HA~:~~CK

The Anniversary ervice was held in the Grand Priory Church on 24-th June (St. John Baptist's Day). The SERVICE . sermon was preached by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Drury, Master of St. Catharine'~ College, Cambridge, Sub-Prelate of the Order. The General Assembly was afterwards held in the Chapter Hall at St. John s Gate, the hancellor, Sir John Pre ' cott Hewett, pre iding. The Rt. Hon. E, elyn Cecil, M. P. 'ecretary-General, in addre sing the meeting referred to the function of the St. John mbulance Association and the St . John .\mbulance Brigade and said he thought these two branches of the Ambulance Department hould be broughtclosertogether. He called attention to the important \york being done by the Invalid Transport Corps in transporting limble s men. In touching briefly on the work of the Joint Council of the Order and the British Red Cro ' s Society he pointed out that a large amount of ,-aluable work could be done if the public responded to appeals made for funds, but if the public did not respond the Order could then confine itself to the useful work it was doing before the war. Colonel Sir Courtauld Thomson, hairman of the British Ophthalmic Ho pital, read the following cablegram from Sir William Horwood, sent on behalf of the Newfoundland Cen tre of the Ambulance Association : "Ranfurly Fi rst Aid London. Centre reque t you pay £1,000 to endow cot hospital J eru alem commemorate recapture and memory Newfoundland sailors an d oldiers. - "HORWOOD." He referred to the message as a ve ry acceptable St. J ohn's Day gift to the funds of the Hospita l, for which they were deeply grateful. H e added that since the re-opening of the Hospital they had admitted 849 in-patients to their +2 beds, and treated 15 ,6 11 out-patient ; 1,569 operations had been performed. M r. Vivian Gabriel, a Knight of Grace, gaye an account of the acquisition and restoration of the Auberge d' Angleterre in Rhodes which he had visited several times during the war.

The distribution of \V ar Service Badges has been com pleted \\-ith the exception of those for overseas, the number i sued amounting to 11,000. The Invalid Transport Corps continues to carry out its work efficiently. The Association issues a separate report, which may be obtained on application at t. John' Gate. On lbe occa 'ion of the calamity at Louth at the end of .

The great work of relief carried out by tbe Lincoln ~entre of lhe t. John Ambulance . -s ociation is also worthy of record . The di aster occurred on a Saturday afternoon but owing to the destruction of telegrapb and telephone \\-ires, the interruption of communication by rail and the blocking of many of the roads, little news, if any, reach d the outside worlu until the following Monday morning, so that the plight of the occupants of some 200 houses that were destroyed \\-as terrible. Mainly througb the instrumentality of Mr. G. C. Hodgson, the Organi ing Secretary of the Lincoln Centre, greatly assisted by tbe Re,-. E. C. Bolam (who placed the office of the Blind Association at his disposal), and other upporters of the Centre, two carloads of the articles mo -t urgently required were despatched to Louth early on Tuesday morning, arriving there three hour ahead of any other supplies. The Centre confined itself to relief work purely in the nature of first aid, such as the distribution of clotbing, boot, cleaning material, brooms, pails, pots, pans, disinfectants, bed, body and household linen, and similar articles, and received every as istance from residents in Lincoln and the county, especially Mr. Alfred Shuttleworth, Lord and Lady Yarborough, and Major Hoult. When a canvas camp had been established at Louth the Lincoln Centre helped to equip a camp kitchen, and later, when the victims of the disaster were tran ferred from the camp to hutment, the Centre equipped one of the huts as a common ironing

The following is extracted from the Report of the Chief Commi sioner :_" 42 (31 Ambulance an d 11 Nursing) AMBULANCE Divisions have been formed and registered, making a BRICADE. total of 1,491 (929 .\ mbulance and 562 Nurs ing) Di\'i ions. During' the period of the war the strength of the Brigade increa ed from 951 Divisions with a personnel of 25,560, to 1,545 Di\ isions with il total personnel of over 60,000. This increase sho\\'s the large number of men and women who joined for war service. The present strength of the Brigade at Hom e is 41,337 (27,647 men and 13,690 women). This compared with it , str ngtb on the outbreak of the war sho\\'s a net increase of 15,777. The following Officers of the Brigade ha n~ been promoted to the rank of Assistant Commissioner by H. R.

I n the ca 'e of those Divisions which are in pos ession, or hav the u 1::, of l\Iotor Ambulances excellent work is being performed by the conveyance of local sick and injured. Members of Nursing Divisions are rendering practical assistance to civil hosp itals and other formations, and in various spheres of local activity in which their knowledge and training are of especial value. The revised conditions of service of the Royal Nand Auxiliary iek Berth Reserve have now been issued and a number of Re ervist \\·ho enrolled prior to and served during the war have already notified their desire to remain in the Reserve, the establishment of which is fixed at 1,275 . Annual trainings comprising a Man of War or Naval Ho pital Course of a week's duration will be resumed from 1st April next, and Inspections by the Inspecting Medical Officer, Surgeon Commander H. B. Hill, are now being arranged. During the year I have inspected Corps and Divisions in Nos. V., VI., X. and XII. Districts. In all I find still some war weariness existing, exemplified by holding back of members from rejoining their units with the consequence that many Divi ions are not up to strength, and by the absence from drills and inspections of members of existing Divisions. Still there are signs of improvement in this respect and new Division s are being formed.

One of the most satisfactory matters that came to my notice is the harmonious working of members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade and the British Red Cross Society where both bodies are present in the same district and I think I may say that in all districts where they are together, witl1 the exception perhaps of one, this harmony exi.sts. There is still need for a closer co-operation between the Bngade and the Association of the Order in mutual sup port the one of the other. T think they want to realize a little more fully that they are both parts of the same great Order working for the same cause, Thi s matter is receiving the serious attention of both bodies, an d I am hopeful of a satisfactory so lution of it. The new South-Eastern an d hatham Railway District, a Di strict restricted in its personnel to the employees of that lin e, has now been working for a year or more satisfactorily.

His Majesty the King ha been graciously pleased to present a signed portrait of himself to the Hospital. He HOSPITAL. h~s al~o presented portraits of Their late Majesties Queen VlctOrIa and King Edward VII. to take the place of those destroyed by the Turks. During the year the Hospital Staff was completed by the appointment of Captain R. Eyre as Assistant Surgeon. The number of bed remains at 42 as compared with the pre-war 52, but in spite of this more operative work i being done and almost as many patients ha~e been admitted to Hospital in the ophthalmic year (March to November

BR ITISH

OPHTHALMIC

inclusive) as in any o[ the ophthalmic years 1907 to 1913. The record for the year under review bas been in every way satisfactory and the Hospital work has been carried on at the usual high level of ~fficienc~. cbeme of suggested extension is now before the CommIttee which includes the re-building of a waiting room for women and children, latrine accommodation for the Out-Patient Department and a ward for infective eye cases. The Hospital buildings and grounds suffered damage owing to the extraordinary weather of February. After tbree days of continuous rain, snow began to fall and continued without intermi ion for sixty hours. It layover three feet thick on the ground and drifts up to ten feet deep were not uncommon. For some days during the storm no human be ing tra\'ersed the road past the Hospital. Prison labour was utilised in restoring the grounds so there ha been no extra co t to be borne by the Order. Prices st ill remain high- bread for instance, which cost piastres 9 in July, 1919, was costing piastres 15 in March, 1920, and ~ea.t pia~tres 60 compared with piastres 25 in the previous year. Tbe rise 111 pnces has been f llowed by a rise in wage. . The Hospital is still benefiting by being allowed to buy pro\'i s ion'-, through the Administration as and wben opportunity offer. A claim for dalJlage to the Ho spit:11 by the British troops who were quartered in it after the retreat of the Turks has been duly sub mitted to the laims Offi ce in Cairo. The Hospital was \' i ited in the course of the year by Major-General . i I' Thomas Yarr, K. .:-.r. G., C. B., [nspector of Medical Sen' ice , a Knight of Grace of the Order. .-\s an old eye specialist, he writes under date Augu t 30th, 1920 : I was very much impressed with the cleanlines and good order and efficiency of our Hospital, but to maintain its e fTici ency funds must be largely increased. If the Hospital is to be in the future what it was in the past, the best staffed and the best equipped Eye HO"ipital in the East, this que tion of cost must be resolu tely f:1ced. I wa_ particularly s truck by the splendid work done in the Oul-Patienh ' D epartment." The ol11mittee regrets to record the 10 s, through death, of the ViceChairman, the Lord Downham of Fulham. I

During the year 3761 students attended courses of instruction in flrst aid, home nursing- and home hygiene. The '1. John .\mbulance Brigade in \!\Tales now consists of 132 Ambulance Divisions and 50 Nursing Divi ion, . The present strength is approximately 5133, an increase on last year. The establishment of Medical omforts Depots has been carefully watched by medical men, trained nurses and others interested, and large quantities of medical equipn1ents have been eagerly requisitioned, DepOts are heing e. tablisbed in the mining districts. Last year the ten motor ambulance cars tationed in the coalfield carried 2666 ca es and tra\' elled over 45,000 miles. New stations are being e. tablished, and numb e rs of Colliery Companies and vVorkmen's Lodges have become subscriber. The T enby Hospital of 60 beds [or ex-service me n has been fully occupied during the year, and th e 1ini <:;try of P ension s are very satisfied with the work done.

THE ummitlee of the Ho -pital submits the Twenty-Ninth Report [or thc infonnation of IIis Royal IIighn ess the Grand Prior and the ChapterGcneral of the Ord r o[ Sl. John of Jerusalem in England and the subscribers. His 1ajcsty the King has been graciously plcased to present a signed portrait of him . elf to the Hospital. IIe has also presented portraits of Their latc lajc~ties Queen Victoria and King Edward VI r. to take the place f those de -troyed by the Turk. Lord \ Villiam Cecil has pre. entcd a portrait of Lord .\mherst of Hackney, and a portrait of Sir Edmund Lechmcre has also been procured for the Ho pital, replacing picture!'> that ha\'e been lost or destroyed . Thc olllmittcc has under consideration the erection of a Memorial Tablet commemorating the re-opening of the Ho -pital and recording the namcs of early benefactors. This tablet, of local stone, \\·ill bc set up in a conspicuous position in th Hospital. During the year the Hospital Staff was completed by the appointment of aptain R. Eyre as ssi tant Surgeon. This officer has had considerable experience of refraction work , and as this work i increasing greatly in the Hospital he will prove of valuahle assi tance. The number of bed remains at +2 a. compared with the pre-war 52, but in spite of this, morc operatiYe \\fork i being done and almost as many patients have been admitted to Hospital in the ophthalmic year ( l arch to November inclusive) as in any of the ophthalmic years 1907 to 1913. The record for t h e yea r under review has been in every way atisfactory and the Ho 'pital work has becn carried on at the us u al high leve l of efficiency. Th is i ' not to say that no further improvements are nece sary - muc h yet remains t o be done in making the Ho pital a more perfect instru ment for its devoted staff to usc in dealing with the ophthalmic scourge in Pa lestine and neighbouring countries.

HOSPiTAL, jERUSALE 1.

