REPORT OF THE CII,\.PTER-GE ERAL.

The Secretary-General read his report on the work of the Order during the pa~ t year ref rring particularly to the work of the t. John Ambulance As ociation and of the t. John Ambulance Brigade at home and over~ea . The Ho pitaller made a report on the work of the Hospital at J eru alem and the Librarian reported briefly on the \'arious acquisitions by the Library and J\1u eum by gift and purchase. A vote of thanks to His Royal Highne s The Grand Prior for presiding was proposed by the Sub-Prior and carried with acclamation. Replying to the vote of thank the Grand Prior said : " You have already heard a good account of the work of the Order. I will therefor not add much to what has been said. I congratulate the Order most warmly on the great advance it has made since last year. \Ye have to congratulate ourselves on having new Arms and a new Charter. I would point out that the new Charter embraces every part of the Briti h Empire, 'whereas our previou Charter referred only to the United Kingdom. This is an enormou advance and I hope will re ult in a very great increa e of inter tin th Order and in the promotion of its work. I personally thank all those, and e pecially the 'ub-Prior, who helped in the preparation of the new Charter; they took an immen e amount of trouble; it was a great undertaking and I am happy to know that it has been carried to a successful conclusion under the ub-Prior's very able guidance. The Pilgrimage to Jerusalem and the other ancient homes of the Order has been quite an event in its history. \Ve have et an example to the other branches of the Ord r and have . hown them that we are more alive than e,-er in our endeavour to do \vhat we can to develop our work for the good of humanity. I feel convinc d that this Pilgrimage, which was everywhere so warmly r cei" d, will be productive of much good. It will not ONY increa e the intere -t of onr members, but those outside the Order will recognize the pO ' ition it holds and the great importance of its work. I congratulate the new Knights of Justice who have ju t been received and would like to refer especially to Field-Marshal Lord Allenby. orne years ago I had the privi! ge of decorating him with the badge of a Knight of Grace in Jeru a1 m at an interesting ceremony there. May I assure very member of the Order of the great interest I take in everything connected with it. I fecI ,"ery proud of my position as its Grand Prior, and cordially thank all those who are taking so much trouble in so many ways to promote its best interests." Since the grant of its first charter in 188 , the Order has THE NEW ARMS. always used as its Arms th Arm of the overeign Order of Malt rt. , differenced by placing in the ang1 . of the cro s the lions and unicorns used as an embelli hment to the Badge. These Arms had never been recorded at the College of Arms, they had long been regarded as unsatisfactory, and on 11th December. 1925, His Royal Highness the Grand Prior was pleased to sign the following petition : To the King's Most Excellent .Majesty. The Petition of His Royal HighnC'ss Arthur 'William Pat.rick Albert Duke of -Connaught and Stra1.hcarn Knie-ht of th~ 1\1ost oble Order of the Garter Grand Prior of 1.he Order of t he Hospital of St. J 011 n of J 'rusalem in England.

The Charter was granted as the result of representations to His Majesty made by His Royal Highness the Grand Prior that the Order had extended its work and activities far beyond England into the Dominions and other parts 01 the Realm that it was desirable that the name and designation of the Order should be similarly extended so as to embrace within its scope the whole Realm, and that it was expedient to amend, consolidate, and supersede the provisions of the Original Charter and Supplemental Charter. A new series of Statutes, fifty-five in number, are set forth in a schednle to the Royal Charter; of these seven are unalterable except by a further Charter, and the remainder may be altered by the Grand Prior on the

recommendation 01 the Chapter-General and with the consent of the Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain given in writing.

The new Charter and Statutes received the Eoyal Assent on 12th June, 1926. Under the Charter the old Regulations of the Order were declared null and void so soon as new Regulations had been made. Accordingly a new code of Regulations, eighty-six in number, with eight appendices, was drawn up, and received the approval of a special meeting of ChapterGeneral on 14th December, 1926. The work of preparing the new tatutes and Regulations devolved upon a committee of the Order specially appointed for the purpose, known as the tatutes Revision Committee, which began its labours in the summer of 1921.

'Cnder the n w Charter and Statutes the 10llowing important changes have heen made : (1) The Grand Priory in Eng]and becomes the Grand Priory in the British Realm, and what was until now a national English Order becomes a great Imperial Order. (2) ~ further modification has been made in the Title of the Order by the granting of the honourable prefi.' 01 Venerable", the outward sign of its ancient origin. (3) An imperial organization has been given under which in every selfgoverning state or province a Priory may be established with Commandaries vvorking under it, and ultimately these Priories may be linked together into Bailiwicks, corresponding to the great Dominions of the Empire. (4) The Classification of the members of the Order has been completely re-organized so as to correspond with the other Orders of Chivalry, which has necessitated the Esquires being appointed Officers, and, whilst still retaining its own special grade of Chaplains, the Order now consists of:Bailiffs and Dames Grand Cross. Knigh ts and Dames of ] ustice and of Grace. Commanders (both sexes). Ofiicers (both sexes). Serving Brothers and Sisters. tI

Then hearing Bowden call he went to him . Bowden told .tbe Overman that he was pinned alongside a tram. Gubb, realizing that Le:Vls w3:s dead, proceeded to endeavour to release Bowden, but was obliged to retIre owmg to a further fall. He, however, went in again telling the other men to keep out of danger while he tried to free the injured man. Bowden told Gubb he would not be 3:ble to bold o.ut much longer as there was a stone pressing him down. Gubb spoke to hIm enco uragmgly and then called for two blocks of wood which he placed as wedges between the stone and the tram . This gave Bowden relief. He then proceeded cautiously to clear around Bowden, and after four hours strenuous n,nd heroic work (during which successive falls of roof occurred) succeeded in doing so . 1 he body of Watkins was recovered afterwards.

His Excellencv afterwards gave a luncheon in honour of the Order, at which the whole of the members and their friends were present. During the afternoon a rec ption was held at the Residency, at which the Corps Consulaire and all the leading officials and residents of the island were present. Ilis Excellenc , personally conducted the members of the Order round the sights of Rhodes ; the main streets were decorated and hung with flags, and nothing could exceed the warmth and dignity of the reception. In the evening Their Excellencies th Governor and Donna Otta via Lago, with six of th ir staff, dined with the Sub-Prior and members of the Order on board the Asia. Before leaving Rhodes the Sub-Prior dispatched a telegram of humble salutation and appreciation of their welcome to His Majesty the King of Italy. Malta was reached on 25th :'IIarch the proposed landings at Budrum and Patmos having been abandoned, owing to the delay off Rhodes. The representatives of His Excellency the Governor and of the Commander in-Chief ~Iediterranean Fleet at once came on board. In the evening His Excellency entertained the ub-Prior, Executive Officers, and senior member of the Order to dinner, after which an investiture was held in the old Throne Room of the Grand Masters of the Order, the Governor himself being invested as a Knight of Grace. There were present at the ceremony all the leading officials and residents of the island. On the following evening the ub-Prior, Executive Officers, and senior members of the Order were entertained to dinner bv the Commander-in-Chief Mediterranean Fleet. During the two days~ stay in Malta the Order received a most hospitable welcome, their reception by the Ialtese at the Casino Maltese being particularly cordial. "The deputation reached Venice on 30th March, the majority proceeding at once to England. The pilgrimage has been from every point of view a complete success, and everywhere our Order has been received officially and with all due ceremony in a manner befitting its dignity and status as an Order of Chivalry." On the return of the pilgrims, His Majesty the King, the Sovereign Head of the Order, was graciously pleased to sigrrify His Royal approval ofthe Pilgrimage in the following message to H.R.H. the Grand Prior ; -

Windsor Castle. " As Sovereign of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem in England I have great pleasure in congratulating you, the Grand Prior, and the Members of the Grand Priory, upon the completion of their very successful Pilgrimage to those places especially connected with the history of the Order. This undertaking creates a new incident in its tradition and will increase the interest taken in its general welfare and activities. (Signed) GEORGE H.. I. 15th April, 1926." A fresh stage in the completion of the scheme of decoration adopted for the Chapter Hall has now begun, ChapterMUSEUM . General having decided in commemoration of the - ew Charter and the Pilgrimage to fill the sixty blank hields in the windows with the Arms in stained glass of the sixty senior Bailiff Grand Cross and Knights of Justice on the roll in 1926 and desirous of availing themselves of the privilege. The work is being carried out by 1Ie.srs. Heaton, Butler, and Bayne. The \ Var Memorial Book, the preparation of which was entrusted to Mr. Douglas Cockerill, is now nearing completion, and will contain the names of 922 members of the Order, of the t. John Ambulance Association and Brigade and of its Territorial Branch who fell in the war. The new Charter and the COIl seq uent changes in the title of the Order have necessitated the preparation of a new eal under the supervi ion of the Library Committee. Four dasigns were submitted for consideration, the design finally selected being that submitted by illr. G. \\'oods Wollaston, 1II.V.O., Richmond Herald, and a Commander of the Order. The ·w ork of transcribing, and where necessary translating, "The Book of Assemblies", which is the minute book of the Tongue of England from the loss of Rhodes until its practical dissolution, has been 'ntrusted to Mr. G. Sherwood. This book is the most important historic document concerning the English Knights in existence, the original ilr . being in the Public Library at Valetta. An interesting inscription has been recently discovered on the orth Transept Vault of the Church of the Commandery of Torphich n. The inscription so far as it can be deciphered reads :-A~DREAS MELDRUM MILES ORDINIS SeT! J OHANIS. Several references to this Andrew Meldrum arc on record. On ovember 21st, 1432, Henry VI granted him a safe conduct to go into Flanders with six persons and six horses. On illay 13th, U33, II nry VI granted him another safe conduct for six months at the reque t of Robert Mallory, Grand Prior of England. On February 13th, 1137, he was granted a safe conduct for one month with four ervants and hor es, and again on ovember 10th in the same year he was granted a further safe conduct for one year, on the request of the Grand Prior of England for himself, John Kyndeloch his chaplain, and a suite of four persons, etc. On December 16th, 1438, Henry VI granted him another safe conduct

During the year there has been a slight decrease in the number of certificates issued through the medium of centres AMBULANCE (with the exception of the Railways) and detached ASSOCIATION. classes at home, which would seem to be accounted for by the general depression resulting from the crisis through :vhich the country. passed i.n May and the subsequent stoppage III the coalfields. Flgures received to date from centres overseas do not show the same falling off; in fact, the increased activity overseas which has become apparent in recent years seems to continue with gratifying results. _ ew ground has again been broken at Cyprus, Aden (wh~re an ~ctive branch has been [ormed), Kenya, Morocco, and Seychelles. ~n mcreasmg numher of examinations in first aid are being held annually m H.1\L Forces. They are now a regular feature with the Military Police and the Army chool of Physical Training, Aldershot, and negotiations with the \Yar Office for the examination of recruits of the R.A.M.C. at the Training E .. tahlishments at Crookham Camp have been practically completed. Cla. ses have al 0 been held in the 6th Brigade, Royal Artillery, and in the 1 I tll IIus ars. Through the medium of centres and detached classes at home and overseas, the As ociation has issued during the year 10,024 medallions, 23 ,797 labels and :~,100 pendants, in each case an increase on the figures for last year and a total increase of 3,929 re-examination awards.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL.

TIlE ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

In Oxfordshire the work of the Association has been placed on a county basis. Those who have accepted office in the new county centre have held a number of meetings in the county with a view to creating local interest and there is every indication of an expansion of activities in the county. The Inter-Railway Ambulance competi~ion for ungrouped railways was held at St. John's Gate on 23rd April, the judge being Dr. J tanley Davies, of London. Five railways entered team, the winners being the Southern and London, Midland and cottish Joint Railway (Somerset and Dorset) which qualified to compete in the Final with the following :-

Railway (Wimbledon) Team, and Captain A. N. Cahusac, M.C., Chief Secretary, Ambulance Department. Papers read at the Congress by British Delegates were, without exception, well received, and it was evident, so far at least as First Aid is concerned, that Great Britain is regarded as the leading authority on the subject. Included in the programme of the Congress was an International First Aid Competition in which the Ambulance Department was represented by the _ outhern Railway (\Yimbledon) Team, which won the Inter-Railway Challenge Shield in 192G. The team was successful in gaining first place in the preliminary stages of the competition, included in which were teams representing the British Red Cross Society, and the ational Fire Brigades' Association. In the Final round the team was also succe sful in gaining first place and was presented with a silver cup by the President of the Congress (H.R.H. Prince Henri Des Pays Bas). The work of the Invalid Tran port department has been well maintained. The total number of patients removed during the period under review was 3,100 of which approximately 2 400 were private cases conveyed from and to their homes nursing homes, hospitals, convalescent hom ,etc. The remaining 1,000 were pensioners who were conveyed for the :Jlinistry of Pensions to and from Hospital artd the various homes. and institutions under the control of the Ministry. These removals necessitat d 2,2R;,) journeys with a total travelled distance of 58,82-1 miles . orne of the road journeys were of considerable length. The removal of invalids i al 0 made by road and rail, the invalid travelling in each ca e from b d to bed on a specially prepared stretcher couch which is. simply tran f rr d from the motor ambulance into a raihvay invalid saloon carriage or into an ordinary compartment, a second motor ambulance being u ed to complete the journey. This is the method of removal generally adopted for the conveyance of invalids to and from the continent. The motor ambulances in u e are :-1 Armstrong-Siddeley, 1 Renault, 2 Cros -l YS, 1 :\1orri 1 Ford. The two latter cars are used in connexion with pecial ambulance work at exhibitions, race meetings, etc. The t. Paul' ambulance station has provided assistance to 1,055 per on during the past twelve months. As in past years, the permanent attendant ha been relieved on un days by a volunteer staff from o. 1 District, ~ t. John Ambulance Brigade.

Great Western Railway (2 teams). London and North Eastern Railway (2 teams). London, Midland and Scottish Railway (2 teams). Southern Railway (2 teams)

The final of the Inter-Railway Competition was held on the 29th and 30th June. The individual tests were judged at t. John's Gate on the first day, and the team test at the Cannon treet Hotel on the second day. The challenge shield was won by the \\'imbledon team of the Southern Railway. The challenge shield and prizes w re prl!_ented by Lieut.-General Sir Aylmer Hunter-We ton, K.C.B., D.S.O., R.E., M.P., the Chancellor of the Order. The facilities offered to centres of the Association and divi ions of the Brigade in the provinces for the establi hment of medical comfort depot have resulted in the formation of a number of additional d pots. Grant can still be made from the fund placed at the dispo al of the ssociation for this purpose by a well-wisher. Funds are also available for the establishment of medical comforts depots in London, grants having been made to the Association for their equipment by the unday Cinema Fund Committee of the Order. The Service Medal, which may be bestowed on those who have render d conspicuous service to the Order or its Department has been award d by the Chapter-General of the Order to the undermentioned for conspicuous service to the Association extending over a period of between 36 to 47 years:Robert Dumbleton. George Jackson.

