PHOMOTJONS, ADMISSIONS As

The Sec retary-General and the D irector of the Ambulance Department, the Chairman of the O phthalmic lI ospital and the Librarian read reports of the work of the O rder in their respective Departments howing continued progress and an increa e of the Order's activities in all direction. The Grand Prior poke in appreciati,"e term of the report. of the Order's work and said that in view of the e,'er increasing sphere of its usefulness in all parts of the Empir , and in order to bring its constitution and procedure into harmony with present day conditions and provide for future development it was con ' idered necessary to arrange for a new Charter and a corresponding revi ,ion of the Statutes of the Order. This work had been energetically pur ' ued by a pecial ommittee appointed by the Chapter-General, which had drafted the new Charter and Statute . The draft had been con. idered by a special meeting of the Chapter-General held on March 24-th, when various amendments had been made. The Chapter-General had approved the drafts in principle and they now had to lie on the table for ~ix months. They would then be br ught before a special Chaptet"-General for fined consideration, and if appro,"ed would then be . llbmitted to him as Grand Prior. In replying to a vote of thanks, which had been proposed by the ubPrior and carried with acclamation, for his gracioLls pre. ence in the chair the Grand Prior said, " 1 rise to thank YOLl in a few \\'ords for the very kind remarks that have fallen from the ub-Prior. I am sure I am lucky in having as my deputy one who has the g-ood of the Order so deeply at heart. Lord Scarbrough has followed se\"eral distinguished men who equally had the efficiency and the progress of the rder at heart, but in none have I found greater zeal than in our present ubPrior. As, to my extreme regret, I have to wint r abroad I am afraid his duties fall rather heavily upon him . There is so much \Vork done in the winter months which I am obliged to lea\"e to him, but he kindly keeps me informed of all that he is doing, and I wish to thank him and all those acting with him for the immense time and trouble they take in promoting the best intere ts of the Order. I am proud to be your Grand Prior. It is a position which I know my late brother felt \"l~ ry proud to hold and I am equally proud of having ucceeded him in that position. I think we may look forward to an enormous extension of the work of the Order in the future. There i nothing more encouraging than the way in which its objects are being understood and supported throughout the country. We are doing all we can to bring the duties and the principles of our Order to the knowledge of our fellow r:ountrymen, and I am happy to think that in a small way I have been able to help in other parts of the Empire overseas to awaken an interest in the cause. I feel certain that all that is taking place at the present moment will do a great deal to increase the interest in the Order of St. John, the oldest in the kingdom. I thank you for the kind manner in which you always receive me at this Assembly." His .Majesty the Sovereig? Head and. Patron has been graclOusly pleased to sanctlOn the electlOn by the ChapterENROLMENT~ .

The vessel was almost unmanageable and the injured man lay washing about in the \\ ater which filled the deck . to the rail. An ambulance and medical aid were summoned and boatmen volunteered to bring the skipper ashore in a boat, but on arriving ncar the Dock wall they were at a loss how to hold the boat ne;u- enough without gctting her smashed. Seeing the difficulty, 1\Ir. Frederick \Villi am Hammond, a mell1b'r of the Ram gate Division of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, watching all opportunity, jumped into the boat as she rose on a sea, nlOning the risk of bL'ing thrown into the water and da hed against the wall. Assi ted by the boatmen he slung till' skipper, "w ho was in d'le course hauled up, placed in the ambulance and convcy d to the hospital. l\IL Hammond 's action re ulted in th ' saving of considerable time in getting the injured man to the hospital, but unfortunately the skipper died from the effects of the blow after reaching it.

These caused the horse to beC'omc !-ather l' stless, and to jump abl1ul. .\s the deals continued to hit the horse' 11l'ad the driver lost control of it and it holtl'd. The driver was thrown. The above named onstable, who \\as on duty at the main gate, rushed out toward the horse, jumped at its head, and stnlggkd wit h it fllr about twenty or thirty yard, until he forccd it O\'c r to the wall oppositl the Policl' Lobby where he brought it to a standstil l. At the time a tram car, in which w ere a number of passengers, w as pas illg the main gate and Lhe plucky action or the onstable prevented a collision, \\ hich Illight have had serious consequence.

To Harry Cullwick, carter, of Birmingham, a

ertificalc of IIon our.

On 18th March, 1925, a borse attached La a milk Aoat was temporanly Il'it unattended in the carriage way in l\Ietchley Lane, II arborne. The horsl'. t hn111g h some unknown cause, started off and galloped along Greenfleld Road into tIll' I I i;.: h Street, where Harry Cullwick was dri\ ing a horse atlacl1ed to a cilrt ladlll \\ ith coals. Cu\lwick drew his cart alongside the runaway horse, seiz >d the reins, ami in doing so was dragged 25 yards, ·w here he even tu a lly brought the animal to a -..tandstill. The Police Constable who witnessed the occurrence con iders th prompt (lllcl plucky manner in which Cullwick acted averted a serious accident, as at Ihe tilll there were a large number of children in the streets coming from school, alld a motor bus was approaching from the oppo ite direction.

To Patrick Shields, pier porlcr, of Rothesay, a Bronze Medal. On 19th March, 1925, while the P.S. Grenadier was leaving thc st amboat pier at Rothesay, lorman Graham, a passenger, fell from lhc d eck into lhe ,,"atcr hetwccll the steamer and the pier.

Both men were lhen taken up by Il1lans of a rope ladder. Graham had a cut on the hea d, probably caused by one of the paddle flo at, and appeared to be partly stunned. Had it not been for Shields' prompt action (which was taken at great personal risk as the steamer was close to the pier and swinging on the stern rope only) the accident might have bad falal results.

On Friday, 21st July, 1925, two horse attached to a waggon leldcn with mineral waters were left tcmporarily unattended at the junction of L' lie Road and Resel-voir Road, Birmingham, and suddenly bolted. At the corner of llyde Road and Clark treet, the waggon collided ,,-ith a dairyman's hand-truck_ "!i~liam Alfred rutchley who was riding a bicycl saw the horses approaching. He dIsmounted, and as they pas ed h' I-a n along ide and sL'ized th' I' ' in. Aft r being dragged about fifty yards, he succe 'ded in bringing them to a stands! ill. There was a large amount of vehicular traffic along the route, and a steam road roller and a tram car w re approaching at the time.

To Edward Gisbourne, railway carter, of Birmingham, a Certificate of Honour. _On_ 8th October, 1925, Edward Gisbourne was dl-i\'ing his IOIT), in Temple, trl'el, Blrl11lngh<l:m, wh n h~ saw ~ horse with the bridle off attached to it lorry galloping to\\-ards hllll. It collided With two oth'r ,"chicles and was nearing it narrow part ?f the road which \\'a congested with traffic. Gisbourne stoppcd his lorry, jumped Il1to the road, and stopped the runaway hoI' l' by cat 'hi llg hold of the top of it head with one hand and its nose with the other. A it was a PO\\'l'r/ul draught horse he ran considerable personal I-isk and owing to the larg amount of traffic in the street he \Va probably the means o[ preventing a serious accident.

During the year there has been a considerable increase in the number of cla es of in trllction formed and examined AMBULANCE and also in the number of re-examination held and awards ASSOCIATION. issued. This gratifying expansion of the work has been most apparent on the Railways, in H. 1. Prisons and Borstal In -titution , and in the Metropolitan and City Police and in the County and Borough Police Forces. The number of classes in the mining areas has been satisfactory, especially when the state of the industry is taken into consideration. Classes continue to be held in various parts of the country for crews of fishing fleets and arrangements have been made with the Royal National Life Boat Institution for the training of members of Life Boat crews in fir t aid where those crews are not in touch with Divisions of the St. John Ambulance Brigade. The instruction of members of the Mercantile Marine is well maintained. New ground bas been broken overseas, notably on the Beira, Mashonaland and Rhodesian Railways, in South West Africa, in Coomassie, Gold Coast Colony, and at Baghdad, where efforts are being made to extend the work to other parts of Mesopotamia. Through the medium of Centres and detacbed classes at home and overseas the Association has issued during the year 9,222 medallions, 20,992 labels and 2,778 pendants, in each case an increase on the figures for last year and a total increase of 2,755 awards . The number of certificates issued in England, Ireland and Wales during the year is as follows : ST.

being an increase of 1,760 on la. t year's figures. During the year the entres on the various sections of the London, Midl and and ~ cottish Raihvay, and of the Southern Railway, have been amalgamated. A Centre of the Association has been formed at Bournemouth and the Centre at the Polytechnic, Regent Street, London, has been revi\·ed. Many of the larger Centres are in a flourishing condition notably tho~e in industrial areas . Owing to the expan ,ion of the \Vork in the 'ape Province, South .\frica, it has been found necessary to establish Griqnaland \V est as a separate Centre and its formation was approved during the year. There has been a noticeable increase of activity in m t of the Oversea entres and the Central Council for South Africa, lew Zealand and .\ustralia are doing much useful work. The final competition for the Inter-Railway Ambulance Challenge bield was held at the onnaught Rooms, London, on May 15th. The hield was won by the London, Midland and Scottish Raihvay. The hallenge bield and prizes were presented by the Viscount Churchill, G . . V.O') etc., Chairman of the Great Western Railway. The official demonstrator of the A sociatiol1, 1\1 r. C. Hanm er, has given practical first aid exhibition and lantern lectures during the year in all parts of the country. He has also been able to make greater use of cinema hall in which to how the various film of the A sociation, thus bringing before a wider public the work of the Association and the Brigade. .\ new film entitled" St. John Cameos-Pa t and Present," very largely the work of 1r. Hanmer, has been produced and has been well received. By the generous gift of a \Vell-\vi her, the Association has been able to ofTer as istance to those of its Centres desirous of establishing Medical Comforts DepOts in their areas. It \Va decided that a DepOt can be equipped in the first instance for a sum of £30, and Centres are asked to provide half the cost or half the equipment, the remaining half being provided from the tores Department. The same facilities have been offered to Divisions of the St. John Ambulance Brigade and 28 Centres or Divi ~ ions have taken advantage of this offer. The invalid removals carried out during the year numbered 2,300, the number of patients carried being 5,232, with a total distance of 53,535 mih~s .

The St. Paul's Ambulance Station continues to provide assistance to a large number of persons. The number treated during the year \Va 1,485.

The knowledge these boys and girls gain by instruction in fir t aid and home nursing is of inest imable value to them, and the as ociation with their elders in the beneficent work of the Order will, without d(lubt, fi.t them to be worthy citizens of the Empire, and it is hoped valuable and efficient members of the St. John r\mbulance Brigade in time to come . During my inspections I saw many adet Division on parade; they looked smart and well turned out, and they knew their first aid \\'ork. This rebounds to the credit of the Cadet Officers who have taken on the duties of instructing these boys and girls . The Sub-Prior, acting on behalf of H. R. H. the Grand Prior, has approved the following appointments :District Officer Anthony J. Connor, :\1. B. E., to be ssistant ommisioner, Irish District, 17.7.25. District Officer George F . Browne, to be Assistant Commissioner for Leicestershire, No. III. (Eastern) District, 17.7.25. District Officer Lieut.-Colonel vVilJiam B. Cockill, T.D., ;\l.D., to be Assistant Commissioner for duty in Westmorland and Cumberland, No. IV. District, 20.11. 25. The following resignations have been accepted with regret, but it i satisfactory to know that both these Officers have joined the Re erve :Colonel C. 1. Ellis, Commissioner, No. IX . District, 30. 9.25. Assistant Commissioner S . Vilven, TO. 1. (Prince of Wales') District, 20.11. 25. It is with sincere regret that I have to report the death of Assistant Commissioner Brig.-General Ernest A. Tudor Tudor, No. VIII. District. The Brigade by hi s untimely death has lost the s ervices of a most energetic and efficient Officer.

The British Empire Exhibition was again staffed by Brigade personnel on ~lternative months during the period it was open to the public. Provincial Districts, including Wales and Ireland, again materially assisted uy supplying personnel for this duty. The Exhibition authorities speak very highly of the efficiency and discipline of the personnel which took part. My thanks are due to Captain G. Gerhold, Public Duty Officer of No. 1. District, for having placed full time service at the disposal of the Order, and for the very able and efficient manner in which his duties were performed. I also wish to thank all Officers, men and ambulance s i ters for the services they rendered in carrying out this duty. The mechanical age in which we live a.nd the increasing speed of all movement is responsible for an ever increasing number of accidents. otwithstanding the many precautions taken by the police and other authorities to minimise such accidents, the demands made upon the Brigade are increasing, and I am plea'-'ed to report, thank s to our increase in numbers and in the number of ambulances in charge of Divisions, that all demands for as<..;i~tance have been promptly met. The efforts o[ the Lady uperintendent-in-Chief to obtain some practical hospital instruction for member of ursing Divisions have been most successful, and the instruction so obtained bas been gratefully received by those who have been able to avail themselves of it. Motor ambubnce transport is now a very important branch of Brigade work and Divisions are yearly undertaking the management of more ambulance cars belonging to the lIome ervice Ambulance Committee or which are purchased [rol11 their own fund. They are also adding to the u efulness of these ambulances by answering police and fire call , and by the conveyance of crippled children to schools. In this they are greatly helped in many cases by the To\\'n or Urban Councils which ap~rec.iate the urgent need for uch a seryice and provide garages or assIst 111 the co t of management. In consulta.tion with my Commi sioners, a scheme was prepared whereby the Brigade is now able to co-operate with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. The necessary organization and the form of assistanc~ to be given has been left to the local Officers of both the Royal NatIOnal Lifeboat Institution and the Brigade to settle. Thanks to the generosity of a well-wisher o[ the Order, \\'ho presented a cheque for £ 1,000 for the establishment of 1\1 edical Comforts Depots 28 new depots have been started . They are intended to supply the sick a?d needy wit~ sickroom comforts and medical requisites at a very small hire fee. Whde certain Divi ions have for years undertaken a similar wo:k in a ' mall way, it is only during the past tweh-e months during which the new scheme has been in operation that thi rapid increase has taken place. .H.~. the Duke of Connaught inspected the Prince of \V ale 's Dl tnct 111 Hyde Parle The support given by the presence of members of the Order ?n t:lis occ~sion was much appreciated by all on parade. The follow111g lI1SpectlOns of Ambulance and Nursing Divisions were made by me : -~eicest.er Corps, Todmorden Units, Lincoln U nits, Bri ~ tol Corps, Cormsh Umts, Ipswich Corps, and No.5 District Camp at Scarborough. I also made a tour of Ireland, both in the Irish Free State and Ulster, a report of which I have already submitted . During my inspections I was pleased with the smartness of all ranks and the c

care taken of their uniforms and equipment. Variou demonstrations which I witnessed were carefully arranged, and admirably performed by those who took part. Colonel G. . Moore, the Deputy Chief Commissioner, made the following inspections on my behalf :-Wellingborough orps, Birmingham Corps, Warwickshire Corps, outh Staffs Units, Northampton Corps, Hull Corps and Beverley Division, Ply:n outh ~or~s. Colonel Perowne, Secretary of the Ophthalmic Hospital 111 Jerusalem, inspected the No. XI. (S.E.& C.R.) District. .' They were able to give equally atisfactory reports of the U mts whIch they inspected. In some cases the Deputy Director ledical Services and the County Controller took part in the parades and made it their own annual V. inspection. The e combined parade are to be enc~uraged becaue t~1ey save the expense of duplication of in pections, and give th other official concerned an idea of the strength and organization of the Brigade from which these Detachments are drawn. Another plea ing [actor was the practical interest taken by the Mayor and municipal authorities who attend many of these parades, thereby showing their practical sympathy and support with our work. From my inspections I am satisfied that the Brigad is in a very high state of efficiency and ready to meet any state of emergency. The Camp at Scarborough was well managed and left nothing to be desired. Such camps tend to promote good fello\\" hip and are an incentive to the further development of the work of the Brigade and a help in maintaining a high state of efficiency. The Competitions for the" Dewar" Challenge Shield, the" . ymons Eccles" Challenge Cup, and the" Perrott" Challenge Cu p, were again held at the Great Central Hotel. The event tbis year was a noteworthy one in view of the presence of Her Majesty the Queen, \\"ho graciously consented to present the Shield , Cups and Prizes. The staging of the tests were even better than the previou year and there was general agreement that the reform in the conducl of these Competitions is a very welcome one. The Judges considered that the standard of efficiency in First Aid and Home Nursing of the teams which they examined had considerably increased, and that the objects for which the Competitions were started are being well maintained. The results were as follows: -The" Dewar" hield was won by the Wolverhampton Division and the "Perrott" Shield by the London Bridge (Southern Railway) Nursing Division. I have been very favourably impressed by the zeal and earne ' tne _s shown by Units, and member individually, to provide themselves \\"itb a permanent Headquarters and in many Divisions there are schemes on foot for attaining this object. I have on all occasions urged upon Commissioners, Officers and others to recommend to their units the advisability of vesting these buildings in the Order. The Royal Naval Auxiliary Sick Berth Reserve remains very popular with all ranks and it gives me plea ure to append herewith extracts from the reports received from the Admiralty concerning tbis Reserve :"Strength.-The Reserve has been maintained at full strength throughout the year and on 31st December there were 172 names on the waiting list.