A proposal to admit paying in-patients to the Hospital has been negatived by the hapter-General. A scheme of suggested extension is now before the Committee \\'hich includes the re-building of a waiting rOOI11 ior women and childn.:n, latrine accommodation for the Ou t-Patient Department and a ward for infective eye cases. The first t\VO items brook no delay - the third is a proposition which is not new; it ha. often in time past been discussed, but hitherto no action has been taken. To carry out all three of th se improvements the sum of £1,500 i needed. The Hospital buildings and grounds sufTered damage owing to the extraordinary weather of February. After three days o[ continuous rain, snow began to fall and continued without intermi sion for sixty hours. It layover three feet thick on the ground and dri(ts up to ten feet deep we~e not uncommon. " 11 shops were closed from Tu sday till Friday and the streets de erted." " ,\11 wires of cour c came down and many house also, killing a number of people. Almost every tree has suffered more or Ie s severely." In the IIo pital grounds ,. some ten or tweh'e trees were brought do\\'n and some of the remaimlel' ha e so few branche left that their recovery is que tionable." The glass roof of the surgeon's flat fell in the second night. ., GIClss is now so expensive that the repair has been deferred. Most of the roof~ leaked and some plaster came down, In the grounds many of the terrace walls came down. We had worked hard all January pUlting these things in order and now they are worse than ver. Further about twenty yards of the embankment of the main J crnsal m-B thleh m road came do\\'n, carrying the parapet and a strip of the road with it."* For some days during the storm, no human being tra\'ersed the road past the Ilospital. Prison labour was utilised in restoring the ground so ther' ha!::> been no extra cost to be borne by the Order. Prices still remain high - bread for in -tance, which cost piastres <) in July, 1919, was costing piastres 15 in March, 1920, and meat pia tres 60 compared with piastres 25 in the pre\'ious year. The rise in prices has been followed by a rise in wages. Road labourers are being paid 7 s. a day, field workers lOs., and o-called killed artisans demand _Os. to 25s. a day. Colonel 'trathearn mentions that he is entrusted by the patients with their money while in Hospital and the sum \'arie between £50 and £100, and adds : ,. last week an ordinary fellah ",ben admitted to Hospital handed over to my charge £57." The Hospital is still benefiting by being allowed to buy pro\' i~ions through tbe Administration as and when opportunity offers. Th latest information is that prices are falling and a number of firms ha\' gone into liquidation. The cost of freight is a seriou item at present. On an operating table which cost £ 11 7s. 6d . , freight and insurance came to £4 12s. between London and Jaffa only and by the time it reacbed the Hospital it had cost another £ 1. A claim for damage to the Hospital by the British troops wllo were quartered in it after the retreat of the Turks has been duly submitted to the Claims Office in Cairo. The Committee bas recommended the Dispenser, Mr. Yakub Cubeisy, and the Housekeeper, Miss Wassileb Nasir, to tbe Order [or some mark of appreciatio'n of tbeir long and faithful services extending in each case to * The above extracls are from Lt.-Col.

a quarter of a century. 1\" Vellum Vote of Thank,," to each has been granted by the Chapter and it i~ hoped that the presentation may be made in due course by Colonel Storrs. the Governor of Jerusalem and Chairman or the Local Committee. The C0ll1111illee has to express its grateful thanks for help received during- the past year to H. H. The Maharajah Scindia of Gwalior, to Mr. W. E. Jardine, C.LE., to Lady Watson for her continued and devoted help \\'eek by week in the linen-room of the Hospital, to Miss G. M. Birkell for a gift of eye-pads, shields and bandages, to Miss Hollins and her parly of \vorkers in Malvern for making hospilal garments, to the Stores Deparlment at Sl. John's Gate for two consignments of sheets, pillow-slips, etc" to Sir Robert Harvey, the Countess of Stradbroke, the Balh Centre of S.]. A.A., and to Mr. J. Horne Stevenson, the Assi -tant lIon. 'ec . for Scotland. The IIospital was vi~ited in the course of the year by SurgeonGencral i I' lIavelock Charles, G. c. V. 0., and also by Major-General Sir Thomas Yarr, K. c.;\1. G., C. B., Inspector of Medical Sen'ices, both Knighb of Grace of lhe Order. The latter, an old eye specialist, writes uncleI' date ,\ugu:.l 30th, 1920 : - " I was very much impressed with the c1eanline~s and good order and efficiency of our Hospital, but to mainlain its fficiency funds must be largely increased. I agree entirely with the \\ortl~ of the Reporl on this subject and feel I cannot do better lhan quole lhem 'If the Hospital is to be in the future what it wa in lhe pa. t. the be~t ~lafred and the best equipped Eye Hospital in the East, this quc..,tion of cost must be resolutely faced.' I was particularly ~lruck by lhc ' plendid \\'ork done in the OUl-Patients' Department." The Committee ha~ also had the plea ure of hearing encouraging verbal r ports from Lieut. - olonel V. Gabriel, c. s. 1., etc., and Colonel R. St rr5, C.:\1. G., ctc., tbe Governor of Jerusalem. The Committee regrets to re ord the 10 s, through death, of the ViceChairman, the Lonl Do\\'nham of Fulham. The slarT of the IIospital continues to work in friendly co-operation with the ,\dminislration of Palesline. In conrlu . . ion, the Committee offers to Lieut.-Colonel J. c. trathearn and his stair ils thanks for lhe devoled way in which they ha\'e carried out their !::>tl-euuou . and ever increa ing dulies, and begs him ami them to realise that lhe Committee appreciates all that they are doing to mair.tain the high traditions of the Hospital of the Order of St. John. ~Iarch,

l\ledical Report of the Briti h Ophthahl1ic Hospital for the year 1920. The number of New Patient seen during 1920 was 8844 and the tolal numb r of Consultations 30,619. The number of In-Patient· \vas 1248, and the number of Operation performed 2538. . Compari -on with the previous year (1919) ' hews that nearly twice as many new cases were seen and almost three times the number of consultations.

THE OPERATING THEATRE.

But it is of greater interest to compar the figures of 1920 with the averages of the ' even pre-war year ' (t 907 -1913). With regard to new cases 1920 was about one thousand less (88++ as against 9 49) and the total consultation nearly seven thousand les (30,619 as against 37, S09). On the other hand the number of In-Patients was greater (1248 as against 1079), and the number of operations performed was also greater (2538 as against 1926). Hence it will be seen that the work of the Hospital is rapidly approaching and in some items actually surpassing the pre-war averages . And in this connection it must be remembered that Jerusalem has now two large Jewish Eye Hospitals in operation, and the Government had a Travelling Ophthalmic Hospital on tour during the past year. Amongst the Returns rendered to the Public Health Department of the Admini ·tration is one howing the numbers of patients attending hospitals and dispensarie~, classified by religion . It is of intere~t to note that of the 884+ new case seen in this IIo pital, +76+ were 10s1ems, 282+ were Christians, and 1256 were Jews. Of the 30,619 total con~ulta tions, 21,23+ were Moslems, 5308 were Jews and 4077 were Christi,tns. The majority of the Out-Patients suffered [rom one or both of the two chief scourges of Palestine. The fir t is Trachoma, and thc second is Acute Conjunctiviti ' (or Ophthalmia). With regar I to Trachoma the incidence of this chronic disea~e remains high. Of the new cases 8210 (or 92'S per cent), wcre suffcring ~rom this disease in ome stage or form. "\Ithough a comparativcly Il1frequent cause of actual blindness, trachoma i rc ponsible for a great degree of misery and disability. Further, from its sequclae of cntropion and trichiasis it accounts for the majority of the in-paticnts and operations. The epidemic o[ acute conjunctivitis was moderately se\·cre. The pa[ients suffering [rom this aiTection numbered 153+, being 17·3 per cent of the new cases seen. In 1919 the incidence wa ' 15'+ pCI' cent. Ulceration of the cornea was a complication in +50 case~ (or 29'3 per cent compared with 26'3 per cent in 1919.) This complication was limited almost entirely to new patients, the occurrence o[ ulccl'atiol1 in patients under treatment being rare . The provi~ion of a shel ter ror the accommodation of these cases during the day time has been under consideration in past years. The need is still great, as it wonkl enabl th patients to receive repeated attention, say between the hours or 7 a. m. and + p. m. In the evening the patients would go to their homes or temporary lodgings and return the following morning to continue treatment. Home treatment as applied by the patient or his friends i~ of very restricted value. With regard to actual blindnes , 1388 of the new cases were found to be blind in one or both eyes. Those completely blind in both eyes numbe.red 489. The incidence of blindness in one eye was 10'1 per cent and bllOdness in both eyes 5·5 per cent of the cases seen. The incidence for the 'year 1919.was 1S per cent and 8 per cent respectively, but as was p~1l1ted out 111 the report [or that year these figures were abnor~nally high as on the re-opening of the hospital the majority of the b.l1l1d .would n.aturally seek advice . By far the greater proportion of thiS bl1l1dness IS due to acute contagious conjunctivitis and its complications, that is to an acute disease which if properly treated in it

carly stages rapidly recovers, and almost a lways without the occurrence of those complications which endanger sight. The number o[ patie'nts attending to be measured for spectacles, eithe r to improve vision or to relieve eye strain has greatly increased. The number of patients so relieved was 473. In the previous year the number was 269. This is a branch of the work that demands both time and care. From the foregoing abstract it will be seen that the work done at the British Ophthalmic Ho pital during 1920 was much greater than that of the previous year, and there is much justification for the belief that the year 1921 will see a further increase. nd no surprise need be exprcs 'ed at this [or there is an appalling amount of eye disease in Palestine. The agencies at work now throughout the land are quite inadequate for the task. The general awakening of the people is one of the results of the Great War, the spread of education and new ideas under the British Admini tration, the pre. sure of competition and the threat of more to come, has re\'ealed to the peasant the terrific handicap of ocular di"ability. Small wond e r then that in his need he instinctively tl1rn~ to an Institution which hc had learned to trust during a generation of disinteresled and ever increas ing usefulness. J. C.

THE DIRECTOR or the mbulance Department and the Ambulance Committee of the Order have the honour to submit the following report on th e work of the Sl. John Ambulance Association for the information o[ His Royal Highness the Grand Prior and the Chapt.er-General. I t is with great regret that the resignation of the Earl of Donoughmore Director of the Ambulance Department and Chairman of the Ambulance Committee is recorded. Lord Donoughmore was appointed Director and Chairman by H. R. H. The Grand Prior in April 1919. Hi ~ Royal Highnes~ was graciously pleased to appoint the Lord Monson to the vacant office from 6th ugust, 1920. During t.he year Major-General Dalton, lat.e Chief Commissioner of lhe Sl. JOhl1 mbulance Brigade Overseas, resigned his seat. on the ,\mbulance Committee, of which he had been a member [or a great !lumber of years.

.\t the present time' the only County Centre" in existence are Lincolnshire and N"orth-East Lanca -hire, and in each CENTRES. case the County formation has proved a success. It is. ho\ye\ er, the intention of the mbulance Committee to modify the original scheme so as to create a clo~er co-operation bet w ee n the two ambulance sen'ices of the Order of Sl. John, and to form County Committees ,,-i th representati\'es 110t only of the St. John ,\mbuJance Association and the St. John mbulance Brigade but aL 0 of the Order. It is anticipated that in this way great impelus will be given to the work of the Ambulance Department. Members of the Order are being appointed to repres ent it in each County, and it i - hoped that they will consent to occupy an official position on the County Committee. COUNTY

The St. John Ambulance Brigade

Report for the year ended '30th September, 1920.

Sanitation Cour e .\ gradual revival of interest in ambulance work has beell apparent, resulting in a gratifying increase in the number o[ cla" 'es held during the year. The returns of certificates issued through Centres (excluding Railway and O\'erseas Centres and those in Ireland) show (1) Liverpool, (2) Birmingham and (3) Sheffield a!::i having iSbu d the greatest number. Among detached clas es the more prominent are those in connection with the City of London Police, the Port of London Authority, at the works of Messrs. Brunner, Mond and Co., and those organised by the Education Committee at Bradford and Wallasey. Among the detached classes overseas the more interesting are those organised annually by the Great. outhem of Spail; Railway; the Directo r of Health in Palestine has also arranged classes for the police in Palestine and ha authori ed the succes ful candidate ~ to wear the badge of th e INSTRUCTION.