A number of distinguished representatives of the As. ociation have been in England during the past year, and have paid visits to headquarters., including Dr. T. Storie Dixson, ir Henry ~Ioncrief£ mith, C.I.E., Dr. D. Bennie Hewat (Chairmen of the Central Councils in Australia, India and South Africa respectively), :VIr. V. Trapp (Chairman of the Victoria Centre), Mr. Hanbury Davies ( ew South \Vales Centre), and Mrs. A. B. Parry (Secretary of the ew South Wales Centre). Many important matters were discussed and much helpful information has been given to headquarters . In September the Third International Congress of Life Saving and First Aid took place at Amsterdam and the Ambulance Department was represented by the following :-Colonel C. I. Ellis, C.:'vI.G., M.D., AssistantSurgeon-in-Chief S.JA.B.; J Stanley Davies, Esq., M.B.; :\Iajor P. G. Darvil-Smith, C.B.E., Secretary S.JA.B.; E. A. Richards, Esq., Honorary Secretary, Southern Railway Centre, S.JA.A. (in charge of Southern

Major-General ir Percival Wilkinson, KC.M.G. the Acting Chief Commissioner, reports as follows :-" Previous to the AMBULANCE outbreak of the Great \\' ar of 191-1-18 the Brigade had BRICADE. been teadily increasing in numbers and efficiency, and at the end of 1913 , its strength was approximately 25,000. During the period of the war its number were very greatly increased, in spite of the large proportion of its old members who joined the fighting forces of the Crown or for various reasons temporarily ceased to be shown on its Roll, and reached at one time nearly 60,000. From 1919 down to 1922, there was a rapid drop in its member, which had by then fallen to 36,000. It is most encouraging to find from 1923 onwards that the steady increase both in its number of units and membership has been maintained, and that there is every prospect of this continuing in the. future.

B.ottomley, O.B.E., M.D ., reverted to County Surgeon for Hampshire at hls own request. It is with much regret that I have to report the death of Commissioner the Rev. W . Dore Rudgard, o. 3 (Western) District. Mr. Rudgard had given many years of service in the interest and welfar~ of the .Brigad.e and the present high position the Brigade holds in the Mldlands IS due m no small measure to his zeal and energy. By his death the Brigade has lost a much-respected Officer and friend. The continued increase in the number of accidents due to motor traffic

have made heavy demands on the services of the Brigade and I am glad to be able to report that all such calls have invariably been met, ho~ever great the personal sacrifice of time or money. puring. the year the !3 n g ade has carried out an immense amount of publIc serVIce, some of It of an exceptional nature, but it would be i~vidio~s to mention a few whe~ all have met the direct demands on theIr serVIces. From reports receIved the Brigade attended to 282,977 cases of accidents and sudden illness .. . . during the past twelve months. The efforts of the Lady Superintendent-m-ChIef to obtam practIcal hospital instruction for members of Nursing Divisions continues to ?~ar fruit, and I am pleased that such a large number of members are aval1mg themselves of the opportunities presented to gain a further knowledge in the care of invalids. The :JIotor Ambulance transport continues to develop in a satisfactory manner and several new ambulances have been presented to units of the Brigade' during the year. Such gifts u~ually replace ~ome Service Ambulance Cars, which are then free for Issue to other umts, and has a marked effect on increasing the net work of the cars throughout the country. . . ' The scheme of co-operation between local umts of the Bngade and LIfe Boat Stations, initiated by the Brigade, has made considerable progress during the year, and the majority of Life Boat Stations have completed the necessary arrangements for calling upon the services of m~mbers of the Brigade in the event of wrecks. In places where b~th um~s o~ ~he Brigade and Detachments of the British Red Cross SOCIety eXIst, ]omt action has been advised. The Committee of the Institution has expressed its appreciation of the co-operation afforded by units of the Order and ociety. . . , His Royal JIighness Prince Henry mspected the Pnnce of Wales District in Hyde Park. The continued interest of ~1e~bers ?f th~ Order, shown in a practical 'way by their presence at thls. ill~pectIOn, .IS much appreciated, and enables the Brigade to feel that It IS a credIt to the Order under which it has the honour to serve. During the pa t twelve months I inspected the foll.owing. Units : \Vorcestcrshire Divisions, outh-East Lancs Corps and ltS Umts, Yorkshire nits at hipley. In all cases I found a distinct advance in all features of Brigade work and a very high standard of keenness in that work. Colonel G. A. l\Ioore, the D eputy Chief Commissioner, made the following inspections on my behalf :- Bristol Corps, Cheshire Corps and Divisions, Irish District. Colonel Elli , the Assistant urgeon-in-Chief, inspected the Borough of Plymouth Corp . . . By kind permission of l\Iajor-General ~. Corkran, t.he CommlssIOner, No. 11 District, held a successful combmed parade m the grounds of Sandhurst College, Camberley. . . Colonel Moore and Colonel Ellis were able to gIve equally satIsfactory reports of the Units which they inspected. . ' I am of the opinion that combined parades are a great factor m fos~enng and promoting esprit de corps which is so m~rked throu1?hout .the Bngade. A striking feature on all occasions is the hIgh esteem ill whIch all ranks hold their respective Commissioners.

The Competitions for the" Dewar" Challenge Shield, the" Symons Eccles" Challenge Cup and the " Perrott" Challenge hield, were again held at the Great Central Hotel, London. The results were as follows : The" Dewar" Shield was won by the Bricklayers' Arms ( outhern Railway) Divisions, No. 11 District, and the " Perrott" hield by the Hampstead Tursing Division (No.1 District). The Shields, Cup, and Prizes were presented by H.R.H. Princess Arthur of Connaught. A feature of this year's Competition was the presentation of the Corbet Fletcher" Trophy. This trophy in the form of a handsome silver cup had been presented to Dr. Corbet Fletcher by his friends as a token of appreciation of his work for the Ambulance movement, and was offered by him to the Brigade for competition. As Chief Commi sioner I had much. pleasure in accepting the Cup on behalf of the Brigade, and agreed that m future the Trophy shall be awarded to the second team in the " Perrott" Challenge Shield Competition. An innovation was introduced into the Competitions thanks to the enthusiasm and generosity of 1r. J. Gro sman, who made it pos ible to use the film in competition work, thus enabling competing teams to witness the accident to which they had afterwards to give their attention. The standard attained, and the increasing enthusiasm shown are a cau e for great satisfaction, and I look forward to the time when all unit of the Brigade will enter teams for their local trophies and a pire to the honour of representing their District in London. This happy state of ~ffairs can only be made possible by capable organization, with good Judges and well thought-out tests. I am particularly grateful to the Judges' Committee, the Judges, and to my organizing staff, as the success of the Competitions depend to a great extent on the conscientious and efficient way in which they carry out their duties. The Royal Naval Auxiliary Sick Berth Reserve continues to maintain the same high standard of efficiency and on this account the Admiralty has decided to discontinue the annual inspections by their In pecting Medical Officer. It is with much regret I have to report the retirement of urgeonCommander G. O. M. Dickenson as Inspecting :Jledical Officer at the Admiralty. I feel sure the whole Reserve will associate itself with me in placing on record our very high appreciation of his valuable services to the Brigade during the term of his Office as Inspecting }Iedical Officer. This Officer was held in high esteem by all with whom he had to deal, and it is hoped that he will continue to show the same kindly interest in the future as has been the case during the past. During the year 316 volunteers have joined the 1ilitary Hospitals Reserve. The age limit for enrolment has been raised to 45, Reservists being allowed to remain members until attaining the age of 55 years. I t had been hoped that a larger and earlier response would have been made to the invitation of the War Office to enrol in this Reserve, which is limited in England to members of the Brigade. Arrangements have been made between the Ambulance Department of the Order and the Girl Guides Association for members of Nursing It

J OI-IN A11BULANCE BRIGADE.

Divisions of the Brigade to attend Girl Guide Camps by invitation for t~e purpose of rendering any first aid that ma~ b~ nece~s,:-ry. ThIS arrangement has been welcomed by our ursmg DIvIs~ons and Headquarters has already received the names of many applIcants for this duty. . . In the Autumn of 1925 it appeared possIble that there mIght be industrial trouble, more especially in the coal fields in the Spring of 1926. I therefore issued a memorandum defining the correct attitude of members of the Brigade if such should occur. I am glad to be able to report that throughout the G neral Strike in all parts of .Engl,:-nd, .the Umts of the Brigade were able to carry out their wo:-k of FIrst AId wIth the sympathy and help of all sections of the commumty . .. In the Ietropolitan Area, the AuthontIes entrusted to the Commissioner of TO. 1 District the responsibility for dealing with all street casualties due to rioting, and in addition the District was called on to furni h compl te detachments in charge of :\Ied.ical Offic~rs to ~ttend to the health of the units of pecial Constables whIch occupled vanous large buildings in London. No. 1 District maintained ':- detachment at its Headquarters with sufficie~t mot~r-cars. to enable I~ to move at short notice to any place where ItS servlces might be reqmred. The whole.of the :Jletropolitan Divisions were mobilized and prepared to rende:- serVlce and several of them rendered noteworthy help where casualtIes were numerous. At the request of the Home Ofnce a detachment was placed under canva in Hyde Park in sole medical charge of the hospital and sanitary requir ment of the :Jli~k Pool, a~~ this arrangement was continued after the arrival of a conslderable milItary force. Another detachment was furnished for Regent's Park, and others had been arranged for when the General trike happily came to an end. It is ignificant of th general respect in whic~ the work o.f the Brig~de is held that the majority of its members who dId duty durmg the stnke were themselves on strike by the orders of their unions, and that on every occasion on which our stretcher bearers had to penetrate excited crowds to remove the injured the fighting ceased in their immediate neighbourhood until their ta k was completed. The whole exp rience of thi period emphasized the ~bsolute necessi~y for our uniform and for it being well known to all sectIOns of the publIc. The work of the Brigade during this period was greatly assisted by a voluntary service of pri\'ate cars driven by their owners, and I am glad to report thatowingtothe respect shown to the badge of the Order no damage was sustained in the performance if this voluntary duty. . The lIedical Comfort depots have been a boon to the SIck poor, and it is a cause for congratulations that the Brigade is again the pioneer in a worthy cause. There are at present 23 registered depots staffed by our members. Continued efforts have been made to encourage the formation of Detachments and enrolment of members, and while there has been an increase in the number of V.A.D.s and personnel, the response has not been up to expectation. The following table shows the number of St. John V.A.D.s and personnel : Detachments. len. \Vomen. England

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL.

From reports receiv d, the finances of the Brigade continue to remain in a healthy state. That the Units are able to equip their members, purchase their own ambulance material and generally keep themselves out of debt, reflects great credit upon the Brigade generally, and the Units in particular. I am particularly pleased to see that Units are giving a larger amount of support financially to their District or County Headquarters. To maintain an efficient District or County Headquarters means money, and as a Commis ioner is loth to appeal to the public for funds over the heads of his units, it is only right for him to expect financial support from them, and I commend this fact to the notice of Units which, for some unknown cause, have failed to support their Commissioner in the past. To all Officers, rank and file, and Ambulance isters the greatest credit is due for the satisfactory condition of the Brigade. The ready response to my request for the prompt rendering of the yearly returns has lightened the work of Brigade Headquarters taff by enabling these returns to be dealt with before the bu y spring months arrived. During the year ended 31st December, 1026 381 ervice l\fedals for fifteen years' completed service, and 176 Bars, for every five years' further efficient service, have been awarded to the following Members of the Brigade:SERVICE 1IEDALS.

The f~ll~wing is ~xtracted from the report of the Chi f CommIsslOner, Seq eant-Surgeon Sir R.

Divisions. 187 97 284

Members. 5,397 1,959 7,356

This is an increase of 18 Divisions and 1 470 Members on last year's figures. ' I have the pleasure to report that 1926 has seen the Cadet movement in the Bri~ade spreading to those Domi:r:.i~n.s Overseas where the Brigade Overse<l:s IS represented, and Cadet DIvIslOns have been registered in AustralIa, IndIa, and South Africa. There are indications that more Divisions will be formed during 1927. The strength of the Cadet movement in the Brigade Overseas at the end of 1926 was five Ambulance and two Nursing Divisions, with a total membership of 229. The third Conference of overseas members at St. John's Gate was held on 23rd June, ~ut I regret that only one representative from India, one from South Afnca, and two from Australia were able to attend.

ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BR[GADE OVERSEAS.

Although it was not possible for a larger number to be present at the Conference we have been fortunate during the year in the number of distinguished visitors of the Brigade Overseas who have paid visits to St. John's Gate. These visitors have included Dr. T. Storie Dixson, Sir Henry loncrieff Smith, C.I.E., Dr. D. Bennie Hewat, and MajorGeneral Sir Henry V. Mill Pellatt, C.V.O., the Deputy Chief Commissioners for Australia, India, South Africa, and Canada respectively; Sir William Hoy, K.C.B., Assistant Commissioner in charge of the South African Railways and Harbours District ; Lady Hoy, Senior Lady District Superintendent, South Africa; Colonel Needham, C.I.E., Assistant Commissioner o. 1 District, India; Mrs. Cottle, C.B.E., Lady District Superintendent, No. 2 District, India; Mrs. Barltrop, Lady District Officer, Wellington District, ew Zealand; and Mrs. Parry, Lady District Officer, N .. W. District, Australia. Many important matters were discussed during these visits, and they have been a great help to headquarters. As foreshadowed in my last report, the Dress R egulations for Ambulance Divisions were circulated during the year, and I would express the hope that all Ambulance Divisions will endeavour to comply with these Regulations, except where a special uniform has been allowed. I regret that there has been a decrease in the number of Divisions of the Brigade Overseas who have forwarded subscriptions for the Order's Ophthalmic Hospital at J erusalem. The Chairman of the Hospital Committee asks me to express his thanks to those Divisions who have responded and to remind Divi ions of the great need of this hospital for subscriptions in order that it work may go fonvard. \i\lith reference to the work in each Dominion and Colony, I have to report that in : . AUSTRALIA.-The work of the Brigade Overseas is well maintained, and Cadet Divisions have been formed in the New South Wales District. A number of changes of staff have taken place in this District, where Lieut .-Col. T. Morgan :\iartin, after many years of valuable service, has transferred to the Reserve, and his place as Officer-in-Charge of the District has been taken by Lieut.-Col. H. R. G. Poate, M.B., while Senior District urgeon Lieut.-Col. T. Adam Dick has been promoted to the Australian Headquarters taff as Acting D eputy Chief Surgeon and District Officer A. . vVilkinson has been promoted to the rank of District Superintendent. A unique feature of the work has been the formation of a school of instruction for Sergeants and Corporals. Three more railway Divisions have been formed in the \Vest Australia Coastal District, bringing the total number of railway Divisions formed since 1925 to eight; the interest in these Divisions is reported to be very keen. CA ADA.-The outstanding feature of 1926 was the visit, on a tour of inspection, of Mrs. Lancelot Dent, A.R.R.C., the Lady Superintendent-inChief of the Brigade Overseas. Mrs. Lancelot Dent inspected all Iursing Divisions in the Dominion, and visited many Ambulance Divisions; it is felt that her tour has been of considerable value to Brigade work in Canada, and has been greatly appreciated. A silver Challenge Bowl has been presented by Mrs. Lancelot Dent for annual competition by the Nursing Divisions of Canada, in memory of her visit. CEYLON.- A new Division has been formed in the Eastern Province during the year, and the strength of the Ceylon Police Corps continues

to increase. Many instances of excellent First Aid work by members of this Corps are recorded. GIBRALTAR.-During the year Lieut.-Col. Goodwin had to resign as he was leaving Gibraltar, and Major Cathcart kindly consented to take over the duties of Acting Assistant Commissioner. The work remains teady. HONG Ko G.-Two new Divisions have been registered during the year, and the strength and activity of the Di trict continues to increase. Much valuable assistance was rendered by the members of this Di trict during the disturbances of 1925, and at the fire of the Hong Kong Hotel early in 1926. The investiture of His Excellency ir Cecil Clementi, K.C.M.G., the Governor of Hong Kong, with the insignia of a Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John by His Royal Highness Prince George, K.G., was made the occasion of a parade of the Hong Kong Corps of the 'to John Ambulance Brigade Over eas, in which the mart bearing and efficiency of the members received well-merited prai e. INDIA.-Brigade Overseas work continues to be steady, and I am pleased to report that one Cadet Ambulance Divi ion and one Cadet Nursing Division have been formed at Bombay. During the year the resignation w~s ~eceived of ir Lawless Hepper, the Officer-in-Charge of the No.3 Dlstnct, whose place has been taken by ir Reginald pence. MALTA.-The work is being well maintained and the po ition of the various Divisions is being consolidated. NEW ZEALAND.-Progress has been made in all Di trict and I am pleased to be able to report an increa e in member hip; the number of public service~ and cases of accident treated also how a . ati factory m~re~se ..

