strator of the First Aid Film prepared for the Association, has held many very succe ' sful meetings in various d istricts in England and Wales ' ince the Film was first exhibited in April. Two days ha\'e as a rule been allotted to each o[ the to\ ns visited, and lectures on various subjects connected with First Aid and illustrated by the film and by lantern slides have been deli vel ed. It .is in practical demonstration, however, that M r. Hanmer excels; he shows the proper treatment of injury in such a way as to make it clear to the merest tyro and at the sam time to be the envy of the most experienced competition team captain. A small charge i ' made by the ,A'>socialion but all profit , re 'ulting from the meetings are retained by the local promotors who have in many instances \ery generously forward d the proceeds to "Our Day" funds or the fund [or the re-erection o[ the St. John Ambulance Brigade Hospital in France. Apart from this these meetings ha\'e been the means of adding a stimulus to the interest .in ambulance work and the lectures are of interest not only to the First Aider but also to the general public. FIRST AID

Ambulance competitions arranged by the Metropolitan Police were judged on the 29th August, 1918, at the Zoological Gardens, by judges appointed by the 't. John COMPETITI ON. Ambulance ssociation. Amongst the Regular Ol1stabulary, judged by Dr. J. 1\1. Carvell and Mr. \V. R. Ed\\ ard~, , .. or H arrow Road Division won the St. John hallenge hield. In the competition for Special Constabulary, also judged by the same gentlemen, "W" or Brixton Division were the \ inners, \'ery closely followed by " S " or Albany Street Division. The St. ] ohn ,\mbulance Brigade teams secu red the premier position both Cor men and women in lhe .\ir R a id R elief Parties Competition. The judges [or this event were Dr. R. B. Du ncan and Dr. T. Halliwell. The tests were admirably" stag d " by Police-Sergt. Matthews of " S " Division. METROPOLITAN

POLICE

At the end of September there were 245 Auxiliary Hospitals organised under the au pices of the Order of St. Joh n, being an increase of 11 on the number of St. John ~.rzN H ospitals at t h e same time last year, with an addition of approximately , • ,f 500 beds . D uring the year there were also five hospitals added to the '" ;:;~mber organi ed under the Joint War Committee of the Order of St. ( ~ ( t:ftJ v -J ohn and the British Red Cross Society, providing an additional 600 • beds in England, and making a total of 26 Joint War Committee h osp itals.

bui ldings \\-ith bombs and machine guns, with the result that Sister Baines, "0 " Ward, was hit on the head and killed instantaneously. Eleven patients and four orderlies were also killed and many were wounded. i. ter . 'Don an Higginson suffered severely from shell hock, also ister Glubb to a lesser ciegree ; Sister M. T. Thompson, in addition to shell s hock was slightly injured; Sister Eadie sustained a Polt ' fracture; and Captains llall and Wilson received severe injuries. The material damage was very considerable. One bomb fell directly on " 0 " Hut, completely demolishing it ; all the Huts from" 1" to " Q " - the Medical Wards-were reduced to ruins; Huts" J," "K" and " L " also suffered greatly; at tbe back of the premises Huts" H " and " I " were destroyed; while all the glass of the Operating and Surgical Theatre was smashed. nder the direction oftbe Commanding Officer, Lieut. -Colonel C. J. Trimble, the whole of the taff carried out their resp ctive duties in the most admirable and fearless manner. Their deyotion to duty has been recognised by the Order', which has a\varded to Colonel Trimble its Gold Life-Saving Medal, and has also awarded two ilver and a number of Bronze Life-Saving Medals. By order of the Military Authorities the Hospital was moved to Trouville, or to peak more accurately to the heights above the viria e of Deauville. The demolition of the Ho pital for the purpose of removal began in the middle of June, and all expenses in connection with its removal and re-erection were met by the very generou response to the appeal for funds made by the Director of the mbulance Department . Mr. F. , . Phillips, a Donat of the Order, who ince the beginning of the war ba. been indefatigable in ,,'ork connected with aid to the sick and w unded under the au pices of the Order, went oyer from England to a sist oloncl Trimble and his staff, rendering 'ervices of a high order. Not only did be assist in tbe removal of the Hospital but when it wa'> re-erected he acted as Honorary Secretary for a lengthy period and through his energi s the ultimate sale of the Hospital was arranged. I t appears fitting to quote here the following : SPE I L ORDER OF THE DAY. (20th Janu a ry, 1919) . L1ELT.-COLONEL C. J. TRli\IBLE , C .

I n issu ing this Order I propo e to deal with the several sections of the personnel eparately, but before doing thi may I say a few words concerning the Hospital. I n October, 1914, the Order of St. John decided to offer a 520 bedded Hosp ital to the Government. This was done, and the authorities accep ted th~ proposal. A Committee was formed and the organ isation o~ t h e H ospItal and the election of the staff proceeded with. After some discus ' ion Etap les was chosen as the site of our institution, and to this

locality some of the staff came on the 22nd July, 1915, the building of the Hospital baving begun in ,\ pril, 1915. Our first convoy \"as taken in on the 8th 'eptember, 1915, and after that the \\'heels of the Unit ne\' r ceased to turn round, sometll11eS fairly quietly and at other times with great rapidity and a \"hid which indicated much work and strain, but with our magnificent ~ta(T, good equipment, unanimity of purpose, no pressure ever al[ cted the scientifIc or other efficiency of our work. Tho e from the outside who 'iaw U'i (indivi duals well qualified to pa s an opinion) expre" ed in no uncertain \\ ords their admiration and approval of the splendid \\ ork th e Hospital wa!:> doing. It is only just to ourselves to say that the'l. John ,\mbulance Brigade Hospital \vas looked upon as one of the be'it, if not actually the best hospital of it type in France. As one who has had the honour to be connected with it sincc its \'cry beginning, and also to have had the proud satisfaction or commanding it since July, 1916, I well know what joy and satisfaction it i to realise all his Unit has done for our sick and wounded "oldieI'.. 'iVhen in May, 1918, the Hun bombed our lIospitallikrall) to piece, killing and wounding many of our patients and personnd, it \\'l'i thcn my privilege to notice that steadiness, bra\'ery and determination of the whole taff.

M.edical and Surgical Staff. - The repntation built up and maintained by the Hospital, together with tbe splendid Medical, 'urgical and Research work done, all stand to the credit ofLhe 11edical Officers. Let it here be thoroughly understood that. no lI1stitution could b placed in a stronger position than this one, as the Officers who joined were the flower of the Medical and Surgical branches of the profes!:>ion. Ample opportunity was afforded to these Officers to use all their skill and knowledge, as the convoys of sick and wounded sent for admission to us were always composed of the most seriou cases. As it i well known for the past two years of our service at Etaples no walking cases were admitted except those composed of Officer patient. Under the most strenuous conditions (on many occasions the pres ure was so great as to necessitate all-night work) no body of men couIe!. have given more devoted or self-sacrificing work; their interest and sympathies went out. to the fullest extent to the sick and wounded committed to our care. It can well be remembered the strain that was thrown on us during the severe fighting which occurred in the Loos offensive October 1915 first ?attle .of the Somme, July, 1916, Lens to Arr~s, April,' 1917: Messmes Rld~e, September, 1917, Cambrai, November, 1917, and the German offen lve at St. Quentin in March, 1918.