COMPETITIONS.

As so ciation on their uniform . In forwarding the repo rt of t h e first exam ination th e Director of Health states that the wearing of the badge on t h e p olice uniform will have'a very good effect in stimulating other p olice to take the examin ation, and adds that efforts are being made to m ake t he h olding of the St. John first aid certificate a condition for promotion in the police force . Th rough t h e medium of cen tres and detached classes the t. J obn Ambu lance Association has is ued during the year 6,215 medallions, 23, 444 labels and 2,14 1 pendants. The total nu mber of certificates issued to date is 1,452,427, and during t h e year as fo11o\vs ; -

The number of cities, towns or villages at wh ich m eetings were held during the year amounts to 80, the audience averaging about 750 per meeting. During the summer EXHIBITIONS . months exhibitions were given in the open and proved a great attraction, great stimulus being given to the work of the Association and of the Brigade at a time when it has a tendency to fall off. The new film entitled ( . Nature Study," to which reference was made in last year's report, was completed during the year and has been exhibited with much success, being especially appreciated by children. In some parts of the country Education Authorities have , hown their appreciation of the value of these exhibitions and of first aid by allowing the children to visit these exhibitions during school hours . Of equal interest and attraction is (' The Life Story of Florence Nightingale," a film more recently acquired by the Association.

On the occasion of the calamity at Louth at the end of May when the town was overwhelmed by a disastrous flood, a con ' ignment o[ comforts \Vas forwarded from Sl. John's Gate to Louth with the utmost speed on the day following the news of the disaster. They were among the first received from an outside source and proved of the greatest value, being distributed under the direction of the Lord Ion on. The great v,' ork of relief carried out by the Lincoln Centre of the t. J o11n mbulance S ociation is also worthy of record. The di ' aster occurred on a aturday afternoon but owing to the destruction of telegraph and telephone wires, the interruption of communication by rail and the blocking o[ many of th e roads, little news, i[ any, reached the outs.i de world until the follo"'ing Monday morning, s o that the plight of the occupants o[ some 200 houses that were destroyed wa~ terrible. Mainly through the intrumentality of 1r. G. C. Hodgson, the Organising ecretary of the Lincoln Centre, greatly assisted by the Rev. E. . Bolam (who placed the offices of the Blind Association at his disposal), and other upporter of the Centre two carloads of the articles most urgently required were despatched to Louth early on Tuesday morning, arriving there three hours ahead of any other supplies. The Centre confined itself to relief work purely in the nature of first aid, slIch as the distribution of clothing, boots cleaning material brooms pails, pots, pans, di infectants, bed, body' and household li'nen and similar articles, and received every assistance from re idents in Lincoln and the county, especially Mr. Alfred Shuttleworth, Lord and Lady Yarborough, and Major Hoult. When a canvas camp had been established at Louth the Lincoln Centre helped to equip a camp kitchen and later, when the victim of the disaster were tran ferred from the ~amp to hutment, the Cent re equipped one of the huts as a common ironing and drying room, which afforded immense comfort to the female members of the refugee community.

ACCRINCTON.

Members of the Centre rendered useful first aid on many occasions. A Flag Day was held on ugust 14th, a sum of £ 108 1 ~s. 7d. being raised and used for the purpose of repairing and replenishing the ,\'all boxes in the town, which have been neglected during the war. BACUP.

During the past year comparatively little has been done with regard to classes, but interest in 8.m bulance work is being revived. It is hoped to resu citate the competition for the Banbury hallenge Shield wbich ha been in abeyance owing to the war. A class in connection wi th the Borough Police has been formed to enable the new members to become proficient.

BANBURY.

The pa~ t year has been most successful. Chiefly owing to the effort. of Dr .. rnott in conjunction with the other members the Centre has been able to acqUlre commodious headquarters at 55, York treeL, where it now has a fully equipped ambulance station and an up-to-date ambulance car, which is within call of every member of the entre. The late Mr. Hewitt-Dean, of Colne, generously presented a centrally ituated plot of land on which it is hoped to build an ambulance memorial drill hall. This land is held in trust for the Centre by the local ounci!. .\ successful gala and sports meeting was held, with ambulance competitions for men, women and boy scouts. The manufacturer of Barnoldswick presented for annual competition a handsome silver challenrre shield, which was won by the Brierfield Division in the ambulance squad competition. A silver challenge cup for an annual ambulance competition in connection with the boy scouts ,:I,Tas pre ented by Mr. . Nelon, a "ice-president. The Centre supplies each manufactur r with a fully equipped ambulance box, and to each mill a tretcher in addition, with a chart showing the names and addresses of the members of the Centre, who can thus be summoned at short notice in case of accident.

The numbers of classes and examinations held in the Centre' have largely increased. 1\ large number of County a nd Borough Police haye been instructed during the year and arrangem ents for the instruction of the employees at the Midland Railway Station are being made. It is again gratifying to hear that old member. of the Centre are finding their training most useful in instructing girl gu ides, scouts, etc. The honorary superintendent of the sick diet and help for invalids branch finds the ne\v method of subscription in money for the purchase of meat extracts, milk, eggs, etc. , with occasional calls on members for light diet [or special cases, has been so successfu l that it will be continued. The high price of milk and eggs makes these gifts of increased yalue to the patient and a great help to t he Queen's District Nurses, who much appreciate being able to obtain the necessary nourishment for their patients . The Infant \V clfare Nurse is also able in this way to supply extra nouri hment to the mothers where neces. ary . The motor ambulance has again been at the service o[ the town and the county . 82 cases have been 111()\'ed in it, and 19 on the Ashford litter, making a total of 101 cases- a large increase on the preyious year's work . The honorary superintendent ha been much encouraged by being able to replenish the stock o[ in\'alic.l appliances [or loan to the s ick, and has devoted a room for their storage in h r o\\' n hou<.,c, wbere application for the e articles can be made.

Ten class~s were held under the auspices of the entre last year, and although thts is a smaller number than was the ca 'e in previous years, a larger number of mcn sat for examination .

The number of examination awards gained by members of the G. W. R. Centre during the year ended NO\'ember RAILWAY. 30th, 1920, is con iderably in excess of last year's t o tal, shewing an increase of over fifty per cenL This is due to a large extent to the return of men from the colours, and also to the impetu given to ambulance work by the revival of the Company" competitions in the spring o[ the year. It is gratifying to note that the number of men gaining first year award s shews a large ,increase. N? fewer than fiftye ig h t team (thirty-five advanced and thtrty-three beg-Inn r's) took part

The mo. t important evenL of the past year have been the campHign, in conjunction with the Auckland Corps of the t. John Am bulance Brigade, for funds for the nursing and ambulance services, and the tarting of the district nursing service with three trained and fully certificated nurses, to work among the ick poor. The campaign was very succe sfully carried out by 1r. C. F . Bickford, the honorary organiser, assisted by ladies and gentlemen, members and friends of the Association and Brigade, The amount realised, after paying all expenses, was £311 + 11 s. Sd., which mu ,t be considered as very satisfactory. The committee tenders its most incere thanks to all the ladies and gentlemen who so generously assisted by their per onal ervices and their conlribution. The district nur ing service began operations on January 5th. During the first two months of the service 1323 visits were paid to 155 patients with \"ery excellent results . The Association's nur es contributed very materially to the checking of the recurrence of the influenza epidemic, with which the city was threatened in January and February. It is anticipated that a motor ambulance service will be started in the near future. The district nursing service and the motor ambulance ervice are the joint work of the Centre of the Association and the orp.., of the Brigade, and will be managed by pecial committees appointed from both bodies. Eight courses of lectures were given and twenty-four examinations were conducted at the Ambulance Station. Lectures were given at the Girls' Grammar Schools at . uckland and Ep om, at the Diocesan High chool, t . Cuthbert' College, Mount Eden 1unicipal Chamber., Piarere, Hamilton, Huntly, Thames, Waihi, and \Vhangarei. It was with extreme regret that the committee heard of the death of Dr. Hugh Owen Jones, a member of the medical staff who did a large amount of good work for the Association as lecturer and examiner.

A grant of £50 was a lso received from the Christchurch City Council to prm'ide for the ambulance transport of necessitous cases within the city.

The executive council ;ecord their very sincere regret at the death of the Re\'. Alban O'Riley. The reverend gentleman was for years the chairman of the council in Cape Town, in which capacity he rendered eminent services in the cause of St. John. The council's grateful appreciation of his long and faithful service is recorded. :-\ memorial tablet is in course of erection in St. Mary's Roman Catholic athedral Cape Town. For some years past the council hm' made many efforts to introduce into the curriculum of the schools in the ape Proyince the teaching of first aid and cognate subjects. It is al 0 desired that a practical kno\dedge of first aid work sh?uld be .more extensively acquired by those engaged in industrial purSUIts and III all places where large numbers are employed. The recent ~pidcmic o[ Spanish !nAuenza impressed on the public generally the lI11portancc of a practIcal knowledge of home nursing. At the end of 1018. a r und was started to endow a lectureship for home nursing and to prOVIde the necessary appliances, etc . In addition to the theoretical lecture.'> deli\'e red by medical men, nur es are giving practical demonstrations in bed making, temperature taking, making of poultices and fomentations and in<.,t.ruction in the general handling of patients in a sick room, t~.e need for ~\'IlICh wa amply demon trated during the epidemic . The h..lm.berley Centre has been particularly active during the past year. Durrng L1,1 year 1919,9 first aid cla es were held i.e. , 8 male and 1 fem a le. Out of the total number of 185 candidates presenting- th e mseh'es for examination 105 qualifie I for the first aid c~rtificatc, 37 qualified for the \'oucher, 8 qualified for the medallIon and 10 qualified [or the label. In addition to the above num~)er, 21 members of the t. John Ambu lance Brigade at Kimberley qual10ed .[or the .medallion and 12 for the label, having pa. sed their examinatIOn a~ laId down by the rules of the Brigade. General ambulance \\'lwk in connection with the mines here has been carried out in a very satisfactory manner, owing probably to the fact that the De Beers ompany allo\\' their employees to take up this work during workin er hours and thus afford them eyery facility for gaining first aid kno\yledge.