Training.-1,013 Reservists have undergone a course of training during the year. This represents 79.4% of the total complement, as % compared with 76.9 in 1924 and 80% in 1923. As was the case la t year a large number of men were debarred from training on account of the prevalance of mall Pox in the districts in which they lived. Inspections.-During the year I inspected the Reservists belonging to 95 Corps and Divisions of the St. John Ambulance Brigade at 24 Centres. 19 Divisions, representing 74 men, were excused inspection as they each provided only a few Reservists or the men were enrolled after I had inspected that district. Tbe attendances were very good, only 4% being absent without excu e. Present 989, Excu ed 153, Absent 50. Generally speaking, the men \vere found to have gained a large amount of useful inform ation and experience during their training. They continue to maintain their very smart appearance and the di cipline throughout was excellent. The P.N.A.S.B. Re en'e also owes much to theOfiicersin charge of the Corp and Divisions of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, and to the N. C. O's who act as Corps and Divisional Secretaries. Upon these Officers devolves a considerable amount of voluntary work connected with the Reserve alone, and this work is always carried out willingly and with zest. The Lords Commissioner of the Admiralty requested me to convey to all concerned Their Lordship cordial appreciation of the voluntary work performed in connection with the Reserve by the Officers and non-commi _ ioned Officers of Corps and Divisions of the St. John Ambulance Brigade. It ga\'e me much plea ure to issue Their Lordships commendation in a aval Reserve Order." I again wi h to bring to notice the admirable service rendered to the Brigade by Surg on- ommander G. O. M. Dickenson, R.N. The ympathetic way in which he deals with all matters submitted to him in connection with the Reserve, has earned for him the appreciation and tl?ank of all rat.ing. The consideration he gives to a rating's domestic c.lrcumstances gIves everyone an opportunity to carry out their obligatIons and maintain their efficiency. The. cheme for the new I ilitary Hospitals Reserve has been approved, but actIOn cannot be taken until the Army Council has issued its Army Order. on the subject. When the time comes to commence recruiting for thiS Reserve, my Commissioners inform me that they have little fear as to the number allotted to their District being enrolled. Many of my Officers during the year have made visits and attended meetings with a view to encouraging enrolment in the Voluntary Aid Detachments, and while their efforts hCive borne fruit, the number of Detachn:ents formed and the personnel enrolled ha not come up to expectatIOn . Unlike the R.N.A.S.B.R. and the M.H.R., the V.A.Ds. as. such are not under their own superior officers, and I can only attribute thiS c,:use as the main one accountable for the apathy which in some cases IS apparen t so far as V. A. D . are concerned. The following table shows the number of St. John V. A. Ds. and personnel :Detachments. Men. 'Vom en. England

REPORT OF TIlE CIL\PTER-GENERAL.

1 have again to report that the finances of the Brigade on the whole are sound. More Divisions are taking advantage of the regulations which permit them to hold flag days under certain conditions. There is in orne district , a reluctance to allow a portion of the money collected on flag days to leave the county and the limited number of Oag days is chiefly due to this feeling. I ha\' e much pleasure in drawing attention to the continued unse1!l::,h zeal and energy di ' played by all ranks in furthering by every means in their power the objects of the Brigade and to the invaluable services rendered by the Medical profession. In conclusion, I wish to place on record my deep sense of appreciation, gratitude and thanks to eyeryone for the sen'ices they ha\'e rendereclmf: as Acting Chief Commissioner, and to the t. John Ambulance Brigade. During the year ended 31s[ De ember, 1925, 393 ervice Me lals [or fifteen year completed service, and 257 Bars, for every five years' further efficient service, have been awarded to the following Members of the Brigade : Baker, Pte.

AMBULANCE BRIGADE OVER EAS.

I appealed last year for subscrip t ions to the O phthalmic Hospital at ] erusalem and I am much gratified at the generous response to that appeal. I am asked by the Chairman of the IIospital Committee to extend his best thanks to all those Divisions and members who fonvarded ',ubscriptions and to express the hope that they will not fail to remember lhis work again in 1926. Wilh reference to the work in each Dominion or Colony I have to report that in : Au TRALIA.-The efforts made to expand the Brig-ade Overseas have met with encou raging success in all Districts, 7 new Divisions having been registered during- the year. In the New South Wales District, Cadet Divisions are being organi ed. The Glebe Cadet Division which will shortly be registered will be the first Ambulance Cadet Division in the Brig-ade Overseas. WE T AUSTRALIA. - The \\'ork of the Brigade Overseas has now gained a footing on the \iVest Australia Government Railways and 5 Railway Divisions have already been reg-istered and others are in process of formation. This is a very gratifying beginning and there is every prospect of still further developments. CAN.\DA. - Two new Division in the Manitoba Di ·trict of Canada have been formed. During the year the Service 1edal of the Order was a warded to Sir Henry V. Mill Pellatt, c. Y. 0., the Deputy Chief Commissioner and to Dr. C. J. Copp, the Commissioner in charge of the Ontario District. These two Officers have served the Brigade Overseas long and faithfully and have "vell earned this award. CEYLoN. - Service Medals were issued to members of the Ceylon Police Corps which fact testifies to their efficiency. The Corps still continues to show good progres and the membership has now increased to 1,082. Several cases where excellent first aid has been the means of saving life are reported by the Corps; and it is gratifying to note that the Testimonial on Vellum of the Royal Humane Society has been awarded to two members during the year. GIBRALTAR.-There is not much room for development here and Brigade Overseas work is still confined to the members of the Civil Po lice Divi ion, who attend public duty and carry out their duties ve ry efficiently.

HONG Ko G.-The work in Hong Kong is progressing favourably . The existing Divisions are increasing in strength and 2 new D ivisions have been formed (although not yet registered). On many occasio ns t h e m embers of the District h ave proved their worth on public duty but th is year t h e wo r k performed on the occasion of the Po Hing Fong disaster stands out. Th is disaster which occasioned the loss of 75 lives was t he scene of hero ic and devoted work by the members of the Brigade Overseas and the Life-Saving Medal of the Order has been awarded to Ass i tant Commissioner E.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GE ERAL.

INDIA .-The Brigade Overseas in India has sustained a severe loss in consequence of the departure from India of Sir Frederick \iVhyte, K. c. S. 1., the Deputy Chief Commissioner, and I thank him for the \\'ork he has done for the Brigade Overseas during his term of office. ir Henry Moncrieff Smith, C.1. E., has kindly accept d the vacancy cau ed by ir Frederick \iVhyte's retirement and I welcome him heartily, and feel sure that under his leadership the Brigade Overseas in India will maintain it efficiency. The work of the various Corps and Divi ion has been carried on sati factorily during the year and a large amount of public duty has been performed at many important functions.

I also send my best thanks and appreciation to all Deputy Chief Commissioners, Officers in charge of Districts and their Staffs and to all Officers and mem bers of Corps and Divisions and trust that the spirit of service which they have displayed so well in 1925 will remain with them not only in 1926 but for many years to come. During- the year ended 31st December, 1925, 91 Service Medals and 14- Bars have been awarded to members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas as follows : ERVICE

MALTA.-The progress of our \\'ork here is steady. NEW ZEALAND.-Matters are progressing favourably and all Districts show an increase in activity and streng-tho I regret to have to record the resignation of Major \'\1. Fleming, the .\s. istant ommissioner for the Otago District, but I am glad to ay that the vacancy has been filled by Colonel \N. Strong to \Yhom I extend a warm welcome. SOUTH AFRICA.-St. J obn Ambulance work is being established 111 Rhodesia and the South West Mandate Territory and it is hoped that before long these \vill be acti\'e Districts of the Brig-adc verseas. The efficiency and well-being of units within the Cape Pro\-ince and South African Railways and Harbours Di trict continues to increase and my thanks are due to the Officer in charge for their \York. The atal and Orange Free State Di tricts are howing ign of a revival of intere~t and to the former goes the honour of having formed the first Cadel Nursing Division to be registered in the Brigade Overs as. The Transvaal District which owing to various circumstances has been dorman t for a period is making every effort to return to a state of activity. Th 1st Johannesburg Nursing Division ha been formed and the "\ssistant Commissioner, Colonel Brennan, hopes to form others in the near future. Almost the entire personnel of the Brigade Overseas in oLlth. frica i. now in uniform and this is causing members to take a keen r intere-;t in their work. The visit of H. R. H. The Prince of \Vales to outh Africa gave the Divisions many opportunities for public duty and letters ha\'e been received testifying to the completeness and efficiency of the first aid arrangem~nts during the Royal visit. The Deputy Chief Commissioner, Dr. Benl11e Hewat, undertook a tour of inspeclion which started on the 19th September and did not finish until 13th October during which time he and District Officer C. G. Dowthwaite travelled over 3,500 miles. Durin~ t~i~ tour Dr. Bennie Hewat was able to inspect many Divi _ions and hiS VISit has been a great encouragement to the Divisions with which he came into contact and my thanks are due to him for undertaking such a task.

IIO SPITl\L, JERUSALEM.

Tbe following i::-. exLracled from the Thirty-Fourth Report of tbe Committee :-" With the exception of in-patients HOSPITAL, the figures show an increase over the preceding years. JERUSALEM. Our in-patients numbered j ,527 as compared with 1,676 for 1924. Tbis can be accounted for by the temporary closing of tbe tbeatre and the \\'ards for a much needed painting and colour wasbing and by tbe increase of trichiasis operations in tbe out-patient department and the consequent occupancy of beds by intra-ocular cases wbose stay in tbe Hospital is never less tban a week and generally a good deal longer, as against tbe tbree or four days of a trichiasis case. New out-patients have increased from 16,225 to 16,640, total attendances from 75,560 to 81,495 and operations from 4,293 to 4,407. The Sub-Warden retired in April and the post has not yet been filled, but Dr. Shelley, \\'ho has on previous occasions done temporary work on the staff, was appointed House Surgeon for twelve months. He took up his duties at the end of June. The outstanding event of the year under revie\v is the installation of electric light and po\'\'er in the Hospital. It took longer than was anticipated owing to a variety of causes, but your Committee is atisfied that the work has been well done. Particular stress was laid on the point that everytbing in tbe nature of the equipment should be Bl itish. Writing in July the "Varden in sending on behalf of the whole staff heartfelt thanks for the boon of electric light says, "It is difficult to exaggerate tbe increasing effect for good it must bave not only in our profe sional work but in our ocial life. Our ' is the last Hospital in Jerusalem to be so lit and even the 1\1 ission Hospitals in Gaza, Jaffa, Haifa and Tiberias have had this impro\'ement before us, but it is freely acknowledged that nowhere el e in Palestine is there an installation to compare with ours." The X-Ray equipment wa in working order in September. It was first u~ed on a Britisb officer \\'ho had got a lead pellet in his eye "vben out shooting. A new sterili~er has also been installed. Tbis was tbe gift of some kind Canadian sympathisers. Money has been forthcoming from other supporters to provide a " giant magnet" for the extraction of metal sub. tances from the eye and it will be despatched as soon as the most uitable type has been decided upon. Sir William and Lady Plendc:r bave given a new instrument cabinet \\'bich is being made to the \iV arden's design. Tbe Committee is very grateful for this bandsome gift as tbe existing cabinet is by no means dust-proof and is of an obsolete type. It may be of interest to add that tbe cabinet is being made by a firm in Clerkenwell. The Warden report that he hopes to receive sbortly a "slit-lamp" from an American visitor wbo was mucb interested in all she saw in tbe Hospital. It is satisfactory to contemplate tbe improved equipment of our Hospital and your Committee is grateful for a ll the help received in rai sing tbe standard of the Hospital to its present high leyel, but it has to be remembered that practically all these improvement carry with them the necessity of an increased outlay for annual upkeep. For instance, tbe installation of electric plant means an additional charge of ;660 for mechanic's wages alone. O PHTHALMIC

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL.

The cost of maintenance show an advance over lasL year. The increased prices of commodities are a serious item in our expencli~ure, but unfortunately unavoidable. The partial renewal of bed lmen, necessary alterations in the Sisters' quarLer and the kitchen and the painting and colour washing referred to in a previous par~grap? accou~1L for an outlay of over £175. In the pre ent year your Committee wtIl be asked to complete the renewal of the bed linen and to erect shutters to the large male ward and to do long overdue painting of ·woodwork . But the main structural \\"ork to be undertaken is the re-modelling of the drainage system including new bath and lavatory accommodation for both in and out-patients. Perhaps some kind friend would offer to defray the cost of this useful improvement in the \\"ards. . A sympathetic friend, who desire to remain anonymous, has given the Order £1 050 toward the building fund of the new annexe for , . h infectious acute conjunctiviti case. Thi is very encouraglI1g and t e Committee is deeply grateful [or this start to the fund, but no action can be taken till the neces ary sanction is received from Jerusalem to the grant by the Patriarch of the additional plot of ground. l] ntil. this .is settled the architect is unable to proceed \\'ith his plan!'> which wtJl include provision for so me 2+ paying patient on the upper noor of the building. . ' Lady Hunter-Weston has given £100 to be expended \l1 the 10rm of a memorial to Grand Prior \Villiam vVeston (1527-15+0) and to commemorate the Chancellorship of her husband, Lieut.-General ir Aylmer Hunter-Weston, R.E., K.C.B., D . . 0., ?lLP. The architect, ~1ajor Mal~rice Webb, D. s. 0., has been a ked to design a porch to the mal11 door ot the Hospital and it is hoped tbat by this means architectural dignity may be added to the fac;:ade of the building. Through Lady \Vatson' kind interest two cots have been pre!:>ented to the Hospital. These will be most u eful as there are no children's cots in tbe wards at present and the need for sucb has long been felt. Once again bas tbe donor increased the debt of gratitude which the Committee owes her for her constant devotion to the welfare of the Hospital. . ' .. The Warden is asking the Committee Lo conSider the advi abtllty of appointing a Matron to the staff. There is little doubt that a Matron i needed, but finance has to be considered. n assistant di penser and a doorkeeper are also much to be desired. It is gratifying to report tbat H. E. the Higb Commissioner- a KnighL of Grace of the Order-accompanied by H. E. Lady Plumer, a Lady of Grace, paid an official visit to the Hospital very shortly after their arrival in Jerusalem and were taken over the buildings by the Warden. They expressed tbemselves very pleased with their inspection. .. Finally your Committee would say a few words on the Cltl11C scheme. The Order undertook to be responsible for nurse at six clinics in different centres in the Holy Land. At the present moment we have been able to train and post nurses to four of them. There bave been made tw.o or tbree cbanges in tbe scbeme of a minor cbaracter, the resu lt of expenence. The centres bave been visited twice in tbe past year by the Warden wbo was able to send a satisfactory report on all be saw. One change in tbe centres will be of interest to members of the Order. Acre is now one of our clinics, and thus after a lapse of 735 years the Order

once more find's itself established in its last crusading stronghold in the Holy Land. In addition to tbose already mentioned witb gratitude for tbeir gift your Committee would offer its tbanks to tbe Great Priory of tbe Order of the Temple of England and Wales for its continued support, to the Dean and Chapter of Rochester, to the Wardens of Bath Abbey, to A. E. Franklin, Esq., to J. Horne Stevenson, Esq., M.B.E., K.C., for bis work as Hon. Secrelary for Scotland, to Lady Wat on, the Hon. Treasurer in Jerusalem, for ber labour of love and for her most sati factory sub cription list, and to Miss A. Mooring Aldridge for eye bandages, woven by herself. To those Overseas members of the Order, tbe A 'soc iatiol1 and tbe Brigade \\-'bo do not forget the work done by tbe Order in Palestine and strive to rouse interest in tbat work by collecting funds in their several Districts in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa pecial tbanks are again due. Tbose respon ' ible for the Hospitaller work in tbe Holy Land v\'elcome gratefully this practical interest in tbeir ambition to maintain tbat work at the highest level of usefulne!:> and efficiency and would be glad of a stil l wider ](nowJedge and appreciation of wbat the Order is doing in its ancient home. I n conclusion it i a pleasure to express to tbe staff in Jerusalem tbe thank,; Lbey deserve for their hard work and de\"ution to duty. The Committee in saying that it feels the prestige of tbe Order is safe in their hand ' can gi"e the \Varden and his colleagues and bis staff both Britisb and yrian no higher eulogy." COMPARATIVE

of the Cardiff Education Committee glad ly agreed to the boys and g irls attending the Training Schools being taught first aid and home nursing and t h e lectures, vol un tarily undertaken by OfEcers of the City of Cardiff Centre, were greatly appreciated. Realising the helpful influence of this training the authorities made a monetary grant to the Priory to enable these young people to be enrolled in the junior section of the Brigade. The increasing number of competitions held each year in the various Centres has fostered a friendly spirit of rivalry. Eighteen n \V trophies, g iven by various supporters of the Priory' work, were vested in the Trustee during the year. In addition to the variolls entre contest, competitions for the" LIandinam " shield and" Arthur riITIth femorial" cup were held in Cardiff on the 18th .\pril. Great enthllsia~m prevails at th is annual event as the winning team in the ambulance and nursing contests represents the Priory in the competitions held in London for the . , Dewar" shield and" Perrott" cup re ' pcctively. Last year this hon our was secured by the Duffryn Amman t am and the LIanclly nursing team. t the request of the authorities, the Priory \Va respon sible for the ambulance competitions at the Royal National Eisteddfod of \ i\Tales held at Pwllheli in Augu s t last. The principal awards were the" Lady Bute "and "Lady Lewis" cups of the Priory, and thes_ were won by the Ferndale team and the Kenflg lIill nursing team respectively . The Bangor team of th e London, ~lidland and cottish Railway was successful in the competition for the" 1\lr ' . K. L. Buckley" cup, held on the same occasion . :\t th e annual \Velsh Railway s ambulance competition for the" Harry \Vebb " challengc cup, held on }'Iay 6th, the Great Western Railway Company cntered 11\'C teams and the London, Midland and Scottish Railway three. The \'ictorious e\\'port (Dock Street) G. R. team secured a brilliant success. The motor ambulance is an essential factor of modern road transport, and the public in most of the \ Vel h counties are now familiar with the black and white ambulance of the Priory. The demand increases with the growing road traffic, and while we are endeavouring- to cope with every need we are at the same time improving the standard of ambulance transport. The service has also increased in popularity among the Colliery and Works owners in vVales. There are n0W forty-four Colliery Companies subscribing at the rate of one hilling per annum per man employed. Th e scheme for the affiliation of Workm n's Lodge is also making splendid progress. Ten more Lodges agreed last year to join, making the total number forty-four. The aggregate membership of these L odges is 16,000. These men are contributing at the rate of one penny per man per week in consideration of which they are entitled to call upon an ambulance for themselves or any member of their households at any time of the day or night, free of charge . This scheme has proved of great benefit to those w ith limited means and has prevented untold suffer ing among the sick and injured. During 1925, 3,149 cases were carried an d the total mileage for the twelve months was 59,545. Satisfactory d evelopm ents have taken place in regard to the Hom Service Ambu lance cars in Wales. Towards the end of 1924 the Home Service Committee appointed a Welsh Committee, equally repre _entative of th e Priory and the British Red Cross Society, to consider their distribution and control. Several meetings have been held, an d a proportion

of these ambulances h ave been taken over by the Priory. The following recommendations of the Priory for admission to the Order have been approved by H. R. H. the Grand Prior and the ChapterGeneral and sanctioned by His Maje ty the King :-