A featur~ of. the year was the first contest for the Inter-Colonial Challenge Cup, whIch IS open to any team from the Brigade Overseas. This wa won by the Glebe Division from the New outh \Vales District of u tralia. SOUTH AFRICA.-In South Africa our work shows a greater increase for the year thafo1- in any other Dominion and the po ition i very sati facto~y. For thIS state of affairs great credit is due to all ranks, and espeCially to the Deputy Chief Commis ioner, Dr. Bennie Hewat and his most efficient Staff. Eighteen new Divi ions and two Cadet Divisions were registered during the year, and there are now 72 Division and 3 Sections of Di:vi~i?ns in South Africa, with a total membership of over 1,700. New DIVIsIOns have been formed in every District , except that of the Orange Free State, and a feature has been the revival of the Transvaal District, ,:nder Lieu~.-Col. F. H. Brennan. The first Division of the Brigade Overseas m RhodesIa has been formed at Bulawayo and thi is due to the efforts of Colonel Birney, General Ianager of the Beira, Iashonaland and Rhodesian Railways, and Dr. Bennie Hewat. Ambulance work has been well performed in all parts of South Africa and great credit is due to ambulance w?rkers at the Salt River railway disaster on 9th June, w?en ~any lIves were saved by the p~ompt and efficient rendering of F~rst Ald. In the absen~e of Dr. Benme Hewat, Deputy Chief Surgeon Lleut.-Co~. W. Booth Skmner, D.S.O., and District Superintendent C. G. ?owthwaite proceeded on a tour of inspection of South Africa and mspected 59 Divisions, representing a membership of 1,569, and I would tender my thanks to them for having carried out this achievement. In conclusion, I wish to express my thanks to Mrs. Lancelot Dent,

A.R.R.C., the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief of the Brigade Overseas, ~ot only fo~ her work and help during the year, but for the tour of inspectIOn she kmdly undertook throughout Canada in the interests of the Brigade Overseas.

The following is extracted from the Thirty-Fifth Report of the Committee:Her Majesty the Queen has graciously consented to be JERUSALEM. President of the Linen Guild for the Hospital. This is a new departure which has its origin in the visit of the Members of the Pilgrimage of 1026 to the Hospital. It is hoped, by means of the Guild, to int rest the Sisters of the Order in the work being done in Jerusalem and the Holy Land by the Ophthalmic Hospital. As wa the case last year, our In-patient figures show a small decline. The tend ency is to operate more in the Out-Patient Department and r erve the beds for intra-ocular cases which make a longer stay in the wards. The absence of the \Varden on his home leave also affected the number of In-patient, as during his absence the other two surgeons had to carryon the work of the Hospital without any regular assistance from outside. r Tew Out-patients have gone up from 16,6-10 in 1925 to 18,127. Total Attendance have grown from 81,495 to 87,883, but Operations are 4,231 against 4 ·J07 for the previous twelve months. When it is remember d that for four months the \Varden was away and his place unfilled this speaks volumes for the way the remaining two surgeons and the rest of the nursing staff threw themselves into the ta k of carrying on the work of the Hospital, and the Committee would expre ~ s it appreciation of their successful effort which can only have been realised by selfless team-work. A Children's Clinic was started early in July and help was forthcoming from one of the Government surgeons who was attending for experience in school opthalmic work, and in addition, a Government school nurse was also pr ent for her training. This was owing to the fact that the Committee, who wish in very way to assist the Government, had sometime previously agreed to adopt a suggestion of the Director of Health that some of the nurses in his department should be allowed some training in the Hospital. eptember was an exceptionally busy month-the new cases were the largest on record, being 2,423, and the greatest number of new cases on one day 161, which again is a " record". The largest total ever seen in one day also occurred in this month, 628; and the monthly total was also a record, 12,259. It will be recalled that the Order undertook to train and pay six ophthalmic nurses for six Clinics in Palestine at a time when the Palestine Government found difficulty in financing some of its progressive schemes. The position is now somewhat different. The Government is offering, under its new Health and Child \Velfare Scheme, £9 per month, rising to £13, to its nurses. The Order is paying £8. The consequence is inevitable. The Order's nurses are resigning and going into Government service. The Committee has the position under consideration, and as OPHTHALMIC

there seems no rea on why it should ask the Order to increase the subvention to the Government Clinics, it will probably uggest some re-adjustment of the scheme whereby thc work of training the nurses in the Hospital will continue but the burden of the payment of the salaries at the Clinics be transferred to other shouldeL. . . larch 16th, 1926, is a day" marked evermore with white" in the annals of the Hospital. On that day, in the afternoon, the nb-Prior accompanied by the Executive Officers of the Order on Pilgrimage, wearing caps, mantles and Insignia, held a I<.eception in the Hospital, thus giving the Pilgrims and many dwellers in J cru alem and the neighbourhood the opportunity of in pecting the Ho pital. Among those who attended were His Excellency thc High Commissioncr and the Lady Plumer ir I<.onald and Lady Storrs, the Anglican ishop in Jerusalem, and 1\1rs. l\lacInnes, and the Mayor and ilIa yore . of J ru_alcm. There is no doubt that this vi. it has quickened intere t in the \vork of the Order in the Holy Land, and your Committee is gratified to rcport that as a result uf her visit a lady who wishes to remain anonymou gave a sum of £500 to endow a child's cot in the Hospital to hc called the "C.T.C." cot. Other new subscriptions and donations can be traced to this visit, and the Committee would welcome thc visit of cvery member of the Order to the Hospital, convinced that the r sult would be increased and willing financial support. The beginnings of the formation of a library have bcen madc. Captain Booty generously gave a case of valuable ophthalmic works and other books which the "Varden took back with him on hi rcturn from lea\·c. The Librarian has promised a collection of surplus library books from the Gate, which have been gladly accepted by the Committe . The Committee.regrets that it can report no progrcss in regard to the Annexe. The original free grant of land by the Patriarch was found too small for its purpose under the New lunicipal I<.egulations, but thc further grant of land, making the original area of metres 20 by 20 in to one of 30 by 35 has raised difficulties with the Commi sioners dealing with the finances of the Greek Church, and the Order is being asked to pay " market price" for the extra area and is now waiting to hear what is meant by " market-price". In addition to the £1,050 already announced as having been received towards the Building Fund for the Annexe a welcome addition has been made during 1926 of £-195. A lady, a great friend of the Hospital for many years past, has endowed the Order with a good house and garden within the walls of J ru alem, the user to come into effect after the decease of the pres('nt occupier. Our benefactress insists on anonymity, but the Committee's thanks and gratitude for so noble an endowment are profound. The idea is that in time to come the house may be used for one or more of the Hospital Staff and perhaps a small Dispensary as well. Their Excellencies The Lord and Lady Plumer have more than once visited the Hospital, on one occasion taking the High Commissioner of Egypt and Lady Lloyd with them. Both the High Commissioners also paid professional visits. The Director of Health of Palestine brought as a distinguished visitor the Director of Health of Syria. The Committee is still engaged in perfecting the equipment of the Hospital. The installation of electricity has proved a wonderful stimulus and enables our Staff to keep abreast of the latest scientific discoveries

and inventions. Lord I veagh-not for the first time-has ~iven assista~ce which cnabled the Warden to take back with him many ltems of eqmpment which were sorely needed and welcomed with enthusiasm by the taff. The Fincham slit-lamp has proved a great success-for thIS the Committee has already expressed its thanks to the Great Priory of the Order of the Temple, whose gift of £50 enabled the Committee to purchase it. Mr. Hugh Adams has made the Giant Iagnet possible, and sufferers will no longcr have to go to Egyp~ to gct metal ~ragments. extracted f~0r;t their eyes. Lady \iVatson, never tired of well-domg, has gIven t~o chIld s cots, which were badly needed. As stated above, one of these lS already endowed. \Yill some kind friend and lover of children endow the other before the next Report is printed? . l\1iss \iVh iteman, Matron of the Leper Institution in Pretoria, has gIven £7 for the" use of the H.ospital i~ J erusale~ " and Miss Nicholson has sent bandages for the patients. :MISS M. Aldndge has also sent a welcome gift of eye-bandages which are much appreciated, and 1\1rs. E. A. Camerson also gave, in addition to collccting £70, a gramophone and rec~rds for the isters-a great boon which will enliven many an othcrwlse dull evening. To all these ladies the Committee offers he.a rty t~aI?ks. During the year 1927, apart from the long delayed bmldmg of the Annexe, which the Committee hopes may be at length soon begun, the question of the drainage will probably have to be faced. and con~ected therewith the installation of new baths and lavatones. Until the Goven1m~nt chcme of drainag for the Hinnom valley is put ~~o xecution it may uffice for our immediate purpose if a new cess-pIt IS unk but the difficultv connected with new baths and lavatories is that J eru 'alem is not yet -beyond reproach in regard to its water supply though infinitely better equipped than it used to be. For the interior of the Ho pital the Committee appeals for help to tile the pas ages, wards and waiting-rooms and the kitchen. When this is done the appearance of the Hospital will be enormously improved and annual expense in colour-washing saved. The co t varies accordi~g to the size of the room or corridor or ward, but, roughly, the cost would be £1 lOs. a quare metre-our smallest room, the Female Recreation Eoom, would cost about £22 and our largest, the O.P. Hall, about £110. The total sum required would be about £600. Turning to the Income and Expenditure Account, it will be noted that xpenditure was practically the same as in the previous year, but that on the Income side there was a falling off of some £150. The need of increased subscriptions and donations is a pressing one. To its many supporters, both at Home and Over eas, the Committee offers its very sincere thanks for help towards maintaining the work of the Order in Palestine. Especially are thanks again due to the Honorary Treasurer in Jerusalem, Lady Watson, who has remitted £236 19s. 10d., an increase over the previous year of over £2-L Her efforts are untiring and at the same time successful. Our Honorary Secretary in Scotlancl, Mr. J. H. tevenson, also shows an increased list, for which the Committee tenders its thanks. Finally your Committee would express once more its deep sense of the loyal work done by the Hospital Staff, in which is included Lady Watson, who devotes herself wholeheartedly to the Linen-room and to the welfare of the Hospital generally. In a year during which the \ iVarden was absent

The Registrar, Dr. helley, our two Bnbsh SIs~ers, the PalestIman Nurses, all have earned the gratitude of the ~ommlttee and the Order for their determination to maintain the prestIge of the Order in spite of temporary disadvantages. ~t is gr~tifying to note that all previous records of the mstructIon and examination of candidates in First Aid . . have been beaten.

. T~Is re~ult may be lar~ely attributed to the greater prominence which IS b~mg glve.n to th.e sU?Ject of a~bul~nc? wo~k. The Priory is ex rting a wIde an.d mcreasmg m.fluence m thIS dIrectIOn and its repre entation have atta~ed an apI?rec~able ~egree of .succes. During the pa t year it has been m commumca.tIOn wIth .the DIrectors of Education throughout v~ales. N~t only has It emphasIzed the desirability of installing First -,\I~ box~s m ~le~entar~ Schools, but also urged the necessity of provldmg. Flr~t AId mstrucbon for the boys and girls. In several di tricts the Pr~ory s. offer of assistance has been accepted and voluntary lectures are bemg gIven by its m embers. The alarming increase in the accidents occurring on the road has attr<l:c~ed the attent~on of the public to the urgent need for First id reqmsI~es to be carned o~ public motor vehicles, and to cope with thi th~ Pnory pr~pared specIally adapted First Aid cabinets both for the pnvate motonst, charabanc proprietors, and omnibus services. In many ot~er va~ied direct.ions the Priory had brough t pressure to bear .u~on the mcreasmg necessIty for the recognition of ambulance work and It IS ~o doubt the indirect result of this propaganda work which i~ reflected m the Ambulance Department returns . The straightened ~ircumst~nces which prevailed during the greater part .o~ the year, 'partIcularly m the mining areas, proved the need for the prOVISIOn of MedIcal Comfort DepOts and the true spirit of sacrifice which actu,:tes the workers. Each year the number of assisted persons increases and m 1926. a total of 4,289 medical requisites and comforts for the sick room were Issued. Two additional DepOts came into operation at Port Talbot and Abertiller~, ma~ing a total of 29. During the coal strike hun~reds of poor pat~e~ts m the mining districts were supplied with n~unshment and reqmsltes, as pre~cribed by the medical practitioners, wIth,?ut payment o~ the us~al. nommal charges which help to make the I?epots se~f-supportmg and It IS hoped the public will show its appreciatIon of thIS by contributing to the sadly depleted funds.

The Motor Ambulance Transport Service was vitally affected by the stoppag of work in the coalfields, but the various Committees maintained all the cars in full commission, notwithstanding a loss of £2,000. The Joint Committee for South Wales and Monmouthshire of the Miners' \Velfare Fund made a generous grant towards this deficiency, for which the Priory is extremely grateful. A total number of :~,297 cases were carried by the cars, the aggregate mileage being 63,631. These figures are considerably in excess of those for 1925. Owing to the industrial conditions and consequent lack of funds, ~~wer competitions than usual were held during the year. The competItIons for the Lady Lewis" and Lady Bute " Cups were, however, h eld, the form er bing won by the Treharris Division and the latter by the Liverpool Division. The Priory received a handsome shield for competition by Cadets from Colonel J. Arnallt Jones, M.D., K.H.S., V.D., Commissi0J?-er for Glamorgan, and it is hoped to inaugurate this new contest dunng the curren t year. . In addition to the centre competitions, arranged locally, the Pnory organi ed cont sts for the Llandinam Shield and Arthur Griffiths Memorial" Cup. The event took place amid keen enthus~asm, and ~he winning teams namely: The Llwynypia Team and AbertIllery Nursmg Team respectively represented vVales in the final competitions for the D ewar and Perrott hields held in London in June. The numerical strength of the Brigade in \\ ales has increased during 1926 by 702. The following figures show the yearly increase during the last three years : it

.JOINT COUNCIL.