HOSPITAL.

It was when working under great pressure that opportunity was given for discerning the earnestness and devotion of the Medical and Surgical Staff. The Re earch work accomplished in the Laboratory of the Hospital is of the utmo t importance and will in future be more heard of. The two officers in charge of this department have laboured assiduously, and I trust. their determination to shed more light on some of the dark pathological path will reap the reward it deserves. Trained Sisters and V.A.Ds. - In speaking of our trained Sister I embrace t.he opportunity of testifying to the splendid and untiring work performed by them in the interests of their patient. At all times during the stay in the IIospital at Etaples their work was arduous and trying, and yet by their gentle and continuous care in nursing, feeding and attending on the many helple'>s cases committed to their charge did those trained isters estahlish a great confidence in their patients. No reward can b too great for their ever present devotion to their calling. Our V. A. D. 1 Tur'>es deserve special and generou mention for the part they have played in the sen'ice of the Hos pital. Many of these young ladies had not prior to the \var done any work of an arduous nature, and yet as volunteers they threw them elves whole-heartedly into their po!:>itions, and whether they were required to take duty within or \"ithout the wards, their work was of a high order. These V. A. D. r Tu r es soon gained a substantial and useful knowledge of nursing which enabled them to render very \ aluable assi tance to the trained 'i ter.." Their usefulne s and a si tance in IIospital detail ha been most valuable and has earned for them a lasting debt of g"ratitude. Warrant Officers. 1 Ton-Commi sioned Officer and l\1en of the Provi..,ional ompany of the R. A.l\l. C. attached to the Ho pital; no body of men could ha\'e more thoroughly, con cientiou ly and earnestly performed your dutie. Recruited and selected from the St. John mbulance Brigade it can \V 11 be understood that your acceptance of enlistment wa prompted by the spirit to enable you to do good service in the Ilo'ipital of the Order of St. John, and right well you have performed you r self-imposed compact. Your skill as trade men was and is an a .. et not easy to \'alue. Good first-aiders and many ,,·ith an elementary knowledge of nursing, your u efulness was without question. s time went on this superficial knowledge deepened until you be ame expert ward orderlies. All prai e is due to you for your gentle and sympathetic care in handling the very ick, and badly wounded; being experts in Str'etcher Drill the moving of wounded with the lea t suffering came as second nature and was on all occa ions performed with an expertness and tenderne which delighted all who witnessed you performing this work. Your general good conduct, smartness, respectful bearing, and excellent di cipline, made you a credit to the Unit and a pride of your Officer Commanding. No matter in what section of the work your services were requisitioned, you responded most loyally, and entered on your duties with enthusiasm; you are de erving of all praise. I must specially note the good work done by the Clerical section of the Company. The Admini tratiYe Offices were always staffed with willing workers with the result that accuracy and efficiency at all times prevailed.

To the Mechanics, Electricians, Cooks, General Duty Orderlies, and oth er details I say I am proud to have had command of such a body of men. To the Company as a whole I say you have earned the g-ratitude of many a sorely wounded hero, and you ha\'e discharged your duty to your King and Country, and the ncient Order of 'to John "right nobly." In con clusion let me offer [or the acceptance o[ all ranks and grade. of those erving with the St. John .\mbulance Brigade IIospital my co rdial and grateful thanks for the court sy and kindne s ] have received on all s ides during the two years and a half of my command. No Officer Commanding could possibly have had more loyal or devoted support, and this alone ha enabled me to ., carryon." I part with you all on demobilization with genu ine sorrow, but I feel that the memory of pleasant surroundings, and your helpfulness, \\hich raised the Hospital to the proud positiun it has occupied, soft ns my grief and con oles me. You have by your !->elf-denial and zeal indi "idually and collectively fulfilled in no uncertain way the moUoe of the Ancient Order of t. John :-" Pro fide," " Pro utilitate hominum." (Signed) CHARLE J. TRI~[BLE, Lieut.-Col., R. £\. I.e., Officer Commanding, St. John \mbulance Brigade Hospital.

The War ha again affected the number of candidates for re-examination for Labels, many women, men of the County and Borough I olice, and the Midland Railway being absent in the service of their Country, and the extra work thrown on those at ho~e preYentin oo their attendance . A ucces fuI Nursing class of MISS Stansfeld ~s students was held at her Physical Training College and one for First Aid for the men and women cmployed at th. aerod~ome. During the past year 10,1+7 pairs of Mrs. A.

In civil work the Birmingham and District 1 ursing ociety has been largely helped by members of the Nursing Corps, and the men have given valuable assistance to the local hospitab. The Committee again desires to thank the honorary medical lecturers, class secretaries and donors to the fund , whose combined help bas resulted in qualifying so many members to mini ter to the wants of the sick and \vounded, and during the war to place the Birmingham Sl.

CHElTENHAM .

The most important question which has engaged the attention of the Committee during the year, has been that of securing premises for use as head-quarters. A number of classes ha\'e been held in First Aid and Home Nursing, but at the examinations there wa-.; a falling off of candidates which leaves much to be desired.

"Ve regret to record the death of Dr. Hine, for many years a lecturer to the classes of the Centre.

FARNHAM.

There is not much to report in connection with this Centre for the past year owing to so many men being on Active Service, and to the difficulty in obtaining lecturers. The annual Chu rch Parade was held on June 30th, and again proved a great success, altogether about 130 ambulance men and women attending. The collection, ·w hich was for the 1.

No classes have been held in First Aid or Home Nursing during the past twelve month~, owing 1.0 the dearth of medical tuition, and as a result many would-be tudents ha\'e been disappointed.

Owing to the new regulations in regard to the provision of First Aid requisites in factorie' and workshops there has been a con ' iderable increase in the number of ambulance boxes issued by the Committee under the charge o[ qualified men in workshops, etc., in connection with the engineering and wood trades. The reports of SO boxes shew that First Aid was rendered in 4778 cases, of which 189 were removed to Hospital.

MBULA CE

Honorary Associates of the Order, in recognition of their service to the Association. Ambulance Day in Christchurch took place on March 8th, 1918 when a sum of £456 5. Oel. was realised. Red Cross work is , till being vigorously carried on by joint committee of the J\ssocialion and the N. Z. Branch of the British Reel Cros ociety. Up to the 31 st of May, 1918, this entre has, since the outbreak of war, forwarded goods of the value of £13+,173 and remitted £93,6+9 i0s. 4d. in cash [or Red Cross purpo e in the various theatres of war. During the year classes have heen held at I andy, Colombo, Nuwara Elija, Galle, and Panadura, in which 152 person have qualified in First L\id and Home Nul' -ing. CEYLON.