The Ce~tre is greatly i.ndebted to Major S. M. Meadows, D.S.O., R.A. M.C., and Major VV. G. Wnght, D.S.O., R.A.l\f.C., for their kindness in giving several courses of lectures gratuitously. The close of the war brought some slackening of general effort. Nevertheless the work of the Indian Branch of th.e Association has not been unsatisfactory. Their Excellencics the VIceroy and Lady Chelmsford continue to hold office as President and Lady President respectively, and His Excellency the Commander-inChief as Chairman of the Indian Council, and their personal interest is a powerful force in the life and work of the Association in India. Its growth may be judged from the fact that thirteen new centres have been opened during the past ycar, bringing the total of provincial and ?ther branches in India to 353. Concurrently with this certain In:provements have been effected in the organization of the Association wIth a vie\~ to p~acing provincial centres in a more independen t position, more especIally 111 respect of fund . It is in ambulance instruction that the real test of the Association's work is found. The growth under this ~lead ha~ been really remarkable. In 1915 somc 1+,000 persons received 111structlOn. By 1916, this figure had been raised to o\'er 20,000, by 1917 to over 26,000, in 1918 to over 31,000. The progr s in 1919, although not so good, continued satisfactory. During the period ended 30t~ September, 1919, 21,573 persons attended the various cou~ses of 1I1struction, of whom 8,14+ were awarded the Association' certI~cate. The above figure compare fm'ourably \\"ith the figures [or prevlOUS year '""ith the exception of 1917 and 1918, and it is hoped that.the present falling off is ten:porary, due probably to a shortage of med~cal officer~ ; 19,228 were 111 tructcd in first aid, 631 in home nurS111g, 1,600111 home hygiene, and 114 in sanitation. The majority of the ~o~e hygiene certificates (1,129 out of 1600) have been awarded ~o pupIls 111 the educational institutions of the central proyinces and it IS hoped that not only will centres take into con~ideration the benefit~ . fru~ these courses of instruction, but that the educational ~uthontI~s 111 other provinces will see their way to the early ~ntr?du~tlOn of the standard courscs of in truction into their 1I1shtu~lOns. Specia~ attention has been devoted to instruction in firs~ aId, home nurs1l1g, and home hygiene in schools and colleRes dunng the p.ast year. The total number instructed was m 'er 7 000 as compared WIth 3,100 last year. Similar instruction has been ~i\'e~ in man~ of t!le branches of tbe Young Men's Chri. tian Association and also 111 vanous tro?~S of Boy Scouts and Girl Guides. The ll-India ambulance ~ompetltlOns have of necessity been suspended during the war, but thIS has not prevented tbe bolding of local competitions in Madras, Rangoon, and the Kola·r Gold Fields. When tbing return to the no:~al there will, it is hoped, be a Reneral revival of . uch competl.ttons, as they are valuable incentives to efficiency. In thi ~onnectl~n steps have been taken at Army Headquarters to revive 1I1t~rest 111 the work of the St. John Ambulance Association in the vanous comman~s. and it is hoped that these efforts will prove effective. ~nder the, auspIce.s of the railway centres, 262 persons have been 1I1stru.cted 111 first aId, 97 pa~sing for certificates. Of the police 8,810 were 1I1structed, 6,901 examIned, and 2,247 received the Association's INDIA. .

The Inspector-General of Prisons, Bihar and Orissa, says that most of the men of his department were practically trained in first aid, although owing to adver e circumstances they could not be examined. Translations of the text-books have been authorised by the Indian council in Hindu, Gujarati, Urdu, Punjabi, Pu htu, Tamil, Telegu, Bengali, Burmese, Gurmukhi, Kanarese and Marathi. Their translation into other vernaculars is in progress as the demand for translations is continually growing. The enro lm ent of members continues to have the clo e attention of the Indian Council. During the year under review the following new members were enrolled :- 13 honorary councillors, 82 life members, 459 annual members and 91 a ociate; thus bringing the total membership of the Indian Branch to 12,137, z'. e., honorary councillors 68, life members 1,231, annual members 7,873 and as ociate 2,986, but it is to be noted with regret that subscriptions for 1919 were only reali ed from 735 annual member and 358 associates. The Indian Council's cash receipts during the year amounted to Rs. 40,531-11-5, and expenditure to Rs. 33,764-5-5, leaving a credit balance (including investments) of R . 98,873-5-8, as compared with Rs. 92,105-15-8 at the close of the previous year. The expenditure includes R . 6,600 for the upkeep of the t. John mbulance Brigade in India. The Indian Council's income is derived mainly from the ubscriptions attached to membership of the s ' ociation, and occasional donations, and as its financird obligations increa e it i nece ary that there should be a progressive rise in income to meet it. The Indian Council again takes the opportunity of thanking the heads of railways for their generosity in carrying ambulance material for the Association free of the u ual charges. The Hon. Mr. \V . M. Hailey, c . . 1., C.L E., I.C.S., has been appointed Chairman o[ the Executive Committee, "ice the Hon. Sir C. H. A. Hill, K.C.S.I., C.L E., I. .s., who ha left India, and R.

The annual general meeting of the Indian Council, under the pre idency of the Viceroy, was held at Viceregal Lodge, Simla, on 2+th June, 1919, and was well attended . The committee regrets to record the death of Colonel R. P. Samut, 1\1. R. C. s., deputy-chairman of the Centre, and Corp urgeon, St. John Ambulance Brigade Oversea ; Colonel H. \V.

T h is confer nce also afforded the opportumty fo r a m eeting of the St. John delegates from Cape Province, Natal, T ransvaal, O range Free State, and Rai lway and ~arbou~ Centre. ~t t his meet ing it was resolved to form a South Afncan Central CouncIl and a first meeting of the Council was held in Durban last eptember w h en constitution rules and regulation were duly agreed. The functions of the Council are :- the furthering of the work of the Order of St. John in South Africa and the maintenance of that work at a high level and in keeping with the spirit as well as the letter of all rules and regu lat ions; the establ i hment of a central bureau to keep comple~e records and supply all information regarding the work of the Order In South Africa; the maintenance of the traditions and policy of the Order an d the fostering of a know ledge of fir t aid, home nursing, and hygiene; assistance in mutual co-operation between district and centres; to act a . a medium between government departments and the work of t. John; to receive and administer funds, donations, etc. ; to ensure the regular observance of the rule of the t. John Ambulance Brigade and Association. The Central Council, now being "un fait accompli," should prove to be most helpful in upholding the 'tatus and forwarding the interests and aims of St. John in outh Africa. The reorganization of t h e local work of the Association after the great war has also received long and continued attention. The restarting of cla . e and extending the Association's operations to educating the coloured population hay been dealt with and are under consideration. The competition for the " Selborne" Shield was held at Durban on ug-ust 31. t, the winning team heing De Beers (Cape) who are to be congratulated on their success. The past year has been somewhat uneventful, and it is only lately that a revival of interest ha been manifested. It is gratifying to know that the police authorities are alive to the advantages of the training, and have made arrangements for continuous classes among the memb rs of the Force . In ugust last t h e ch airmall, by request, addre sed a meeting of trainee. at the sports ground, and a most satisfactory cIa s con. isting of thirty candidates was subsequently formed, with such good results that the Mi li tary authorities, in communicating their intention of including fir!-,t aid as a suhject to be taught at the Central School of Physical Training, h ave requested the St. John Ambu lance A sociation to co-operate with t h em. During the year the rules of the Centre have been revised, due care being taken not to depart from the spirit of the ru les originally received fr om St. J ohn'S Gate. Upon the occasion of the Prince of Wa les's v is it in J un e , a loyal Address to His Royal H ighne s (who is a Knight of Ju st ice of the Order), was presented by the chairman on hehalf of the cent re, to w h ich a gracious rep ly was received which will be treasured among the archives in the office.

It may be remarked that "The Ambu lance Transport Service Act 1919 No.5" the main object of which is "to make better provision for ;enderi;g first aid to, and for the transport of sick and injured persons," and for that purpose to e tablish a board, while it .m~kes it " unlawful for any committee or organization to carryon wlth1l1 the boundaries of any district any operations similar to tho e carried on by the board" provides that" nothing in this Act shall affect the operati~ns of the St. John Ambulance Association and Brigade Overseas as carned on prior to the commencement of this Act, other than transport work. " 58 classe have been held during the past year, 51 in first aid and 7 in home nursing. Dr. Storie Dixon, a life-long supporter of the Ambulance Department, ha. succeeded Mr. Hanbury Davies as Chairman. During the past year the Centre has made considerable progress, and it is hoped that the numerous difficulties of organi ation which have arisen owing to war conditions have now been completely overcome. The following copy of a letter from the Adjutant-General of the Commonwealth Forces will be of interest a ' showing that the entre is endeavouring to carry out instruction 111 first aid on every possible occasion :" Au tralian 1ilitary Forces, L t Military District Head-quarters, Brisbane, October 19th, 1920. ecretary, t.

During the year 81 classes in first aid and home nursing VICTORIA. have been held. In addition the Council during the same period has opened up new avenue of training, and in conjunction ,,'ith the Education department, the rudiment:-. of home nursing and first aid have been taught to the elder scholars at the five Domestic rt:-. chools, three of which are in Melbourne, one at Ballarat, and one at Bendigo. The average attendance at each chool class was 30. At the clo e of the year the pupil were examined, tho e reaching a certain tandard being awarded special certificates i ued by the entre. The council is satisfied that this work is a useful one, and that the re oult will justify the effort. Additional interest wa taken in this work through the offer of Mr. V. B. Trapp of a shield, valued at thirty guineas, for competition, for which each of the five chools entered. The hield wa. \Yon thi:-. year by the Domestic Arts School at Bell Street, Fitzroy, and will be held for one year. The competition will be held annually for e\'en years, and the school winning the shield the greatest number of times will hold it in perpetuity. Another avenue which has been op ned up during the year is in connection with the training of senior cadets in elementary first aid. A scheme for this was formulated at a conference held between members of the Cadet Encouragement Committee and a committee appointed by the Council, as a result of which voluntary demon trators were appointed by the Centre to nearly every area in the State, and classes were commenced. This scheme was inaugurated at the instance of Dr. J. W. Springthorpe, and is appreciated by those cadets who have undertaken the course. In February, 1920, a Government order was gazetted, making it compul ory for all firms to provide certain specified first aid materials where there was a liability to 0

accidents, but no provision was made for the appointmen t of men and women competent to render first aid if required, and the Council have endeavoured to meet thi need. A number of firms were approached, and suggestions placed before them for the training of a number of their employees. As a result very successful clas ' es have been held. The Chief Ambulance Officer of the Victorian Railways is to be C011gratulated on his work of the past year, which resulted in the Victorian Railways' team wi nning the Interstate first aid competition . ~he standard of efficiency attained was exceedingly high, the team belllg high 1y complimented by the judges. The Centre ha!:> been honoured by IIis Excellency the . . , IT ' ht 0 f Governor, SIr FranCIS Newdegate, K.C.i\1.G., ",-Olg HEAD CENTRE. I 0 d b " '[h race of t 1e r er, ecomlllg 1ts patron. e num b er of classes held during the year (24) wa 16 less than the previous year, and indeed is the smallest number of classes conducted for many years. The falling off is not due to any slackening of enthusiasm among the workers but to the conditions existing after the Great War. There are al:eady distinct indications that the number for next year will be con iderably increased. The scheme launched last year to provide efficient ambulance transport for the metropolitan area has been further advanced. most suitable site adjoining the Central Fire Station, on which two-storied buildings are erected, ha been purchased for £2,300, of which £1,000 has been paid, the bala nce remaining on mortgage. The buildings can be altered to suit the requirements of a central depOt at a moderate cost. Donations have been received for the ,\m bulance Building Fund DepOt amounting to £1,086 5s. 8d., and the Centre is con trained to await further substantial contributions before it feels justified in activ e operations. Practically the whole of the constabulary of the State ha\'e qualified under the rules of the ,\ sociation to render first aid to the injured, while every member of the permanent staff of the Fire Brigade is required to qualify. The Railway Department, while not enforcing a fir t aid qualification, offers °trong inducement to its employees to obtain such. The Commonweal th Defence Department has intimated its intention to include in its syllabus of physical training a first aid course, and has asked the cooperation of the entre which will be heartily accorded. The V. A. D. has rendered furth er service at the Base Hospital, Fremantle, for invalid soldiers, the effort of these ladies being highly appreciated by the inmates of this institution. The annual meeting of member was held on the 24th November, 1920, at the Central Fire Station, Perth, when the annual report and audited statement of accounts were adopted, and the council and officer for the. ensuing year elected. The annual demonstration for the year 1919 was held in St. George's Hall on the 4th December, 1919, in the presence of His Excellency the Rt. Hon. Sir William Ellison-Macartney, P.C" K.C.M.G. Interesting addresses were delivered by Hi Excellency and the pre ident, Dr. H. G. Tymms.