The following is extracted from the last pubE hed report of the Council of the Order and the British Red Cross Society : The Emergency Help Committee is still very active. The number of n w ca es a isted during 1925 was 17,535, and in addition more than 10 000 other cases were dealt with. The total grants approved for the \York from th commencement to 31st March, 1926, were £640,000 and the present average monthly xpenditllre on grants to cases is £8,500. There has been a steady fall in expenditure, as ,\'as anticipated, grants to cas s during 192- being over £15,000 less than for 192-1. The lapse of time since the Armistice makes the need for inquiry into all applications more imperative than ever, but even so the administrative expenditure continue Jow, due in part to the generous voluntary help given by workers all over the country. During the year 132 motor attachments for the tricycle of di abled men were provided, making a total of 317 provided . In certain cases the Committee accept contributions towards the cost of the attachm nts, and many men have agreed to contribute varying amount over a period. The motor attachments confer great benefit on the men, and their health and mental outlook are much improved thereby. The Home Ambulance ervice has grown steadily and consistently. During the year under review, 25 new stations were established and 17 were do ed. The exi ting stations now number 387, induding 38 affiliated. The patients carried during the year numbered 76,886. The total number of patient carried since the commencement of the service is 371,301. Two-thirds of the ambulances are in the charge of Divisions of

the s>rder or Detachments o~ the Society. The cases attended by the Mob.lle X-Ray. Departm~nt mcreased during the year by 50 per cent. Dunng the Stnke, 60 pnvate cars were put at the disposal of the Committee, in addition to its own ambulances. These conveyances were used solely for hospital work, and the total number of patients carried was 1,064, including 51 maternity cases. H elp was freely given by V.A.D.'s, members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade and other volunteers and was much appreciated. ' The total number of ex-officer cases helped in the Auxiliary Hospitals for. Officers' Department n~w numbers 17 ,501. The majority of cases asslsted are ex-officers suffermg from tuberculosis in connection with their treatment at home and abroad. Much good work continues to be done at t~e Brig~ton Hospital, 138 patients having passed through this HospItal durmg the year. In larch last the accommodation of the Hospital was reduced to 24 beds. .G~ants for Bed~ide Occu~ations were given to 12 Ho pital ,seven being Mmistry of PensIOns HospItals, and five other similar institutions. The number of patients benefiting is nearly 1,500. Reports receiv d show that the occu'pati~ns have been o~ great b.enefit to the mentality of the patients. The pfts glven to ex-Servlce pensIOner patients in hospital at Christmas numb~r.6,625 of whi~h 3,215 were administered in cash, mainly through the ~1mlstry of P~nsIOns. The total cost of the gifts was £1,590. Letters receIved from pahents show the great appreciation with which these gifts are received. The expenditure in connection with the Drives and Entertainments Fund is slightly less, due in part to greater expenditure of kindred bodies' 25.'000 men have been provided with motor drives, or conveyed to enter~ tamments and theatres; 4,000 teas h.ave been provided by the Fund, ~nd 200 con~erts and Amateur T~eatncal performances have been given m the Hospltals. The work contmues under the able administration of the Honorary Organiser, 1\1r. F. S. Phillips. Grants, tota~in~ 372, were I?~de to 62 Ministry of Pensions Hospitals and other Insbtuhons for addlhonal comforts and articles of recreation. During the year approximately 8,500 ex-Service pensioner patients have benefited from these grants, which are keenly appreciated and welcomed by the men and are of great value in improving their general health.

Report of the Committee for

1926. TIlE Hospit.aller and the Committee of the Ophthalmic Hospital have the honour to submit their Thirty-fifth Report for t.he information of His Royal Highnes t.he Grand Prior, the Chapter-General, and its subscriber. Her ~Iaje. ty the Que n has graciou ly con nted to be Pre. ident of the Linen Guild for the Ho_ pi tal. This i a new departure which has its origin in the vi it of th ~Iem her~ of th Pilgrimage of 1926 to the Ho pital. It is hoped, by mean. of the Guild, to intere t the i ters of the Ord~r in the work bring done in J eru alem and the Holy Land by the Ophthalmlc Ho. pita!. The Guild ha - hardly begun to function yet, but the Committee heartily welcomes it co-op ration and readily re igns into the isters' hand~ the re"lpon ibilityo[ supplying the Ho pital with linen and patients' clothing et hoc genlls omne. As \ a. the cae la t year, our In-patient figure show a small decline. Th' lend ncy i. to operate more in the Out-patient Department and re'> ry the b d. for intra-ocular ca es which make a longer stay in the wards. The alrence of the \Varden on hi. hom leave also affected the number of In-patient a. during hi ab. ence the other two urgeons hReI to carryon the work of the Ho pital without any regular as istance from n tsicle . nt.-patients haye gone up from 16,640 in 1925 to ]"8,127. Total Attendances han~ grown from 1 495 to 7, 83, but Operations are 4,234 against 4,407 for the previous twelve month. When it i remember d that for four month the \Varden wa away and hi place unfilled, thi peak volume for the 'way the remaining two 'urgeon and the re. t of the nur ing taft threw them elve int.o th tak of carrying on the work of the Ho pital, and the ommiU c would expres it. appreciation of th ir successful effort which can only haye been reali ed by elfie team-work. Children' linic wa . tarted early in July and help was forthcoming from one of the ovemment. urgeon \"ho wa attending for experience in school ophthalmic work and, in addition, a Government school nurse was al 0 pr ent for her training. Thi ·wa. owing to the fact that the Committee, whi h wi -he. in yery way to a i t the Government, had orne time previou 1y agreed to adopt a suggestion ofthe Director of Health that some of t.h nur . in his department hould b allowed orne training in the Ho pital. eptember wa. an xceptionally bnsy month-the new ca es were the large. t on record, being 2,423, and the greate t number of new case on one day 161 which, again, is a « record." The large t total ever een in one day also occurred in this month, 628; and the monthly total was al 0 a « record," 12,259. An explanation of these constantly increa ing numbers may naturally be a ked for. One reason certainly is the increased facility of transport , better railway, better roads and the I

REPORT multiplicity of motor cars. Another is the action of the Government in ~tarti?g ophthalm.ic clinic in Palestine which mak thc Ho. pital better known 111 th~ outl 'lng villages. Then, of course, th more that come to the Ho pltal and are cured or arc made better th more are their ~ricnd . and acquaintance encouraaed to. ek our help.

Cameron also gave, in addition to collecting £70, a gramophone and record for the iter - a great boon which will nliven many an otherwi e dull evening. To all the e ladie th ommittee offers hearty thank . During the year 1927, apart from the long delayed building of the Anne::ce which the ~ommit~ee hopes may be at length oon begun, the questIOn of the dramage WIll probably have to be faced and connected therewith, the installation of new baths and lavatories.' ntil the Gover~me~ t scheme of drainage for the Hinnom valley is put in to executIOn It may suffice for our im~ediate purpose if a new ce s-pit is sunk, but the dIfficulty connected WIth new baths and lavatories i that Jerusal~m i~ not yet beyond reproach in regard to it water supply. though mfimtely better equipped than it used to be.

For the interior of the Hospital the Committee appeals for help to tile the pa ages, wards and waiting-~ooms. and the kitcher:. When this is done the appearance of th HospItal WIll be enormou .ly Impro,:,ed and annual expense in colour-washing saved. The cost vanes according to the size of the room or corridor or ward but, roughly, the cost would be £1 lOS. a quare metre-our smallest room, the Female R ecreation Room, would cost about £22 and our largest, the O.P. Hall, about £110. The total sum required would be about £600. The olive crop is an improvement on that of 19 25. From a harvest of 19 0 rotl (1,140 lbs.), 40 rotls of oil were yielded. With oil at Pt. 20 per rotl the value of the crop is £8. The Municipality have powers to expropriate land for public advantage and, acting under these powers, notice has been served on the Warden that they propo e to take a small strip from our northern boundary for the purpose of widening the road at a very dangerous bend. The Warden writes: (( It is undoubtedly a very dangerou spot and lately there have been everal accident h re, one fa tal." The Committee has raised no objection, no tree or garden are acrifi.c~d as the strip is almost all olid rock, and it has recommended the Improvement to ChapterGeneral for sanction, more pecially as the Municipality have agreed to fgo forward with a cherne for tarring the road past the Hospital, which, a the \Yarden ay, will be (( a boon beyond compare." . Turning for a moment to the Income and Expenditure Account, It will be noted that expenditure was practically the same as in the previous year, but that on the Income ide there wa a falling off of some £15 0 . The need of increa ed sub ~ criptions and donations is a pressing one. To it many supporter, both at Home and O."ers.e~s, the Committee offer it · very inc ere thank for help towards mamtammg the work of the Ord r in Pales tin . Especially are thanks again due to the Hon. Treasurer in Jeru alem, Lady \Vat on, who has remitted £23 6 I9 s . Iod., an increase over the pr viou year of over £24. Her efforts are untiring and at the sam time ucce sful. Our Hon. ecretary in Scotland, Mr. J. H. t ven on, al 0 how an increa ed list, for which the Committee tenders it thank. Finally, your Committ e would expres once more its deep sense of the loyal work done by the Ho pital taff, in which is included Lady \Vatson, who devotes her elf wholeh artedly to the Linen-room and to the welfare of the Hospital generally. In a year during which the Warden was absent four month on leave the work nece arily pressed more hardly on those who were left with no permanent surgeon to replace hi invaluable share of that work and his wide experience, yet tho e for whom the Hospital is maintained were not reduced in numbers or their afflictions un-cared for. The Registrar, Dr. helley, our two Briti h isters, the Palestinian ur es, all have earned the gratitude of the Committee and the Order for th ir determination to maintain the pre tige of the Order in spite of temporary disadvantages. Their predece or in the eleventh century working not far off in the Muristan proudly called themselves the (( servants of the poor "-no higher title can be given to our hard-worked twen ti th cen tury taff. ] anllary, 1927.

The Warden's Report. THE number of new patients seen during 1926 was lL. I27, and the tolal consultation 7, < 3· The number of patients admitted to IIospital was 1,499, and the numuer of operations performed 4,234. Classified according to relio-ion. of the new cases 11,666 were :'.Ioslems, 3. I T 5 were Christians, and 3,046 were Jews. Of the total consultations, 5 ' ,115 were 1\101ems, 14,454 were Christians, and 15,314 were Jews. The numbers of new patients and total consultations are the largest on record. Admissions to Hospital are less by 28 (1.-It)9 as against t,527 in 1<)25) ancl the operations clone less by 173 (4, 34 as against 4.-107 in 1025). One of the surgeons (the , Yarden) was absent for four months, on home leave. The reduction In admi sions wa due to the slightly increased average duration of sta y in Hospital . caused by the admission of a few ca e for prolonged treatment (chiefly by the X- [{a \·s) . Hence the average daily number in Hospital 'w as higher, 39.16 as against 37 .2K In 19 2 5. In the report for 1925, it was pointed out. that with our present blllldings and bed strength of forty-fi\'e, the limit in the In-patient figures had been reache ' l. Indeed it seems likely that in future, and largely clue to the number of lrichia:-:is cases operated upon at the ophthalmic clinic~, the number of intraocular case done at the central Hospital can be increasec1.\s . all things considered, th 's operations take longer to perform ancl the patients have to be retained langer In Hospital, there must be a corre ponding fall in the number of operations and admissions to Ho pital. This is as it should be. Of the 18, 12 7 new cases, 1,392 were" bhnrl " in one eye (7.0 p.c .) ami ,I J-I were" blind" in both (2.5 per cent.). As m former reports, the term " blind " in~ludes not only the totally blind but the economically blind; this latter category bemg reckoned on the standard of \'i ion amounting to less than the abilIty to count fingers at a distance of one metre. It i admitted that this standard IS' too low, as it is barely sufficient to enable the mc1ividual to get about, much less support himself. It was intended during 1926 to tabulate the Incidence of .. bllJ1dness" on the higher standard, of vision less than one-tenth of normal \'ision. Thi~ was given up as impracticable. An illiterate, e\'en of low grade mcntalit y, readily comprehends the nature of the test of counting fingers at a metre distance, an ;l the r esults are fairly accurate; whilst the attempt to get a sati factory finding from the use of the simplest form of illit.erate te. t.-type had usually to be abanrl 1l11:d as a waste of time and energy. Even reckoned on thi s 10 N tandarcl tllC Inc!(lence of " blindness" is high; 1,856 individuals were found to be " bliorl " in one or both c~~es; that is 10 per cent. of the new cases. :'I10st of these eyes wcr ' borell'ssl ), blmd, but about one-third had some form of operation done to impro\ c what.. vision they had. It is unnecessary to give detailed statistics of the immediate cause of " blindness," as this follows closely what has been given in previou ycars. It: is of more importance tv reiterate that over 70 per cent. of this" bhndne "can be traced, directly or indirectly, to acute conjunctivitis. In Palestine this dll'<t"e rerurs with unfaIling regularity; but the incidence and the severity \-a1'\' from year to year. The epidemic of 1925 was milder than usual, ,\'}th an InC!(lence of T2·4 per cen.t. ot the new cases; whilst in 1926 the total cases of acute conjunctivitIs numbered 3,50 , or an incidence of 19.4 per cent. of the new cases. In the prIng and early summer th e cases averaged abcut 50 p er I1lllnth; in June they incn:ased to 269; July, 5 26 ; August, 788; September, 739; falling to 395 in October and 235 in November. Cases with corneal ulceration numbercd (JIG; of these a large proportion were already blind in one or both eyes, from thIs attack, whilst others may eventually become blind from the onset of seconrlary glaucoma. rtw; is the tragic harvest of a preventable rlisease. The problem of prevention is complex for c",usation involves many factors . amongst otbers bad housing, overcrowding, lack of water, primitive habits, flie, and dust but also social practices that lie too deeply to be removed by material improvements-the result of the kind of living summed up in Eiplillg'S refrain, " Along, along 0' dirtiness, All along 0' mess, All along 0' doin' things, Hather more or less." The punishment, when it comes, is swift and stern; ancl the sight of a mother, recently blinded, with a child at her breast and others about h er knees is too moving to be dulled by its frequency. Although in a seme, the only cur~ for many lies in prevention, yet when cases are received early . the results are usually good. The intermediate group, with commencing ulceration of the cornea, are much more difficu lt to manage. These cases are quite unsuitec1 for ordinary >

hospital treatment.. (owing to their contagi?us nature) and yet need much more attention than can be given them as out-patlents. . ' . The Orcler has been prepared for some time past to erect a sUI table bUlldlllg for the reception and treatment of these cont~gious cases;. but owing to, the inexplicable delay on the part of the CommissIOn for the Fmances of the Greek Church in coming to a deci ion as to how much the Order should pay for an extra piece of ground required for this purpose, we stan~ h?l~less. . The incidence of trachoma was 78 per cent. IhIS IS less than preVIOUS year~ but can hardly be regarded as an llnprovement, for the majority o! the ca~es reported free from trachoma were Jews, many of theI?- recent arrn'als. 1 he aetiology of trachoma is still unknown. Although not an 1m por.tant cause. of <l:c~ual blindness it is responsible for an enormous amount of suffenng and dlsablhty; whilst to those anxious to emigrate its presence is an effective obstacle. ~Iost of our operative work is due to thi s cJiseas.e or its sequeICB .. Out of a .total of 4,234 operations, no fewer than 3,-101 ope~atIOns were. occasIOned by It. Grattage operations numbered 6.p; the operatIOn of combm~d tarse~toJ?Y. was done 3 00 times and 2.459 cases were operated upon for the rehef of tnchIasls. . The number of intra-ocular operations was less than last year; 345 as agamst 483 in 1925 ; but as previously mentioned one of the surgeons was absent on home leave. One hundred and forty-four operations were performed on the lens for cataract. One thousand and thirty-se\cn cases were tested for glasses, and 589 prescriptions were given. The remainder showed insufficient visual improvement owing to the presence of irregular astigmatism or otherwise. . ' In the X-Ray Department, fifty-six photographs were taken for dlagnostlc purposes. In twelve individuals the presence of a foreign body inside the eyeball was demonstrated. Of these, ten were localized by the aid of the Sweet's apparatus. \s the eyes in the remaining two case~ were already hopelessly destr<;>yed as the result of the ll1jury, there was no object in attempting to do anythl.n~ further. Two of the positive cases were Briton. One had received a gun-shot In]uq-, a?d the other hacl sufferecl as the result of the accidental explosion of a box of dynamIte cartridges. A number of photographS were taken to demonstrate pathological conditions in the skull , orbit, etc., associated with eye symptoms. Treatment was also carried out on nine patients, twenty-six X-Ray doses being given. Of t h.ese cases, 11 ve wer suffcri ng from gla ncl ular canc.?r of the skin of the eyelid. The remalllder were various . ome of these cases resulted in an apparent cure; others arc improved and arc still receiving periodic treatment. The entire work of this department has heen skilfully carried out by the Registrar. . The outstanding event of the year and in the history of the HospItal, was th.e visit of the Pilgrimage of the Order. The record of this unique journey has passed 111tO the hi. tory of the Order, but with us there remain the stimulus of thoughtful appreciation and the knowledge of an awakening of the populace to a higher conception of the dignity and grandeur of the Order and its aims. His Excellency, The High Commissioner and Lady Plumer have frequentl'y honoured the Hospital with a visit. The taff feel deeply grateful to Theu Excellencies for their continued and sympathetic interest in the progress of ~ur work. There have been no additions to the fabric, and only minor repaIrs have been necessary. It is a matter for regret that the scheme' of the enior Medical Officer, Jerusalem, for the renovation of the sanitation of the Hospital is still in abeyance. This is entirely due to the delay of the main drainage scheme for the City. It is satisfactory to note that in the report of the ~ .)[,0., Jerusalem, for the year I925 (the lastest report available) he states: "The question of main drainage has been taken up in the case of J eru alem, where sun"eys are in course of preparation. It presents unique difficulties and policy \-vill require to be directed at improvements gradually effected towards completion of a comprehen. ive scheme. The survey is definitely afoot and the further proposed programme for early execution includes the construction of a new sewer to serve the South-\Ye t area." (i.e., the area of the Hospital). In anticipation of this it is hoped that the Committee will proceed with that part of the scheme which involves t.he construction of a central bathing room, etc. If the projected main clrain is still unavailable, it will be necessary to provide an additional oakage pit for the outflow. This r -arrangement will relieve the strain on the existing ce -pits. Further it will permit of plans being submitted to provide a mess anrl recreation room for the s~bordinate staff. At present they ha-,e the use of part of the large Hospital kltchen, but this i objectionable. TIJe tiling of the pa sage ancl wards is still an unsupplied want. Vle live in hope, for the condition to which painted and colourwashed walls can be reduced in a few da,'s is one of the minor horrors of ho pita l administration in the East. .