In June, 1925, the St. J obn Orthopcedic Clinic in Victoria Park, Swansea, admini tered by the Priory at the reque t of the Ministry of Pensions, wa clo ed. early four thousand cases received treatment at this In titution, and the total number of treatments gi\'en during the period of its e tabli hment was 93 1+8. Towards the end f 1924, however, the number of ex-service men requiring these services gradually decreased and it \Va. c\'entually decided to arrange for its closing. The various county and borough centre and sub-di tricts continue to report teady progress in all di rections. During the past year the Library Committe has ontinued the scheme of decoration in the Chapter H~II, which had MUSEU M. been placed under its , upervi ion. The blazoning of the shields of the Grand Priors of England on the oak panelling is no\\' complete, the s even stone hield over the fireplace and entrance door have been painted in their heraldic tinctures, tablet!-. of gilded copper bearing the arms of the two English Grand lasters Gilbert d'A." ailly and Garnier de N ablous have been placed on each ide of the fireplace, and new electric light fittings have b een in talled both in the Chapter Hall and the Council Chamber. To complete the original cheme of decoration adopted for the Chapter Hall, there remain only the blank shields in the lantern and windows to be filled with ~tained glas. In the Library small tablets bearing names and arm s of the past Librarians have been placed over the fireplace. I n the Church bronze tablet have been placed in the stalls in the choir, allotted by the Rector for the use of the Executive Officers . The preparation of the War lemorial Book has been placed under the supervision of the Library Committee. The work has been entrusted to Mr. Douglas Cockerill, and will contain the names of the 922 members of the Order, of the St. John Ambulance ociation and Brigade, and of its Territorial Branch, who fell in the war. The book will ultimately stand on a special lectern in the Priory Church. As regards the literary work of the Library Committee, the task of transcribing Cotton MS . Nero E. VI., which was placed in the able hands of Miss Ethel Stokes some years ago, is now complete. The original MS. which is the Cartulary of the Order in 1442, is in the British Museum. The transcript is now in our Library, where it can be consulted.

MUSE U \!.

Steps are being taken t.o obtain a photographic facsimile of what is perhaps the mo~t important historic document in existence concerning the Tongue of England. This is a MS. in the Public Library at Valletta, generally referred to as 'I the Book of Assemblies . " It is the minute book of the Tongue from the loss of Rhodes until its practical dissolution, the full title being" Liher in quo continentur deliberationes Venerabiles Linguae Angliae" or "the Book of Assemblies, by me Turcopolier Fr. William Weston de die 10 de Julio 1523, and shall please God." The Library Committee ha brought out the second of its historical pamphlets, Kay's translation of Caoursin's Siege of Rhodes, which ha ' long been unobtainable. The pres ent edition has been edited by Mr. H. W. Fincham the As s istant Librarian, who has modernised the spelling, but has otherwise left the text practically unchanged. It is illustrated with photographs of the wood cut~ in the DIm edition of 1496, now in our Museum. Copies of thi pamphlet can be obtained by Members of the Order on application to the Assistant Librarian. The past year has een many additions to the Order's Library and Museum. .\mongst the more important purchases are : (1) A portrait of the famous Leo Strozzi, Grand Prior of Capua and General of the Galleys. The artist and date of the picture are ~like unknow.n, but it bears a very clos e re emblance to the portrait 111 the troZZI Gallery, l'lorence. Leo Strozzi was born in 151 S, and at 21 years of age was Grand Prior of Capua and Ca ptain of the Galleys of the Order. He afterwards entered the French s ervice, and became one of lhe mo~t famou sea-captain ' of hi s a g e. Returning to the Convent he deSigned Fort st. Elmo, commanded the expedition against Zoara, was again appointed General of the Galleys, and confidently ~xpe_c_ted to .be elected Grand Master on the death of John d ' Homed e 111 1.),)3. Bitterly disappoil:ted by the el ection of Claude de la Sengle, he left Malta ancl the followll1g year was mortally wounded in an attack on arlino. (2) A copy of Boyssat's Histoire des Chevaliers de 1' Ordre de 1: Hopit~1 de St.. Jean de J er~salem. This is the fir t edition, pubhshed 111 Lyons 111 1612. ThiS book once belonged to King Louis XIV, and has his arms on the cover. (3) A large collection of documents of the latter half of the 18th century, forming part of the rchives of the Grand Priory of Toulouse. Amongst them is a letter signed by the Bailiff John Tomma i di Cortona, afterwards Grand l\Iaster 1802-1805. (~) A co.llection o.f 12~ casts of se~ls from the Archives Nationale , Pans .? ThiS collecbon IS of great Importance, comprising seals, of the 1 ~th century onward , of the Grand lasters and other eminent brethr.en, and of the Convent, Priorie and Commanderie of the Order BeSides these mo:-e important purchases, the Library Committee has als? secured a conSiderable number of books, prints, coins and other rehc~, and once more it must express its indebtedness to Major H. A. Balb i, M . B . E., who has devoted so much time and energy to research work for the Order. As in past yea:s the Library Committee has to report the receipt of many g,enerous gifts; amongst these the more important are : (1) fhe badge and star of H.R.H. Prince Henry of Battenberg,

Knight of Justice, presented by H. R. H. Princess Beatrice, Lady of Justice. (2) A full length portrait of the [amou Grand Prior of England, Sir Thomas Docv,Tra, the rival of L'I Ie dam for j he Grand M astership. Thi portrait is inspired by the well known print, and wa painted and pr sen ted by Edward Caruana Dingli, of lalta, a Knight of Grace Magistrale of the Sovereign Order, and a Knight of Grace of our own Order.

For some years past the No.1 (1 rince of \Vales's) District of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, \\-bich operates in the COMMITTEE. Metropolitan and City Police areas, has been in receipt of an incom e derived from the proceeds of Sunday cinematograph entertainments, having been recognised as a charity under the regulations of the London County Council. For yarious rea ons it was con idered desirable that the Order should become the Charity under the London County Council, and the consent of 1 o. 1 District having been obtained, the Chapter-General of the Order passed a resolution to that efTect. An undertaking was ho\vever given that as o. 1 District had reached a much as £500 in a year as contributions rect:'ived while it wa the approved Charity, the Order would look upon this sum as a first charge on its receipts from its newly constituted Cinema Fund, provided the receipts were sufficient to meet the charge in anyone year . A separate Cinema Fund Executive Committee was established to deal with tbis subject, but as the receipts amounted to less than £500 its duti s for the period under review have been confined to the receiving of moneys from contributors and the passing over of money as grants to No. 1 District. The accounts will be found on page 46.

REPORT OF THE CIL\PTER-GEI ER1\L.

'elL.

The following is extracted from the last published report of the Joint Council of the Order and the British Red Cross Society :E 1ERGEN 'Y HELP FUND.-More than 19,000 new case~ were assisted during 192+. The total grants approved for this work from the commencement of the cheme to the 31 st March, 1925, amount to £551 J 900, and the present average monthly expenditure approaches £10,000. Although there has been a reduction in the grants to cases during the past few months, the Committee point out that it is at present uncertain whether thi ' will be maintained, as the need for relief in connection with War di abilities cannot be altogether disassociated from the general industrial distress. Owing to the lapse of time since the Armistice, all applications for assistance demand the most thorough im'estigation, but, even so, the admini trative expenses continue to be lo\y, owing to the very considerable voluntary help given by our representatives throughout the country. The voluntary refund of advances by those men and wido\vs assisted and who have succeeded in their claims to pension, continues to be a most satisfactory feature of the Scheme; no less than £21,682 was refunded during the past year, making a total of over £58,000 received since the inception of the cheme. Al\IBULAN E SERYl E.-During the year 26 new ambulance stations were established and the Council has now 3+1 Motor Ambulance tations working throughout the country. In addition 33 locally provided tations have been affiliated to the sen-ice, making a total of 374 tations at work. 70,323 patients \yere moyec1 during the twelve months, and the total number since the service was set up is 29+,415. The public continues to show increasing appreciation of the service which has become an important link in the improvement of the health of the community. TL'BER 'LosIs.-During the year this Committee have very fully considered their policy and for various reasons et out in their report they are not prepared at pre ent to make any further grants towards Tuberculosis Colony Schemes. The Home for ex-Officers suffering from advanced tuberculosis established by the Committee ha met a very real need and is doing a great deal for the comfort and happiness of its patients. The Committ e are considering in co-operation with kindred organisations the question of establishing a Central Agency to help exService men's workshops (and in particular those dealing ,vith tubercular patients) to dispose of their manufactures and to ad\·i. e them on the type of goods to make. In the last Annual Report reference was made to the establi hment at Scio House, Putney Heath, of a home for ex-Officers suffering from advanced tuberculosi. The Home has now been completely equipped and structurally altered for its purpose. cio House provides accommodation for five patients in the large ward, two in the mall \\'ard, and nine in single beds in the new annexe, a total of sixteen. A shelter has been erected in the garden, which during the summer months can be occupied by a patient, bringing the total accommodation available up to seventeen. Accommodation for two orderlies ha been made by altering two of the lofts in the buildings adjoining the gardener's cottage. A small ~nnexe giving storage accommodation for boxes, lavatory accom· modatlOn and a sink for the disposal of sputum, has been added on the

north- east side of the build ing, and o ne of the g lassh ouses has been converted into a workshop for those patients who are ab le to am use themselves with light carpentry work .

The nurses have shown the greatest keennes and have been most zealou and energetic in carrying out their duties, Their efficiency ha ranged from the h ighest point of the fully trained and certified nurse to a somewhat less degree of those who are still under training. The Chief Officer of the t. John Ambulance Brigade on the spot has been Captain Gerhold, and of the British Red Cross Society, Captain Lowe. Both were keen and regardless of trouble, so long as they could make their work go smoothly and succe sfully. They were, on their months of duty, alway accessible and pleasant to deal with and have contributed no small part to the success of the Order and Society in tackling the work they had undertaken. The work of the member has been watched and timulated by frequent visits of Major-General ir Percival Wilkinson, K . c. 1. G., Colonel Ewen Cameron, c.:-.1. G., D. ~ . 0., and Lady Perrott, of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, and of ir Arthur tanley, G.B . E., C.B., :\f.V.O., and Brig.General H. Bateman Champain, C. :\LG., and Lady Oliver, D.B.E., and Irs. Langley, of the Briti!->h Red Cross Society. The care and upkeep of the am bulances ha!-> been under the supervision of Major Paget, Briti. h Red ro Soci ty. "Treasure Island" had a first aid tent manned by the St. Jobn Ambulance Brigade and run at tbe expense of the Brigade. The lighter ca. e ,,'ere treated there and the more serious ca ' es were sent to the Main Ambulance tation. 813 ca es 'were treated out of the total of 16,134."

The following is extracted from the report of the enior Medical Officer of the Exhibition:- " The medical T HE BRITISH arrangement for tbe Exhibition during the ummer of EMPI RE 1925 were modelled on those of 1924, but on a somewhat EXHIBITION. reduced scale, attained by the experience gained in 1924. The medical facilities from the commencement of the 1925 Exhibition were :-Main Ambulance Station, North mbulance tation, Stadium Ambulance Station, 7 First Aid Cabinets cattered through the grounds, 2 Motor Ambulances, + \Vheeled Stretcher. At the North Ambulance Station were two beds for temporary accommodation of patient. At the :Main Ambulance Station were twelve bed in two wards (men and women) for the temporary accommodation of patient. Tho e patients who were too ill to procee I home without assistance ,,-ere taken to their railway tation (local or main line) or to the bu stand by motor ambulance .

Tho e attached to the Main Ambulance tation frequently travelled by ambulances with patients too seriously ill to be left to the care of friends. All the various duties have been carried out by men who were most zealous and painstaking, many of whom had given up time to do this work, taken not from their usual work but from the hours of rest and recreation. The work is honorary except for a small sum to payout of pocket expenses and has been carried out cheerfully and efficiently. The two ambulances and a small car, also all drug and dressings have been supplied by the O rder and the Society.

The Director of the Ambulance Department and the Ambulance Committee of the Order have th honour to submit the following report of the work of the t. John Ambulance Association for the information of His Royal Highness the Grand Prior and the Chapter General. During the year there has been a considerable increase INSTRUCTION. in the number of classes of instruction formed and examined, with a resultant but less considerable increase in the number of certi(icat s issued. There has also been an increase in the number of re-examinations held and awards is ued. Thi gratifying expansion of the work 11a been most appar nt on the Railways, where the work of the Association has been carried on with the customary vigour of the Railway Centres; in H.~I. Prisons and Borstal Institutions, where instructional clas e in fir t aid arc r gular features; in the Metropolitan and City Police and in the County and Borough Police Forces, where the larger number of " refr' her" cour es has been particularly gratifying. The number of classes in the mining areas has been satisfactory, especially when the state of the industry is taken into consideration. CIa ses continue to be held in various parts of the country for crews of fishing fleets and arrang m 'nts have been made with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution for the training of members of Life Boat crews in fir t aid in places where tho e crews are not in touch with Divisions of the t. John Ambulance Brigade. The instruction of members of the Mercantil Marine is well maintained, and examiners for Mercantile ew Marine purposes have b en appointed in all the principal ports. ground has been broken overseas, notably on the Beira, Mashonaland and Rhodesian Railways, in outh vVest Africa, in Coomassie, Gold Coa t Colony (where cbs e not only in first aid but also in hygiene and sanitation have been held), and at Baghdad, where fforts are being made to extend the work to other parts of ~Iesopotamia. Through tIl medium of Centres and detached classe at home and oversea the As ociation ha issued during the year 9,222 medallions, 20,99 2 labels and 2,778 pendants, in each case an increa e on the figures for last year and a total increase of 2,755 awards. The number of certificates issued in England, Ireland and Wales during the year is as follows :21,3 2 5 6, 16 3 1,059

CONFERENCE OF OVERSEAS REPRESE TATIVES.

ST. JOHN A~IBULA CE ASSOCIATION.

A conference of representatives of centres of the Association and of Districts of the Brigade Overseas was held at St. John's Gate on 23rd June, the Secretary-General of the Order presiding. Unfortunately very few overseas members were in London at the time, and only four representatives from India and one from Australia were able to attend.

CONFERENCE OF

D~ring the year the various sections of the

London. . MIdland and cottish Railway, and of the Southern Ra~lway, have been amalgamated as the London, Midland and Scottish RaIlway,. and the Southern Railway Centres, respectively; th four ~ectIOns of the London and North-Eastern Railway continue to functIOn as separate centres. centre of the Association has be n formed at Bournem~uth and that at the Polytechnic, Regent Str t, Lon~o?-, has been revIve~ .. Many. of the larger centres are in a flourishing condItIon, notably those III rndu~tnal areas such as Birmingham, Liv rpool Mancheste~ and Sheffield. Owmg to the expansion of the work in th Cape Provlllce, South Africa, it has been found necessary to establish Gngualand West as a separate centre and its formation wa approv d durrng the year. There has been a noticeable increase of activity in most of the Overseas centres, and the C ntral Councils for South Africa, New Zealand and Australia are doing much useful work. CENTRES.