The year has been a very str nuou. one for all branches of Association ,,'ork. The classes ha\' !lot heen so numerous owing to many persons being occupied in war work, and results from a number of country classes haye not c me to hand owing to the influen za outbreak. The district nurses (three in Dun din ity) have made 5,233 visit during the year among -t the sick poor, and their assistance has been very much appr cialed by the <;uITcrers. The Transport Service-1 motor and 2 horse-drawn v hicles has been utilised to its utmost capacity, especially during No\'(~mber and December during the influenza epidemic. From l'\ o\'em ber 5th to December 13th 450 case were taken into the ~rain IIospital. The Centre, by its continuous teaching and propaganda, ha educated thi community to understand fully the yalue o[ First Aiel and Home Nursing, and during the la t two months members han.! done ex ellent service in the cause of the sufferers. £300 was cabled to the Head Office [or the use of the Brigade Hospital, Etaple. DUNEDIN,

the Joint War Committee of the British Red Cross Society and Order of St. John both by the personal services of the members and by contributions of money, etc. The courtesy and regard shown to the Centre by Colonel F. Ashley, the Commissioner of the Committee in Malta, has been much appreciated. The Ladies' Committee has continued to render most excellent services for the benefit of the sick and wounded in the local hospitals and it has on several occasions received the thanks of IIis Excellency the Governor, and of both the Commissioner and the Joint War Committee. In YIay, 1916, Her Excellency the Lady Methuen kindly accepted the Committee's invitation to become Patroness of the Nul' ing Branch. At the request of His Excellency the Governor, and as the representatives of the Royal Humane Society, the Centre during this period carried out the investigation of and reported upon eighteen case" of saving of persons from drowning.

N.Z.

During the h\'o years ended 30lh cptember, 1917, the number of Courses of In"truction held was 24, of ",hi h 14 were in First Aid to the Injured, 8 in Home l'\ur ' ing', 1 in IIome Hygiene and 1 in Sanitation. The clas es in First . id and Home Nursing were attended by 277 and 148 pupils respecti\'ely, while se\' n separate re-examination s for the higher awards were also held. Circumstances connected with the stale of war have lately, howe\'er, caused the attendance at the classes of instruction to diminish appreciab ly. At the request of the local delegate of the Italian Red Cross Society two of the courses in first aid were given for the benefit o[ members of that Society. Many of the courses \,'ere held to enable persons to qualify [or admis~ion into the local corp of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Oversea. for service in connection with the war. This Centre has, as in former years, contributed in a very great measure to the successful working of the Corps, both in the training of the personnel and by financing and equipp in g the several Divisions. This cooperation was g ladly given as it enab led the Corps to supply all the nurses and orderlies required [or duty 111 the local military hosp ita ls and with the Maltese Labour ' Corps abroad. The Centre continued to co-operate abo with the loc al representatives of MALTA.

REPORTS FROM CENTRES.

SSOCIATION.

17 female and 2 male classe, have been held during the year. +38 female and 26 male candidates having gone through a cour<,e of instruction. This constitutes almost a record year for the centre, the only year in which a higher number of awards were granted being 1915, when the number was 576. NATAL.

NEW SOUTH

The Twenty-eighth Annual Report of the Centre shows a teady increase in the amount of work which has been accomplished between 1st October, 1917, and 30th September. 1918. Tbe first two months of 1918 were rather quiet, but later on there aro e a large demand for cIa ses, and these, when added to the average number of the last two years, brought up the total to one even greater than that recorded in the last report. Seventy-five First Aid and thirty-five Home Nursing clas es have been held, and of the 2,607 men and women who have received instruction 2,235 have been succes ful in gaining certificates and other awards. The recent introduction of the Pendant seems to have been much appreciated and has added to the number of persons attending examination in Home 1 Tursing. More than ordinary intere t was shown at the appointment of ir "\ alter Dm"idson to be Governor of thi State, as it was known that amongst his di tinctions was that of being a Knight of Grace of the Order of Sl. John, while Lady Da\Tidson is a Lady of Grace. Upon their arrival the Centre presented an address of welcome coupled with ~he request lhat they would honour the Centre by becoming respectively It. patron and patrones, and to this His E 'cellency and Lady Davidson kindly consented. The Committee i pleased to note that Mr. W. Buchanan Gray, a former member of the Executive Committee, has been elected Chairman of the Durban (Natal) Centre. The death of Lieut.-Col. G. Lane Mullin, in March last carne as a severe blow to the Centre. He was a Knight of Grace of the Order of St. J obn and was the first Commis ioner for Australia of the Brigade; for many years he held the position of Deputy Chairman and acted a one of the lecturers and examiners of the New South Wales Centre. He was also a member of the Executive Committee of the Red ros, New South Wales Division, from the time of its establishWALES.

THE ST.

JOHN AMBUL NCE

OClATION.

ment. As Officer Commanding No. 4 Base Hospital at Randwick, Colonel Mullins found hi duties so onerous that he was obliged to relinqui h bis po ition on the Executive Committee of the Centre. In view of all his past valuable services to the Order of St. John he was unanimously elected a Vice-President. I t is with much regret that the retirement of Mr. Boles R. Rainsford from the position of honorary ecretary has to be recorded. For fourteen years he has devoted himself whole-heartedly to the work of the Centre in thi State, and during this long period he ha spared neither time nor trouble in advancing its aims and interests. The 10 s by his retirement, which is caused by pre s of private busine. s, i~ mitigated by the fact that he continues to be a member of the Executive Committee. Mr. H. G. Williams, who, on account of his appointment as secretary to the Newcastle Ho pital, has re. igned from the Executive, is much missed; he had been a member for many year, and a. the secretary of the Life Saving As. ociation his special knowledg-e and advice wer of much use. The Committee has pleasure in presenting the first report of the new Queen land Centre. During the year just closed the main work of the Centre ha been the spread of facilitie for obtaining knowledge in rendering fir t aid to the injured and in home nursing. Out ide of the Metropoli'i classes have been e tablished at Ipswich, Toowomba, Warwick, Dalby, Landsborough, Maleny, Buderim, Gladstone, Rockhampton, Mount Morgan, harters Towers, Townsville, Kuridala, Atherton, and Irvinebank. J n all, 55 examinations were held, and certificates awarded to 475 tudent.. The financial position of the Centre is satisfactory. QUEENSLAND.

The number of classes held during the year t37) was 10 less than for the previous year. Thi decrea e is probably due less to a falling off in the intere t of First Aid work than to the serious depletion of the population by enlistments. roreover, the dearth of medical practitioners and the increased \\"ork devolving on the remaining practitioners have decreased the facilities for lecturing and examining classes. Practically the whole of the Constabulary of the State have qualified under the rules of the Association to render first aid to the injured, while every member of the permanent starr of the Fire Brigade is required to qualify. During the year a Voluntary Aid Detachment has been formed \\'ith the view to assisting in connection with war work, principally at hospitals, and much enthusiasm ha been shown by the ladie who have joined. The matter of the transport of accident cases and the sick in the Metropolitan Area has been engag-ing the attention of the Council for some time past, and the sum of £375 has been set aside a . the nucleus of a fund with which to organise and equip a depOt and provide full ambulance facilities in the same manner as obtains in the other capital cities of Australia. The Government has been approached in regard to a site for the depot, which, if granted, will greatly assist the COllncil in launching the project.

RESIGi':ATION.