R EPORT

As will be se~u from the foregoing brief summary, a large amount of work has been ~one dunng I926. In accomplishing this we have been much helped by the new lUstruments and apI?aratus added to our equipment eluring the year. F<?remost .among t ~hes~ addltIons.~ust be placecl the Fincham lit Lamp for the mIcroscopIcal exanunahon of the liVIng eye. This beautiful instrument has addecl mu~h certainty and interest to our work. . :l\1ention must also be macle of the Lister Pen.me~er, the. Clement Clarke Skioptometer and two complete sets of automatIc ~;lbJective testing apparatus. Thes~ all form valuable adjuncts to our equipment. Ihe handsome br<l:ss ms.trument cabmet, the gift of Sir \ Villiam and Lady Plender, unfo~tunately arnved lU a damaged condition. This has now been skilfull" repaIred. Its presence in the operating theatre puts out of countenance much of the other fu rniture. This disparity can be remeclied in time, as I feel sure that many people wIll welcome the .opportunity of showing in this way their appreciatwn of the wO.rk of the Hos.pltal: A list of our precise requirement has been prepared. .An Improved hospItal SlU~, of Bntish make, for the use of the 'lterilizing a.ud preP<l:nJ?-g room ha .been o~tamed locally and will be installed ady next ~ ea~. This IS tJ::te us.e ful gift of MISS Dorothy L. Bcan, a member of the Pilgnmage. OWIng to peculIar CIrcumstances, we have not yet bcen able to avail ourselves of the generous off~r. of Sir H~rbert Brown to supply the fitments for a room to be u ed as an eye chmc for babIes. We hope soon to be in a position to do so. Thanks are also due to irs .. E. A. Cameron, for the kind gift of a gramophone and recordfor the use of the SIsters. The Medical Staff are .extremely grateful to Captain L. B. Boot.y for the gifl of a number of ophthalmIC books. These are all recent editions and form the nucleus of a Hospital library. ..Finally I wish to express my indebtedncss to all .M embers of the 'taft, both Bntish and Palesti~an; to the Registrar (Dr. W. E. Thompson) and to Dr Shelley for the adllllrable way in which they carried on, horthanded, during my ab ence.. To Dr. Thompson, I am especially grateful for hI keen interest and ungrudgIng helpfulness in everything that matters. . Lady vVat~on co?-tinues to be the friend and helper of all the tafL Th' Lmen ~o<?m stIll receIves her devoted care and attention. Shc IS e\-er amongst us as the lIVIng embodiment of the proud mottocs of the Order: "PRO FIDE : PRO

of work at the Tulkeram Clinic (Dr. F. 1. Hacldad) and the Ramleh Clinic (Dr. S. Boclossian) are singled out for special mention. The work accomplished at these clinics shows an increase of 50 per cent. over that of 1925. The combined total of new cases was I3,8I4 (an increase of 9,679) ; the total consultations, 114,392 (an increase of 52, I86); total operations, 2, 68 4 (an increase of 974). It is a maHer of much satisfaction to us that 1,000 of these operation were done for the relief of trichiasis and this undoubtedly eased the pressure at the central Hospital. The incidence of trachoma in the districts wa . estimated at 86 per cent.; and "blindness" at 7.6 per cent. for one eye, and 2-4 per cent. for both. These results correspond closely with the statistics of this Hospital. The visitation and supervision of the clinics were again inadequate, owing unfortunately 1.0 the absence on leave of one of the surgeons. All the clinics were visitecl on three occasions and the opinion of the visiting surgeon was in general, v ry fa vourable. The work of the nurses is to be highly commended, for in addition to theIr duty at these clinics, they carried out the routine treatment of school children under the supervi ion of the 1\1.0.s. The statistics for last year are not available, but the annual report of the Department of Health for 1925 shows that through the agency of these centres 12,457 scholars were examined and 9,902 were put undcr treatment, ,,,ith a total of more than one million attendances. All things considered, the scheme may be regarded as a success and the work accomplished something to be prouel of. Its weakness lies in the fact that it is a temporary arrangement and as a consequence the nurses feel that they have no surety of employment. The result is that they are apt to seize the first opportunity of bettering them elves. Two have air ady done so and it is likely that others may follow. l. TOW the work to be done by these nurses at the clinics is so important that years of training and experience are essential for its adequate performance. To ensure this, the ophthalmic nursing service in Palestine ought to be placed on the highest grade to which nurses might aspire. And status here, as elsewhere, means salan . They should be paId a little more and rise a little higher than the others of equal service. The ddicrence between an ophthalmic nurse and a nurse WIth ophthalmIC training hould be emphasised. The position is difficult as one hesitates to propose additional financial burdens for the Order. On the other hand it is hard to see how the Department of Health, with no ophthalmic hospital under ib adnllIllslration, can train and supervise such a service. Some form of compromise may be arranged, as there IS much work to be clone. In conclu IOU. 1 wish 1.0 express my thanks to the Director of Health , Colonel G. \Y. Heron, C.B.E., D . . 0., for 1m; valuable advice; and Major R. Briercliffe. o R.E .. for his bearty support of the work and management of the clinics.

UTILITATE HO?IINUlI1."

OPHTHALMIC CLI.!. rcs L PALESTINE. This scheme was inau~urated in IC)24 and thereby the Order agreed to aSSIst the. Government of PalestIne, firstly by the supervision of ophthalmlc clmic!::> at van<;>us centres throughout the country, secondly bv the traming of C;oyernrnent ~Iedlcal. Ofncers in ~he es~entials of ophthalmolog}-, and lastly by the training and maIntenance ~f SIX ~ertIficated nurses at the Hospital of the Order in Jerusalem , thereafter. to contInue In the service of the Order and be po. ted for ophthalmic duty at SIX selected centres. Hence the scheme has been m operation for two complete y~ars. Last yea:-, four n~edical. officcrs had courses of training, making a total of thIrteen officers SlUce the lUceptIOn of the scheme. It is regretted that th . Department of Health has not founel it convenient to permit more than two 01 ~hese doctors to return for a " refresher" course. The need for this is great. as it IS kno~ that many of these doctors, whilst with us on their first cours(" fail to appreCla.te the difficul~ies of. ophthalmic diagnosis, treatment and operation. Everything .seems so slmpl~ lU a well equipped special hospital, WIth a trained staff, b~t things take on a dIfferent aspect later when at work in an Isolated clinic . They ~Isc~ver for .themselves their weak points and are therefore in a better mood to rece:ve InstructIOn at a "refresher" course than during the initial training. vVlth regard to the nurses, four received conrses of training; one of the c was a Government nurse posted f0r special tra.ining in school work. Three nurses returned for a" refresher" course. In all eleven nurses have unclergone thc full course. Two of the nurses of the Or~er resig~ec1 during the year, a.ncl were replaced. At the end. of I926 there were SIX nurses m the service of the Order under this scheme. The S.IX centres, staffed .by. nurses of the Order and uncler supervision, are as f<?llo:vs: III the Northern dlstnct, ablus, Tulkeram and Acre; in the Southern dlstnct, Ramleh, Gaza and Beersheba. Record of work clone at ablus: New cases, 3,08I; total consultations, 3I,172; operations, 412. t Tulkeram : Tew cases, 3,652; total consultations, I8,6IO; operation, 1,212.

THE Director of the Ambulance Department and the Ambulance Committee of the Order have the honour to submit the following report of the work of the St. John Ambulance Association for the information of His Royal Highness The Grand Prior and the Chapter-General. During the year there has been a slight decrease in the number of certi fi cates issued through the medium of centres (with the exception of the railway centres) and detached classes at home, which would seem to be accounted for by the general depression resulting from the crisis through which the country passed in May, and the subsequent stoppage in the coalfields. Until the beginning of May the figures showed a slight increase over the corresponding period in the previous year. Figures received to date from centres overseas do not show the same falling off; in fact, the increased activity overseas which has become apparent in recent years seems to continue with gratifying results. As regards detached classes overseas, new ground has again been broken , at Cyprus, Aden (where an active branch has been formed), Kenya, Morocco, and Seychelles. An increasing number of examination in first aid are being held annually in H.M. Force. They are now a regular feature with the Military Police and the Army chool of Physical Training, Aldershot, and negotiations with the \Var Office for the examination of recruits of the R. .~.c. at the Training Establishment at Crookham Camp have been pract.lcally com~leted. Classes have also been held in the 6th Brigade, Royal ArtIllery, and m the 11th Hus ars. The Air Ministry has also been approached regarding the instruction of the personnel of the Air Force. Through the medium of centres and detached cla ses at home and overseas, the A sociation has issued during the year 10,024 medallions, 23,797 labels, and 3,100 pendants, in each ca e an increase on the figure:, for last year and a total increase of 3,929 re-examination awards . The number of certificates jssued in England, Ireland, and \Vales during the year is as follows : INSTRUCTION.

"Crusaders Ancient and Modern." A Price List of articles sold by the Stores Department, with particulars and estimates for Ambulance Carriages, can also b e obtained.

INTER-RAILWAY AMBULANCE COMPETITION.

Owing to the industrial disturbances during 11ay .th~ i~nal competition was postponed to the 29th and 30th June. The mdlvldual tc 't were judged at St. John's Gate on the nrst day by Dr. ~1. Young, of Chester, and the team test at the Cannon treet Hotel on the e~o.nd day by Dr. W. Gray, of Hartlepool. The result of the comp tItIon wa as follows :J[arks . Railway. 30..!! . . 1.

The Challenge hield and prizes were presented by Lieut.General Sir Aylmer Hunter-Weston, I<.C.B., D.S.O., R.E., M.P., the Chancellor of the Order.

It was decided during the year that the members of the team gaining fIrst place in the competition should be presented with a certificate suitably worded to commemorate their success, which was made retrospective in order that the members of each winning team since the institution of the competition in 1897 might receive a copy. Dr. F. de B. Pim, a Knight of Grace of the Order and A SSIS . t an t CommlSSIOner .. N o. IV D IS ' t nct, . St. J 0 h n Ambulance Brigade, has very generously offered a shield for competition by teams of member of the Police in England and vVales who hold first aid certificates of the Association. The offer has been gratefully accepted, and the nrst competition will be organized by the Association as soon as possible after the concurrence of the Home Office has been obtained. There is every reason to expect that the institution of a Police hield will stimulate the training in first aid among the Police Forces of the country and be very popular. It is also expected to result in the revival of ~he annual competition for the hield presented to the Association by Major E. H. J. Parsons, C.B.E., a Knight of Grace of the Order and recently Assistant Commissioner in the Metropolitan Police, for competition by teams of the Metropolitan Police. POLIOE

S HIELD.

A committee was set up in the early part of the year to . '1 . . f or the use of prepare a manua1 f or Juvem es pnmanly Cadets ~f the S.t. John Ambulal1:ce Brigade. The committee is nearing the completIOn of ItS task and portIons of the manual in pamphlet form will hortly be available for distribution. It having bee~ decide.d during t~e year to introduce and include among the courses of mstructlOn recogmzed by the Association a syllabus of coo~ery, a textbook has been written for the Association by Miss H. 1. I?I~~, the Lady uperintendent of the Lytham-St.-Annes Nursillg DIvlsIOn of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, to whom the committee of the Association expresses its grateful thanks; early publication of the manual is expected. P UBLICATIONS .

The facilities offered to centres of the Association and divisions of the Brigade in the provinces for the establishDEPOTS. . ment of medical comforts depots have resulted in the formatIOn of three additional depots, bringing the number of assisted depots to 31 out of a possible 60 allowed for. Grants can therefore till be made from the fund placed at the disposal of the Association for this purpose by a well-wisher. Funds are also a 'ailable for the establishment of me~ic.al comfort~ dep~ts in London, grant having been made to the ASSOCIatIOn for theIr eqUIpment by the Sunday Cinema Fund Committee of the Order.

Hanmer, has been the means of stimulating interest iII ambulance work in many places where the need for such work was not fully realized, and several new classes and divi ions have resulted from his practical demonstrations. His new film "Cameos has been well received and he has had many requests for repeated vi its. The work was hampered somewhat by the industrial troubles in ~Iay, but in spite of the disturbances the demonstrator's seryices were in great demand. A number of distinguished representatives of the Association OVERSEAS and Brigade Overseas have been in England during the CONFERENCE AND VISITORS. past year, an d have pai d visits to headquarters. Those representing the Association have included Dr. T. tori e Dixson , Sir Henry Moncrieff Smith, C.I.E., Dr. D. Bennie Hewat (Chairm n of the Central Councils in Australia, India, and South Africa respectively), Mr. V. Trapp (Chairman of the Victoria Centre), lr. Hanbury DaYJes (New South Wales Centre), and Mrs. A. B. Parry (Secretary of the ew South Wales Centre). Many important matters were discussed and much helpful information has been given to headquarters. It is hoped that the visits have been equally profitable to those centres represented by these officials. Unfortunately their visits did not coincide with the annual conference of overseas members held at St. John's Gate, and only ~Ir. Trapp and "Mr. Hanbury Davies were able to be present at the meeting which took place on the 23rd Jun e. The Association was, however, fortunate in having other representatives present in the persons of }Irs. Cottlc, C.n.E. (Calcutta), and Mrs. Savage (Port Elizabeth, South Africa).

Papers read at the Congress by British Delegates w re, without exception, well received, and it was evident, so far at least as first aid is concerned, that Great Britain is regarded as the leading authority 011 the subject. Included in the programme of the Congress was an International First Aid Competition in which the Ambulance Department was represented by the Southern Railway (Wimbledon) team, which won the InterRailway Challenge Shield in 1926. The team was successful in gaining first place in the preliminary stages of the competition, included in which

In the final round the team was also successfl~l in gaining first place, and was presented with a silver cup by the Pr.esident of the C?ngress (H.R.H. Prince Henri Des Pays Bas).

It is gratifying to note that all previous records of the instruction and examination of candidates in Fjrst Aiel have been b atcn. During the year 11,2 '3 students attended a course of instruction in First Aid and 552 a course in home nursing. The total a\vards issued number 10,GDO, made up as follO\\'s : PRIORY FOR WALES.