The competition for ungrouped railways wa held at St. J oh?-'s Gate ~n 24th April, the judge being r. COMPE~ITION. . W. C. RIgby of Adlmgton. Four railways enter d tams, the wrnners berng the London, "M idland and cotti h and Great \Ve tern Joint Railway, which qualified to compete in the final \;\,rith the following:

REPRESENTAT1VES FROM OVERSEAS.

It was suggested at the conference of members from Overseas that lantern slides illustrating the history of the Order of St. John would be of great value and interest overseas. By the kind permission of ir. H. W. Fincham, the Assistant Librarian of the Order, his lecture on the History of the Order has been adapted for general use, and copies of his lantern slides illustrating the lecture have been prepared; these are available for hire or sale. A number of overseas centres have already expressed their gratification and have ordered sets. Lantern slides illustrating the work of the Association and the Brigade are being prepared.

EXHIBITION, 1925.

Criticism of the badge of the Association which has been in use during the last few years having been frequently expressed on all sides, it was decided during the year to rev rt to the original badge, namely, that which appears on the cover of thi report. BADCE OF THE ASSOCIATION.

The official demonstrator of the Association, 1\1r. C. Hanmer, has given practical first aid exhibitions and EXHIBITIONS. lantern lectures during the year in all parts of the country. He has also been able to make greater use of cinema halls in which to show the various films of the Association, thus bringing before a wider public the work of the Association and the Brigade. A new film entitled "St. John Cameos-Past and Present" has been produced, and is very largely the work of Mr. Hanmer. The film has been very well received in all parts of the country.

With a view to reaching those who would not otherwise come in contact with the work of the Order and its departments, leaflets and pamphlets have been drawn up.

As in the p~evious year the Association again supplied drugs, dressmgs, etc., for the Exhibition at Wembley.

By the generous gift of a well-wisher the Association has been able to offer assistance to those of its centres DEPOTS. desirous of establishing medical comforts depots in their areas. It was decided that a depot can be equipped in the first instance for a sum of £3 0 , and centres are asked to provide half the cost or half the equipment, the remaining half being provided from the Stores Department. The same facilities have been offered to divisions of the St. John Ambulance Brigade and twenty-eight centres or divisions have taken advantage of this offer. MEDICAL

The total of classes was 648, being an increase of twenty-nine over the previous year, while the number instructed (11,488) was an increase of 403. There has been a great extension of the work among the juniors.

The senior trophy competition continues to attract an ever increasing number of entries, and for the Provincial trophy shields competitions in seven of the Provinces were organised. The competitions of 1925 concluded the series for the" Wallace Nesbitt" junior first aid trophy, based upon the presentation of gold awards by the Hon. \Vallace Nesbitt, K.C. to each member of the winning team in the several Provincial competitions. The executive had the pleasure of announcing last year that the honorary president had donated a trophy in lieu of t.he individual gold awards, which he designated the "Wallace Nesbitt (Junior) First Aid Championship." This unique and handsome example of the highest art of the silversmith is offered for competition in 1926, and the executive will present to each member of the winning teams in the .several Provincial preliminary competitions a silver award, and bronze awards to the team taking second place in each Province. \Vith a full appreciation of the benefits accruing from the study of home nursing, and realising that a stimulus \vould be given to the girls of Canada t.o study the subject, the president, Colonell\1urray 1\lacLaren, C.M .G . , M.D., M.P., has donated an appropriately designed and legantly wrought shield, which is offered for annual competition among teams of junior.

Many of my officers during the year have made vi its and attended meetings with a view to encouraging enrolm nt m the V.A.D., and while their efforts have borne fruit, th number of Detach~ents formed and the personnel enrolled has not come up to expectatIOns. Un~ke the Royal Naval Auxiliary Sick Berth Reserve, and the Military HospItals R eserve, the Voluntary Aid Detachments as such are not under the~r own superior officers, and I can only attribute this cause as the mam one accountable for the apathy which in some cases is apparent so far as V.A.D.'s are concerned.

I have again to report that the finances of the Brigade on the whole are sound. More Divisions are taking advantage of the regulations which permi~ t~cm to hold flag days under c~rtain conditions. There is in some dIstncts a reluctance to allow a pOr~lO? of the money collected on flag days to le~ve th.e county, and the lImIted number of flag days is chiefly due to thIS feelmg. FINANCE.

I have much pleasure in drawing your attention to the continued unselfish zeal and energy displayed by all ranks in furthering by every means in their power the' obj~cts of the ~rigade, and to the invaluable service rendered by the MedIcal professlO~ ..

I amglad again to report that incr asing nlllnb 'rs f 111 'mDers ' "1Il the hospItals. oftlle B' ngad e a 11 over t1ll' country are wor1 .;:mg In London there is a further increase of U\'Cf two hundred attendance as compar d with 1921. ::\Iembers ~till continne their attendance at the following hospital : ::\Iiddle ex; H.oyal Free; ,t. Mary .\bbott; t. Mary's for \Vomen and Children, Plai"tuw; St. James, Balhiul1; and the Childrens' Home, Plaistow. \Yc havc added two more ho. pitals to those already mentioned wherc members att 'nd rcgularly, namlly the \Yillesdon General and the Ken ..ington, Fulham, and Chelsea Generdl, and further requests are from timc to time r cei\'ed from other hospitals. I hear from all quarters how greatly appreciated is the good c1isciplin' and con cientiousness of the members in their worl". During the year m'mbers have also gi,'en help at the Elizabeth Garr ,tt .\nder')on Hospital. In addition to the hospitals many member~ are working in di pensarie . I should like especially to mention the work done by the' Brigad member at the Eastern Dispensary whcre they h<l\'e attended ~ince 1!H1, without ever breaking the continuity of their service, and in the Annual H.eport of this dispen ary I see special referencc is madc to the cxcellence of thc work of the Brigade Officers and Mcmbers thcre. It certainly mu t facilitate the work of the disp nsary to have this regular aU ndance from the Brigade. I should also like to refer to the splendid work being done by Miss 100re at the Middlesex Hospital, and the band of members who have so faithfully worked there for several years. HOSPITAlS.

The fourth competition for the Perrott Shield was a very important event in the history of the Brigade owing to the fact that Her Majesty the Queen presented the Shield and prizes. This is the second time Her Majesty has presented the Dewar 0hield, which together vvith the Railway Shield she presented before the \Var. It was a THE PERROTT SHIELD.

RJ ~PORT OF TIlE LADY SUPERINTENDENT-IN CHI!:.F.

matter of the greatest pride to all the mcmbers of the ~rigade to have the very great honour of receiving their prizes and the hleld from the hands of her most Gracious Maj esty . . ' The fact that the Matron in Chief of the Army, MISS Hodgl11s, R.R.C., most kindly consented to assist us by acting as one of the judges for the Nursing Competition together with. ¥iss Cochranc, R.R.C., Matron of Charing Cro. s Hospital, was an acldltlOnal pleasurc. . . The competition resulted in a .dra."v between NO '.l Dlstnc~ Ha~p~t~ad Nursing Division, anrl No. 11 DIstnct, London Bndge ursl11g D.Iv.Is~on, both teams gaining 352§ marks. It was arranged that these DIVISlQnS should holel the Shield for six months each . Lady District Superintendent No. l District, Mr . T;vee~ale~ J.P., A.R.I<.. C, together with Lady Di trict Superintend nt No . 8 DIstnct, l\Ir . Falwas. er, took charge of the general arrangements on the day a~d mo t of the other Lady Di trict uperintend~nts and La.dy DIstnct Offic rs were on duty. I mu t expre. s my grahtude for thcIr loyal and effici 'nt help . • 11 the members of the taff and all the teams much appreciated the splcndiu hospitality of the Order in entcrtaini?g thcfl:1 at upper on the night before the competition, and it was a dehghtfull11novahon to have ' ix Girl adcts from the diffcr nt parts of England amongst our guests. I feel I !lould like in clo. ing my report just to refer to the wonderful work being uon by the membec of thc Prince of \Yale District: The way they are always rcauy to ~un: out and undertake c\~ery kl11d of public duty at tb ~hortest notice IS a most wonderful tnb.ute to the strength of thc Brigadc. I hay been much struck by the. effiClency ?f. all thc Officers and mcmbers of thc District, and their enthUSIasm and willIng devotion to the se[\'ice of the Brigade. It has been another very happy year, and a more efficient and delightful ' taff to work with than arc the Lady District uperintendents and Lady Di triet Officers all over the country it would be impossible to imagine. I have the honour to bc, Sir, Your obedient servant, ETHEL PERROTT, Lady uperintendent in Chief.

At the clos of the Competition for the Osborn Shield, the veteran D?nor of the Shield, Dr. Sam Osborn, a former District Surgeon, presented the ShIeld to the winning Team . On St. John 's Day a number of Officers of this District. under District Offic~r S. B.

The Officers' Annual Dinner was held on Saturday, October 31st, at the Abercorn Rooms, Liverpool Street H otel The Commissioner presided. A number of distinguished guests were present , including l\Iujor General Sir Perceval ·\ \,ilkinson and Lady \Vilkinson, Lady Perrott. R.R.C., olonel E. A. and ::\1rs. Cameron. About 160 Officers and friends spent a very enjoyable evening. The arrangements were ably carried out by District Officers Captain L. L. I'ranks and Captain W . G. Goodley, 1\1.C. The Area scheme has now been running for three years, and has proved of great benefit to th District. The scheme has enabled the Assistant Commissioners to get mlo more direct communication with their individual Divisions than was pOSSIble whcn dealing with the District as a single unit .

All the DIVI ions, Ambulance and "ursing, in the Area, have been separately ITl."pected and a my Staff Officers having always accompanied me and know exactly ho\v I Itke them conducted. they will be able in the future to as 1St me very much by IUspectmg ome of them alone. I conducted eleven out of the h\'cntv-two re-exammations mvse1£, so as to know exactly the condition of their Flr-;t Aid and" Home Nursing imo\vledge ", and I am pleased to report that it is very good indeed. There is still room for improvement in some Divisions in the way in whi.ch stretcher drill is done, and Artificial Respiration performed. I think from the reports that you have received of the Divisional Inspections that you will agree th at thc \ Y . Area of your District is carrying out very thoroughly their Brigade Duties. One adet ~ur ing Division (\\'embley) has been registered during the year and three V.A.D.s .

On the other hand, there are many, who not only conduct the routine work satisfactorily, but have also organized the social side of their Divisions and ha"e held a large number of entertainm nts, which have been much appreciated.

The dinner of the Slough Division is unique by reason of its being a joint one with the local Detachment of the British Reel Cross Society, which testifies to the fric!ldly co-operation which exists between the Brigade ard that Society in Slough.

SIR, I ha\'e the honour to s' lb111 1t my R eport for the year 1925 on the work of the Bngaclc in the COllnty o[ Gloucester. At the close of the year there were 16 Ambul a n ce anll 2 Nursing Diyi5ions, with a total personnel of 689. The work has gone on 'v ery steadily without any outstanding events to mar progress. Corps ancl Di\'15ions arc maintaining a good standard of efficiency and numbers arc slIghtly lllcreasi ng. The "\cting Chief Commissioncr inspected the Bristol Corps and expressed himself well satisfied with the work. IIe presented a number of Long Service Medals, whIch shows that the enthusiasm of the older members still exists. A vcry considerable amount of public duty has been done during the year and the Ambulance Services at Bristol and Cheltenham are very satisfactory. The f ollowlDg is an extract from the report of the Bristol Corps : " The s tabstics below give very tanO"i ble testimony to the splendid work that is b eing clone by the Corps. Present day conditions are 'uch that the provision of SYstematized ambulance arrangements are a vital neces ity, and the Commltt'ce venture to think that our efforts effectivelv meet this need. The new Car referred to III the last Report has been in running for some time, and still further improvements in the Transport arrangements are in contemplation with the view of improving the efficiency and comfort of the cars. \\'ith the increasing number of very serious street accidents that have now to be dealt with the need is more and more urgent for perfect vehiclcs, and everything will be done in this direction If the necessary funds are forthcoming. \\,ith the ever-increasing calls upon our serv ices t.he proviSion for ordinary wear and tear even is a \'ery serious item, so the Committee again appeal to the pu1:::lic for its generous financial support.

THE ACTING CHIEF COMMISSIONER.

5th June, 1926 .

SIR,

I have the honour to report that the Brigade made very satisfactory progress in 1925 , two new Ambulance Divisions (Minehead and Bridgwater) having been formed , and the older Divisions have maintained their strength and activity. The outstanding event in the history of the Brigade in Somerset was your visit to \Yec;ton-super-illare and Minehcad; such an honour had never before been glven to the county. In connection WIth H .M. the King 's visit to Bristol on 9th June, by the courtesy of th.e .\ ssistant Commissioner for Gloucestershire, detachments from Bath City Ambul a n ce and Bath ursing Divisions, and \Veston-super-Mare Ambulance Division, did duty with. the Bristol Corps. An mteresti ng event was the handing over to the Bridgwater Ambulance Division of a :'Iotor Ambulance 'Sagon . Impect.ions took place on the following dates : (By yourself.) We t.on-super -:'lare. A. & . Divns. 21 - 7- 25 (Byrne.) ::'IIld omer :::\orton. A. 6- 11 - 25 ;'lmehe:1.d . A. 14-12-25 Bath. A. & T 29-12-25 West.on -supe r-:'lare (G.\\'.R) A. 30- 12-25 \Yith regard to the personnel of the Brigade, I am quite satisfied that their sense of the lmportance of th eir work and their devotion to duty remains at a very high standard I regret to report the loss of two Divisional Surgeons, viz. Miss A. H . Driver and J . Paxton, the former through death, the latter through resignation on leaving the to\\'U Both served m \Veston-super-Mare. I amure that 1926 will see at least one more Division added to the strength of omerset I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, ARTHUR J. CARY, Lieut.-Col., ssistant Commissioner for Somersetshire. CO I TY Ol~ WILTSHIRE. c/o \ V. D . & H. O. \VILLS, COLBOURNE STREET, SWINDON. 29th January, 1926 . TIlE ClIIEF CO~IMISSIO?'IER, LO""Do .. DEAR IR, I beg to submit my Report for the year ending 1925 and am plea ed to state that the Ambulance movement hows signs of improvement in \Viltshire. During this year a new DIv1sion has been started at Malmesbury and much keenness is shown by the memb rs in that town. lasses are being held under instruction of the Divlsional Surgeon which will result in several more men joining the Division. The Swindon Division is still doing good work and is called upon daily for Public Duty, and the services of the' men are highly appreciated. Since the commencement of this year :l\Iessrs. shers Brewery, Trowbridge, have started a Division under the charge of Supt Holgate Smith, late of the Canterbury Division, and I hope to forward you the necessary forms for Registration very hortly. There is also a good chance of a Divi ion being formed later on in the Badminton District, classes for which are to start very shortly. It is still difficult to get in touch with the proper people in the various towns in Wiltshire owing to the distance and awkward situation of most of them from Swindon, and I still hope it will be possible for a taff Officer to vi it ome of them later on and find out what prospects there are of starting the movement in them, as I mentioned in my last Report. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, A. R . TOWERZEY, Assistant Commissioner for \Vilts.

ortllamptonshire were continuous three-clay and in some cases six-day duties at a H ospital Carnival and T agea nt , a Trades Exhibition, Municipal Flower Show, 1\Iilitary Tourname nts, H ospital Sports, in addition to numerous one-day duties at other vents of minor importance. \Y cekly attendances have also been made at bot.h Association and Rugby Football matches during the season. Leicestcrshire can show a somewhat similar list of most u:;e[ul public duties performed in which val uable first aiel services have been rendered on numerous occasions, and nursIng a n d transport services satisfactonly carried out. Close co·operation With the c1V1l authorities has been maintained in all services rendered. The Torthampt.on, \\'ellingborough, and Kettering Corps again rendered public duties at " 'embley. In-,pect ions of all I ivislQns hav been held at various places in the District, t o whic h t.he public have b en specially invited. The inspection of the Leicester Corps which was attendecl by the l\Iayor and :'Iayoress of Leicester was very satisfactory, and t.he opportunity was taken of placing a ::'IIemorial \Yreath on the Town and County \Yar ~I emonal, in memory of fallen members of the Brigade. I was also much lmpres,;ecl by the mspection of the .l Torth Leiceter Corps at Church Cresley, which was h let on a Sunday. and mostly colliers were on parade. .\n exccll nt Church Parade was held on the same day in connection with it. The joint mspections of the Xorthampton and \Yellingborough Corps, at St. Andrew's Uospital. ~orthampton, on 25th July, 1925, was also made the occasion for the \Yar Office Y.\.D. Inspcction and was a pecwlly noticeable affair from t.1l' public point of view, and "\ ry commendable press notices appeared. Nea.rly -l00 members of all ranks were on parade. and with the addition of five of the ounty Ambulances mad an imposing and spectacular review. t ev'ry m-,pection a really splendid display of efficiency of all ranks has been observable new Nur,;;in~ D1"\ i510n has been formed at Irchester and has been heartily welcomed hy t.he \\ ellingborough Corp,;. The following 1 hVlsions are to be congratulated on an increase in members : Jl mbu/wlcc: Peterborough, \\'a nsford . );orthampton Headquarters , Bedford, LOl1ghbofOUgh, Luton, \\'ellmgborough H eadquarters, Leicester City, Leicester Gre'tt ntral.