A DD ENDUM. During the year 3761 students attended courses of instruction in first aid, home nursing and home hygiene. The St. John Ambulance Brigade in Wales now consists of 132 mbulance Division and 50 Nursing Divi ions. The present strength approximately 5133, an increase on last year. The establi hment of Medical Comforts Depots has been carefully watched by medical men, trained nur es and others interested, and large quantitie. of medical equipments have been eagerly requisitioned. DepoL are being e. tablished in the mining districts. Last year the ten motor ambulance car tationed in the coalfield carried 2666 cases and travelled over +5,000 miles. New stations are being- established, and numbers of Colliery Companies and Workmen' . Lodges have become subscribers. Th Tenby Hospital of 60 beds for ex-service men has been fully occupied during- the year, and the Ministry of Pensions are very satisfied with the work done. The \ Vrexham Hostels for the accommodation of those undergoing training at the Horticultural Centre have met a great want, and everything pos ihle has been done to make the men comfortable and happy. The nlver ity ettlem nt Building, Cardiff, were acquired by the Priory, and a t. John Ho tel opened at the request of the Ministry of Labour for th e accommodation of those receiving training at the Go,·e rnment Instructional Factory, East Moor, Cardiff. It has 100 beds and the canteen erected by H. M. Office of Works on the ground at the hack will, it is h ped, soon be ready, so that the 300 non-resident men may have some place in which to take their meals in comfort. PRIORY FOR WALES .

During the period of the war the strength of the Brigade increased from 9 51 Divisions with a personnel of 25,560, to 1,545 Divisions \\lith a total personnel of over 60,000. This increase show the large numbers of men and women who joined for war ' ervice. T he present strength of the Brigade at Home is 41,337 (27,647 men and 13,690 women). This compared with its trength on the outbreak of the war hows a net increas of 15,777. STRENCTH .

OFFICERS AND

N.C.Os .

During the year 1 have inspected Corps and Divisions Il1 Nos. V., Vr., X . , and XII. Districts. Ln all I find "till some war weariness existing, exemplified by holding back of members from rejoining their Units with the consequence that many Divisions are not up to strength, and by the ab ence from drills and in pections of members of existing Diyision ' . Still there are signs of improvement in this respect and new Divisions are being fo rmed . One of the most atisfactory matters that came to my notice is the har moniou working of members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade and the Briti h Red Cro s Society where both bodies are present in the same di trict, and I think I may say that in all districts where they are together, with the exception perhaps of one, this harmony exists. There is sti ll need for a closer co-operation between the Brigade and the Association of the Order in mutual support the one of the other. I think they want to realize a little more fully that they are both parts of the same great Order working for the same cause. This matter is receiving the seriou ' attention of both bod ies, and I am hopeful of a satisfactory solution of it. CENERAL

REMARKS.

Reports to hand record that on public and other occasions 173,227 case have been treated by the Brigade during the year. In the case ofthose Divisions which are in posse 'sion, or have t h e use of, Motor Ambulances, excellent work is being performed by the members in the conveyance of local sick and injured. Members of Nursing Divisions are rendering practical as ' istance to Civil Hospital and other formations, and in variou spheres of local activity in which their knowledge and training are of especial value. CIVIL WORK .

The revised conditions of service have now been issued and a number of Re 'ervists who enrolled prior to, and BERTH RESERVE. se rved during, the war have already notified their desire to remain in the Reserve, the establishment of which is fixe d a t 1,275. Annual trainings comprising a Man of War or Naval Hos pital Course of a week'~ duration will be resumed from 1st April next, an d I nspections by the Inspecting Medical O fficer, Surgeon Com ma nde r H . B. Hill , are now be ing arranged. ROYAL NAVAL

129 Presidents and \ ice-Presidents, 656 Officers and 550 N. .0. ha\'e been appointed and promoted.

THE

ST.

JOHN AMBULANCE

BRIGADE.

Colonel Ellis, Commissioner of No. [X. District, alludes in his report to correspondence passing between him and the repre entative~ of the Plymouth r\m bulance Corps, an independent body of worker~ in Plymouth who did much excellent work during the war under Mr. Hedley V. Miller, their Chief Admini -trati\'e Officer. 1 am happy to say it has re ulted in a mo t satisfactory union of the Plymouth Corps and the Brigade, and the Plymouth Corps with its officers, per~onnel, • and equipment, are now a Corps of the Brigade in No. I X. District. Thus considerable overlapping has been redressed and possible friction and confusion avoided. The new South-Eastern and Chatham Rail ,,'ay District, ;1 District restricted in its personnel to the employee!:-> of that line, has now been working for a year or more sati ·factorily and without friction with the Nos. I., II., and VIII. Districts, through which it runs. The chief point of this Railway District is that it leave the working membeL under the sole control of the Railway uthorities, while includingthem in one of the great bodie.,; representative of First Aid in thi~ country. Referring to Sir John Lumsden's Report and the cii Aiculty oC carrying" out the Brigade Regulations as regards efficiency owing to the present unsettled state of the country, I have authori ed him to continue the administration of his District under the conditions that were in force during the ,,'ar. The Brigade and the Briti ~ h Red ero s Society together are doing most valuable and arduous duty in I reland. and are tried considerably higher than they were during the late war. My Commis ioners, As istant Commissioners, and their Di...,frict Staffs have, by their continuous labours uccessfully carried the Brigade through a period of unsettlement consequent on the late war. They have had to contend with many difficulties during the pa t year and the tactful manner in which these difficulties have been handled reflects to their credit. An expression of appreciation is due to the efforts being made by corps and divisional officers \\7ho are making earnest endeavours to All the depleted ranks and bring their units up to the pre-war streng-th and efficien cy. The efficiency and succe sful admini ~ tration of the Brigad re t to a great extent upon the confidence and sympathetic co-operation of the District Staffs and the Corps and Divisional Officer, upon which the interests and welfare of the rank and file largely depends, and in this respect it is gratifying to be able to record the strong esprit de corps which exists. To one and all 1 tender my sincere thanks for loyal and efficient services. I have the honour to be, My Lord, YoudLord hip's:obedient servant,

Report of the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief of Nursing Corps and ])ivisions. SU{,

I ha\'e the hOl1our tl) ~L1bmit Illy report for the year

nding 11)20.

During the year I inspe cted the Acton, Pc:ddi.ngton, and Harrow Nursing Divisions of 1 o. 1. Dlstnct, and a t Birmingham, the Nursing Di\' isions of Bourm'ille, Carr~ Lane, Edgbaston, Erdington, Hanclsworth, Harbourne, Head~u~rters, Lye, .!'1alvern : Oratory, onthem, 'utton Coldfielcl, \ Vest I?lrm1l1gham, \\ In~he~tet and Tipporv Pansh of o. I• I 1. Dlstnct. J' J b H ouse, Y . \\ ! . C ..j-\. Dudle\' I n every case I found the members ex tremely keen on their wc: rk , ut all Divi-,ion . finding it more difficult since the war to obtain fresh recruits. . During- the year 1 vi ited the differe nt London Hospitals w~ere <?ut" member~ are working, and was extremely glad to he~r the sattsfactlOn expressed by the Matrons of their work and punctuahty.

INSPECTIONS.

The Wom e n's Brigade Committee met several times during the year, and has been the greatest assistance . to BRICADE me in dra\\"ing up uggestions for uniform for N urs~ng COMMITTEE, Officer , and in dealing with. everal proposals regardmg the \-\'omen'~ work. In ecember the Lady Superintendents and Nursing Officers of No. 1. District came Lo an "At Home" \\'hich I gave when Lord Mon on, the Director and ' hairman of the mbulance Department, honoured us by attending. .' ' In concl u ion I desire to place on record my deep appreclatlOn ot the support and loyalty of all the Di triet Superintendents, Officers and members of the Brigade, After-war condition ha\-e made recruiting more difficult, many of those \vho worked during the war ha\' ing resigned, or are still ,,'.arweary. The manner in which District and other officer~ of. N ursll1,g Corp and Divi ions have carried on, inspiring and enthusmg tl:elr members, ha been a \'ery great asset; and 1 tru t during the com~ng year that th re may be a large increase of members of Nursmg

WOMEN 'S

Division~.

I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedien t servant,

ST. JOIlN'S G,\TE,

SIR,

1 have tbe h~n.o~lr to. sub~it ~y .report for the yeal' ending December 31st, 1920. ~Iost of the Dlvl!:ilons 1I.1 thiS District bave passed thl"ough a yeac l)f r con trul'tion, OWIIlg to members retunllng [com war service. ~he following D!,isions, which wcre in abeyance during the war, owing to all the~l" members haVing been called Lo sen'e in the rorces, have now l'ecoIl1;nenced t hell" am bulancc work; No. 52 Barclay Perkins. o. 21 Bcomley. No. 56 l"ic k1cwood. No. N Lambeth. No. 41 Royal AI'senal. No. 55 Southall. No. 71 Tottenham. No. 25 Tottenham and Il ampstead Junction. 1 regret to state that the strengt h of the District is not quite so laro'e as'tl .:t th.e C'~nd of the war. This can be accounted for in two ways. Fi~st of a~~,cl~ lons ld elable number of members, both Ambulancl' and l ursing joined the B " d in ol'der tof be immediately attached to Divisions for tile sa'l<'c. of 1l'I1t , I . Il ga e " ~. ~ erIng wal' senlces 0 a special character, such as in the lilitary Hom e Ho~p'lt 'll J' es'"' tl R I N IA T S· ~ < " . CI \ e, le • oya . ava UXI lary - Ick Berth Rese~ve, or in ~ome o[ the Milita l'y Hospitals both at home and abroad. \ Vhel: the necessity f 0 1" thiS special service ceased, man of these members no longer WIshed to be connected with the Brigad Otl Yl were e b f tI' B' d b [ ~ e. 1e r s w 10 . m m ecs.o le n ga e e ore the war, after their st r e nu o us expe ri ences dUring Lhat penod, feltlhat they had earned a rest. Although some of these have