This result may be largely attributed to the greater prominence which is being given to the subject of ambulance work. The Priory is exerting a wide and increasing influence in this direction, and its representations have attained an appreciabl(' d gree of success. During the past year it has been in communication with the Directors of Education throughout \Yales. Tot only has it emphasized the desirability of installing First Aid boxes in Elementary School but also urged the necessity of providing Fjrst Aid in truction for the boys and girls. In several districts the Priory's offer of assistance has been accepted and voluntary lectures are being given by its member. In many oth r varied directions the Priory had brought pressure to bear upon the increasing necessity for the recognition of ambulance work, and it is no doubt the indirect result of this propaganda work which is reflected in the Ambulance Department returns. The straightened circumstances which prevailed during the greater part of the year, particularly in the mining areas, proved the need for the provision of Medical Comfort Depots and the true spirit of sacrifice which actuates the workers. Each year the number of assisted persons increases, and in 1926 a total of 4,289 medical requisites and comforts for the sick room were is ued. Two additional Depots came into operation at Port Talbot and Abertillery, making a total of 29. During the coal strike hundreds of poor patients in the mining districts were supplied with nouri hment and requisites, as prescribed by the medical practitioners, without payment of the usual nominal charges 'which help to make the Depots self-supporting and it is hoped the public will how it appreciation of this by contributing to the adly depleted funds. The Motor Ambulance Transport Service was vitally affected by the stoppage of work in the coalfields, but the various Committees maintained all the cars in full commi sion notwithstanding a 10 s of £2,000. The Joint Committee for South V\'ales and Monmouth~hire of the Miners' Welfare Fund made a generous grant towards this deficiency, for which the Priory is extremely grateful. A total number of 3.297 cases were carried ?y the c~rs, the aggregate mileage being 63,631. These figures are conSIderably 111 excess of those for 1925. OWin.g .to the industrial conditions and consequent lack of funds, fewer -competItIOns than usual were held .during the year. The competitions

ABRIDGED REPORTS FROM C ENTR ES. During the year classes in first aid and home nursing have been held and were fairly well attended. vVheeled litters, street boxe and first aid appliances are available at many points in the area of the centre and have proved useful. Sick room appliances for loan to the public are also available at headquarters. ACCRINCTON.

The area of the centre is well equipped for dealing with accidents or cases of sudden illness: there are forty suitably designed lockers containing first aid outfits which have been of service on many occasions. The centre has also three motor ambulances available at all hours of the day or night. The number of candidates instructed show an increase in the previous year's figures. ASHTON-U - LvNE .

A large number of accidents both slight and serious has been attended to in the collieries by holders of the Association's certificate.

Lawton, Esq., the chairman of the centre. BABBINCTO N.

A number of ca es have been treated by members of the centre and a motor ambulance has been in use on many occasions.

The centre has continued to arrange classes of instruction in it area, and there is a slight increase in the nu mber of awards issued as compared with the previous year. The medical comforts depot has continued its activities and its stock of comforts has been increased by welcome gifts. BEDFORD.

Although the unsettled industrial position interfered with classes u ually held in large works, thirty-four classes have been formed during the year. fany of the candidates who gained certificates have joined the t. John Ambulance Brigade. The work done by the e two organization has been carried out with added efficiency, and has called forth much admiration from the public. B

IRMI NCHAM .

The centre was formally constituted on 1st March at a public meeting at the Town Hall under the presidency of the Mayor. An appeal to raise £2,000 during the year for the provision of a suitable headquarters in a central position of the town was made by the Mayor, and though some progress has been made towards this end, t~e efforts of the special committee appointed for the purpose have been hll1dered by the general depression arising from the coal dispute.

HALIFAX.

The centre has suffered a heavy loss in the death of ::\1r. A. E. Jordan, an Honorary erving Brother of the Order. For nearly thirty years he was a keen worker and the men of the centre owe much of their success and enthusiasm as first aiders to his fine example and constant \villingness to help. He became honorary ecretary in 1910, and through the rush of the war years his promptness and accuracy were greatly appreciated by all who came in contact with him. The centre ha had a succe_sful year. HAHDSWORTH .

The work of the centre has progressed very satisfactorily during the year, and there has been a marked increase in the number of awards i sued as compared with the previous year.

KESWICK .

The centre regrets to record the death on 9th February of lajor Vi/alter Rowley, V.D., D.L., the st med honorary secretary of the centre since its formation in 1878. Major Rowley wa one of the pioneers of the ambulance movement in Yorkshire, and the centre desires to place on record its appreciation of the yaluable cryices rend red by him to the ambulance movement during his forty-eight years' en'ice. Mr. Edward D. Glover, Superintendent of the Arml y and \Yortl y Division of the St. John Ambulance Brigade (the olde t Divi ion in Leed ) has been appointed to succeed l\1ajor Rowley as honorary ecretary. The work of the centre continues to progress and during the y ar thirtythree classes have been held. LEEDS.

The centre has shared in the reyi\'al of intere t in ambulance work throughout the country, and is rapidly approaching the high standard attain d in pre-war year. In pite of a year of severe financial stringency, consequent on trade d pre. ion contributions have b een well maintained, and no side of the work has suffered curtailment. The transport work of the centre continues to be one of the most appreciated activities of the centre, and during the y ar a second ambulance motor has been brought into commi ion. The centre arranged an interesting exhibit at the Nation 's Health Exhibition in March and valuable propaganda work was done.

LEIC ESTER .

The centre has probably experienced its mo t difficult period since its formation seven Y ars ago, from the financial point of view. The fourteen sick room stores deput continue to be of great help to the poor in the districts where they are placed. First aid boxes have been supplied to the schools in the county of Lindsey. The motor ambulance service maintained in the county continues to do useful work. More than one hundred fishennen at Grimsby have presented themselves for examination during the year. The death of Mr. Alfred Shuttleworth, one of the Vice-Presidents of the centre, was a great loss to the centre. The centre regrets to record the resignation of the Earl of Liverpool from the office of County President. He has been succeeded in that office by Lord Monson.

Once again a team representing the outhern Railway was successful in winning the Inter-Railway Ambulance hield, whilst the Dewar Challenge Shield, offered for competition amongst the St. J ohn Ambulance Brigade teams, was also secured by a team of Southern Railway men. It was a source of much gratification to the Directors and Officers of the company that a Southern Railway team should have been selected to represent the St. John Ambulance Association in the International Competition held at Amsterdam in Sept ember, and, needless to add, the fact that this team was successful in winning the competition and bringing to England the International Trophy, has given the greatest possible satisfaction to all.

This is an increase of 18 Divisions and 1,-170 1embers on last year's figures. I have the pleasure to report that 1926 has seen the Cadet movement in the Brigade preading to tho e Dominions Overseas where the Brigade Oversea is represented and Cadet Divisions have been registered in . ustralia India, and outh Africa. There are indications that more i vision will be formed during 1927; the strength of the Cadet movement in the Brigade Overseas at the end of 1926 was 5 Ambulance and 2 Nursing Divi ions with a total membership of 229. The third Conference of over eas members at St. John's Gate was held on 23rd June, but I regret that only one representative from India, one from outh Africa, and two from Australia were able to attend. Although it was not po sible for a larger number to be present at the Conference, we have been fortunate during the year in the number of distingui hed vi itors of the Brigade Overseas who have paid visits to St . John's Gate. These visitors have included Dr. T. Storie Dixson , ir Henry Moncrieff mith, C.LE., Dr. D. Bennie Hewat, and MajorGeneral ir Henry V. Mill Pellatt, C.V.O., the Deputy Chief Commissioners for Australia, India, outh Africa, and Canada respectively; ir William Hoy, K.C.B., Assistant Commissioner-in-Charge of the South African Railways and Harbours District; Lady Hoy, enior Lady District Superintendent, South Africa; Colonel Needham, C.LE., Assistant Commissioner No. 1 District, India; Mrs .

Officer, N.S.W. District, Australia. Many important matters were discussed during these visits and they have been a great help to Headquarters. In accordance with the new Statutes and Regulations of the Order of St. J ohn~ the ti.tles of D~puty Chief Commissioner and Deputy Chief Surgeon muse m the Bngade Overseas have been altered to "Chief Commissioner for and "Surgeon-in-Chief for the Dominion and Color:y in which they are situated; provision is also made for the appomtment of "Lady Superintendents-in-Chief for" th various Dominions. The number of Service Medals of the Order issued to members of the Brigade Overseas during the year was 88 a slight decrease on last year, and the number of Service Medal Bars issued was 17, an increase of three from last year. .A~ ~oreshadow~d in my last report, the Dress Regulations for Ambulance DlvlsIOns were CIrculate? ?~ing t~ year, and I would xpress the hope that all. Ambulance DlvlsIOns WIll end avour to comply with these RegulatIOns except where a special uniform has been allowed. I regret that there has been a decrease in the number of Divisions of the Bri&ade Ove.rseas who have forwarded subscriptions for the Order's Ophth~lmic HospItal at Jerusalem. The Chairman of the Hospital CommIttee asks me to express his thanks to those Divi ions who have responded., a?d t? remind Divisions of the great need of this hospital for sl!bscnptIOns m order that its work may go forward. WIth reference to the work in each Dominion and Colony I hav to report that in : JJ

AusTRALIA:.~!he

work of the Brigade Over eas is well maintained, and Cadet DlvlsIOns have been formed in the ew outh Wal s District. A. number of changes of staff have taken place in this District, where LIeut.-Col.

Three more raIlway DIVISIOns have been formed in the ~'est Australia Coastal District bringing the total number of railway Divisions formed since 1925 t~ eight; the interest in these Divisions is reported to be very keen. ~ANAD~.-The outstanding feature of 1926 was the visit, on a tour ?f mspectIOn, of Mr~.

OVERSEAS.

SIR, I haye th honour to submit my report on the Nursing Divisions of the Brigade Overs as for the year nded 31st December, 1926. The past year has been a very satisfactory one for the work of the ~ur ing Divi ions; in all the Dominions the work seems to be progressing and inc rea ing in u'dulnes ,whil th reports of the efficient and capable a i tance alway available from members of the Brigade are most gra tifying to receiYe. I could wi h that more enthu ia m and interest were shown by the younger gen ration, who the e days eem disinclined to volunteer-in peace time for U' fnl \I\'ork for the as i tance of their fellow civilian citizen. , and th refore the 'train and re pon ibility falls heavily on those members who in number of ca es have given many years of loyal and un elfi 'h work . I think more might be accompli hed by the members themselves in making tll work of the Brigade more known in their own Districts and al 0 by their endeavouring to interest and encourage their friends to a 'i t tll 111 in carrying on a work of which they themselves may at some time stand in n eed. ~ly officers 0 faithfully uphold the tradition of the Order that I find it diffi nIl to xpress my appreciation of all that they do for the work, or of tIl loyal manner in which they are supported by the members of tll ir iyi"ions. It wa n1.' gr at pleasure to vi it Canada la t May to inspect my • -ur ing Di\'i ions and to meet my Officers and Iembers throughout the Dominion; I was most gratified to be able to assure you in my report that th work i ' being carried on in a highly efficient and practical manner. The difficnlli xperienced by some of the Divisions make the result of th e work mo t creditable, while the martness in the practical side, as well as in the appearance, which was so evident everywhere, could only have been brought about by great devotion and self-sacrifice on the part of the officer and members. The welcome extended to me throughout the Dominion was of the very warITl.e t, while the ready upport and keen interest shown by all tho e in any way connect d with the Brigade was a touching tribute of that gr at loyalty and devotion to the Order and to St. John's Gate which is felt by all members of the Brigade in Canada. I was greatly pleased to be able to jnspect the Ambulance Divisions and to congratulate them on their smart and efficient appearance and to assure th m of the interest and appreciation you always feel for their work and for the manner in which they are upholding its ideals. The St. John Ambulance Association throughout Canada extended to me a most hearty and friendly welcome, as did also many of the big

commercial and railway companies, and I am hoping that the visitwhich to me was entirely pleasant and happy-may help to bind more closely in a stronger feeling of esprit de corps all those who have the privilege of belonging to our organization. The Iational Council of Women of Canada did me the honour of making me an Hon. Member after I had addressed their Annual Conference at Vancouver, and were very appreciative of the work that had been accomplished. Next Autumn I am looking forward to visiting India, wh r I am hoping that the work of the Nursing Divisions may be even further increased. I have the honour to remain, ir, Your obedient servant,

R EP ORTS FROM D OM INIONS .

AUSTRALIA.-D r. T. Storie Dixson, the Chief Commissioner for the Brigade Overseas within the Commonwealth of Australia (Western Australia excepted) reports : It will be noted from the New South Wales report that the number of Divisions in that District has been reduced by three, but the total strength of the Divisions in the District has been maintained. The usual Church Parade of this District was held on 20th June at the Cathedral Church of St. Andrew, in the presence of His Excellency the Governor-General, Lord Stonehaven, and Lady Stonehaven; His Excellency Sir Dudley de Chair and Lady de Chair. The annual inspection was unusually well attended, the record being the best since the war. Several Home Brigade members reported at the ew South Wales Headquarters, and have joined Divisions here. Two Cadet DIvisions, one of 30 boys at Glebe, and one of 20 boys at Darlinghurst, have been form d, and the other Ambulance Divisions are taking up the idea cordially. The introduction of a school of instruction for Sergeants and Corporals in the ~ w outh '''ales District was a great success. I gr atly regret that olonel Morgan :'Iartin after about twenty years of most valuable service has felt compelled to resign. As a member of the District Staff he was always ready to hlp, and that with an enthusiasm and a reliability that was moc;! helpful in our Brigade development and encouraging to me as Officer in Charge of the District. The following shield competitions w re held in the ew South 'Vales District, and result d as follows: " Lane :'Iullins," won by Glebe Ambulance Division . " Roth Challenge," won by Marrickville Ambulance Division . " WIth r Memorial," won by Sydney Central Xursing Di,-ision. " Douglas," won by \\'estern Suburbs Tursing Division. ist r Parry, Lady District Officer, was granted leave of absence for six months to visit London Headquarters. Sister Parry visited several of the Brigade Divisions JJ1 England, and has given a glowing report of the hospitality and kindness shown her verywh re by Brigade members. The warmest thanks of the District are tendered for the conrtesy shown to their representative. It is gratifying to know that the Divisions in Victoria and in South Australia are doing well though from the former I haye not actually received a report. The Officer in charge of the South Australia District (Mr. G. F. Hussey, J .P.) tenders his thanks to th racing clubs of that State for the support they have given to the Brigade, and draws attention to the large amount of public duty performed by the 111 mbers of this District . During the course of the year I visited Hobart with the hope of revising Brigade work there, and later met the Divisional Superintendents when I reached l\Ielbourne. I was greatly impressed with the work as carried out in South Africa; over 100 memb rs III Durban and a similar number in Johannesburg meeting me at a social in those respective cities. I need hardly say that when I arrived at St. John's Gate 1 gained much valuable and important information . In anada I similarly receiv d the greatest courtesy and at Toronto, as at Cape Town, where I met Dr. Bennie Hewat, the hief Commissioner for South Africa, I had the privilege of conferring with the Chief Commissioner for Canada and the Commissioner for Ontario, Sir Henry Pellatt, and Dr. C. J. Copp respectively.

CANADA.-D r. C. J. Copp, on behalf of ir Henry V. Mill Pellatt, C.V.O., the Chief Commissioner for the D ominion of Canada, reports : The most outstanding event of the year was the official visit of the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, Brigade Overseas, Mrs. Lancelot Dent, A.R.R.C., whose visit was looked forward to with great interest, and whose time, devoted to inspecting the Nursing Divisions from one end of Canada to the other, brought with it an expression of affection and regard, not only to irs. Dent personally, but to the Order of which we are a part. Mrs. Dent's sincere and gracious interest in all that pertained to the welfare of the ursing Divisions in this extensive dominion, endeared her in the hear ts of all who have had the opportunity of meeting her, and she has left a memory that will ever live as an earnest of the desire on the part of the authorities at the Gate to help our endeavours as m uch as possible.