Two Certificates were submitted for "endorsement" to the Head Office, London, during the year, to mark specially meritorious First Aid services rendered. viz. :- F. W . Tuckett's, Postmaster at Ha ll 's Creek, and .T. Kendrick's, a railway official on the Geraldton line. The past year has been one of less activity than the three preceding years, there having been little direct opportunity for definite and special ambulance work. The Committee ha. devoted its attention mainly to th e collection and distribution of sums of money for the purpose of procuring comforts for the sick an~ wounded and for the alleviation of suffering and distress caused by the war. The attendance at classes has not been so good as in previous years, the m n who would in normal times have availed themselves of First ,\id in truction being on . ervice. 1r. C. P. Powle' , after many years of service, especially a Honorary Tr ac;urer and President , having res igned through ill health, was elected a Vice-President. Th e Committee is pleased to report however that Mr. Powles ha again become Honorary Treasurer. I t is with great regret that the death on the 4th of February of the valued and re pected President of the Centre, Mr. E . Balcombe Brown has to b recorded. Mr. Brown for many years rendered valuab le sen-Ice to the s ociation as a member of the Committee and as Chairman and Treas urer. M r. G. ,\. Troup was unanimously elected to the position of --- hairman.

WELLINCTON,

NEW ZEALAND.

ADDENDUNl. I t is with great regret that the resignation of the Earl of Ranfurly as Director of the Ambulance Department and DIRECTOR AND Chairman of the mbulance Committee is recorded. Lord CHAIRMAN . Ranfurly was appointed Director and Chairman by H. R. H. The Grand Prior in January, 1916, to fill the vacancy caused by th e promotion of the Earl of Plymouth to the office of SubPrior of the Order, and held the appointment until Easter, 1919. During- his term of office Lord Ranfurly assiduously and untiringly devoted himself to the work of the Ambulance Department and spared neither time nor trouble in furthering its interests . The grateful thank~ of the Ambulance Committee are due to him for his se lfsacrificing devotion to the work of the Department. The Grand Prior has been graciously pleased to appoint the Earl of Donoughmore, K. P. to the vacant office. RESICNATION

My LORD, 1 have the honour to submit my report for the Brigade year ending 31sL December, 1918. Although du ring the year embraced by this report, hostilities, wiLh a fe\v minor exceptions, h"l\'e ceased, it is -till impossible to give a complete return of the Brigade, as a large proportion of the members are still serving in the work of clearing up. Excluding the Brigade in \Vales, the pre ent strength of the Home Brigade in England and Ireland remains approximately at 60,000. +0 new Ambulance Divi ' ions and 22 Nursing Divisions, with a total strength of 790 have been formed and registered during the year. That port ion of the Brigade previously rai ed and serving in Wales is now under the Priory for Wales, as the \Velsh Brigade. It is composed of the whole of No. XL Di trict and the \Velsh Division of No. II. District, 166 Division ~ in all with a total strength of 5,500. The relations which "will in future exist between it and the Home Brigad have not yet been officially settled. The ci \'ii \vork of the Brigade bas been carried out ,,·hen and where required, but with the cessation of air-raids, and the closing down of munition works, the call has not been as hea"y a in the two previous year. The provision of an • ssi tant Commissioner for each county i ' being carried out as uitable persons are found willing to take up the work. With the ce sation of hostilitie the Brigade return to peace time work, the sphere and amount of which will probably be considerably enlarged in conjunction with the many schemes of National \iV elfare at pre ent under consideration. Thi will probably more particularly affect the ursing Divisions. Should the British Red Cross ociety also be in a position to take up similar work, it i expected that both b'odies v,-ill work together with the harmony and loyalty which ha existed between them in their war work. There will be plenty for all to do, and the efficiency \Vith which it is carried out will be proportionate to their combined efforts. 239 Long ervice Medals and 6 Long Service Medal Bars ha\'e been awarded. (See Appendix V., page 109). CIVI L WORK .

Letters of appreciation of the services rendered by the Brigade to His Majesty's Naval and Military Forces have been received from the Director-General of the N a\'al Medical Service, Admiralty, and the Director-General of the Army Medical Service, War Office. (See Appendix 1., page 99).

In addition to the 'e members, 721 men and +,2+3 women have gl\'en their services as Orderlies, and V, A, D.

There are besides many members who have gi\en their services wholly or partially, not directly under the Admiralty or the 'Var Office, in Hospitals, in Transport work or such other duties as they may have been asked to perform locally, and I regret that at present it is impossible to estimate their numbers. And finally there are many members of Ambulance Divisions who were of military age who either joined of their own accord, r were called up to join, fighting units, the numbers of whom also 1 regret to say I am unable at present to obtain.

I regret to say that the Casualties amount to 307 during the year, making a total of 915 Casualties during the war. (See Roll of Honour Appendix III., page 101). There are still many members of the Brigade Reserves retained on service, about 70 per cent of those who joined up, and a Memo. has been addressed to the Secretary of the War Office asking for their demobilization at the earliest possible moment now that their services

with the sick and wounded must, to a very great extent, be at an end. I should like to call attention to the fact that out of 21, 986 m~n mobilized only 6 have been discharged for misconduct. (See AppendIX

11., page 100). "B' d t d I think I am justified in saying that the pOSltlOn of,the ~1ga e 0- ~y i stronger than it ha ever been, it has proved It~elf, 111 w~r a'::i I,n peace, it is greater in numbers, and from the pract~cal experIence 1~ ha ' been through it i more efficient.

Report of the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief of

acting as Honorary Treasurer and Honorary Secretary. A most graLifying letter has been received from Colonel Trimble thanking all the workers for their great help and assistance to the Hospital.

Nursing Corps and Divisions. SIR, I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending 1918.

During the year 1918, 1,0+6 members have been posted to Military Hospitals. t the end of December, 1918, the tolal number of Brigade members serving at home and abroad was 1,344. These figures do not include those posted locally by the County Director. MEMBERS ON

SERVICE.

During the year I vi ited No. Ill. District and the following Hospitals in Birmingham :Highbury V.A. D. Ho pital, Birmingham. 4th Aux. Hospital (Officer), " Harborne Hall V. A. D. Hospital, " V.A.D. Club " Rest Station " Hall on behalf of and spoke at a large recruiting iJeeting in lh Town the Brigade, the Bishop of Birmingham presiding. I was much impressed by the keenness and enthusia m of the ursing- Diyisions at Birmingham, and the splendid way in which lhe Members \yere working as V. A. Ds. in the hospitals. Mrs. Porter, the Lady orp' uperintendent, by her energy and zeal has done a great deal to encourag-e the work there.

During the year 1918, 432 members of the Brigade have worked in the Civil Ho pitals in London, making a total or 8,5+8 atLendances. Their help wa especially appreciated during the innuenza epidemic . In a letLer from one of the Hospital Matron s she slates :-" I musl thank you for all the help your members have given me. Their \\'or k has been invaluable to me and they have one and all been quite succe ful."