not actually resigned their membership, the can scarcely fo r the moment be regal"ded as effective members. otwithst g these powerful causes which tend to I"educe the strength of the Brigade, th outlook is very hopeful. Many of the war weary members will undoubtedly resume their activit ies, and those wh o have continued their work are enthusiastic. The attendance at drills has been well maintain ed, and any cal l for public duty always meets with a ready response . . On no occa ion, when the police have called upon the Distri c t to render services on public duLy, has there been any lack or volunteers . The numbers offering their services an~ always more than sufficient, however short the notice, to carry out the work which the Metl"opolitan a nd City police ask us to do. The sLrengt h of the Prin ce of \Vales's Corps, No. I District, is ;69 mbulance Divisions. 43 uI"sing Divisions. The following Divisions have been registered during the year ; Ambulance- TO . 8+ (Twick nham). No. 85 (Bora' of Ealing.) .\Tursing-.\To. +7 (Finsbury). No. 48 (Grays). No. 49 (IIampstead Garden Suburb). It may be mentioned that on the occasion of the Rally of Girl Guides in Hyde Park on July 12th, H. R. H .. Prince s Mary paid a visit to the marquee which the Prince of \\'ales' orps had erected as a temporary hospital, and showed con iderablC' interest in the patients undergoing treatment. The un\ ei ling of the Cenotaph was the most important duty of the year. Nearly one thou ~ and mC'mbcr of the Prince of \ Vales' Corps, tumed out for duty on this occasion, assisted by a few member of the S.E. and C. Rly. Corps, and a large number or ca cs wa dealt with. ~\ r eprese ntati" e of the District, on behalf of the BI'ig-ade, deposiLed a \\'re,) th aL the foot of the Cenotaph, in memory of those Illcmb r of the Brigade who died on behalf of theil' countl")' during the war. n !Ill' l1Ct"lsion or the unveiling of the Cenotaph and the burial of the Unknown \Van'ior in \\'estmin ter, the Rt. Rc\. Bishop Ryle, Dean of \Ves tminster, invited the mcmbl rs of the DislI'ict to take duty inside the .\bbey whilst enormous numbers or the general public went through the lave past the grave. This duty was continued daily until late at nighL the whole time that the c rowds passed, for more than a week. The Dean personally expre ed to the Commi&sioner hi high appreciation of the scn'iCl'S rendered by boLh men and women m embers of the Brigade undertaking- this duty. Duty has also been undcI"taken al "al'ious race-courses, and at Exhibitions held at lympia, l'.~'., the Boy couts Jamboree, ;\lachinery Exhibition, l\lilitaryTournam ent, and at th \\'hiLe City, c.g., the Ex- el"vice i\Ien's Carnival, and also at the Crystal Palace. ur 'ul'sing- Sister') Cl1ntillue to I"endec "aluable sen'ices in the" out-patients" departmellt of the large London hospitals. On July 3rd the Prince of \\'ales' Corp was inspected by the Chief Commissioner in II } de Park. The following were on paradeMedical Ambulance Officers-57. Nursing Officers-90. l\Ien886. isters-546. Tcmporal"ily the Distl"ict has b ~en di"ided into three pOI"tions, in order that Divisions mig-ht he illspl'ctC'd by three or thc Assistant COIllmissioners, I am glad to say that a numb('r of these inspections ha\'(~ taken place, and the reports cecei,ed from the Insp ecting Officers are encouraging. Thl prompt way in which Divisions have responded to calls [or public duty, sometinws gi\' n at vcry shOd noLice, l'ef1ects much c r edit upon the Division and also upon th officcr-in-charge. Following the cessation o[ hostilities the whole of the Head-quarters staff on the reser\'l~S has now been demobilized, and most of Lhem have r eturned to their duties; it is hoped that it will now be possible to lessen the labo~u's of those officers of the head-quartc I"s staff who ha\ e rendered such excellent service whilst their co ll eag ues \\'(' I"C <tway. Theil" wodz was fl'ndered more difficult in dealing with 4u estio ll of efficiency, etc., owing to the pcculial" condition et up by war service. To those members of the staff who have rendered and are rendecing loyal service to the Commissioner, I o[Tel" my gTatcfu l thanks. \VithouL their help it would have been impossible to carryon in the pa t the efficient administl"ation of the District. The strengLh of the Distri ct OIl 31 t D ecember, 1920, is estimated at 2 708 ':\.Iedical and. Ambulance offic~'s and men and 1,+89 Nursing officel"s and ur'ing Sisters, making a total of +,191, a decrease of about 20 pel" cenL. on the pI'e\'ious year's total, but a consi d erable incI"ease 011 the pre-war ngures . I have the honour, Sir, to remain, YOUI" obedient servant, \V. HUlIlPHRTS 'VINN Y, Commissioner. Knight or Grace or Lhe Order of St. John of J em alem in Eng-land. The Ch ief Commissioner,

OF THE

COMMISSIONER.

LO:-\GFORD GRANGE, COVENTRY. SIR, I have till' honollr to ubmit my I'cport for thc year ending 31 st December, 1920. SC\'c ral challges ha\e taken plact:' in the perso nnel dUI-ing the tweh'e months, but in mall\' cases \\ l~ still retain all the Rescn e of the Brig'ade the sen'ices of those who have r~siglll'd afkr ycar of active work. ' [Iltel- 's t ill thc Brigade i reviving and many ncw membel-s have been enrolled, LIlliS to som ' ext e nt fllling the places of those who joined for the period of thc war, .llld who, after the armistice, resigned theil- posts. Jr it is foulld possible to hold a Camp of Instruction in 1921 a great stimulus will be gi\ e n to recruiting.

' 10 'E R. QUARE,

PRESTO 4th t\pril, 1921. SIR,

I now beg to submit my report as Commissioner for ' 0. 1\' . (i\'orth \\'este rn) Distri ct, St. John Ambulance Brigade, for the year ending 3J st December, 1920. The period under re\·ie w can be described only by the \\"or I "slrcnuou . ... Efforts in the dire ct ion of holding Unit tog-ether had to be made rrequently, and failing this course of action, I greatly fear serious 10 s \,"ould have resulted to the Brigade organisation, through a tendency on the part of those associat ~ d with it desiring to relinquish their work in the Brigade, and for that matter to get away from all volunlaryeffort. This is a relic of the Greal \Y ar, and lhl' di po ition die but slo"vly. \Vith the close of lhe year there is one outstanding reward for the hard work ihat has been pul in on behalf of Lhe District, and this is the steady improvement in the supplying of I-eturns, and the manner in which these documents have been furnished. There is also a noticeable inrrease in lhe enthusiasm displayed by certain Corps and Divisions in the work of the BriO"ad~. On these two poinls we are to be congratulated, but if the Brigade is to continue its function, these efforls must be maintained and increased. The following statement sets forth the sl ren gth of the District during the year 1920 :-14 Corps, 138 Divisions. 107 sets of Ambulance Returns have been received and 31 Units have failed lo render this information. The returns reveal the after named strength : Corps Surgeons 8 Corps Officers 23 Divisional Surgeons 122 Superintendents 81 Ambulance Officers 70 Sergeants 232 Corporals 237 Privates 2,898 3,671

next year. . b h D' . i St , ff Throughout the year a great deal of time has been gIven .Y t e Istn.c <l and oth~r iu:ti\ e nwmbers of the Brigade, in the endec:vour ~o s~I~1Ldat~ th? II1lel-est in otlr work. Principally ha\'e crrorts been centred In m,:lInlalI1lng ltfe 1Il feeble Cnits and in endcavourino- to organize new Units of tbe Rrtgad~. I am glad to be abl~ to say that we are ~~adually getlll1g back so far as Competitions arc con erned, to the pre-war condlltons. ., . \Vl' havc again r vived our combined Parades and In . pectlons In .certalIl areas or the Dislrict. 011 Saturday the 12th June, the South . East Lancasl.lI:e. Corps a~~ Di\'ision wer' inspected by me at Darwcn. Some_ 25 Am~ulance .Dlvlslons an~ ursing Divisionc.; paraded. Ambulance Unils 3/2, NurSing Units 381, .Staff 8. Total 011 parack 761. On the 9th October I had the plea ' ure of seeing the As ociation l,f Cheshire Divisions. These paraded for me at tockport. T~ere wen? 13 Ambulance Cnits and 7 ursing Divisions, giving a to.tal of 219 'pa~adlI1g. I was exec dingly pleased \\"ith all I saw at both the e InspectlCns, and IL ~s very cr'dilable to the l nits concerned that so many turned up. I w~s gratl~ed to noti ce that many of both the men and women \\'el-e wearing tbe Bn~ade ~nlform. The cost of re-" lothing units at the present lime .is a huge finanCIal dIfficulty. pecial repol-ts of botb these parades have been furlllshed Lo you by me. . [again assembled the Distl' icl Conference at Morecambe on Saturday, lhe 16th October. It WilS it most . uccL~ssrul gath ring, and always has an extren:ely good l'fT ct 011 the District by bringing us all togethel-, lhus enabling con\"ersatlons to be conducted on malters affecting tbe \\ elfare of all concerned.. I. ha\'e t~ thank tb e i\Iavor of l\IOI-cctLmbL' (Alderman J. R. Birkett, J.P.) for h!s lI:terest 111 the Conference, and lhl' offiCl'rs and members of the i\Iorecambe units lor lhe very hearty welcome lhat \\"Cl extended to us. Resulting- from the rormation of a Joint Council of l.he Order of t. ) Ohl1 and Rriti h Reel 'ross lhcre bave now been formed two J OlI1t County Commltlees. one for East Lanca hire and one for heshirc, and I believe it is contemplated to establish another Joint County Committee in \Vest Lancas~lire. ., !\folor Ambulanc s ha\'c been taken over, and al-e bell1g run by an Incl-easlng Ilumber f Units. From every aspect this service is a most useful one. [n conclusion, I avail myself of the opportunity of thanking the members of the Distri,t taff [or their most loval and \"aluable support. I have never appealed either singly or collectively to them, that I have not had o! their. best. To the officers and members of ambulance and nurs1l1g ullltS, may I say how indebted I am for lheir efforts and cohesion in sustaining and strengthenir:g the Brigade movement through what may be termed a phlegmatic period in the hlslory of the St. John m bulance Brigade. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, CHARLES J. TRIMBLE, Commissioner, The Chi f Commissioner. Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John.

ROCK CLIFFE, CHEADLE, STOKE-ON-TRENT, 31st December, 1920. ~IR.

I ha\ e the honour to submil my Report for the year ending 31st December, 1920. 7 ~e\\' ,\mbul ance i)ivision ' and 2 new 1\'ursing Divisions have been formed during' lhe year, but it hilS been neces ar)' to disband one Ambulance Division and .1 Nur ing Di\ isions. The total now stand at 22 Corps, 189 Ambulance Division s and 97 . ur~ing Di\ i. i~ns. ~he delay in the orps and Divi ional returns reaching me has agall1 made It lt11pOS Ible lo correctly r epol·t th e strenglh of the District. The reaction frol11 the war period is nol y et overcome, but I am plea ed to reporl that the ef1ort- 01 the Offi cers al'e bearing fruit, and I feel sure that the old inlere t is r eviving. During the year 50 Service Medals and 13 Bars have been awarded. The Camp held at Blackpool during the fir t week in Augu twas vel'Y successful and I was pleased that you were able lo visit an d inspect us. Th e re were 610 of all rank pre cnl, and the camp was so instructive and enjoyable that I had a reque t during lhe week that another should be a rranged for 1921. I am therefore arrangil~~ a camp. fo~ the Whitsunlicl e week, again at Blackpool. The work of reorganlzlll~ th~ Dlslrlct 011 a County and Area basis is now in progress. .To the DI t:l ~t StaFf I have to express r~ly .appreciation of th e valuable help af~o.r~ed so WillIngly 111 the work of the DI. tnct generally, and to Corps and DIVISional Officel's for the efforts they are maklOg to put the Di visions on a sound peace-lime footing. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, SYDNEY \V. MALKIN, Coml11issioner, T he Chief Commissioner. Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John .

2, OSBORNE TERRACE,

EWCASTLE-t N-TvNE. l\Iarch 1st, 1921.