Represent.atIves o[ the Brigade are engaged in many of the largest works. The Transport work has been carried out satisfactorily. Reports received show that good work is being done throughout the District. Two new Ambulances have been stationed in .L Torthamptollshne under the Home Service Ambulan ce Comnllttec. The total number of i\Iotor Ambulances now a\'ailable in this County which are undcr the control of nits of the Brigade is 10 . Cadets. both boys and girls, are very keen, and K orthampton and E:ettering are to be congratulated on their increase in number during the year. The V.A.D.s are steadily increasing, and a few are awaiting registration . I wish to express my appreClatIve thanks to all ranks for their valued assistance and co-operation. T

SIR,

I have the honour to present my report for the year ending JIst. D 'C mber, 19~5, .T:v.o Ambul an~e a nd two Nursmg J?i:,~sions have been formed and onc ursmg Dlv lslOn reorgalllzed . One Cadet DI\'lSlOn has also been registerec1. The year has been one of progress, both in t.he Ambulance and urslllg- U1v1<,lons as the ?-umbers in each di\:ision .h~,,:e been l~creased by a total of 126 Thc p~rsonncl T IS as fo11o\\'s:- ursmg DIVISlOllS: Officers 0, Ambulance SIst.crs -135, total 515. Ambu.la nce Divi~ions: Officers 143 , N ... O.s 195 , Ptes. 1, 17-1, total 1,5 12, makmg 2,02? m all. ThIS does not include the DIstrict Staff. The efflclcncy of t.hc members has . Improved, as was very plainly seen m t.he keenness of the CompetltlOns held durmg the year. A member of the Foleshill and Longford DivislOn has been awarded the certLficate of the R oyal Humane Society ior saving t.he life of a chi ld from the ovcntry Canal. The number of volunteers for duty at \Vcmbley was well mainlall1cd as was the case m 1924, the full personnel being obtained. . The members of the Birmingham .C.O.s' Club paid a visit to the .C.O.s' Club m London and I understand they had a very enj oyable time. The" Dewar" Shield came once again to :t\ o. 3 Distnct t.his year, t.he winning team bemg from \Yolverhampton. vYhTen H .R.H: the Prince of W ales visitcd Birmingham for the purpose of opening the v\ ar Memonal, the men were eager t.o t.urn out for duty, no less t.han 100 paraded for thIS purpose. Brigade D ays J:ave been held by. many Divisions and have proved vc ry successful, finanCIally, ShOWlllg that the l?ubhc III general appreciat.e the work of the Bngade. The usual A~nual. In~pectlOns have ~een held during the year. The Lady Supenntendent-lll-.Chief lllspected ~he Birmlllgham Nursing Corps and Colonel Moore, DeputJ:'-Chief CommlsslOner, lllsp~cted the Birmingham Corps at Birmingham an.d the \Varwlckshlre Corps, together WIth some of the DiVIsions, of South StaffordshIre, at Tamworth, where the Wolverhampton Team gave a display of First Aid work.

16th ::'Iarch, 1926. SIR,

I am now ill a. position t o prcsent to you my Annua.l Report. as COmn1.l~SlOner in charg of ~o . 4 District , SL John m.bulance Bngade, covenng the. penod 1st January to 31 st D ecember , 1925. . As an opening rcmark, I feel I am just.ified in stating that I do not. consIder th.at I have ver been 111 a stronger position witb regard to the presentatlOn of a sahsfact.ory and cncouraging stat.ement. . One IS obliged to refer t.o thc influence of the Great \Yar on volunt3:r y o.rga~l1z~ tion , and it is very true that the Brigade Organization, so far as thIS DI tnct IS concerned, markedly s1.1ficr ed from the apathy and sluggishness prod~ced by the long stram of the war years expenenced by those who were on ac~ive serVIce, and ~lso by thosc who were working strenuoLl ' ly at home. ~ feel that thl~ ~epressmg penod, if not entircly passed away , has ceased t.o exerClse a con trammg and a~verse influence on the recruiting of the Brigade. There is in evide~ce ,. more deslf~ ~o take up the work and to prosecute it with energy and determmahon, and tl~)S IS a very encouraging factor to all those who are desirous to see our great and natlOnal work as rcnderers of First id, expand and prosper. . I will now deal with the posiLion of o. 4 District during the period under .re.v~ew. There was no disbanding of units, and I fe el that the obliterating of feeble DIvlslOns in 1924 rclievcd the District from further disbandment. I trust it will be some time b efore the same drastic action, as exercised in 1924, will be necessary.

There can be no denying this. berause it very frequently occurs that mothers will bring their lit.tle girls along to Cadet Headquarters and ask that they may bc takcn on and t.raincd. would here like to say a few words with reference to the organization of Voluntarv AId Detachments. All t.he V.A.D.s in t.his arca have been recruit.eel from th-e ursing nits, nonc having been formed from the Ambulance Di\ isions.

drawn from Birkdale, Southport, Chorley, Blacl'poo], Adlington, Lancaster, Lytham and St. nnes. Jine Stations were organized under the Acting Corps Superintendent ~Iajor T. H. C. Derham. Cadets were used for conveying me sages, and a .th~ Princess. was leaving the Royal Infirmary, the carriage drive from the main bUlldmgs wa hned by members of the Jursing Divisions. The Units of the Brigade in Preston always work in the greatest harmony with the Police, and the Chief Constable expressed his indebtedness for the assIstance given. ~n ~he 16th December, Princess l\Iary visited Liverpool to inaugurate the begmnmg of the work connected with the !\Ier ey Tunnel, and on the day following she w as at Birkenhead to launch a ship. On both the e occasions the requisite ambulance duty was undertaken by the Officers and members of the Liverpool and Birkenhead Corps. The Royal Agricultural Society of England held its meeting at hester from the 3rd to 11th of July. The Secretary of the Society communicated with mc and asked me to make the neces ary arrangements for equipping the Ambulance Station, together with the providing of personnel both male and female. I got in touch with Dr. Russell, the Divisional Superintendent, Chester DiVIsion, who undertook the provision of material and Ambulance Details. This duty was admIrably carried out, Dr. Ru ssell rcceiving considerable assistance from Dl\.'lslOnal Superintendent Tapson, D.C. 1., Dukinfield and Stalybridge Divi 'ion. Dr. :\leredith Young, and other medical men. ~Iiss Dickson (Lady Dlvision?l Supenntendent, hester ursing Division), had charge of the Ambulance Sisters. These ladies rendered splendid service. The whole duty was excellently arranged and carried out, and the fact tbat 328 cases were att ndecl to is a strong indlcation of the necesst ty and value of this work. Iiss and ~Ir . Illingworth, of hest.er, were very consplcuoUS in helping, and Mis Illingworth had charge and drove the l-lotor Ambulance which was on duty each day. On the Rth July , accompanied by . SSlst.ant Commlssioner C. H. Fowler-Jones, I inspected the Ambulance St.ations and other .\mbulance details, and I came away quite satisfied that Dr. Russell and t.llos' assoClated WIth him, had organized and carried out very comprehen 'l"ely all that was necessary . Ambulance Duty was undertaken by the Lancaster and Moreca mbe Dl\' lSlOns on the occasion of the meeting of the Royal Lancashire Agncultural Socie ty's Show on the 30th and 31st July and 1st and 3rd ugust. The Show was held at Lancaster and I took occasion to visit the Ambulance Tent and al 0 to lfispect all the arrangements made for the rendering of First Aid. I am quite certain from \Vhat I saw, that everything was well and satisfactori ly done. The Secretary of the Soclety wTote thanking me for the efficient performance of thi~ duty. On the 14th June I had the pleasure of inspedmg the Di"ision. of the Brigade located in the Fylde area of the County of LancashIre . . \SSl~tant ommlSSJoner \Yoodcock, M .B.E., accompanied me, and the i\layor of Lytham t . ~\nne'j kll1dly attended and addressed the parade after the Inspection, which was held at -t .\nne 'son-the-Sea. There were 281 of all ranks present . Pnor to the InspectlOn, the Units attended Church. Under the command of Assistant Commissioner Pim, the South-East Lancashire Corps and Divisions paraded for inspection at Todmorden on the 20th June. Kearly 2,000 of all ranks were present. You, Slr, as Actmg Chief Commissioner, Inspected this parade. At Bollington on the 11th July, the Cheshire Vnits \Vcr inspected by me as Commissioner, o. 4 District. The parade state showed 4..J.l men and women. Assistant Commissioner Fowler-Jones was in command. On the 19th December I was invited to open the Great Harwood Drill Hall. Thi ~ is a substantial wooden building, well equipped for its purpo'ie. The fact of havmg this accommodation will greatly assist the Gnits at Great Harwood towards efficiency. Concerning all the above events I have sent you special reports, fully detailing the circumstances in each case. The Annual Conference of this District was held on the invitation of the Preston Corps at Preston on the 17th October. You, Sir, as Secretary-General of the Order, were present and addressed the meeting. There was a large attendance of the District Staff and a total of over 1, 100 delegates (Officers and other ranks) were present. The Mayor of Preston, accompanied by the Mayore:is, welcomed the Conference to Preston. These are large and somewhat unwieldly gatherings, and perhaps do not commend themselves to everybody, but I am very strongly of

opmlOn that the cementing influence created by meeting each other, goes a long way towards building up a very friendly feeling amongst a ll ranks. The exchanging of opinions must be of considerable value, and to my personal knowledge these opinions are frequently given and taken. The Officers of the Preston Corps entertained a number of guests to luncheon. Amongst these were the members of the District Staff attending Conference. V'ole are fortunate in o. 4 District in possessing a great number of valuable trophies. These are competed for annually. The organizing and carrying out of these competitions creates a good deal of important work. It is very wonderful how keenly these tests are entered into. My opinion grows in the direction of feeling that there is a great value attached to these contests, and so long as the rules governing them are guarded so as to prevent the same individuals taking part for a number of years in the same team, the value of thE' training leading up to the final test, becomes more comprehensive by the introduction of new competitors each year. I record as briefly as possible these competitions, giving dates of same and ·winners. " Dewar" Preliminary: Held 11th April; won by elson Corpe;. "Perrott" Preliminary: H eld 4th April; won by Liverpool ursing Division. "Argenta," Cup: Held 27th June; won by Cre·we. "~Iolloy" Police Cup: Held 24th October; won by Isle of 11an Police . "Laird" Trophy: Held 21st Xovember; won by Duklllfielcl ursing. "\\'hiHaker" Cup: Held 21st 1 ovember; won by Crewe, CompetitIOns amongst Nllrswg Units, organized and carried out by Lady District Superintendent 1\1rs. Tweedale, A.R.R.C, J.P., were as follows :-" Charles J , Trimble" Shield: \V on by Liverpool. "Howard" Rose Bowl: \Von by Liverpool. " Lytham " \ 'a'ie (Individual): \Von by l-[iss Archer, Blackpool.

"The Lees " Cup: \Von by Chesham (Bury). A new aclet Band has been organized at Rochdale through the generosity of ;'lrs . Tweedale, her relati,'es and some of her pcrsonal friends. The boys are now under trall1ing and the serVlces of an Army Bandmaster have been obtained. At pre. ent there are about 15 instrumen.ts in the Band. I look with some interest to this de\! lopmcnt. During 1.11 year, acting on in truct.ions received from Headquarters, I proceeded to mak arrangements with the \'arious Lifeboat Stati on s . ituated along the coast of 1 o . . J. District., to enable co-operatlOn between the local ambulance unit (where one exists) and the lifeboat service whenever necessity demanded the boat to be called out. These arrangements have now been completed and a report has already been furnished to Headquarters. I now come to the end of my report for the year 192-, and in looking back I can say 'wJthou t hesitatlOn thC1t the year under review has been an exceedingly successful one. The work of the Brigade has been seriously and acti\'ely pursued and with a considerable amonnt of success, and I would like to say definitely that this success is entirely due to the capable and unstinted efforts of the members of the District Staff. 0 man occupying a voluntary position can be better served than I am by those who are as ociated with me on the Staff of this area. I am most grateful to them for their loyalty and I shall always be indebted to them for their willingness to help at all times and under all circumstances . My obligation to all the Officers and members of both Ambulance and Nursing Uni.ts are equally pronounced and I would here like to say how much I thank them for their splendid services to the Brigadc and loyalty to the Order of St. John. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, CHARLES J. TRIMBLE, Colonel, • Knight of Grace of the Order of St. J ohn of Jerusalem. THE ACTI G CHIEF COMMISSIONER, ST.

I beg to submit a short report for No.5 District for the year ended 31st December, 1925 . The year has been, in every way, one of distinct progress both as regards efficiency and numbers . The reports of Medical Officers speak as to efficiency and. the fact of the formation of 29 New Divisions denotes advancement in numbers. These new Divisions are distributed over the whole of the District and the members are keen to live up to the efficient state of their ncighbours.

DISTRI CT .

The District now comprises 30 Corps, 195 Ambulance Divisions, 101 Nursi?-g Divisions, and 26 Cadet Divisions, and is working ·well under the system of Counties and Areas each in charge of an Assistant Commissioner. The numerical strength is as follows : 28 District Staff . 11 Corps Surgeons 76 Corps Officers 235 Divisional Surgeons 140 Divisional Superintendents 73 Lady Divisional Superintendent.s 163 Ambulance Officers 117 Lady Nursing Orflcers . 6,331 Ambulance N . .O.s and :\Ien 1,627 Ambulance Sisters 534 Cadets. 9,335 Nolwli.hst.anding the areat care by Area Ole's to ehminate all but efficient memb rs, It has only be;n necessary to disband thre~ divis~ons. \Yitb deep rcO'rct I have to record the loss to the Dlstnct 111 the death of : °Corps Sllpenntendenl E B.

AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

The number of" ase "in which" I'irst Aid" has been renclered is difficult to ascertain, but typical of the District is the case of one Corps with a record o£ over 2,000 cases for the , -ear and one ursing Division with 1,326 cases. For duty at \Vembley the District supplied its full quota and I received an excellent report on the 'w ork of our several detachments. I wish to expre s my thanks to the members o£ my Staff for their marked loyalty and support, and thmugh them to all ranks in this J ic;trict for the enormous amount of work done during the year. I am most grateful to all for their help.

Sir, I ha\'e the honour to report lhal during lhe pasl year the increased interest and kcennc s, alluded lo oy the late Dr. Riley in lhe Report for 192+, appears to have bel'n maintained. Public duties have been carried ouL as in pa 1 year al the Annual Floral Fete at ' hI' '\\'sbury, and al lhe Shropshire and \\'est ~lidland how, and the work of the Di\ isions has bCl' n much apprcciaLecl. ' e\'eral member,> fr0111 I'\o. \ TIl Dislrict attended at \\'embley. and were much impn: ·sed. Their atte ndance tlwre on Public Duty helped lhem lo realise the impol"t<ll1Ct' of th e ir membership of lhe great organisation of the l. John Amhulance Bri!..("adl" and \\'ill, I hope, bear fruit in increased energy and efficiency. The lll'rdord Di\'i ion is, I understand) making goc.d progre s . As the late Dr. Rill'y' took a greal interest in this Division and de\ otecl a greal deal of time and car' to it, I trusl il will continue to do so. ::\0 effort \\,ill be wanting on my part to el1sur' it s sue e'>s. TIll' Ilan\\'ood ::\ur ing- Divi ion is in process of being re-formed successfully. The fLlllowing report wa rec ived [rom lhe Ironbridge Nursing Division :" "\ :\fedical (ll11forts Oepol in conn e ction wilh lhe abo \' e division was publicly opened in 0:0\' . 192+. The cost of lhe depot wa defrayed b y donations collL'cleli by the Lady , upt. Since lhe opening of this depot, 82 articles h2,ve becn loaned out al a sm a ll [ce and the \'alue of theil' usefulness is much appreciaL'd by lhe people of lhe neighbourhood. " This Sl' 'ms an exa mple that mighl well be [ollowed by olher :'-lursing Divi ion. It would sen'e tl) keep regularly befor > the public the usefulness of the St. John .\m bulan 'e Brigade . . \ good many teams compeled for the Dislrict I'\ursing Challenge Shield.