Eleven Members were posted to the St. J 01111 mbuJance Brigade Hospital in France from th follo\\ ing I i...,tricts : I., 11., IlL, IV., VI., \ IlL, IX., XII. In June two Members received the A. R. R. ., namely Mi s 1. Batey and Mi s II. Trimble. When the hospital was re-opened at Trouville it was decided to run the Sisters' Kitchen entirely with Brigade Members, and 'tlso to have Brigade Members for the household duties, I therefore, po..,ted Miss Cooper, from No. VI. District a Head Cook, and Mis 'tacey , No. VIII. District and Miss Carr, No. I. District, a AssisLant ooks. Matron and Staff spoke in the highest term' of the \yay these lembers carried out the work in the Kitchen. l\Iiss Hill, No. I. DistricL, lis Fraser, No. I. District, and Mis \Vilson, 1 o. XI1. istrict, 1 also posted as House Members.

anction has been given for a Women's Brigade Committee to be formed, the member of the Committee being all the Lady District uperintendents, two Lady Corps COMMITTEE. uperintendents (the latte r to be elected annually by the Committ e), and the taff Officer to the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, The Chairman of this Committee being the Lady Superintendent-inhief. This Committee will hold its first meeting early in 1919. The help given to me by my Staff Officer, Miss Mylne, ha been very great, and she has again detailed the members for work in the Civil Hospitals. The Hon. Katharine Thring ha given continual help in my office, and Nursing fficer 1\1rs. Holme has acted as Quartermaster at the Brigade Hospital Depot where she ha given me the very greatesl possible as istance.

BRICADE

HOSPITAL.

The DepOt at Halkyn Hou e, Belgraye quare, was closed at Chri tmas as no further bandage ' and dres 1I1gs were needed. 185 bale of various dressings and bandages etc. were sent from Halkyn House Depot during 1918, being an increase of 81 on the previous year. These bales contai ned 119,332 articles as against 70,970 in the previou . year, an increase of 48,352. So that for the two years of its existence the Depot has expedited 289 bale containing 190,292 articles, all of which we sent to the Brigade Hospital with the exception of the la t 40 bales which were sent to the first line Hospitals in London and the Provinces. It is very gratifying to learn that during the period that the Depot was open, just over 30 per cent of the worker qualified for the Badge for attendances, and that the heads of the various rooms were there from the inception; Mrs. Cozens-Hardy being the head of the Swab Room Mrs. Knight Stephens of the Bandage Room, and Mrs. Claud; Magniac of the Packing Department. I have acted as Lady Superintendent for the whole period, Mr. Phillips and Mr. H. K. Stephens

ER.

ST. JOHN'S GATE, CLERKENWELL, LONDON, E.C.1. June 5th, 1919. SIR, I have lhe honour to present my report for the period of fifleen month , ended December 31st, 1918. As it was only a few weeks before the end of the Brigade year that hostilities ceased, lhe period was one in which war activities played a prominent part. Although no hostile air raid actually occurred in the London District after May 19th, 1918, a number of serious air raid occurred during lhe year, and excellent work was done by both our men and nurses in rendering assislance to those injured. Twice bombs fell within a few yards of St. John's Gate. On one of these occasions a man was injured and brought into Head-quarters for treatment, but unfortunately died in Hospital lhe same night. It is hoped that never again will lhis country be subjected to such trying times as was experienced on the occasion of air raids, and I cannot speak too highly of the bravery shown, and the eagerness displayed by our members in reporting for duty, regardless of all risk when there was work lo do. To organisc thcir services so as to be available to the best advantage, both by day and by night, entailed severe strain on Head-quarters, and it is gratifying to know as has been previously I-eported, lhal the St. John Ambulance Brigade in

DISTRI CT.

London has received lhe gratcrul thanks of the Commissioner, Metropolitan Police, the Commissioncr of lhe City Police, and the Secretary to the London County Council. The strcss upon the members called upon to attend at thcir posts when air raids wen"! anticipated, bul did not actually mature, was severe, as frequently they were up all night on dui.,y, Clnd th e n had lo resume their ordinary occupation in lhe day limc. One of our members, a Private in the Lcytonstone Division, lost his life thl-ough injuries received from a bomb whilst preparing lo take up duty al his air raid station . Owin g to the spccial circumstances which the war has given rise to, the number of public duties which lhe Police ha\ e called upon the Bl-igade to perform, has again provcd exceptional, and even greatcr than in pl-evious years. In spile of the depletion of men caused by the operalion of the i\lilitary Service Acts, we have always been able lo fumish sufficicnt men and also nurses lo satisfy fully every call made upon us by lhe Police. The following is a list of lhe principal dUlics performed : Lord l\Iayur's Day, 1917 and 1918. Opening of Parliament, 12.2.18. Eastcr, \\'hitsun, and Augu t Bank IIoliday Duties. ~larch of .\mcrican Troops through London, 11. 5.18. Royal Progress. Thcir Majesties Silver \\' cdding, 6.7.18. \\'omen's Proces ion to Buckingham Palace, 29.6.18. i\Iarch of 'ilver Badgc l\Ien, 3.8.18. ervices at \Vestmin tcr and Sl. Paul's Cathedral, and Visil of II.i\I. The King to \\'ar Sbrine in Hyde Park, 4.8.18. Iceting of the Brilish \Vorkers League, 22.9.18. Conc 'rt at Alhambra Theatrc, 20.10.18.

For thc bettci' in tmction of Officers and Rank and File, a series of Combined Drills \\'a. held at the Temple Garden, during the summer months, ~~nd on one oeca ion the hid Commis ionel- altended, distribuled Service i\Iedals, and addl'e 'cd the gathering. \\'ith th e object of securing better efficiency, an Officers Training Course has been organised which meets monthly. Both senior and junior officers altend this course and also candidates \\'ho ha\'e been nominated for promotion but have nol passed the Offi er's Examination. On similar lines, dl-ills have been organised at which the District. Sergeant gives instruction to e rg-eanls and Corporal and prospective candidates for promotion. The strength of the DistriCl continues to increase, and on the 31st December, 1918, was 4,734 Medical and Ambulance Officers, .C.O. and l\Ien, 2,477 Tur ing Officers and islers, making a lolal trength of 7,211 Ambulance and Nursing Members. During the year two new Ambulance Divisions, and five I ursing Divisions, have becn formed. In conclusion I must acknowledge lhe help I have received from such members of lhe District laff a have been able to render assi tance. Miss V\Talker has al 0 continued her valuable help at Head-quarter. Without their help it would have been impo sible to can-yon the work of the District. I have the honour, Sir, lo remain, Your obedient servant, W. HUMPHRIS \VINNY , Commi sioner. Knight of Grace of the Order of St. J oho of Jerusalem in England.