SIR, I have the honour to submit my I-eport for thl' Brigade year, cnding- Dec mbcr 30th, 1920. I much regret to repol-t another decrease in the member. hip from that of the previous year. The total membership at the end of 1920 \Va 5152 consi ting of 3134 members of Ambulance, and 2018 membel-s of i\'ursing Divisions, this being therefore 1768 lpss than in 1919. I am pleased to report however, that a g-radllal, although slow, I-eturn to normal conditions is to be seen in many division -recruits are coming forward, but here again a difficulty has presented itself in a scarcity of medical men who can give the time to takc classes of instruction, and on account of the disturbed conditions in the coal trade, the managers of collieries have not been able to give the pre-war attention to the organisation and maintaining of Ambulance Divisions . [n spite of the afore aid difficulties, it i however pleasing to note that the strength of the Brigade in the Di"trict is not Ie. s than it was in 1913 and just prior to the war. Great activities are to be seen in the "vork of the Brigade, e. pecially in Hull, Scarborough, Middlesbl"Ough, Sunderland, ewcastle, Gateshead and ] an-ow, but in addition excellent work is being carri c\ out in other localities. The Home Service Ambulance scheme of the Joint Council of the Order of Sl. John ancl the British Red Cross Society have placed Iotor Ambulances under the charge of Divisions of the Brigade at Percy Main, J arrow, Dunston, ConseU and II oughtonIe-Spring, and in addition the Brigade has interest in the running of ambulances in other places. The District hrts now acquired new head -quarters at 2, Osborne Terrace, ewcastle-on-Tyne, which have been purchased out of a funcl handed to the Commissioner boom the demobilization of the St. John Hospitals in Northumberland and Durham. These head-quarte.rs were opened formally by the hi [ Commis<;ioner in the presence of a large gat hering of people interested in OUI- work

on 20t h ovember , 1920. The Hull Corps has in conjunction with the Hull Centre acquired excellent pl-emises as head-qual-ters and a fine drill hall has been built which wa opened by the Chief Commissioner. During the past year visits of inspection have been carried out by the Chief COllI missioner at underland, Jarrow, Hebburn and Tewcastle-on-Tyne, and at the laUe,- a large Pal-ade of Divisions in the locality assembled. I regret to report that 34 Ambulance and 2+ 1 ursing Divisions have had to be disbanded or put in abeyance through lack of interest during the past year. It is to be noted that many of the Di\'isions which are still in existence have not had pmctices or drills d u ring thc ye<lr, or have not had sufficient to qualify for efficiency . I trust that this will be rectified in 1921. Two new Nursing Divisions have been formed at DaI"iington and Gateshead Borough. Long Service Medals have been granted to the following m mbers during the year : Ass!. Commissioner]. Anderson, District Staff. Amb. Offr. H. Batten, Cramlington. Div. upl. \V. H . Bird, Cramlington. Corp!. If. A. Marshall, Central Div. , Hull Corps. Sergt. F. F. Kennedy, East Div. , Hull Corps. SCI-gt. R. Agar, Hull & Barnsley Ry . , Hull Corps. Corps OfTr.

The total Honours gained during the war have been 202. I regret to report that 30 men have been notified as baving died on acti\ e "en'ice, bring- our total up to 227 men and 10 Ambulance Sisters. I I~l'g~et to report that Asst. ommr. Dr. Robert Anderson, after forty years' sernce ,n the Ambulance Department, has retired fl-om the Brigade on account of <ldvancing age. His los to tbe Brigade will be much felt in the. Tortb of England. Di t. 'ul-geon Professor Morison has al 0 rE'tired tbrough pressure of work. Dist. Officers E. " \Voot!, Dr. lIolt, Re\. J. Haslam, C. Thirkell, M.B.E. , J. Page, M.B. E. and ThoIl1p on havE' also relinquished their work in the Brigade. An old officer in Dr. I. lIIodlin, o. B.

Supt. \\T. Scott, O. B. E., hid 'onstable or . outh , hields, and Lady Diy. Supt. l\Irs. Brodrick, A . R. R.C., and ;'\11'<;. M. IIyde. . The ,\mbulance Competitions were held oycr in order to hold them in the beginnIJ1g of l'Clch year. ompetitions for Nursing Di\·isions resulted as follows : Yorkshire Cup-East Clevcland XLII-sing Division.

I have to thank all the mcmbers of the District Staff, and especially tbe District ecretary and Lady District Secretary, for the gl-eat help that has been afforded me in carrying out the work of the District. J also wish to express my indebtedne s to all orps and Di\'isional Officer, and members of other ranks, who have done thei,- best to maintain the efficiency of the Brigade. 1 ,'egret that owing to illne I was not able to gi\-e my personal attention to the work 0[" the District throughollt the yea,-. 1 have the honou r to be, ir, Your obedient servant, C.

REPORT OF TIlE COl\I IISSIONER. BRTARFJELD, CANTERBURY, 1st January, 1921. SIR, I have .th~ honour of pI:esenting my repod for the year ending Decem b er 31st, 1920. The Dlstn~t now conSists of -1- COI'PS and 3-1- Divi ions. Although the Folkestone and the Hastll1gs Cor~s ,h~ve had to be disbanded on account of I'eduction in strength both of officers and DI VISions, one new Corps bas been estab lish ed that of G" 'ldf I nde th H P'd f , U I ore, 11 ~ e o?or~ry resl ency 0 H. R. I-! .. ~he Grand Prior. This brings the grand to.t~l .111 the Distri ct up to a total of 57 DIvIsions, inclusive of those in orps The DIVISion at Hythc was disbandcd in December last on account of the member~ most of \~hom belonged to the School of Musketry, being called upon to fulfil other duties dunng the war. \.v? ~dch~I'ch was disbanded also in December, as a section of A~h.f~rd .Town Dlvlslo~ It was eminently satisfactory; but as an independent DIVISion It soon fell to pieces from inanition. But the most important loss to the

DISTRICT.

District, however, during the past year, has been caused by the transference of several hundred railway members to the new . E. & C. Railway District. Although the loss of these men is much regretted by the District Staff, yet it is realized that they are not lost to the Brigade, but are being the means of bringing in hundreds of their comrades who were-up to the time that the Railway District was sanctioned -not members of the Brigade. The total strength of No. VIII. District consists of 1 Commissioner,S Assistant Commissioners, 1 District urgeon, 2 County urgeons, 2 District Officers, 1 Lady Di strict Superintendent, 3 Lady District Officers, 3 Corps Surgeons, 4 other Corps Officers, 1 other Lady Corps Officer, 58 Divisional Surgeons, 23 Divisional Superintendents, 19 Lady Divisional Supcrintendents, 28 Ambulance Officers, 39 Lady mbul~ll1ce Officers, 69 Sel'geants, 85 Corporals, 601 Private, 512 Ambulance ~ister . Total, 1-1-55. From report. which have comc to hand it seems that the Ambulance Divisions, besides carrying out their ordinary duties of first aid, are const antly employed in the transpon of the sick to and f!'Om hospitals, infirmaries and nursing homes. "Vith re CTaI'd to the rendering of fil'st aid, one Division which has been formed about five ycars, ha attended to about 755 cases of stl'eet accidents, two-thirds of that number being removed to the hospital, whilst the remaining third were taken home and handed over to their friends, and during the same time 2-1-3 private cases wen:' transpol'ted to nUl's ing homes and hospitals. Another Di\' ision in an important county town, \\ here a good deal of transport work is necessarily undertaken, was fortunate ill seclll'ing a econd motor ambulance, being greatly assisted by a most generous gift to the Division by Cecil Quentin, Esq., of Guildford. The mileage run by the t\\'o cars during the past year has been nearly -1-,000. In addition, the meml1L'rs give asistance to the County IIospital in the postmol'tem room, and watch by night delirious patients in the same hospital. Another Di\'ision, in recognition of their work in thl~ pa t, have received a legacy of £100. Another Di\' ision reports 273 cases ot Ilrst aid hay ing been attended and 129 patients transported, the aggregate number of mil 's being 4,66-1-. Yet another Division has received the thanks of the municipal Clurhoritie for theil' performance of duty for a week on end during thc period kno\\ n locally as "the coke riots." \\'ith regard to the Nursing Divisions, several members have entered general hospitals with Cl yiew to training, a "ery large number are assisting in general hospitals, inrant welfare centres, and district nursing. The total welfare work put in by one Di~ ision of 25 members, dUl'ing the year, was 11,230 hours. A large number of Di\"isiolls han:! sick-room requisites and stores of all kinds which are lent to the sick poor. In one of the old tablished :\Tursing Divisions, one member is tl'aining at a gencral hospital, and much u e[ul wOI' k has been done in the district, 2,099 attendance being made by 17 members, 245 att ndances at the General Ilospital hy 13 mcmbers, and 92 by 2 members at children's welfare centres. This Di\'isio n is in close touch with the Ambulance Di\' ision in the same tOWI1, and is alwCl} s read) to supply ambulance isters to accompany the motol' ambulance whencver it goes out to convey women and children. Many repol'ts frol11 T\ur ing Divisions ,u'c to the same ffect, but I think a sufficiency has been quoted to clearly pro\'(' that the oiL! pre-war spirit of self-. acrifice, so largely manifested in the old days of till' Brig-ade, is still animating the ranks of our Ambulance and Nursing Division, nnd has not been elesll'oyed by the surfeit of \York they put in during the great war. In conclusion [ mu t thank one and all, who in ~o. VIII. Di trict have assisted in carrying- Ollt the work of the Brigade, as has been briefly touched upon aboy-e, and tender 111,}' ncknowledgments to the nwmbers of the District Staff, and to all offic rs, nursillg OfrlCC'I'S and mcmbers who hayc loyally can'ied out the duties assigncd tn them. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient sel'vant, CH.\RLES COTTl)N, l'night of Grace of the Ordcr or the lIospital of Sl. John or J erusalcm. The hier '0111missioner. Commissioner, o. \ 'III.

SIR,

I ha\e th e honour to ..,ubmit my r porl for the year e nding 31st December, 1920. :\1\' [lr t \'ear '.., work in l1ffice as Commissioner ha. been completed, and I am now

al;le to r~' port that some Di\ i..,ions are flourishing, some are reviving, whilst some IHL\l' failt' u a s vet to revi\'l. It must, however, be admitted that the problems of rL' -constructil)n- an being O\'l' rcome, and great credit is lue to lhose who have so ahly assisll'd in re-vi\'ifying th e energies and enthusiasm of various members. During thl' year under r ~ \' i ew, till' Lady District uperintendent or I were able personally to in ' pecl e\'ery li\'e Di\'ision in Cornwall and Devon, while making, en rl)ulc, aUl' mpts tl) resuscitate tho e in a sta t e of suspe nded animation. The Inspections pro\'ed to be vcry int e re ting work, and taught us the difficulties under \\ hich somc Supe rintenu e nts labour. .\ wa anticipt'Ltcd ome members only joined for the \\ar period and re igned on taking up new work, or on s ee king work el ewherl'. TIll' total I:umlwr of Brigade membe r-s on the strength of No. IX. District i" 7 '0 , mack Ill' of 520 members of Ambul a nce Di\'isions, and 260 member of NUl'sing Di\isions. In se\'eral instances new cia. ses are being held to make up k)"!>L' S, but till' expense of mnning the classes has been an obstacle in other ca e s. S e n ic e Medals ha\'c bl' ' n awarded to the following Corps and Divisions ; ~e\\ ton Abbot COI-P - 9 ; Exeter Division- 7 ; Plymouth (l\1illbay)-Sj Redruth - 2; Ashburton - 1 ; Bodmin- 1. N EWTl):-.I . \I3B(n CORPS. - There has been a total reduction of 39 members in th e Cor-ps, bul, at the time of the rendel-ing of the report, there was an air of fresh k eelllH's. in SL11l1e Division. This orp is 0 well organize d and its office rs are 0 keen that I feel sure that any temporary loss \\'ill soon be made good. l\Iiss :\fabL'1 ;\Ioy e)' , Lady Supe rintendent of the I ursing Division of the above Corp, reports that over 1000 visits have be n made in the neighbourhood of Newton Abbol by twelve j\ mbulance isters, the1'e b ino- no District Nurses in this town. Th' medical men of the town communicate with the Lady Superinten lent and the latter arr-angcs for- the employrn ' nt of a uitable Ambulanc' ister. This system is much appreciated by doctors and patients . REDRUTII. - The Superintendent r- ' ports that in spite of lhe ver-y distressing times, owing to the clo. UI'e of the lin min's, his Division has had a very successful year- as I-egards work and financially. :\I)' sill ere lhanks are due to thc \'CI-y able assistance receiv d from Captains Barry and \ Vhite, Mrs. Ellis, and Scrgt.-Major A. \\. lVI. Parker-. It is with much regr-et that the first i on tbe sick list but the best \\'ishes of all go forth for his p edy recovery. s regar-ds the last-mentioned hi as istance was most valuable to m e