Their work w a also good. The lamenled death of the . \ ssi lant Commissioner, Dr. Riley will be severely fell in lhe District. IIis 10 is regretted by all who w ere brought in contact with him, and his work i much appreciated, nol lhe leasl by myself, who have lhe honour of being appoinled his succes or. In conclusion, I can only say that I have formed the impression thal No. , TIl District, though only a small one, is efficient, and lhat every effort will be made by me lo maintain, and 0 far a possible to forward the w ork of the Brigade in this District. I have the honour lo be, Yo ur obedienl sen'a n t, ARTHUR R . F. EXHA;\I, l\l ajo r, Hon. Associate of lhe Ord e r . .\ s i lant Commissioner, County or Sa1c1 p.

The following new Units have been formed during the year :-Herne Bay Ambulance, ity of Eochestcr Nun;ing, hatham ursing. Gravesend Nursing, 1aidstone adcts. The formation of the Hcrne Bay Division was materially assisted by George Cursons, Esq., M.B.E., J .P., whose entbusiasm and support bave been invaluable. On 23rd August., J 92;'), I attended a Dedication Service for a new :M otor Ambulance presented by t.he Home Servicc Ambulance Committce to the town. There werc sevcral men and ambulance sisters on parade from the I-Iernc Bay Division and neighbouring units. The 1\Iayor, at my rcquest, presented several Long Service 1\Iedals, and promised on behalf of the Borough to do all in t.heir power to support and encourage our valuable and public spirited work. I am pleased to report t.hat this Uni t. is doing good work and the 1\1otor Ambulance is busily engaged. 1\1r. Cursons is 'itill taking an active interest in t.hc welfarc of the Division.

Trullsport.-This cont.inues to be t.he principal activity of my District, and on all hands I hear of t.he excellence of the work donc-work which is more and more appreclat.ed by the local aut.horities, police, and public. An important point is the celerit.y with 'which accident caBs are attended to-which has in many cases been the subject of approval in thc Press. I would like to specially mention the followmg UnIt.s as doing thoroughly efficient transport work, viz. Guildford, :\Iaidst.one, Relgate, Redhill, Gravcsend, Herne Bay. ::\Iany other Ul1lts are domg good work and I have every reason to believe that all the t.ransport. work in my District is efficIent. My Dlst.rict. again provided the personnel for the Summer Camp at Norman's Bay, Pe\'ens T- I received a leiter of appreciation from the Camp Commandant, wlt.h a cheque for Dlst.rIct Funds. ChUJch Parade.-The annual Church Parade for Kent units was held at illaidstone on 20t.h September. There were 44-! of all ranks from my District on parade, t.ogether WIth a larg' number from No. XI District, through t.he kind permission of 'ornmissioner H.Ichards . The total strength ",as between 700 and 800. The parade was 111 charge of :'Iajor ~oble, Assistant Commissioner for Kent. Lady DI<;trict. Superintendent Mrs. Falwasser was in charge of I ursing Lnits. The ~layor and CorporatIOn attend d t.he Church Sen'ice and were present at the tea aft.erwards, toget.her wit.h the Ylcar of :\Iaid. tone (who preach d the sermon), the churchwardens, and organi~t . The collection \vas gn'cn t.o our Hospital at Jerusalem. I \\ as unfort.unat.ely prevented by illness from inspecting this parade. but l\Iajor Noble report.ed very fa\'ourably upon the dress, discipline, and smartness of all ranks. These annual church parades for Kent are sen' ing a very useful purpose, and I should Illw to see this idea adopted by the other counties in my District. .L

CompclitioJ/s . -The st.andard attained and the interest shown in these events are a cause of satisfactIOn t.o m , and I think they react favourably upon the efficiency of my District. It. is a dlfticult matter to arrange tests of the standard now required for Brigade competit.ions and I appreciate very much the skill and devotion of those medical men who ha\'e assisted me. Judging is a thankless task-besides the loss incurred by leaving their professional work-and I am sure the 'whole of my Distnct wIll as ' ociate themsel\'es with me in putting on record our very high appreclat.ion of t.heir \'aluable services. The Earl and Ccuntess of Onslow again invited us to hold the Surrey County Compet.itions at Clandon Park, and generously entertained us to lunch and tea. \Ve appreciat.e very highly the continued interest of Lord and Lady Onslow in our work in Surr y.

Cadets and I-.A .D.-The adet movcment Gntl lhe V.A .D. scheme arc not being taken up with the enthusiasm I should like Lo sec in my District. The laU er is possibly the remains of "war-wearines "and p 'rhaps in some cases owing to a sense of dis atisfaction at the treatment they received during til war. I am sure, however, that if, un[ortunat ly, the need Jor their services should again arise, wc should have no difI1culty in answering any call made upon us . During the year my District experienced a great 10<;s in the untimely dealh of Brigadier-Gcneral E. A. Tudor-Tudor, c.["'I.G. (Hon. S(~rving Broth r), the c\ ssist ant Commi sioner for Surrey. His keen 1I1tcr 5t in the work of the Bngade \nth his unfailipg tact and conrte y endeareel him to all ranks, and he ha<; left an example to us all, by dcvoting so much of his well-earned leisure upon leaving the Army to thc help of sullering humanity. E. LP. I havc to record with regret that owmg to the sLat., of his health aptain Covcnt~)Il (Knight of Grace) was oblig d to re. ign his position as Assistant ommlSSI ner lor Sussex and transfcr to the Brigade Reserve. IIe very kindly at my urgent request consented to retain his office of District Treasurer. Capt. Coventon has given very many years' service to the I3rigade, lias rendered me loyal and unfailing help at all times, proved himself a keen and efhclent administrator, and at the arne time earned the re'>pect and afledion of all ranks. "\\'e hopc that he may be spared for many years to assist us wi Lh his ripe 'xpen~n.Lc. In conclusion I would like to place on record my appreciatIOn 01 the unfalh ng loyalty and unstintecl help which I have receivecl hom my Staff. \\ Ithout tll ·i r help it would be impossiblc for me to " carryon ", ami J fully recogl11ze tha.t. any improvement noted in my Di trict is duc to their keen interest and hard work. I would also like to thank all ranks in my J IstricL for their unselJish work clunng tIll' year, and to express the hope that they will more and morc re ognlze the ncce~sltJ for keeping them elves absolutely eHicie-nt, so that they may kec·p worthy of til ' great trust put in them by all sections of the commuTiity.

THE

No. IX.

T. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

Inspectiolls.-The Deputy Chici ommissioner (Colonel C. A. :;\[oorc, c.:II.G., D.S.O., 1II .D.) honoured the Corps and Divisions in Plymouth and the sUlTounding di tricts by specially coming down to carry out their combi.ned Annual Inspection. The huge Territorial Drill Hall-the largest hall in the West of England-"vas crowded. Colonel C. 1. Ellis inspected the Torquay Ambulance DiviSion just prior to his retiTement, and all other units wcre visited by me. I desire to record, with deep appreciation, how cordial was the reception I receiyecl from all ranks. llIotor A1nbulallce Services.-\\'ith the appalling increase in the number of road casualties, and the ever-growing use being m8de of ambulance services by IIospital s for Out-Patient and X-Ray, etc., there has been a much greater dcmand for motor transport. Brigade members staffed :\Jotor Ambulances (owneel elt.her by th(' Association, Brigade, H.S.A.C., or a ~lunicipality) at Exeter (2), Plymouth (5), Torquay, 1 ewton Abbot, Launceston, and Torpoint. It is hoped that, before, cry 10nO", satisfactory arrangements will be completed for St.. John Ambulance men to staff the Home Ambulance Service cars at Eingsbridge and Paignton and the l ' rban District Council Car at Exmouth. An application has be(,n recommended by the Order to the Joint Council for a motor at Totnes \\her(' the neeclls urgent. Bldeforcl is also considering the institution of an ambulance sen'ic('. The follo\\,lllg figures are the motor transport calls dealt with by t. John ..\ mbulance "orkers uneler my command : Exeter, 754; Plymouth, 7,099; Plymouth (Crippi<'cl ' hildren regu];lr passengers), 10,699; Torquay, 426; e",ton bbol, 55: Launcestoll , lO:~, and Torpoint, 84. Thus making a grand total of: U:,),220 ambulance patJcnls and crippled children passengers. In addition to the foreguing many removals by hand litters were carried out at shburton, Dawli;;h, Teignmouth, and ~alta;;h. Public Duties.-I have pleasure in reportIng t.hat in several areas t.here has been an increased public recognition of the value of haVing :Brigade members 111 attcnclanLl' at both indoor and outdoor engagements. The t.""0 most Important County DutIl'S (which were harmoniously shared w11.h the Bntlsh Reel. Cross :Ol.lety) "ere at Bradfield on the occasion of th~ Premier ';; V]Slt and at l\:I1lniU/l Wlll'Jl :\fr Uo\,d George launched his Land Campaign at the great open-air clemonstrat.lon of \\ ~ s L Country Liberals. An important branch of public dut.y In Exeter , PI) month, Launceston, and Torpoint is the attendance of ambulancc perS()1l111'I at " 'cry ou tbreak of fire in case of accident or illness. A valuable PIl'CC of work ,,-as ul1(iertakell by the Mutley Division during Summer we k-ends. This unit organized arnblll:ln( e cyclist patrols on certain very busy Dartmoor roach. Nursing Divisions.-'Vith the exception of two nnits (Exeter ancl Babbacombe St. Mary Church) all the Devon hire ursing J ivi<;ions are no", oll1cially T"ccogl11zl'd as St. John V.A.D.s or Sections under the ew War Ofhce Scheme for sllpplcmcnt.ll1g the personnel of the Medical and Nursing Services of H . ~l. Forcc:i in case of emergency. A pleasing feature during the year has been the transfer of three nursing cadets at Ford-who joined the Juvenile :=-'Iovement almost immediately after Its Inception -to the senior Division on attaining the age of 1 :\lay these be but the 11rstfruits of an .. abundant harvest" from the patient. sowing of the Cadet Officers . Some Nursing Divisions in Devon have been exccedmgly actIve ; others secm tll bc but little used. Among the work undertaken has been :- (1) Frequent public duty in co-operation with ambulance men; (2) regular hospital \ 'ork, onc dIviSion having made 205 attendances; (3) Accompanying female patlCnt.s on long Journeys : Lady Corps Officer J. Abbott, of the Borough of Plymouth Corps, pnvalely undertook the care of a SIck lady during a journey right across Europe from Devonshire to Greece; (4) Daily attendance on crippled children n edlng ambulanc removal to and from country schools; (5) Attendance at surgIcal operatIOns 111 private houses and generally assisting District Nurses and others in canng for the sick poor. The total number of cases of First Aid and ursing dealt with by nursing personnel was 581. Help of St. John Ambulance Association.-In conclusion I desire to pay tribute t o all the sympathy and practical support shown by the Devon County Centre of the St. John Ambulance Association both at these Headquarters and in the towns where Section Committees have been set up. 'Vi thout the help given by way of education, propaganda and finance, much of the excellent progress recordedmore especially in new areas-would be impossible.

THE ACTING CHIEF CO?llMISSIO~ER.

SIR,

I have the honour to submit to you my Annual R epo rt of thIs o. 10 DIstrict of the Brigade for 1925 . I. <l:m ~lad to state that in the area r eferred to tIl re has b een a much greater ~Cbvlty 111 th~ Ambulance world, .a~d. as ~ result I ha\'e to report a considerable lUcrease both 111 t~e numbers of DlvlslOns in the District as well as an increase 111 the numbers of eXlstin.g Divisions both NLlrsing and Ambulance. Suffoll~ has made s ~ndes and as a result of the aCi.lvity and energy of the County ComIDlsslOner . a~d hiS. hard-working staff, I am pleased to rep ort the formation of four new DIvlslOns 111 the County. In Iorfolk, where a few years back we had but one small but efficient Dh:i ion at Cromer, we have no\v five. E~s ex has been handicapped by the absence of an energetic County Commissioner but 111 the ~ew Year I hope to have. this vacancy filled, and I have great hopes that the res.uI.t .wIll be that next year I wIll be .a~le to point to increases in the personnel and. J?lvl~lons .there also. However, as it IS I can report th e addition of one new DIvlslOn m tlllS County. Her~fo~d is als? taking on a new lease of life and the reports I have from the County Co.mmlsslO11er ale all .of a very favourable character and point to more interest bemg taJ:en g~nerally 111 the work of the Brigade. ~ambndge is the one blot in the District. I have been unable so far to find a SUltable man to organize the work in that County. I wish I could, for lhere is a large

121

DI ST IH CT.

field there lying fallow, that if it could be looked after by an energetic man would blosso m hand somely . But there is the difficulty in flllding the right and suitable man . Th ursing Divisions in the Di strict are few in numbers, but from what r have c.;cen they arc very keen and 1 must add fflcicnt. The V.A.D. movement in the district is not so satisfactory as I would wish. For some reason in the Eastern Counties it has not been taken up very keenly, the reaso n is not easy to place, but the war experiences are still a memory and will remain so till a new generatIOn comes along, when I hope t o see a renewal of interest in V.A.D. maHer. There arc L\\,() outstanding events in the lJistrict that I must refer to. Firstly l o th' death of flIISS 1lary Coulcher, Lady of Grace of the Order. She was a tower of strength tc the Brigade in Suffolk, and will be greatly missed. Her funeral was attended by almost every man and women in the Brigade in uniform in the Borough. lL W LtS a last tribute to one who had worked nobly and ceasel(;ssly for th~ Ambulance cause I n the County. The second ·was the honour you personally conferred on the Corps by coming to 1pswich to mspect us. A las rain spoiled an outdoor parade, but the Drill Hall lcnt by the Territorial Assoclation (hd xc ellently although a little crowded with 237 on parade, men, women, and cadets, by far the majority from the Ipswich Corps. Therr! wcre 43 apologles for absence. At the same time you openecl the New illedical Comforts Depot. I here draw yo ur attention t() the good work of the County Commissioner, Dr. S. O. Eades, and 1115 slaff To the former thanks arc due for his energies hoth personally and financtally, for he has personally guaranteed the first year's rent. It is to him alone and his slaff that the depot came into e:ostence. In his report on the work done, he slates: "The 11rst quarter's returns show that 1-6 calls have been made on \'anou . articles, all of which have been met. The severe winter has taxed the resources of this baby depot, but thanks to skilful and \'oluntary organization it has not faded to supply all demands." I might here mention that certalll articles made of porcelain althcugh suitable, are ralher !1l the natur OI luxuries, Jll so far that th yare easily broken and chipped and so become an expense to the depot for renewal '. I suggest these articles be made of while enamelled Iron, ho~pltal pattern. They cannot be broken and arc equillly useful and cost about the same. If Headquarters will ')uppl)' these with the Cross on them the same as they do the earthenware ones it \\'ould be a con\ CllICllC. to these dcpots a: well <15 an con om)'. Again, rubber bed, pillows, flng~. etc. might ha\'c thc Brigade emblem on the~ in this way they could be traced and not go astray a some do. The annual returns will gl\ e you details of our personnel. In Ips\\lch many of the .l. Tursing sisters attend the hospital, some residing in the hospital and acl1l1g as holiday reliefs for 3 months on enel. Others attend weekly at the ul-Patients ' Dcpartment, when they get xcellent training in casualties and minor operations . H.eports I ha\'c had of their knowledge and c ncluct are excellent. During the past year one of uur H. .1\.,\ .S.B.R. men passed out top of all England, Priyal' Hust, Orewell \Yorks j)lvisiol1. \Y e ha\'e 1Il additIOn 11 excellents. The illotor Transport has hali a very heavy year and both Ambulances in Ipswich hav e had a busy lune. They lla\ e travellell 10 .804 miles and moved 713 patients, entailtng \ Isits to county pari:hes III SuRolk and as far as l~eading, Yarmouth , \Ylsbeech, lTorwlch, Loweslo[t, Orpl1lgton, and London. In thc absence of one mbulance the second slands by [or local duties manned. by voluntary workers, so that we always havc one ready for emergencies. The Ambulances in other dIstricts a Cromer, Lowestoft, Colchester, and Clactoll all d.o xcellent work and are staiIed by St. J ohn men voluntary. To sum up, the District IS becom1l1g aliye and progress is being made all along the line. Finally, I desire to thank my District Staff and the various Assistant CommissiOllers and their stan for their valuable assistance and co-operation. I have the honour to remain, Sir, Your obedient servant,