During the period under review the Lady Superintendeot-in-Chief visited the District and inspected a number of units working as Voluntary Aid Detachments in BI-igade Auxiliary ~Iilitary Ho pitals. ~he visit lasted three days commencing at Roch?ale prol'e~d.lng as far as Ke WIck and fini hing at Liverpool. Fourteen Hospl.tals \V re \1 Ited and the tour co\-ered some 300 miles. The Lady District uperrnlendent (;\Irs. Twcedale) accompani d Ladv Perrott who expressed her satisfactioll ",ilh the \'isit. • So far a' the Brigade are concerned the usual dutie have beeo undertaken bv those left at home. In addi~ion d~r!l1.g the influenza epidemic the services of a larg~ numbel' of members of 1 ur Ing DI\' ISlons wel-e of great use to patients and in some places temporary hospit.als [or this disease were partly staffed by the Brigade. At Fleetwood a number of I eland fi herrnen suffering from this complaint were so treated. Thcl-e have been no inspections or competitions during the year. The Cammell Laird Corps, Birkenhead, held an Ambulance Camp in \\'ales during the year which was a great success. In con~lusion the Comn:issioner wishes me to say how much he appreciates the work whlch !las been carned on by all rank at home during the pa t arduous twelve month partlclIlady by tho e who have taken C'harge of units in the absence on service of offi ers. It is a. matter ?[. great satisfa tion t.o him to find that there are so many member o[ the Bngade WIllIng and capable to come forward under these circumstanc s and he is very pleased to say thrlt almost without exception he has been able to k eep in t?uch with all pre-war unit to date. He thinks thi is a matter for congratulallon. I have the honour to be, ir, Your obedient se r vant, The Chief Commissioner,

REPORT OF THE COi\nrr SIO="ER. ROCK CLIFFE, CHEADLE,

TOKE-ON -T RENT,

31st December, 1918. I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending 31st December, 1918. EI ven new mbulance Divi ions and five new Nursing Divi ions (making a total of 22 Corps, 180 Ambulance Divisions, and 96 Nursing Divi ions) ha\"e been formed during the fifteen months en ding 31st December, 1918. It is impossible to make a complete return of the aggregate membership of the Distl"ict. Man), Officers in charge of Divisions and Divisional Secretaries have been, and still are, away on acti\"e sel"vice, and consequently a large number of return have not yet been received, but I should estimate the strength of the District at 13,600. Nearly all ambulance men are called out [or transport work when am bulance trains arrive at various place, are engaged as hospital orderlies, escorts wh e n transferring cases from one hospital to another, etc. Nursing sistel" are doing duty as auxiliaries to the regular profe sional nursing staffs ill hospitals, and ill manv cases Nursing Divi ions are running entirely small convalescent hospitals. A large ;1umbel" of members, both men and women, have left their home to sen"e their country in this land and abroad, and I regret to report a further 101 casualtie from the date of my last report, bringing the tolal from the commencement of th.e war to 222. I have had reported to me that amongst the members from the District on active service the following awards have been gained during the period of the war ;Distinguished ervice Order 2 Military Cross 6 Royal Red Cross 4 Distinguished Conduct Medal 10 Military Medal 41 Meritorious Service Medal 2 Merit Certificates 3 Menlioned in Despatches 6 Russian Cross of St. George 2 Russian Sl. George's Medal 2 fR.

THE ST. J OHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

The following shows the nu mber of Bl-igade men who have gone on servicc in the medical units of the I avy and Army from lhe commencemcnt of war to 31st December, 1918;Royal Naval Auxiliary Sick Berth Reserve ++0 Royal Naval Division (l'Iedical Unit). 176 Expeditionary Force RA. I.C. and l\Iilitary Home Hospital Re erves . . . . 2586 The number of ~L. John ursing Sister recorded through St. John \" . l\.D. who have taken service in hospital at home and abroad i 268, but tl1l're are a great number doing hospital service intermittently of whom I have no rec0r-d.. . . On the 15th July, 191 , I issued a special and final appeal to the District lor lunds towards the reconstruction of th' Brigad~ Hospital, Etaples. The sum of £872 6s. 1d. was reached on the 14th December, 1918. l'1y warmest thanks were accorded to all ranks for their most generous response to the appeal. Since the date of my last report 67 ervice l\Iedals and 15 Bar have be 'n awardeu. A special feature of the yeal"s work has been in connection with the repatriation ot Prisoners of \Yar, both British and German, at Boston Docks from January to August. The home memb rs of the Bos ton Di\i -io n have performed their duti~ in this connection to the entire satisfaction of the Embarkation Commandant (Lleul.Col. Evans Lomlee), du e in no small measure to the organi ing ability of Acting Divisional up rintendent George A. Enderby. I wish to express my appreciation of the work carricd out by the personnel of my District in every rank. I have the honour to be, ir, Your obedient servant, ,DNEY \V. l\1ALI<!., Lieut., Commis. ioner. Knight of ~race of the Order of Sl. John. The Chief Commissioner.

I have the honour to.s u bmit ~ly reportfol' the 15 months C'nding December 31,1918. The total membershIp at thIS date was 11,117, consisting of 7,213 membe rs or Ambulance and 3,924 members of Nursing Divisions. This represents a decrease of 524 members or 4'6 per cent on the previous year's total. This is the fil'st time a d ecrease has been recorded in t~is District. ~i!lCe formation. This may pa r tly bc accounted for through the cessatIon of hostrlltlcs when a considerable number of me~ b ers of th~ Brigade who had. j.o!ned primarily fOl' War \ \lork relinquished the~r membershIp . Also several DIVISIons have not sent in any returns for the pen~d u p t o December 31st, and have been crossed off the Brigade Roll. It IS t o be greatly regretted that in several instances Divisions have disappeared

DISTRICT.

while the IllOst enthusiastic members have been on !;C'rvice, those at homc not taking intcl'cst or trouble to keep the work of the Brigade togdher. Slew mbulancc and 3 u,'sing Divisions have been formed up to D cemncl' 31st, 191tl. Of these two ''''ere Transport Divisions, one at Sunderbnd ancl one at the H artlepools. 2 Divisions have been formed by the Society 0[' Chemi ts at Blyth and 1\10rpeth . The other Ambulance Division has been formed at Earle's hipyard in Hull, which again incI'cases the strength of this efficient Corps. 3 ursing Divisions have been formed at \\TilJington Quay on Tyneside, the Clo e \ Vorks at Gateshead (which belongs to ~lessrS. Sir "-. G. Armstrong, \\-hitworth and 0.), and the other Division dir('ctly associated with the North Eastern Railway, having been formed at Hull. I hope to see more Divisions raised by the Railway olllpany ill the future. 9 Ambulance Divi ions and 11 Nursing Divi ions have cea. ed to be effective, and have becn struck off the roll. ome of the e may possibly be re-organised but othcrs hav(' lap ed through the large number of people who were engaged in munition work on the :-':orth-East coa t having removed to other parts of England. It is possible that in 1919 a furtiler reduction in the membership of the Brigade will be recorded. Th(' total members of the Brigade Pe en-es who have been mobilised for service during the war in No. VI. District have been : 212 R.~.A . . B.R. 276 R.:\'".