THE ST.

JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE OVERSEA .

Mrs. Dent arrived in Montreal on Sunday, 16th May, and was received by the Commissioner and the Lady District Superintendent of Quebec District, proceeding at once to the annual Church Parade of the 10ntreal Ambulance and ursing Divisions at the Church of St. James' the Apostle, where the sermon was preached by the Rev. Canon Shatford. She attended the annual Church services of Toronto Corps, 'W innipeg Corps, and in Saskatoon. Everywhere she was received with the best that the Kursing Divisions could give. The inspections of the ursing Divisions were supported by the Ambulance Divisions, and every opportunity was afIorded the members of these Divisions to come in contact with Mrs. Dent's enthusiasm, and to appreciate the bonds which hold together everyone, everywhere, true to the traditions of the Brigade. The annual church parades other than those referred to above, were held on Sunday, 20th June . These parades were well attended. At each service a special sermon is preached, and the high ideals of the Order placed before our members do much to enable them to carryon their work with renewed zeal. The establishment of the Divisions at 31st December, 1926, was 14 .[ ursing Divisions, and 11 Ambulance Divisions, with a membership of 749. There is every prospect, through the visit of ~1rs. Dent, that the algary, Alta. ; Fort William, Ont.; and Regina Sask :J:\ursing Divisions will be r organized; while the Division in Halifax, I .S., has been under the process of reorganization for some time. The new Divisions are Timmins Ambulance Division, and Montreal Central Ambulance Cadet Division. In certain Divisions situated in smaller cities and towns, it has been found exc edingly difficult to maintain interest in the practices and drills because of the limited opportunities for the performance of public duties. It is my endeavour to encourage these Divisions in every possible way because it is in these Districts that the need of First Aid assistance is much more necessary when disasters occur. During the latter part of August, Dr. T. Storie Dixson, hief Commissioner of the Brigade Overseas within the Commomvealth of Australia (\Vest Australia excepted) accompanied by Mrs. Storie Dixson visited Canada for a few days. They were met by the District Superintendent Quebec District and a Guard of Honour composed of the Montreal Ambulance Division, and in Toronto by the Commissioner and a Guard of Honour of the \Vest Toronto Ambulance Division. Dr. T. Storie Dixson 's visit was short, but he brought with him a message of goodwill from our fellow members overseas in the Commonwealth of Australia. The unique celebration of the 50th anniversary of the memDership of the Chief Commissioner for Canada in the Queen's Own Rifles of Canada held at his summer home, King, Ontario, afforded an opportunity for the performanc of public duly as performed in Canada before our Lady Superintendent-in-Chief. On Armistice Day members of nearly every Division attended the local Cenotaph services, placing a wreath in memory of the fallen in the Great \Var, and through the thoughtfulness of the Montreal Central ... -ursing Division a wreath was placed by our Lady Superintendent-in-Chief on the Cenotaph in \Vhitehall, and by our Chief Commissioner for Canada on the Unknown \Vanior's Grave in \Vestminster Abbey on this day. The Brigade Overseas has lost two of its memoership by death, who served their organization well : Ambulance Sister A. M. Dougherty, of Fredricton Nursing Division. Private K. W. W. Smith, of C.P.R. Ambulance Division. The presentation of a beautiful bowl by Mrs. Dent to signalize the memory of her official visit to Canada will perpetuate the inspiration derived from that visit. It is for competition among the 'ursing Divisions to be award ed to the Division showing the greatest ability in Executive and Ambulance abilities. It will mean the maintenance of the standard she set before all Divisions of perfection and of service. It is pleasing to note from the annual returns the number of members who are recorded as efficient. You will be proud of the services rendered. They have been given in an unostentatious mannet in the true spirit of the Order. I am certain that the maintenance of the standard of efficiency set is essential to the well-being of the Brigade Overseas in this country.

INDIA.-Sir Henry Moncrieff Smith, C.I.E., the Chief Commissioner of the Brigade Overseas for the Empire of India, reports:This is the third report of the work of the Brigade Overseas in India since its resuscitation after the Great War, which, together with its consequences, dislocated

for a time the activities of voluntary organizations of this kind. In the first report we pointed out the difficulties with which we were faced in 1924, as a r~su1t of ~he occupation of our workers with the nee~s of the war and the consequ~nt.l~att~ntlOn to the various d tails of this part of theIr charge. But ,,~e. took an ophm~shc v~ew of the future of our work and relied on the loyalty and ablhty of our coadjutors III the Districts. The lasl report submitted in my absence by Major-General O. L. Robinson, C.B. C.M.G. had shown that there was some justiflcation of our hopes. I~ the report for the year 1924, we recor~ed the ~xistence of 35 Divi~ions, including two ursing Divisions. \ Ve were not anxlOUS to lllcrease the nu.mencal strength. of divisional units through any special effort on our own part, but dIrected our energles to increasing the efficiency of the existi~g ones i?- the hope that the activi~ies ?f t~ese units might stimulate a spontaneous lllterest lll. the usefulness of su.ch lllshtutlOns 'which would favour the establishment of new ullltS on a stronger basIs. As already mention d in the report for 1925, in carrying out this aim we found it necessary to take disciplinary measures against several .o~ ?ur officers and ~en and ~ad to recommend the disbandment of some of the DIvlslOns. I refer to thIS matter III the present reporl for the purpose of iniorming you that the action so far t~k~n has been justified by the results; the recalcitrant elem~nt has gradually been ehmlllated f!o.m the organization, leading to greater harmony III t~e se~era.l br<l:nches of our adffillllstration. There still r mains something to be done III thls dlrectlOn. The tot.al number of Divi ions had increased to 40, including :five ursing Divisions, by the end of 1925, and it has remained the same up to the end of 1926 . T~e .n:ost noteworthy feat.ure of this increase wa~ th: est<l:b~is.hment of ~wo Cade~ DlVlSlons in connexion WIth an Ambulance and 1\urslllg DlvlSlOn respect.lvely, WhICh enables us to shar with Australia and South Africa the credit of being the first in the field in this respect. The total membership has been over 1,500 . . Of the forty Dlvlsions on our list at th.e eJ?-d of 1926, we have no~ ~e~elved retu~ns in re pect of SIX belonging to the ~o. 2 DIstnct. Two Ambulance DIvlSlOns beionglllg to ~ -0.3, Dl tnct hayc become d funct; these are the Hindu B and Baroda Divisions, from which returns ha,-e not been received in either of the last two years. Steps will be taken elther to revive them or to recommend their removal from the list. \Yith the exception of the :No . 3 District, .the administration of all. Di~tricts remained wIth th same Officers as in the prevlOus year. In the No.3 Dlstnct we lost th serVlces of Sir Lawless Hepper, who left India on retirement on the 30th Ko" mber, 1926, after serving the Brigade as Assistant Commissioner for exactly two year ' lle assum d office at a time of difficulty,. but s~cceeded in easing the situation to a great extent. He was suc~ee.ded by SIr. Reglllaid ~penc~. I take this opportulllty of recording my appreclatlOn of the lllt~rest ":r hlch SIr ~a~less took in the affaIrs of the Brigade as well as my thanks to SIr Reglllaid for Wllllllgly responding t.o our invitation to succeed Sir Lawless. I give below a resume of the District activities:-

l':o . 1 Dlslrict . -The activities of this District were confined to three ambulance Divisions of the ... Torth vVestern Railway, and one ursing Division with Headquarters at Simla and sections at Delhi and Lahore. The ursing Division and the Indian Division again prov d to be the most prominent units in this Distric~ . . The revort of the Punjab Provincial Centre of the St: J ohn A~~ulance Assocla~lOn (~ndian Council) for the year 1926, stat d that besldes orgalllzlllg c~asses for Fl~St ~ld and Home I Tursmg the Nursing Division organized ~emonstratlOns of nur.slllg III connexion with thc Delhi and Simla Baby \ eek, WhICh were much apprecIated by the public. Irs . Batlye, the Lady District Superintendent, is t? be ~0J?-~atula~ed on the success which has attended her efforts in bringing the Nurslllg DlvlslOn to ItS present position. . ... The Assistant Commissioner reports very highly of the work of the Indla?- ~lVlsl~n. It took such opportunities as arose to show the practical value of the trallllng. of ItS members by rendering efficient First Aid to the su.fferers from a bomb explo~l(:~n. at Lahore; and again on the occasion of a railway aCCident when a tea~ ,?f the DlvlslOn was travelling to 1adras to attend the All-India Ambulance CompetltlOns. A squad was detailed for duty on the occasion of the openiI?-g cere~ony ~f the Ka~g~a Valley Railway, and the Division performed useful publIc serVIce dunng the VISIt of His Excellency the Viceroy to Lahore. . I inspected the Indian Division on the 13th ovembe~, 1926, when R .. L. N. Vaid, the Superintendent, arranged for a parade of all the avaIlable men. Thl~ty-two men turned out on parade, and at my request, gave demonstrations of therr work, and I

answered various questions. I found the Division very intc11ig nt and was particularly pleased to note the spirit of keenness which pervadcl all the men. The A sistant ommissioner held annual inspections of the three North-\Vestern Railway Divisions in Tovember, and he was pleased to record that all the Divisions possessed a sound working knowledge of First Aid and Brigade duties.

o. 2 District.-The Commissioner has reported that during th year under review, the sLxteen Divisions in tIils Di trict have shown great activity. The members have attend d a v ry large number of individual cases, r ndering first aid and attending to the sick, besides public duties p donned on various occ::tsions such as fairs, public gatherings, tc., in Calcutta, and in different parts of the province . These activities have brought the Brigade prominently b fore the public, r sulLing in greater demand for the services of its members. Both the European and Indian Divisions have continueu. to flourish . At one time it appeared that the Indian Division would hardly survive the loss sufI reel by it last year in the death of Iiss C. \V. Ewing, but it was fortunat in enlisting the services of 1\1rs. York, who willingly joined as its Superintendent, nabling the Division to carryon its work as efficiently as ever. Drills have been regularly held. The Sambhu ath Pundit Hospital, t.he Ambulance Sister's Babv and Ant.e -Xatal Clinic and the Speeding and Greeting Corp all r ceived from the European ?\ursing Division the same support as they had received in the l)ast. Irs. Smith's excell nt services to the Hospital have been rewarded by the <';o\'ernment by the award of the title of M.B.E. in the Birthday Honours List. The Inclian Division deput cl its members to assist the Municipal authorities in nursing patients during the b ri-ben outbreak, and this was much appreciated. No. 3 District.-During the year under report the District hac! on its roll one Nursing, two Cadet, and eleven Ambulance Divisions. Of th laLL r, as mention d above, the Hindu B and the Baroda ha,·e b come defunct. Th members of thi' District have on several occasions had to p rform public duties. About 300 cas '5 of accidents and sudden illness were reported to have been treated, chiefly during the pilgrim fairs, and the members assist.ed in the transport of 471 patients and invalids from one place to another. The f::tct that 1 Service:\1 d::tl Bars, 8 Service Medals, and 51 Service Badges were awarded to the members of this District testifies to their efficiency. Cadet Divisions attached to t.he Parsi Ambulance and Parsi )Jurs1l1g Di\'isions completed the first year of their xistence. That the Cadets haye mall1lain 'cl their enthusiasm is indicated by the results of their examinations. Til Parsi ad t Ambulance Division held a Camp of Instruction during the last hri tmas holiclavs, anll it is reported that this has resulted in fresh nrolments. The hmedabad I)ivisioll is also contemplating the formation of a Cadet Division, and it is hoped that tl1i proposal will materialize before long. No.4 District.- This District consists of six Divisions, known collectiveh· as the Madras Ambulance Corps. . During the year under review, the Corps helel 39 parades and two insp clions, and treated 1,022 cases of accidents. The members also inspect d 443 houses and delivered four health lectures besides being on duty during t.he local tournaments and sea bathing festivals. The services of the 'orps were as usual requisilion cl for several local public ~unctions, and on every occasion the members acquitted th mselves creditably. I have narrated above the salient feature of the activities of th Brigade O\'erseas in the Empire of India during the year 1926. Statistical details are contamed Oll the various returns. The benefits to be derived from this useful organization an' being gradually appreciated and the years'work bears evidence of a further awakening of interest in this direction. I have already ment.ioned that the loyalt.y and ability of our represe ntatives ill the Districts have enabled us to arrive at our present position. I feel happy to say that they are in no way growing weary of well doing, but are as keen as vcr in securing that steady growth which will accelerate the realization of the ideal set forth in our report for 1924, that the Brigade organization in India should, in course of time, become one of the best organizations in the Empire. Our grateful thanks are due to all of them. Besides the Commissioner of the No.2 District, Sir Alexander Murray, and the Assistant Commissioners, Sir Reginald Spence and Major-General Hutchinson, C.LE., LM.S., of No.2 and o. 4 Districts respectively, we are specially indebted to Colonel R. A. Teedham, C.LE., D.S.O., t.he Assistant

Mention was made in the last annual report of t.he work carried out by members of the Brigade in connexion with the New Z aland and South Seas International Exhibition at Dunedin, but as the Exhibition was then running, it was not possible to give full particulars as to the services r ndered. It is now pleasing to be able t.o state that during t.he p riod of five and a half monlhs that t.he Exhibition was open 1,332 cases were treated. A considerable number were of course of a minor nat.ure but on the other hand some were fairly serious. The attendance of the public during the currency of the Exhibition was 3,000,000, so that the proportion of accidents was comparatively light. As previously explained, the ambulance station was provided by the Directors of the Exhibition, while the local entre of the Association rendered assistance in the matter of equipment. The m mbers of the Dunedin and Caversham Jursing Divisions took duty during the day, while tl1 men of the Dunedin Ambulance Division, supplemented by a certain numb r of ambulance sisters, were in attendance each evening. It is difficult to discriminate, but m ntion should be made of the careful organization and work of the Supcrinlcnc1 nls of the , 'arious Divisions. There is no doubt that the practical xperience gain d by members will be of great benefit to them, and it is pleasing to know that the ExhibItion authorities ha\'e suitably recognized the work done, while many xprcs ions of appreciation have come from the general public. ' The Central Stores Depot at Christchurch has continued to do good work 1h re has been a steady demand during the year, e pecially for the various r quisitcs connected with uniforms, and quite a number of articles have be n i su d. Ambulance Competitions took place at Auckland on East r alurciay, and w re of special interest from the fact that they developed into what may be t nilccl" InterColonial Competitions" owing to the pres nce of a team from the Glebe Divi ion, Sydney, New South vVales. This was the first occasion thal a team from outsid the Dominion has taken part in any of our competitions. Th ~ \,1 ltors referreel to succeeded in being the first winn rs of th .. Inter-Colonial hallcnge up , . Ambulance Competitions were also held at \Y llington on the 5th ancl6th ~o,' mber, and were very successful. As forecasted in my last annual report, the :L\ew Zealand Go,' rnm nt Hadways Department has now adopted a comprehensive sch mc for ambulan e tralI1ing far the members of the staff. Classes will be organiz d under St. John rcgulatlOns at all the larger centres, and those gaining certificates will be aftenvards form "d into Divisions of the Brigade. An organizing officer has been sclcct d and is alread,' at work visiting the various towns in connexion with the inauguratIOn of tll schcm '. The step taken marks an important advance in ambulance work in the Dom1l1ion . Her Excellency Lady Alice Fergusson, Patroness of _' ursing orps and DlvlsIOns in the Dominion, has shown her inter st 111 the work by lllSpcctl11g the ~ ·ur ing Divisions at Auckland and vYellington during the ycar. Th re were larg numb rs of members on both occasions, and Her Excellency was k enl" interc t cl 111 the practical work which was carried out, and compl;i-nentcd the -members on thclr efficiency. My best thanks are due to the members of the Brigade staff in the various districts for their support during the year.