30th January, 1926. SIR,

r have t.he honour to pr'~ent my report for the year ending 31st December, 1925 , and am \ ery pleased to be able t.o record that a further increase in membership has maruf -sleel It.self. From a small nucleus in 1920, oyer a thousand members have been added to the roll uf thc BrIgade in six years, and its usefulness has been largely exknded in areas in Will h thc aci.I\'lties of the BrIgade" ere hitherto almost unknown. The Bricklayer's .\rms Team again reprcsented the District in the Dewar Challenge ShIeld competition a11<1, although the team was not successful in repeating its success of last year in W1l111ll1g thIS trophy, It did the nex.t best thing in securing th seconcl posit.ion. On the olherllancl, the London Bridge i\ur ' ing DiYISlOn Team which was successful In s(,CUrIng tll ' second position 111 last year's competition, succeeded in tying with the lIampst.eacl .lTursmg Division Team for premier honours. This Division was only formed in August, El~l, and its continued success in the Perrott Shield CompetillOn is endel1cc of goud leadership and efficiency. i\ successful feature of the) ear \\'as a Re\'jew preceded by a Ronte :\Iarch, which took place at the Royal MilIt.ary College, amberley, by kind permission of l\Iajor Ceneral Corkcran, C.B., C.I\I.G., ,,-ho placed the grounds at the disposal of the ])1 VISions for the \yhole afternoon. This review was held in conj unction with varIOUS ])l"\'i..;ions from os.~, 8, and 11 Districts, the members of the Divisions afterwarch partaking of tea tog -t.her. A church parade was also held at St. Peter' , Eaton Square. 650 members of the Di \'lSlOns ,,'ere inspectecl by Lieut.-Col. J. 1'. \\' oolridge Perowne. I have the material to enable me to write a long report in regard to the activities of the DiviSIOns throughout the year, but I feel that the work of the Railway Ambulance Divisions is so well known and respected that it is unnecessary for me to weary you with detail in this respect. I must make one ex.ception, however, and that is in relation to the work performed in connection with "[he pilgrimages to Lourdes. Th se pilgrimages have to be seen to be believed. Suffice to say that thousands have to pass over the, outhern Railway Company's system on their way to this shrine (many of them seriously ill), but on no occasion has there been failure to

I beg t o submit my R eport of ou~ work for the y~ar 1925 . The general rrlciency of all TIlts has been qUlte up to the standard desired, and the work undertaken has been excellently performed. On 15th April, we received an unofficial but. "cry wel~0f!1e visit froI? MajorGeneral Sir Percival \\'ilkinson, the Acting ChlCf Commlssloner, who Inspected a contingent formed of r epresentatives fn?m all Divisions at the Brigade Hall, a?-d gave a brief but helpful address, and SIr Thomas Molony, the. last Lord Cluef Ju stice of Ireland, in a tOllching speech,. bade us farewell on hIS d.eparture from lrelancl. 11. is hoped that thIS absence wdl be only temporary, as SIr Thomas has for long been a good friend and active supporter of the Brigade in 1.I:-e. ~ree State. Our new Bngade H all at Strand Street has proved a great acqUlsIhon, and has enabled us 1.n centralize practically all our teaching there, al~hough the Le~ture 1~oo1l1 at 40, ~Ierri()n Square, is also in constant use. The H all IS used every l11ght, and each JJj,'ision so using it has ib regular night of meeting each 'week. l\lany functions, Concerts, Theatricals, Dances, hildren's Parties, etc., have been held there With great success, the litUe removable stage with its black curtains and St. John Cross, malong a stnking and effective background. The Hall IS under the management of a Committee formed of the Superintendents under the Chalflnan"hip of District GIEc r A . :L\I Fullerton: 1.o.wI:-om "ve. owe a very great d 'al for his constant and ever ready help aT~cl adVIce ~n Its eqUlp,ment and establishment. A Trust De d is beIng drawn up, WIth the aSSIstance of SIr Thomas ~1()lony, Bart., and when this is completed, we will have the satisfaction of kno:ving that e\ crylhing has been done to establi 'h our Headquarters on sound busmess I Illes . The results of the efforts of Lady Superintendent l\Iiss Barrington in ?rganizing and managing our \YclIare Department, have been extremely encouragmg, and I cannot praise too highly the little experiment which has produced some"what rcmarkabl' n'sults An average of 30 xpectant mothers ha,'e been fed daily for two months before their lonfinement and a month after, and their babies have been looked after, and t1lOs' \\ ho had to be wcaned were fed. Of the 79 babies born of the e poor destitute and almost starving mothers, only one died, and that one from causes quite beyond human ald. 7,~O~ l)ll1ner':i were sen'cd dunng the ycar at a cost per head of 6id. In addition to the dady dinner given at -10 , :L\lerrion Square, good soup, milk, coal, etc., were (lispensc>d . . .. . ' Th" Bngacle f\l11us bear th' c.o;;t of the CIVIlIan cases and the J omt CommIttee British R'd Cross oCldy and Order of St. John, the Ex-SerVIce cases. Th' 'Ity rirst Aid Ambulance Huts continued open ~ur.ing the year, staffed by paid OrderlIes dunng the day, and by voluntary Orderhe~ m the ~venmg and on Public Holidays.

The First Aid Hut at l\Ierrion Strand was open 111 the afternoons and evenmgs during the summer months for the benefit of the large numbers of city children who go out there 1.0 bathe and wade. It has been established in premises placed at our dis~)osal by the Pembroke Urban District Council, and is staffed by the u rsmg DIvisions . Another lIut. has been erected by the Board of \Vorles at the Fifteen Acres, Phcenix Park, for the bencfit of footballers, and has been open on Saturdays and Sundays since October, staffed in rotation by the Am,bulance Divisions.

Superintendent [rs. Rowlette, who has taken such constant trouble to make the service a success, we are largely indebted for her self-sacrifice and help in this Department a11d also in the Invalid Requisite and Stores Departments, which are functioning well. Two Comforts Depots have been established in the country, with the assistance of Grants from the Headquarters Fund, and are working well, under the control of the Taas and Bray ursing Division re pectively. It is hoped that one or two m0re may be started later on, in isolated districts. The Irish A IIIbulance Gazelle has maintained its high standard and has proved both interesting and in tructive, some excellent articles appearing. The success is due to our Editor, s istant Commi sioner olonel H,. J. Blackham , and more particularly to the untiring efforts of Lady District Ofl1cer l\hss Etleen Blandford, and Superintendent J. L. Keogh (Business l\lanager). From being a somewhat costly affair, this little paper, so much appreciat.ed, has been so well managed that last year it only cost us £10 - (l tellth of what it cost the first year. Early in the year we were asked to undertake the packing of parcel s of cloLhe by the Emergency Committee for the H.elief of Distress in the \\'est of Ireland, and for nearly five months the work was carried on by members of the Ambulance and Nursing Divisions at 40, 1\Ierrion Square. 3- Bales were despatched. In June we sent five Ambulance and three -ursing Divisions to Belfa s t , to ompd e for the" Belfast Challenge Cup" and the " Glster Red ross ' up", both of whi c h were won by ]\Iessrs. 'V. and R. Jacob & CO.'5 Ambulance lJl\' ISIOll, and the" Lorcl Mayor's Cup" which was won by the City of lJublin "\mbul a nce Uh·ision . IIeadquarters ursing Division were runners-up for the" 'L' lstcr Hed r oss Cup" for \Vomen. The teams were most hospitably entertained by our ... ' orlh crn fricnc!-, good sportsmen all. The Annual Inspection I carried out on 20th June at ~\Ierrion ' quare . There was a good turnout and the finals for our Cups took plae . The \\ mn els \\'ere a s follows : Dublin Ambulance Challenge Cup .- Jacob's No. 1 Team . Irish 'W omen's Challenge Cup.-Harcourt Nursmg ])h·is ioll . ovices' Challenge up.-Headquarters ursmg DI\ ISlOn Middleton Curtis Drill Competition. -IIarcourt Nursmg ])1\ ISlon.

Returns Shield C:\Ien).-St. James's Gate Ambulance DlvislOn (Superintendent P. J. Tyuell). Returns Shield (\Vomen) .-City of Dublin Tursmg DiVIsion (Lady Superintendent l\liss Oliphant). The Ambulance arrangements for the Royal Dublin Society's hows at Ball sbridge in May and August were organized as usual by Lady Distri ct Officer :\fr5. Shanks with efficiency and complete success . In August we sent a contingent to the British Empire E;\.hlbili on for duty at Wembley. District Ofncer A. J. Mac\Yilliam, assisted by l)l\'lslona l Superintendent H orne, had charge. I am iniormed that our men and women did th 'ir work with credit and to the entire satisfaction of the Authorities . At the Cossacks Display at Lansdowne Road, at the" Leinster 100" Motor Cycle Races, at several Fetes, and at numerous Race Meetings, our men took duty and did it well. Our Pipers' Band fulfilled a number of engagements during the year. \Vith District Officer A. J. Mac\Villiam's guidance, and under the command of Acting Superintendent A. Steele, our Band, notwithstanding many resignations, still maintains its excellence. A Swimming Section for men was formed in the early summer, and met several times at Tara Street Baths to learn swimming and life-saving methods. The attendance was not as enco uraging as I would have wished, however, and hope this year that it will improve. It is, however, satisfactory to record that the Members of the Nursing Divisions have formed a Ladies' Swimming Club. They met twice weekly at the Iveagh Baths from July to the end of the season, and the attendance was large and increasing. This year it is anticipated that a successful Session will be held.

SIR,

I have th honour to submit my report [or the year ending 31st December, 1925 . Jn comparison with recent years the Brigade Overseas shows encouraging sign of development and I hope the year 1926 will bring the Brigade Overseas up to its pre-\var strength or even higher. During the year 21 new Divisions were formed and 7 disbanded and the strength o[ the Brigade ver eas on December 31st, 1925, was : -

The second conference of O\'erseas members was called for June 23rd in accordance with the decision arrived at at the first conference the previous year and \vas held at St. John's Gate that day. I was sorry that a larger number of representatives was not able to be present as in my view these conferences can be of great interest and value both to Headquarter in England and Dominions and Colonies. Only a limited number of repre entati\'es from India and one from Australia were, however, able to attend on this occasion. On the suggestion of one of those present lantern slides illustrating- the history of the Order of SL John have been prepared with an accompanying lecture, and are now available for hire and purchase. Other matters concerning the Brigade O\'erseas discussed at the Conference have received or are receiving my attention. As foreshadowed in my la t report the revision of the General Regulations was completed during the year and copies were circulated in June. The Dre s Regulations for Ambulance Corps and Divisions are now receiving my attention and will, I hope, be circulated before the publication of thi report. The number of Service Medals of the Order issued to members of the Brigade Overseas has increased this year, 91 medals and 14 bars having been awarded. This is very satisfactory as it shows that members are more inclined to keep up their interest over a period of years than was the occasion formerly. Reports indicate that in all probability the first Cadet Divisions in the Brigade Overseas will be registered during the coming year and I would offer their parent divisions my congratulations. I appealed last year for subscriptions to the Ophthalmic Ho pital at Jerusalem and I am much gratified at the generous response to that: appeal. I am asked by the Chairman of the Hospital Committee to extend his best thanks to all those Divisions and members who forwarded subscriptions and to express the hope that they will not fail to remember this work again in 1926.

TilE ST.

JOIlI

AMBULANCE BRIGADE OVERSEAS.

With reference to the work in each Dominion or Colony I have to report that in : AUSTRALIA.-The efforts made to expand the Brigade Overseas have met with encouraging success in all Districts, 7 new Divisions having been registered during the year. In the New South \Vales District Cadet Divisions are being organi ed. The Glebe Cadet Division which will shortly be regi tered will be the first Ambulance Cadet Division in the Brigade Oversea. WEST AUSTRALIA. -The \vork of the Brigade Overseas has now gained a ~o?~ing on the \Vest Australia Government Railways and 5 Railway DlvlslOns have already been registered and others arc in process of formation. This is a very gratifying beginning and there is every prospect of still further developments. CANADA.-Two new Divisions in the Manitoba District of Canada have been formed. During the year the ervice Iedal of the Order was a\~a~ded to Sir IIenry V. lill Pellatt, C.\'.O., the Deputy Chief COtllmlSSlOner and to Dr. C. J. Copp, the Commissioner in charge of till! Ontario District. These two Officers have served the Brig-ade Overseas long and faithfully and have well earned this a\\'ard. ~EYLON.-4S Service Medals were Poh~e Corps which fact te tifies to

issued to members of the 'eylon their efficiency. The ~orp'i slill contll1ues to show good progres and the membership has now increased to 1,082. Several cases where excellent fir t aid ha been the means of saving li~e ar~ reported by the orps; and it is gratifying to note that the Testtmonlal on Vellum of the Royal Humane ociely has been awarded to two members during the year. ~IBRALTAR.- There is not much room for development here and Bngade Overseas work is still confined to the members of the ~ivil Police Division, who attend public duty and carry out their duties very efficiently.

Ho ?" ~o G.. --:- ~he wor~ in Hong Kong is progre sing favourably. The eXlstll1g DlvlslOns are ll1crea ing in strength and 2 new Division have been formed (although not yet registered). On many occasion' th~ members of the District have proved their worth on public duty but t~lS year the work per~orn:-ed on the occasion of the Po Hing Fong dlsaster stands out. Thls dlsaster which occasioned the loss of 75 lives was the scene of heroic and devoted work by the members of the Brigade Overseas and the Life-Saving Medal of the Order has been awarded to Assistant Commis~ioner E. Ralphs and Private Ghalim Ali Hyder. A full report of the disaster and the excellent work of the District on that occasion appeared in the November issue of F£rst Aid.

REPORT OF TIlE CIllEF COMMISSIONER.

INDIA.-The Brigade Overseas in India has sustained a severe loss in consequence of the departure from India of Sir Frederick Whyte, K. c. S. 1., the Deputy Chief Commissioner, and I thank him for the work he has done for the Brigade Overseas during his term of office. Sir Henry MoncriefT Smith, c. 1. E., has kindly accepted the vacancy caused by Sir Frederick vVhyte's retirement and I welcome him heartily, and feel sure that under bis leadership the Brigade Overseas in India will maintain its efficiency. The work of the various Corps and Divisions has been carried on satisfactorily during the year and a large amount of public duty has been performed at many important functions. MALTA.-The progress of our work here is steady. NEW ZEALA),'D.-Matters are progressing favourably and all Districts show an increase in activity and strength and the formation and projected formation of new Divisions indicates a renewed interest in the work. I regret to have to record the re. ignation of Major W. Fleming, the .\ssi lant ommissioner for the Otago District, but I am glad to say that the vacancy has been filled by Colonel W. Strong to whom I extend a warm welcome. OUTH AFRTC'A.-I am pleased to report that St. John Ambulance work is being established in Rhodesia and the South vVest Mandate Territory and it is hoped that before long these \\'ill be acti,'e Districts of the Brigade Overseas. The efficiency and well-being of units within the ~ape Pro,-ince and outh African Railways and Harbours Districts continues to increase and my thanks are due to the Officers in charge for thei r work. The atal and Orange Free State Districts are showing sign-; of a revival of intere t and to the former goes the honour of having form d the first Cadet Nursing Division to be registered in the Brigade Overseas. The Transvaal District which owing to various circumstances has been dormant for a period is making eyery effort to return to a state of acti\'ity. The L t Johannesburg Nursing Division ha been formed and the .\ssistant Commissioner, Colonel Brennan, hopes to form others in the near future. Almost the entire personnel of the Brigade O\'erseas in outh Africa is now in uniform and this is cau ing members to take a keener intere_t in their work. The visit of H. R. H. The Prince of Wales to outh Africa gave the Divisions many opportunities for public duty and letter have been received testifying to the completeness and efficiency of the first aid arrangements during the Royal vi it. The Deputy Chief Commissioner, Dr. Bennie Hewat, undertook a tour of inspection which started on the 19th September and did not finish until 13th October during which time he and District Officer C. G. Dowthwaite tra\'elled over 3,500 miles. During this tour Dr. Bennie Hewat was able to inspect many Divisions and his visit has been a great encouragement to the Divisions with which he came into contact and my thanks are clue to him for undertaking such a task. I wish to tender my best thanks to irs. Lancelot Dent, A. R. R. c., the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief of the Brigade Overseas, for the work she

IR,

I have the honour to submit my report for the Nursing Divisions of the Brigade Overseas for the year ending 31st December, 1925. On the whole the work of the Nursing Divisions has progressed very favourably during the past year. The follo\ving ladies have been appointed Lady District Superintendents in New Zealand :-Miss Whyte, l\t. B., to the Otago District, and Miss Platts-Mills, M. B., to the Wellinglon District. I am very glad to welcome them as Senior Officers and fully appreciate the great assistance that they will be able to render to the Brigade Overseas. New Divisions have heen formed in Canada (Manitoba), Australia (Mosman), New Zealand (Ash burton) and South Africa (J ohannesburg). I feel convinced that the interest and zeal shown by the Officers and members will be the means of developing very efficient Divisions. The first Nursing Division of the Cadets of the Brigade Overseas has been registered in Durban. I congratulate them on their enterprise and enlhusiasm and hope their good example will quickly be followed by all the other Dominions. I hear on all side that the high standard of work i being worthily maintained; this can only be done by the patient and thoughtful supervi"ion of the Officers combined with the loyal support and co-operation of all the members. I am glad to be able to thank all my Officers and members for their \\' rk in the pasl and to express the hope that this coming year will bring forth even greater en rgy than the past. I am hoping to vi it Canada this spring to inspect the Nursing Divisions lhroughout the Dominion; thi . \vill enable me to meet many of my members and so get into personal touch with them and their work. In time il may be pos . . . ible for me to visit all the Nursing Divisions throughout the Empire. hClye the honour to remain, Sir,

Hong Kong. -Captain E. Ralphs, Assistant Commis ioner in charge of the Hong Kong Di trict, reports: I am pleased to be~able to report that progress has been maintained ill Brigade work in the Colony during the year. The Saiyingpun Old Boys (Ho Kom Tong) Di\ ision has now reass 'mblcd al\u working I-cgularly. The Y. 11. C.A. Division continues to do useful work and is highly efficient. The European Police Di\'ision consists of 56 men all of \\hOI11 are wcll trained in Ambulance work. The Kowloon-Cant on Railway Division is enthusiastic ant.! is doing very goot.! work. Members of the various Divisions ha\'e been on duty on the occasions of Public Functions a nd their services have been much appreciated. I have again to record my high appreciation of the \'aluable s 'n ices of all the Officers and Members of the Brigade in this Distri ct and to thank them for their loyal support and uns elfish labours.

lndia.-Sir Henry Moncrieff Smith, c.!. E., Deputy Chief Commissioner for the St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas within the Empire of India reports: In presenting the returns for the year 1924 the late Deputy hid ol11missioner, Sir Frederick \Vhyte, e xpressed the hope that 1925 would be a year of progress and increased efficiency for th e Brigade in India. That his anticipations hay e been realised to a considerable extent will be seen from the reports of the \'arious Districts and the great part that he played in bringing about this r esult must be acknowledged with gratitude. There is however yet room for improvement and advancement, but I have no doubt that with the continued support of the loya l band of workers whose devotion is worthy of the highest praise we may feci r eass urcd concerning the future of the Brigade in this country. As reported last year the activities of the Brigade in this country was carried on through four Districts the jurisdiction of which remained the same. The direction of these Districts also remained in the hands of the same Officers.