To th Brigade was entrusted the l'ntire responsibility of providing the personnel for the medical arrangements for coast defences. From the beginning of the war the members of the Brigade had their allotted \\Tar Stations under BI'igade officers. Practices were held [rom time to time and the arrangements ',:\'ere inspected by military officers. The General fficer o!11manding the Tyne Garri on pal·tlcularly thanked the Brigade for their service in this connection. The Brigade had supplied the entire tran port, consisting of motor and horse amburances, and a large numb'r of private motol'ists lent their cars for thi cheme of coast defence. lIo pitcd train rest tations, casually clearing stations were all arranged by the members of the Brigade. The Admiralty sanctioned on 19th pri!. 191 , the formation of a I-lome Servic Naval Auxiliary M dical nit for' the purpose of transporting the wounded landing from any action in the North ea. It had been anticipated that the members of the Brigade engaged on coast defences under the military scheme might not be available lor the purpose of the Navy, on a general mobili ation for Home Defence. The Royal aval Medical Transport Corps was consequently formed under the command of myself. ompanies of the Corps were authori ed at Newcastle, North Shields, outh hields, Sunderland, The Hartlepools, E ton, Scarborough and Hull, and in all cases were completed with the exception of Hull, as there ",ereno spare a\ailable men from t.he V.A.D. in this town. The men were enrolled into the Corp for the period of the war and were given naval ratings with a grant from the Admiralty fOl' uniform . Thi is the only Auxilial'y orps for Medical Sel'vices of the I a\'y that has b en formed. Voluntee r Field Ambulances have been successfully I'aised in this DistricL. Tn Northumberland the whole of the County Medical Corp, con i ting of fOUl' Field Ambulances was entirely raised by the Brigade, and under the command of the Commissioner. The necessary transport sections were provided by the Brigade and en r olled into the R.A.S.C.(V.), 1\I.T. In Durham two Volunteer Field mbulances we r e raised and in Yorkshire also thel'e were two unit.

Much or the work of the Brigade in the District has been taken up during the war in addition to the recruiting of the Brigade Reserves by Air Raid Service. Elaborate arrangements were made at Hull where unfortunately many Raids with heavy casualties took place. Other places where the Brigade rendered notable service in air raids were at \\-hitiey Bay, Sunderland, Jarrow, The Hartlepools and Scarborough. The ]atTOW Division has shown great energy since it formation in 1916. A suitable Drill IIall ha been acquired entirely by the Division and a molor Ambulance crvice provided. The workmen in the town are assisting by contribulions lo the upkeep of the Division. I have to expresc; my appreciation of the willing help afforded by the District taff Officer and Acting District taff Officers through a particularly strenu ous and Llifficult time.

REPORT OF THE COl\IML • lO:,,\ER. BRJ.\RFIELD, CA. rERBt; RY,

SIR, 1st January, 1919, I beg to submit my repnrt ror the year ending December 31<,t, 191. During the year one Nursing Division has been dIsbanded, and against thi , one -:\ur ingDivision and one Ambulance Division are in pl'Ocess of formation at \VinchelseH and Rye. Now that the \ Var is over and peace is in sight. it i likely that the continued slrai n of the last four and a half years will J'esult in the 10 S o[ many members and probably of some Divisions, whilst others will probably combine and continue in usefulness with renewed strength. The personnel in the District has kept up in a wonderful manner, the grand total being 2853, a gain of three on last year; and whilst we have an increase of nine members on the .. ur ing side we ha\~e lost thirteen on lhe men's side. This tOlal i under estimated due to the fact that five Ambulance Divisions have failed to forward their Annual Returns, th se incl ude lWo of the larger and more important Divisions, which i a regretable occurren e both for the BJ'igade and especially [or the memb rs of lhose Division whose O fficers have so far failed in their duty. The Roll of Honour contains a heavy list, amongst lhose reported Lo District Headquarters occur the follo\.ving :-Sergl. H. 1\I. Caddy, R. F. A. ; L. T . Dawbron (missing); 2nd Lie ut. N. 'W allis, R. F.A. ; Pte. V. H. Groven, M. II. II. R. o[ the Brighton Ambulance Div.; Corps Officer laior E. C. Maguire, r. n., of the Brighton and Hove Corps; Nursing Sister M E.

Tunbridge Wells Division; and Superintendent H. Moore of the Haslemere Division. To the relatives of all these ga llant men and women we offe r our s ince r e sympathy, and desire to permanently record the loss the Brigade has suffered. Amongst the Promotions and Distinctions gained may be noticed Ple. H. W . P o rts, B r ighton Division to be 2nd Lieut. Labour Corps; Pte. E . II.

COM~IIS lONER.

T. EDlI1l D'S, FLLIXSTO\\'E, SIR, 31st December, 1918. I have the honoul- to submit the following as my report fOI- the year cnding 31st December, 1918. I have had considerable difficulty in obtaining the report and returns f.-om the various Di\"isions in the District owing to the ~b 'e nce on acti, e service of many of the ~f!icel-s and Secretaries, but now that the bulk of the reports ha\'l' COIlll' in" the statistics show that the trength of the Brigade ha been \\ell maintained and a large amount of useful work carried out. There ha been a ubstantial increase in some of the Di\ I,>ions, notably thl' Ipswich On\"ell :\'ol-k which doubled it numbers dUJ-ing the year, but In nea~ly all the town. and \'dlages of East Anglia the manhood of the count rv has bl'l'n called up fOI- sen'ice in the ~avy and Army. The same may be said of the wom n, 1'01Officers and members of the ~ursing Division and \'oluntan' .Aid Detachments have bee n serving as Iatrons, ~ urses, \ ' , A. Ds. and Drivers -in all parts of the world, and have so far distinguished themselves as to be mentioned in despatche.<; and awarded variou honours. ~o inspections were held, but a sati factol,), number of re-cxaminations were carried ~ut, ~nd this was only done with difficulty as both doctors, ambulance men and nurSlOg sisters were 0 occupied at; to have litlle time [or routine work. In ~orfolk, Suffolk, and Essex, the three Counties in No. X. Di triel, situal d on the East coast, excellent work has been done during air raids and bombardments fro~l the sea, ?~ members of the Brigade. During the course of the war, the Fehxstowe DIVISion was c.aUe? out for "ail- raid action" on fifty-nine occasions, many . o~ the m~I~?el-S puttlOg 10 a total of one hundred and seventy hours of duty. Four IOJu,red clv.dlan~ we~e ~reated, and assistance was given to the Military and aval AIl- Services In plCklOg up and removing their dead. The Lowestofl and Brooke Divisions did similar work at Lowe toft more especially when the town was bombarded by the enemy battle cruisers. In addition to air raid work the ~embers of the Cromer D.ivision have met convoys at all hours o[ the day and night, and conveyed 960 SIck and wounded soldiers to the local ho pitals. They have . also supplied ~light orderlies regularly to the Colne II ouse Red C r oss IIosp ~ tal, theIr services having been much apprec iated by the Medical an d Hospital Staffs. A ~ecord amount of transp?rt ,~ork has ?een carried out dming the year by the I pswI~h Corps, under the directIOn of MISS Coulcher, O.B. E., the L ady D ist r ict S u penntenden~. The number of r emovals by m otor and horse ambulances amounted to 4.)9 cases \v~lich is a gre~t increase on last year. \Vith the exceptio n of street and factOl-y aCCidents the majority wer from distant parts of the cou n t rv to the Hospital and Nursing Homes. ",

DI S TRI CT.