THE

COMi\lI SIO TER. ST. EDMt:ND'S, FELlXSTOWE, 31st December, 1920. ,IR, J ha\ c lhc honour to submit the following as my report for the year ending 31st Dl'L"cll1 bel', 1920. The past Yl'ar has been onc or reconstruction, more particularly in the smaller and 1110l'C sl'altl'1'cd Di\'isiolls ill country di triels. A large number of demobilized 1l1l'1l h.l \ C rejoined their units, but there ha~ been a falling off in the holding of new dassl's <Lnd consequently thl' llul11bel' or Iresh recruits has not been sufficient to make lip [01' the 10'i'iCS during the \yar. There have been no new Ambulance or :\lll'sing Di\'isions [onlled during the year, this is parLly to be accounled for by the dilliculty in geLting doclol'S to act as Divisional Surgeons, and lo take tbe same inlL'rl'st in the training, ..'c., as they did in pre-war times. On the other hand there Ins hl.'l'1l a sub'itantial incn~ase in some of th older eslablished Divisions, notably lhe Ips\\ ich .\mbulance and i'\ursing Corps. The Cramel' , Lowesloft, Hitchil;, " 'a rC' and 7II a rch Divisions have made good progre&s during the yeal', and the Cokhc'itl'I' Di\ l'iion has a dded considl'rably to its trenglh by taking in small groups l)1 fil 's t aid mcn from adjoining districts. It is hoped in the future these may be 10rJl1l'cl into n cw local Divisions in thi' part of Essex. TIll' ;\lotl)r Transport \\'ork stan cd by the 1. John Ambulance Brigade in the three 'o unties l)1 Norfolk, SulTI,11k and Es ex in the middle of 1919, has developed ill it Ilwst 'iali factory mannel', and great credit is due to the committees of the celltn's at Ips\\idl, Colch e stcl', Lo\yetoft and Cromer, for the efficient way they han; CdlTied Ollt this llome Sen ice Ambulance work \\'ithout financial trouble. The live :\lotor .\mbulallc es wcre presenled by the Red Cross and St. John County 'o ll1l1lilll'l's on c ndition tbat the members of the Bl'igade undertool.;: to cove r a \\ idC' arl'a. From th e repol' ts sent in for the working of the full year 1920, this has bcell morc tlMn complied with. The large number of removals include London to 'o lchester, Ipswich and distl' ict with Lowestoft to Cromer. Practically the whole or tl1l' cast coast rrom Clac ton-on-Sea to Cromer has been covered by this Am bulance en'ice, so that it may be said that each station serves an area of from thirty to [arty miles, which mean s that patients in outlying tOW11S and villages are within from fifteen to twenty miles of a motor ambulance. The following is a summary of thc reports for 1920;01 'hester (2 motors, 1 horse ambul~nce)-3,633 patients; 10,000 miles. Ipswich (1 1110tor, 1 horse ambulanc e)-S89 patients; 9,000 miles. Lowcstofl (1 motor ambulanc e)-110 patients; 1,0-1-8 miles. ram er (1 1110tor Clmbulance)-69 patients; 1,261 miles. To the District laff, Corps, Divisional and Nursing Officers, I beg to cxpress my cOl'dial thank for all th kindness, courte y and assistance I have r ece ived in carrying on the work of the Brigade during the past year. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servanl, GEORGE S. ELLISTO', Knight of Grace of the O rder of St. John of Jerusal em . The Chief Commissioner.

MERRION , Ql'ARE, DLBLlN.

9lh Febnlary, 192 1. SIR, I have the honour to submit my Report for thc year ended 31sl Deccmber, 1920. The total number of Divisions in my District is 17 Ambulance and 36 Nursing, with a strength of 17 Ambulance O fficers and 195 N.C.Os. and men. 103 Nursi ng Officers and 870 Nursing Sisters. G rand total, 1185. Having 'regard to the exlremely unseltled state of lhis country it has been a very difficult m atter carrying on the work of the Brigade du r ing 1920, and although we had discussed m any schemes fo r the expansion of work on new lines it was q uite impossible attempting to develop th em.

DISTRICT.

Certain or our Units have been working exce llently, SCI zing e\'ery opportunity of doing public duty i'llld helping our various deparlments, oLhers have jusl bcen marking lime ill the hope of the clouds lifling. The dallg-er of this is that lost opportunitil's or the want of opportunity may inclucl' apalhy. Ilo\\,evel', I am hopeful that wilh Sl)t1lt' settlement of I rish affair:; wc may be able to OIKe 1110re interest our members and get 111l'ir active support. 1n thc counlry districls undoubtedly choas has reigncd-illspeclions have been oul or lhe question, and meetings could not be held without I'isk of life . On the 24th April, we were inspected by the Chief Commissioner, Sir James R. Clark, at Lord lveagh\; grounds. The Annual Competitions \\'ere held in J Ulll'. The Dublin l\mbulance Challenge Cup, I rish \\romen's Challenge Cup, ovice's Cup, and the :\Jiddleton-Curtis halleng-e CliP were compel ed for, lhe \\ innel's being as f 0110\\ S : Dublin Ambulance Challengc Cup-City of Dublin r\mbulance Division.

At til!:' Duhlin IToI' Show, the pring how and the Fetf' [or the Associated Dublin Hospitals Ambulance Slations wcre set up and did good work. At the latter [un tion highly succcssful dinner alld lea rooms were run and slarred by our Officers in conjuncti0n with the Red Cross, and a substantial sum was handed in to the ( rganisel's. ur Il1hulallCl' Di\ isions in Dublin relldered regular and efficienl service during lhe YL,lr at lhe folkH\'ing: Race Meeling-s, Thealres, Foolball l\Iatches, etc. ur Nursing lnits han' \\l)rkccl hard al OUI- Invalid ReLjuisites and Baby Clothing Departmellt , anJ han' also assisted at the Hospitals 'uppl)' Depol, "'hich is now u ed f(lr the ... upply l~f dressings, eLc., to the Queen \'ictoria Jubilee {\urses and the City 110spital . Th V.A,D. Club which is mana~ed by a Joint Committee of l. John and Red I'OSS has proved it great success, and has been the means of keeping our ursing istel's in touch wilh each olher, and al the same time supplying comfol-table I'ooms for meelings, and l'xcell nt meals at a reasonable figure. wing to lhe resignatioll of many of our ll1emb 'rs who wc rccoguised were only likely lo pro\ e lhem cl\'es ,,'ar \\'orkers, a readjustment of our Corps became necessary. The Public 'n iCl's Corps \\'as disbanded enlirely, and the Units comprised in lhe City and County of Dublin Corps, were allowed to revert to DIvisional slatus, the Corps OHiccrs being tcmpoI'arilv allached to my District Staff pending a n~coll ... lilulion later \"hen lhe pre ent crisis i o\er. \\'e are kCl'ping- closely in touch \"ilh the II'ish Centre of the As ocialion, and arc now working pracl ically a all body. This is as it hould be as I belie\'e that although lhe funclions of the Brigade alld A socialion are differenl lheir activities ar' inlerdependcnt and the closest liaison should be maintained . The Roy, couls and Girl Guides Headquarters are now at 40, Merrion Squarc, and we are hopeful of establishing a friendly and perhaps later on an active co-operalion \\'ith lhem in regard to Fil-st .,\ id and 'ursing services. In conclusion 1 must again expre s my incere thanks to my loyal and hard working taff, and many of my .-\mbulance and ursing uperintendenls whose work ha been beyond all praise. I have the honour to be, ir, Your obedient servant, JOHN Llji\ISDEN,

These Divisions have a membership of 670 and out of lhis number no less than 454 are lo-day equipped with the official uniform of th Brigade. I venture to suggest lhat this is a record of which we may justly be proud, and I desire to take this oPPol'tunity of expressing my grateful thanks to the Officers, N. C . O 's and men of the various Divisions for their loyalty, support and hard work during the pasl twelve months . I look forward with confidence Lo the membership being largely incI'eased during 1921.

The period of tran ItlOn from London Headquarters control to control by the Tational Headquarters at AND COVERU' Cardilf ha" been full of anxious moments over questions MENT OF THE of policy and the " ' isest method of government. DiverPRIORY. gent vi e ws h a ,-e been expressed and considered, and the \\ hole system of government evol\'ed baving special regard to the absolute nece sit)' of unifying the acti\'ities and interests of our various departments. It is elf-evident that success cannot be achieved with water-tight departments unconscious of each other's activities and con equently liable to overlap. CONSTITUTION

J oint Co~n.mittee equally repr.esentative of the Priory and the Brltl. h Red Cross SOCIety was formed in the 'ounty of Glamorgan to organi e " Our Day" and Church Collections. vVhen thi work was completed, it was tbought advisable that thi Committee should continue with powers purely advisory and consultative, and we hope in the near future a Joint Body for Wales of the two organisations will be established with full powers to deal \\lith the work of both societie .

The establi hment of our Medical Comfort Depots has been carefully watched by medical men, trained nurses, COMFORTS and others intere ted, and larg-e quantities of medical DEPOTS. equipment, bath chairs, spinal carriages, crutches, carrying chairs, water beds, and such like articles have been eagerly requisitioned . \lVe have thus been able to alleviate a great deal of suffering and pain. Depots are being establi hed in the mining districts, and so interested are the colliery workmen in them that we have had no difficulty in obtaining funds to purchase the nece sary stores . It is my ambition to see one at least of these DepOts established in every village and hamlet in Wale. , with the white cross of the Order above it doors. MEDICAL

Last year \.\'e carried 2,666 (two thousand, six hundred and sixty-six) ca e, in the ten car. tationed in the coalAMBULANCE field, and these travelled a distance of 45, 199~ (forty-five TRANSPORT thousand, one hundred and ninety-nine and three-quarter) SERVICE. miles. New stations are being- stablished, and numbers of Co lliery Companies and \lVorkmen's Lodges have become sub cribers. At mmanford. in the anthracite di trict, every Colliery Company and Workmen's Lodge is paying its quota . . n Advisory Committee has been set up with a view to assisting the Priory in perfecting this service. MOTOR

This hospital of ixty beds [or ex-. ervice m n has been . fully occupied during the year, and the Ministry of Pensions are very sati fied with the \vork done.

TENBY MOSP ITAL

These Hostels for the accommodation of the Trainees at the Horticultural Centre have met a great want, and everything possible has been done to make the men comfortable and happy. WREXHAM

HOSTELS.

The Settlement Buildings were acquired by the Priory and a Hostel opened at the request of th Ministry of SETTLEMENT Labour for the accommodation of the Trainees at the BUILDINCS, Government Instructional Factory, East Moors, ardiff. CARDIFF. It has one hundred beds, and the canteen erected by His Majesty's Office of Works on the ground at tbe back will it is boped, soon be ready, so that tbe tbree hundred nOt1-re · j lent Trainees may have some place in which to take tbeir meals in comfort. The United Services Fund Committee made a grant of £600 (six h undred pounds) and have sent us billiard tables, pianos, bagatelle boards and other amusements for tbe comfort of the men . ST.

A Clinic will shortly be set up at Swansea for the Ministry of Pensions for the use of the men in West Wales.

Jn conclusion, I wish to place on record my keen sense of appreciation of the splendid way in which the Centre and Brigade Officers and Members, as well as our Headquarters Office and Garage Staff, bave helped us through our work, anc~ to express a hope that the same loyalty to our cause will be a promwent featur~ of the current year. A ppeals have already been made for co-operatlon and a sistance, and, as Commissioner for Wales, no one knows b~tter than I the value of and the imperative need for such co-operatlOn: The motives of our Order run parallel to the best and greatest teachwgs of all nations. The war has made us all realise how closely rela~ed we are to and how dependent on one another, and now that the war IS over may our work continue lobe conducted in the same spirit of the great principle of Universal Brotherhood.

CONCLUSION.