\Ve have not yct been able to extend the Brigade to Burma, but the increasing interest which has of late been aroused in that Province in the cause of thc Order cncourages us to hope that we shall be able to do so in the near future. In the o. 1 District we are happy to be able to say that in addition to the existing three Divisions the imla Nursing Division, under the able guidance of Mrs. Batlye the Lady District Superintendent, has becn re-organised and is making rapid strides to retrieve its former position. All Divisions have progressed satisfactorily, the Indi a n Division again being foremost in activity. The Membcrs of this Division took e\'ery opportunity [or rendering sen'ice which they carried out with skill anu efficiency. Two teams [rom this Division took part in the All-India Ambulance Competitions both of which received pl-izes, A squad from this Di\'ision also did duty in connect ion with the opening of the Khyber Railway at Jamrud. The Nursing Divisions of the No. 2 Di strict continue their useful activities. Although efforts in this direction were not wanling it has not been possible to increase the membership of the European Division. During the year under report two of the members of this Division, :'lrs. Gibb and ~lrs. Haskell, were rewarded by the Government by the confcrment of the titles o. B. E . and ~1. B . E., resp ecti,'ely. The Inuian l\ursing Division sustained a great loss by the death of its Lady uperintcnuent, Miss Ewing, whose zeal and activity in the interests of the Division were unwearied and whose place will be difficult to fill. Th number of the Ambulance Divisions of this Distri ct was increased by the formation of the Sottish Churches College Division. As usual the members altcndl'u scvcral public functions and festivities both in and out of Calcutta where th 'i r scnices a re always greatly appreciated. The strength of the TO. 3 District decreased by one Division during the year owing- to the disb~ndment of the Gujrati-Hindu Division. The members of the District had several opportunities to perform public duties which are reported to hay e been carned out satisfactorily. About 210 cases of accidents and sudden illness 'were treated during the various pilgrim fairs to which detachments of the Briga de were detailed [or duty. 651 patients and invalids were r emoved from one place to another again t 818 in the previous year. The decrease is reported to be due to the exceptionally good health prevailing in the city of Bombay during the year. 11 Scrvice l\Iedal Bars, 11 Service i\ledal and 76 Service Badges ,,,ere awarded to Il1cmbl'rs of this District uuring the year. The Indian Council awarded a Vellum \ ' ote of Thanks to Superintendent J. D. Kothewala of the Ahmedabad Division for his \'alua.bl services during the riots there. The most important ad\'anccment made in this Dist ri ct during the year was the formation of adet Divisions in connection with the Parsi Ambulan ce and Nursing Di\'isions. The 1 '0. 4 District consists of the ~Iadras Ambulance Corps comprising six Divisions \\'ith a total trength of 190 on D 'cember 31st, 1925. Th' services of the oq)S were as usual requisitioned for the several local functions during'thl year umiL:r re\'iew and in everyone of them the Corp' members acquitted themselves well and lheir services were greatly appreciated by the authorities concl'rned. I cannot conclucle this report without expressing the obligations due to the officials ill the various Districts whose zeal, skill and initiative has renderet.! possible this satisfactory report of the activities 01 the St. John Ambulance Brigade within the Elllpir,,~ of Indi a. The year under report has been a steady improv("'ment in all din~c tions. Thl:re has been g reater goodwill and harmony among Officers and mcmbers and except for a few cases which are under investigation all our workers are discharging lheir duties sati factorily. It would be im'idious to single out any names for spl~cial mention but I cannot omit to acknowledge the valuable serviccs of Mrs. Ballye in re-constructing a nd organising the Simla Tursing Divi_ion and also for laying the foundation of the work in Lahore and Delhi. A special measure of thanks are due to her. I should also mention the names of ir Alexander l\Iurray and 1\1,-s. CoLLIe, til ommissioner and Lady District Superintendent respectively in TO. 2 Distri t, for their t.act a nd ability in removing many of the uisorders in theil- District. To Sir Lawles H cpper, ably assisted by Captain \\T. Nunan, in the 0.3 Di tri't, and to Major-General T . H. Symons in TO. 4 Distl-ict, we are indebted in a special degrec for the influence they have brought to beal- upon the administ ration of their Districts. T s hould also record my appI- 'ciation of the servicl s of Colonel P. A. 'edha.lll, Assistant Commissioner 1\0. 1 Di strict, and the Ofliccrs of hi s District for the efficient cl)ndition of the Divisions in their char ge.

New Zealand.-Colonel G. Barclay, o. B. E. , the D eputy Chief Commis ioner for the Brigade Overseas within the Dominion of New Zealand reports: It is pleasing to be able to report in satisfactory terms regarding the operations of lhe Brigade Overseas in this Dominion [or the year 1925. All the Districts show an increase in activity. There bas been a general tendency to increase the membership of units, while the formation and proj ected formation of new Divisions give a clear indication of a renewed interest in tbe work of the BI'igade. The annual reports furnished by Corps and Divisions show that the number of services performed was 9,505 against 8,568 for the preceding year. The number of cases of First Aid attended on Public Duty was 4-,4-77 against 3,824 for 1924- and 2,886 for 1923. The Transport cases totalled 1,161 as compared with 923 for the preceding year and 4-21 for 1923. The number of cases o[ First Aid attended not on Public Duty was 3,603 against 3,571 [or the previous year and 3,160 for 1923. The number of cases nursed privately by membcrs o[ Nursing Divisions is recorded at 26-1- against 250 for 192-1-, One indication o[ progress is the [ormation of several new Divisions. Ambulance and ~ursing- Divi ions have recently been established at Gisborne; another suburban Tursing Division was recently formed in " 'ellinglon and a similar unit at i\shburton. It is proposed lo take steps for the [ormation of Divisions at Tew Plymouth, Lower [{utt, Fixton and Patea and to re-organise lhe Harbour Board Di\'ision in \\'e11ington. The usual number of changes have taken place in connection with the senior Officers of Districts. In the Auckland District Dr. Hilda Northcroft bas been appointl'd as Lady Corps uperintelldent. In the \Vellington District Dr. D. E . Platts-?lIills has assumed the position of Lady District uperintendent. In Canterbur} 'lnd \Vest Coasl District, Corps Superintendent Becconsall has taken up duties of Dislrict Ollicer, and has been succ~eded in the office of Corps Superintendent by Dr. F. J. BOITil'. A ch<tng-e has taken place in the control of the Otago District through th~ retiremenl of Major \V. Fleming, \\'ho. after many years service, asked to be relieved of the duties of Assistant Commissioner. Colonel \V. ]. ~tl'llllg , O. H. E., has been appointed Acting Assistant Commissioner while Dr. l\Iarion \\'hyle has hC('11 appointed as Lady District Superintendent. It is with great regret that announcemellt has to be made of the death of two Officers who have remll'rl'u eminent sen'ice to lhe Brigade and to the Order. Colonel G. E. Gabites, Cl1rps ,'urg 011 and Superintelldent of South Canterbury and Turse M. H. l\lacandrew of the \\'ellington 1 Tursing Division . The opening- of the );ew Zealand and South Seas Exhibition at Dunedin in :\'o\'l'mber last made it necessary for the members of the Brigade to proffer their s '1'\ ices. Due provision was made by the Exhibition Directors for suitable :tcc t11l11odation and this was phced at the dispo6al of the Brigade. It comprised sl'parale ap,lrtmenl for men and women, suitable heating facilities, etc., a covered \\ it.\' \\ herl' motor ambulances might recei\'e patients with a minimum of publicity. The local Centl'c rendered scrvice in the matter of equipment; the members of the ;\iursin~ DI\ isiolls taking duty during the day, while the men of the Dunedin l\l1lbul <lIlCe Di\'ision were in attendance in the evening, supplemented by a certain IlUmIWI' of L\m bulance isters. Quite a large number of accidents, chiefly of a minol' nalure have been treated and the First Aid tation has proved a great C{1Ilvenil'nce :tlld has been much appreciated . The Centz-al tores Depot wh ic h was established in Christchurch two years ago has quill! fullllIed expectalions. It has enabled demands of units to be met within a few days instead of having to wait two or three months. The epidll11ic of Infantile Paralysis which visited New Zealand during the early parl of last year made it necessary in scveral Districts to obtain additional assistance and a numbel' of members of Nursing Divisions rendered services which w I'e much appreciated. The work of uniforming men's Divisions continues to progress. The Masterton ancl Invercargill Divisions have now been equipped while the recently formed Division al Gisborne is taking- steps in the same direction. It is underslood that the Railway Authorities a re now considering the question of further encouragement in First Aid work amongst the employees of t he N.Z. Go\el'l1ll1ent Railways. This is a matteI' which is of very great importance and it is hoped that as a result a number of Railway Divisions will later on be organised.

Competitions have been held in various Distri c ts with satisfactory results. The Dominion Competition which took place at Dunedin in connec ti on with the N.

It i pleasing to be able to state that therc is a good prospect of a satisfactory arrangement being a rrived at with the Ncw Zealand Branch of the British Red CruSs in rega rd to Peace time activities. The laller body is inviting the r e presentatives of l.

Auckland Dzstrict.-Mr. C. J. Tunks, 1\I. B. E., in charge of the Auckland District, reports:

•

ssistant Commissioner

The year just concluded has again surpassed all previous years both as regards the work accomplished and enthusiasm of the workers. As i usual members are interested in their work to a degree of self sacrifice which is vel-y g ratify ing to all concerned. They have r esponded to all demands made upon their time and ability for the service of suffering humanity. The Nursing Division ha\'e done splendid work in attending the Hockey Grounds each Saturday during the season. The Instruction gi\'en at First Aid and Home Nursing Classes at the various schools and at Headquarters has cheerfully and efficiently been carried out. For the fourth time in succession the Auckland Divisions of the Brigade have been successful in winning the Hes ey Shield and have also won the Gaze up two years in succession. At present our r\mbulances are in excellent ordel- a ne\\.' chassis for one and a new body for the other being purchased during the year. The work is still increasing and is being done in a manner which mcet with the approval of all concerned. During the year Ambulance and ~ursing Di\ isions have been formed at Gisbornc. These are receiving the support and co-op ration (l[ the local authoritics and residents. During the year we hope to have other Divisions formed. The Officers and members of the Poli e Force in A.uckland ha\'c, as in thc past, given us every assistance in the performance of our work. The work done by the Brigade at race meetings and football matches in particular calls for much praise j the number of accidents altend ed to at all sports grounds amounted to over 3,000 cases which is conclusi\e proof of the cnergy and efficiency of the mem bers. The usual picnics, etc., were attcnded. The National Reserve Divi ion hay built a Casualty Staticn at Onetangi Beach where Brigade men are in attendance every week end . This is much appreciated by the re idents and holiday makers. It is intended to enlarge this phase of work during the) ear. Dr. Hilda Northcroft has accepted thc oftlcc of Lady Corps ~ upcrintcndcnt. Helappointment has been welcomed by the Nursing- Divisions and I feel sure that her professional standing and her knowledge of and intel'cst in the work or the Brigad will be a matel-ial assistance to the Brigade and to me personally. I desire to place on record the \'ery loyal and active assistance given to me by 1\1r. F. J. Hutchinson, Senior District Superintendent and the Officers of thc Corps who have relieved me of a very great deal of detail work and yet nablcd me to keep in touch with all that happens in and about the Brigade.

Canterbury and West Coast Dzstrzd. -Major A. L. Gray, Assistant Commissioner in charge of the Canterbury and West Coast District, reports: The year has been one of 1'-teady progress especially as regards the l u rs ing Division&. The Ambulance Divisions are unfortunatel v still suffering from the effects of the \Var on their membersbip. There has be~n a slight incrcasc numerically in the District on last year's figures. A new Nursing Division the Ashburton NU I- ing Division has been fonned and registered and is attached to the Christchurch Corps. Ambulance woJ"i{ in all its branches has been well ca rri ed out and is being more and morc apprec iated by tbe general public.

The North anterbury Sub-District has had a very successful year and has the ben ,fit of 'xc Ilentlecturcs and demonstrations g iven not ollly by Brigade SUl-gCOI1S but also by prominent lo cal medical mcn. The idea of holding combincd lectures fOI- urs ing Divisions has been an excellent one. That a high standard of efficiency has becn attained was shown by thc work of the di\isions in this Sub-District at thc District Competition. Brigade members are being called on in increasing num\)el's for Public Duty. Th e outh Canterbury ub-District continues to do ,;ery good work and is spccially to be commcnded on its transport work which is most efficient and the public of outh Canterbury are most enthus iastic in their praise of the unselfish cfforts of Brigade members. Representatives of tbis Sub-District did well at the District, Inter-Dist ri ct and Dominion Compctitions. Unfortunately the Sub-District, indl'ed thc whole organisation, suffel-ed an irreparable loss by the death, . on January 5th, of Dr. G . E. Gabites, Corps Supcrintendent and Surgeon. Dr. Gabltes was a zealolls and deservedly popular officer, who always gave his services gencrously to thc cause of humanity. His knowledge was extensive, and at all times fre ly given and his demise has caused a vacancy that will be hard to fill. In the \Vl;st Coast Sub-Di strict great difficulty is experienced in resuscitating Brigade work, notwithstanding the great need [or ambulancc workers where doctors are scarce and distances g l·cat. It is gratifying to know that many former Brigade members in isolated townships continuc to pl;tce their sen'ices at .thc disposal of their neighbours in distress who are in most cases miles from a medIcal man. Possibly the future in this. ub-District may be brighter. In " elson and l\Iarlborough the Brigade is still dormant, but there are hopes of a re ivaI in the future. I am very much indebted to my Officers in this District for their splendid serv ices durin g the past year and especially Miss F. L. Cooper, Lady Distri ct Offi cer.

Otago DzstrzCt. - Colonel W. J. Strong, Acting Assistant Commissioner in charge of the Otago District, reports: On taking over charge of the Otago District late in the year I found that matters pcrtaining to the t. John Ambulance Brigade \\"ere not in a satisfactory state. In some inslances howevcr Divisions were well officered and functioning splendidly j others agai n wcre languishing and in onc case ceased to exist. \\'i th a few willing workers I have tried to instil fresh enthusiasm in the work of the Order and with a little p'rsistence hope to succeed. Onc difficulty I note particularly in the extent of the Otago Di trict. From Invercargill to Oamaru is roughly 210 miles, and interest in the outlying districts can only be kept up by periodical \'i iting by Headquarters executive Officers which of course take up a certain amount of time. r hope shortly to formulate a scheme by which I hope to be able to make r egular visits to the oullying distl-icts of In\"ercargill, O amaru and Hampden during the current year. A ver,' successful Dominion Competition was held in Dunedin on December 29th and 30tl~ during the currency of the ew Zealand and South Seas Exhibition. Comp titors came from the four centres of the Dominion and one and all displayed cfficiency and keenne s to excel during the tests that were held. In this way a very lively interest in the work of the Ordcr was kindled and which I hope will be of a lasting nature. The Invercargill Sub-Distl-ict sustained a severe loss in the death of Dr. McLeod. He was a much valued Officer and his demise is much regretted by all in the Otago District. I wish to express my sincere app reciation of the valuable services rendered at all times to the Brigade by the medical profession, by all Corps and Divisional Officers and members generally throughout the District.

Transvaal Dz"strzd.-Colonel F. H.

One Nursing Division was formed in Johannesburg and it is probable that sen'ral new Divisions, Ambulance and Nursing, will be organised in 1926. A Church Parade well attended by male and female mcmbers in uniform was held in celebration of t. John's Day and proceeded to SL l\Iary's Cathedral, J ohannesburg, when an app r'opriate sermon was deliver'ed by the D an of J hannesburg. On the occasion of the recent visit of the Pr'ince of \V ale to Johannesburg lh military author iti es were in control.