10 addition to being on duty during air raid warnings the I pswic~l Corp s di d real har d work in meeting convoys or sick and wounded and conveYlOg them to the East Suffolk and St: John Broad water Hospitals. From 4th August, j 914, to 15th February, 1919, no less than 7,777 wounded and sick men [~om all branches of H is Majesty', Services were admitted to the East .uffolk Hospital ~nd trea~ed as in-p;tt ient . Seventy-four direct convoys were consigned to th,e IpSWIch StatIOn by ambulance trains from Southampton and Dover . A large maJonty of these cases werc seriously injured and were admitted as stretcher cases. In adJition to last veal" list the following members have received the un dermentiolled recognitioll "of services: Lady District Superintendent Coulcher, Miss, No. X . District-O. B.E.

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER. 4. FITZWILLIAM PL CE, DUBLIN. fR, 31st December, 1918. I hav the honour and pleasure to submit the follo\ving as my Annual Report for the year ending 31st December, 1918. in the preceding four years the work of the Brigade in this District has been almost entirely of a Red Cross character, and I am glad to be able to say that in spite of many special difficulties connected with the state of the country and the unforseen demands upon our members, there has been no slacking of effort or falling off in the standard of work, which has been of a character to reflect the utmost credit to the Order under which we have the privilege of serving. The total number of Divisions now is 29 Ambulance, and 52 Nursing with a total strength of 57 Ambulance Officers, 392 . C. Os. and Men, 155 Nursing Officers, 1,442 ursing ister. Grand total, 2,056. During the year the following new divi ions have been formed and sanctioned :Ambulance Division :-l\Iessrs. l\Iorgan Mooney. Nursing Division:Portarlington. In July 1918 in consequence of a new District ( TO 13) being- formed in Ulster, the follo wing Divisions passed from under my charge :-Ambulance Division : Belfast Fire Brigade, Belfast R. 1. C., Belfast City. Nursing Divisions:Ballycastle, Londonderry, Monaghan. 840 Sl. John Members have served and are serving in Military and Auxiliary H ospitals at home and abroad, others in War Hospital Supply Depots, Clothing and Wor k Depots, Buffets, Canteens, Soldiers Clubs, etc. O wing to the submarine warfare fewer II ospital Ships arrived at the Port of D ublin, but a total number of 2278 patients were handled from four ships, and these were sent to Hospitals in Dublin, and to Cork, Belfast and the Curragh by Hospital Tra ins. As for several years past, the handling of these men has been entit"ely carried out by Brigade Orderlies assisted by a c o uple of B. R. C . S. Detachments a nd a h igh decree of care was exerc ised,

THE ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

A number of Nursing Officers and Sister took part in the wod{, assisting in the temporary buffet at the Quayside, where the wounded men were given lea, coffee, etc., on landing. Exceptionally good service was rendered by our men and women on the occasion of the torpedoing of the R. 1. . "Leinstel-" between Holyhead and Dublin all the 10th of October last when ovel- 500 were drowned out of a total of 900 on board. The news of the disaster reached Dublin some short time after the occurrence, and before the fir 1 destroyer conveying survivors had reached Kingstown, some 60 of our men and women were in attendance at the Naval Base there and full preparations had been made to treat and remove the injul-ed, supplies of dl-Y clothing, blankets, medical requisites, restoratives, were in readiness, and for ome five hours the rescued men, women, and children were being trf'ated and l·ell1oved. Many had been in the water for some considel-able time, othel-s \\ere suffering [rom wounds, fractures and scalds, and almost all had to be treated for shock. FOIseveral days and nights following, parties of our men assisted th 'm al Authorities in the removal of the dead. During the year two severe outbreaks of influenza swept over Ireland, one in the late summer and the second in the cady winter, and our member here have given splendid service in civil hospitals and nursing the sick in their homcs. Practically all the members of the Brigade in the District hel\C work ed untiring-Iy for the success of the" Our Day" Fund this year and a great portion of its ~ucce s is attributable to their efforts. In addition to the general -w ork for th e fund, a special ,. Brigadl~ Our Day" effort was organised, which realised the sum of £2,869 3s. 2d. The total sum collected was £65,086 19s. 31cJ. A general Joint Inspection of the Sl. John Ambulance and 1"ur ing- Divisions and B. R.C.S. Male and Female Detachments was held on aturday, June 15th, in Lon.! Iveagh's Gardens, when the Earl of Donoughmol-e, K. P., and the lIon. ir .\l,thur Stanley, Chairman of the Central Joint \\'a r Committee, inspected it parade or over 400 men and 900 nurse. At the, ame time the compctition' for thc Dublin Ambulance Challenge Cup and the Iri 'h "'omen '" hallenge Cup were he ld, the winning teams being the ityof Dublin Ambulance Divi s ion and I larcourt :'\ursingDivision respectively. The Irish V.A. D. Challenge Cup open to t 'ams of nUl'ses from the B. R. '" and the St. J.A.B. in Ireland was won by the llarcourt Division 01 the Brigad . I append lists of Honours which have been con(elTed on ;\lembcrs of this District during the 'VVar. In conclusion I must express my indebledl1e~s and appreciation of the magnificent and devoted services and loyalty of my District taff, all of whom have gi,-en me the greatest possible assistance, indeed the general efficiency ha. been entirely due to their zeal and whole· hearted work, and to the assi tance the\' bave received from splendid and devoted Corps Officers aided by a loyal band of Divi ional Officers. At no time has the morale or general efficiency of my District becn high '1', and in every sense worthy of the noble lI-adition of our ancient Order-all giance to which is ever our first thought. I have the honour to be, ir, Your obedient servant,

APPENDIX

(A) Copy of letter from the Admiralty : The Medical Department, Admiralty, 12, Charles Street, Berkeley Square, W.1. IR, March 14th, 1919. I have the honour to thank you, the Officers concerned and the members of the Brigade for the way in which they have worked to make the 'R. N. A. . B. R. such a success during the war. The work of preparation [or Active Service during peace time needed much elfdenial, and the result attained by the Sick Berth Reserve Staff reflects the greate t credit on all concerned in that preparation. I sincerely trust that there will be the same loyal co-operation in the future as in the past, so that, in case of any further National emergency, we may be ready to mobilize an even greater number of Re erve ratings than at the outbreak o[ hostilities in 1914. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, (Sgd.) W. H. NORMAN, Medical Director-General. The Chief ommissioner, t. John Ambulance Brigade.

(B) Copy of letter from the \ ar Office : War Office, London. IR, 25th March, 1919. I am commanded by the Army Council to acquaint you that they desire to place on record their appreciation of the very valuable services which have been rendered by the t. John mbulance Brigade and the t. John .\mb ulance Association throughout the war. Owing to the formation of the Home Hospital Reserve previous to the war, and by reason of it rapid mobilization in August, 1914, large numbers of the per onnel of the Royal Army Medical Corps were set rree and were thus enabled to proceed without delay with the original Expeditionary Force to France. Through their patriotic action in undergoing training in time of ppace, the members of your Association were able to at once take up their duties in the hospitals of the United Kingdom, and it has been in great measure due to the efficiency with which they have performed these duties, which has been both arduous and continuous, that these I nstitutions have been succes fully carried on. I am to ask that you will he so good a to convey the thanks of the Council to the members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade and As ociation for the very valuable services they have rendered. I am, Sir, Your obedient Servant, (Sgd.) B. B. CUB ITT. The Chief Commissioner, St. John Ambulance A sociation.