SOUTH AFRICA.-Lieut.-Colonel W. Booth Skinner, D .. 0., M.B .. Surgeon-in-Chief for South Africa, on behalf of Dr. Bennie Hevvat, Chief Commissioner for South Africa, reports : On the 14th September, accompanied by Ir. Dowthwaite, District Sup rintendent, S .A. Headquarters Staff, I made a tour of the Union, returning to Cape Town on 6th October. During this time we travelled nearly 4,000 miles, and inspected 47 Divisions throughout the Union. Since my return I have inspected eleven Divisions in the Cape Peninsular, and made a special trip to Worcester, making a total of 59 Divisions inspected. There are now 72 Divisions and three Sections of Divisions in South Africa, and it will be n oted that the work of the S1.. J ohn Ambulance Brigade has shown considerable progress during the year. Our first stop was at Uitenhage, where one Ambulance and one Nursing Division were inspected: all memb ~rs were keen and efficient. We then went on to Port Elizabeth, where I was pleased with the work done by the Y.W.C.A. Division. In addition to the ordinary inspection work, the Division had set out a table exhibition of all the delicacies made in accordance with the recipes in the Home Nursing

text-book, and each item was as near perfection as possible. The two Railway Divisions (Ambulance and ursin g) were also inspected, and I was pleased to learn that a new Division of male factory employees was in course of formation. Proceeding to East London, a joint inspection was held of the two ursing and one Ambulance Division. The entire appearance of all members on parade was particularly good. Leaving East London by sea, we proceeded to Durban, and on 20th September, I inspected the ten Divisions now registered in that town. Major H. Tener Galbraith, Assistant Commissioner, was in charge of the parade, which was very successfully carried through . I was particularly pleased with the appearance and keeness of the Boy and Girl Cadets. We proceeded by rail to l\1aritzburg, where I inspected the two Ambulance and one ~ursing Division, and met Dr. May, the District Surgeon, Natal District. On the journey to Eroonstad the train was very considerably delayed owing to alteratlOns in the p rmanent way, and th inspection was held on Kroonstad Railway Station at about 11 p.m., in the moonlight. In spite of this late hour, 19 members of th1s Division ·were on parade. At Pretoria th ;'Iunicipal Fire Brigade Division was visited during the aft rnoon, and an inspcction was held in the evening of the Government Printing Works Division, and the Railway Ambulance and Xursing Divisions. ~ext ev ning w r ached )'Iafeking, and again the train was late, but the Division was waiting in the Institute Hall. After the inspection was successfully carried through some members of the Division staged a One Act Humorous Skit, " First Aid in the Stone Age," which was very amusing. Returning next day we reached Krugersdorp, and at the time of the inspection a " n' s v re thundcrstorm fused all the lights of the town. The inspectIOn was t h refor held under difficulties with the help of lanterns and torches and it speaks \\ '11 for the enthusiasm of this Division that, in spite of the terrific downpour 28 m mber wcr pr s nt out of a tr ngth of 32, I also noted that this Division is th onlvon m South Africa wlth a band (a Drum and Bugle Band). Two days lat.er, on ;'Ionday, 27th September, the Inspection of the Johannesburg Dl\'isions 'was hid . This was divided for convenience into two sections, the men being mspect d m t.he Railway Drill IIall and the women in the Railway Institute Hall. LieuL- 01.

The Divisions prescnt wcr the Johannesburg Park (S. .R. & H.), Transportation (S.A.R . & H .), 1st Johann sburg Town (Transvaal), and 1st Johannesburg Police (Transvaal) _\mbulanc DiviSIOns, and the Johannesburg (S.A.R. & H.), 1st Johannesburg Town (Transvaal) and ... ~orwood (Transvaal) Nursing Divisions. Th n xt msp ction took place at Kimberl y. Mr. Alpheus vVilliams, Assistant Commi Slon r, Cape Province District, was in charge. Others present included ~Irs. Williams, Lady District Superintendent, B. H. Giddy, District Superintendent, and the remainmg District and Corps Officers. The Divisions present were the Kimbcrl y (S.A.R. & H.) and Kimberley Police Ambulance Divisions, and th~ six .Ambulanc and one Nursing Division of the Kimberley Corps (Cape Provlllce District). The next evening the inspection took place at Bloemfontein, the Very Rev. Dean ~'eekes, Assistant omrnissioner Orange Free State District, being in charge of the parade, orps Sup rintendent Rolfe being present. The Divisions inspected were the Bloemfont in ( . A. R. and H, District) and Bloemfontein City (O.F.S. District) Ambulance Divisions, and the City Home Tursing Division (O.F.S. District). On the following day, the 30th September, the Annual Meeting of the Central Council for South Africa was held at Bloemfontein, followed during the two succeeding days by the senior competitions for the Selborne Ambulance and Hewat ... lusing Shields, the Lady Price Cookery Trophy, and the competitions organized by the Joint Cou ncil of St. John and Red Cross. I am very pleased to report that the work for these trophies showed a high standard of efficiency, and in its contests with the R d Cross detachments the St. J ohn teams took first place in the ' ursing a nd second place in the Ambulance tests. After returning to Cape Town arrangements were made for the inspection of the Divisions in the Cape Peninsular, of which there are now eleven reglstered. These were taken in two sections.

Corps are distinguished by heavy type.

Endeavours are being mad to consolidatc t.he xisting Divisions before trying ex-pand othenvise. Training has been carried out r gularly except by th Hamrun Division, which owing to want of suitable premises and difficulty of finding suitablc t.im s for me ting has not been able to recommence training. The formation of Cadet Divisions has be n hampcred by the xistence of ot.her similar institutions. Four Service Iedals were awarded during the year to memb rs of the Corps. The Corps is very much handicapped by the want of funds. TO public duties were undertaken during the year, but m mb rs a1.1.endedto various cas ·s, both FIrst Aid and Home ursing, privately.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER.

BRIGADE HEADQUARTERS, T. JOHN'S GATE,

31st December, 1926. THE DIRECTOR OF THE AMBULANCE DEPARTME~T, ORDER OF ST. JOH ' .

Sir, I have the honour to submit my third Annual Report as Acting Chief Commissioner of the St. John Ambulance Brigade. Previous to the outbreak of the Great \Var of 191-1- 18 the Brigade had been steadily increasing in numbers and efficiency and at the end of 1913 its strength was approximately 25 ,000. During the period of the "var its numbers were yery greatly increased, in spite of the large proportion of its old members who joined the fighting forces of the Crown or for various reasons temporarily ceased to be shown on its RolL and reached at one time nearly 60,000. From 1919 down to 1922 there was a rapid drop in its members, which had by then fallen to 36,000. It is most encouraging to find from 1923 onwards that the steady increase both in its number of units and membership has been maintained, and that there is every prospect of this continuing in the future. The net increase during the year 1926 is as follows . STRENCTH . Ambulance Divisions, 45; Nursing Divisions 1; total 49 ; Personnel, 3,0-14. The following table shows the position of the Brigade at the end of the year under review :England Wales Ireland.

The Cadet movement has now been in existence for four years, and is steadily increasing in strength and popularity. Satisfactory reports have been received of the number of Cadets who join the parent body on attaining the age of 18 years and the value of the movement as a recruiting ground. There is a marked increase in the interest taken in the Cadets by the Municipal and other authorities, which publish reports and leaflets in connexion with the Juvenile Organization Committee under the Board of Trade. During the year 37 Cadet Ambulance and 12 Cadet Nursing Divisions have been added to the Roll, the net increase in personnel being 1,164. ADEl8

The Sub-Prior, acting on behalf of His Royal Highness . The Grand Prior,has approved the f 0 11owing appomtments:Colonel Clarence Isidore Ellis, C.M.G., T.D., M.D., C.M., A.M.S. (T.A.), to be Assistant urgeon-in-Chief, 19th February, 1926. Herbert Langley-Jones to be Assistant Commissioner for the County of Essex, No. 10 District, 19th February, 1926.

Pengelly to be temporarily Acting Assistant Commissioner for the County of Devon during Assistant Commissioner H. V. ~1ill er's absence, 19th "ovember, 1926.

ApPOINTMENTS .

Report of the Chief Commissioner.

As:>i tant Commissioner Lieut.-Col. H. G. Norman White, .D. Brigade Overseas, transferred to the Brigade at Home as s istant Commissioner for the County of Hants, 19th November, 192G, vice Assistant Commissioner F. C. "Bottomley, O.B.E., M.D., reverted to County urgeon for Hampshire at his own request.

TRANSfeR.

It is with much regret that I have to report the death of Commissioner the Rev. W. Dore Rudgard, No. 3 (,,'estern) District. Mr. Rudgard had given many years of service 111 the interest and welfare of the Brigade, and the present high position the Brigade holds in the ~1idlands is due in no small measure to his zeal and energy. By hi death the Brigade has lost a much respected Officer and friend.

OBI T UARY.

The continued increase in the number of accidents due to motor traffic have made heavy demands on the services of the Brigade, and I am glad to be able to report that all such calls have invariably been met, however great the personal sacrifice of time or money. During the year the Brigade has carried out an immense amount of public service some of it of an exceptional nature, but it would be invidious to mention a few when all have met the direct demands on their services. From reports received the Brigade attended to 282,977 cases of accidents and sudden illness during the past 12 months.

PU BLIC DuTY.

The efforts of the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief to obtain practical hospital instruction for members of Nursing Divisions continues to bear fruit, and I am pleased that such a large number of members are availing themselves of the opportunities presented to gain a further knowledge in the care of invalids.

!he Motor Ambulance Transport continues to develop m a atisfactory manner, and several new ambulances TRANSPORT. have been presented to Units of the Brigade during the year. uch gifts usually replace Home Service Ambulance Cars, which are then free for issue to other units and has a marked effect on increasing the net work of the cars throughout the country. MOTOR

The scheme of co-operation between local unit of the Brigade and Life-boat tations, initiated by ROYAL NATIONAL LIFE· the Brigade. has made considerable progress during BOAT INSTITUTION. the year, and the majority of Life-boat tations haye completed the necessary arrangements for calling upon the services of members of the Brigade in the eyent of "''recks. In places where both units of the Brigade and detachments of the British Red Cross ociety exist, joint action has been advised. The Committee of the Institution has expressed its appreciation of the co-operation afforded by units of the Order and ociety.

CO·OPERATION WITH T HE

His Royal Highness Prince Henry inspected the Prince of \ Yales' District in Hyde Park. The continued interest of member of the Order, hO\vn in a practical way by their pre ence at this inspection, is much appreciated, and enables the Brigade to feel that it is a credit to the Order under which it has the honour to serve. During the past tweh'e months I inspected the following units. \Vorcestershire Division) .E. Lancs. Corps and its units, Yorkshire Units at Shipley. In all cases I found a distinct advance in all features of Brigade work and a very high standard of keenness in that work. Colonel G. A. Moore, the Deputy Chief Commissioner, made the following inspections on my behalf: Bristol Corps, Cheshire Corps and Divisions, Irish District. Colonel Ellis, the Assistant Surgeon-in-Chief, inspected the Borough of Plymouth Corps. By kind permission of Major-General C. Corkran, the Commissioner, No. 11 District, held a successful combined parade in the grounds of Sandhurst College, Camberley. Colonel Moore and Colonel Ellis were able to give equally satisfactory reports of t he Units which they inspected. I am of t h e opinion that combined parades are a great factor in fostering and promoting esprit de corps, which is so marked throughout t h e Brigade. A striking feat ure on all occasions is the high esteem in which all ranks hold their respective Commissioners.

The hields, Cups, and Prizes \vere presented by H.R.H. Princess Arthur of Connaught. . A feature of this year's Competition was the presentatIOn of the " Corbet Fletcher" Trophy. This trophy, in the form of a handsome sil\'er cup, had been presented to Dr. Corbet Fletcher by his friends as a token of appreciation of his work for the Ambulance movement, and was offered bv him to the Brigade for competition. As Chtef Commissioner, I had much pleasure in accepting the Cup on behalf of the Brigade, and agreed that in future the trophy shall be awarded to the second team in the "Perrott" Challenge Shield Competnion. . . ...-\n innoyation \Va introduced into the CompetItIons, thanks to the enthusia 111 and generosity of Jlr. J. Grossman who made it possible to use the film in competition work thus enabling competing teams to ".;itnes th accident to which they had afterwards to give their attention. The standard attained and the increasing enthusiasm shown are a cause for areat a'tisfaction, and I look forward to the time when all units of of the Brigade will enter teams for their local trophies and aspire to the honour of representing their District in London. This happy state of affairs can only be made possible by capable organization with good judges and well-thought-out test. I am particularly grateful to the Judges Committee who ·were responsible for the admirable tests and to my organizing staff for the efficient and smooth conduct of the Competitions. 11y thanks are due to the Judges for the splendid service they rendered to the Brigade. J udges are hard-working people and have often to leave work behind them. Judging is a continual strain because the work of competitors had to be watched from so many points of view and faults of omission and commission had to be taken into consideration. That the Judges carried out their duty in a conscientious and thorough manner is e\'ident from the confidence which the competing teams placed in their final decision. Thanks to donation received from well-wishers of the Brigade and the public generally, more units are finding it possible to procure permanent homes in which to hold their drills and practices and meet together for recreation. The comforts of a settled home react on the efficiency and utility of a unit, and cases have come to my knowledge where Divisions practically moribund before, haye become live units once they obtained facilities to combine their individual efforts AMBULANCE HALLS .

THE ST.

JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

I have instituted an Album of Brigade Ambulance Halls ; giving information regarding cost and present-day value. The Royal Naval Auxiliary Sick Berth R eserve continues to maintain the same high standard of efficIency, and I cannot do better than to append extracts from the Inspecting :J,ledical Officer's R eport for the period under review :"Strength.-The R eserve has been maintained at full strength throughout the year, and on 31st December there wer 11 "1 names on the "Waiting List". " Training.-997 Reservists have undergone training during the year. This represents 78 '2 per cent. of the total complement with 79' 15 per cent. in 1925, and 76'9 per cent. in 192-1. " As in the last three years, a large number of m n were unable to train owing to the prevalence of mall pox in the district in which they lived. " The districts chiefly affected were A hington and Houghton-le- pring, involving 65 men; but other districts were temporarily afi cted and prevented some 70 other men from attending training. " Deducting this total of 135 from the total complement, 7' J P r cent. trained out of those permitted to train." " Inspections.-During the year it was decided to abandon the cheme of holding annual inspections, as they served no u ef ul purpose. Inspections will, in future, be carried out only whcn and a found necessary.' , "General.-In conclusion , I ha\'e to report, as Inspecting Jledical Officer, that the R . J.A.S.B.R. is up to full strength and is r ady for immediate service." It is with much regret I have to report the retirement of urge onCommander G. O. M. Dickenson as In pecting :Jl dical Oftic r at the Admiralty. I feel sure the whole Reserve will as.ociate itself with me in placing on record our very high appreciation of his valuable services to the Brigade during the t erm of his office as Inspecting Medical Officer. This Officer was held in high esteem by all with whom he had to deal, and it i hoped that he will continue to show the same kindly interest in the future as has been the case during the past.

RESERVES.

During the year 316 volunteers have joined th e Reserve. The age limit for enrolment has b en raised to L15, RESERVE . Reservists being allowed to remain members until attaining the age of 55 years. It had been hoped that a larger and earlier response would have been made to the invitation of the \Var Office to enrol in this Reserve, which is limited in England to members of the Brigade. MILITARY

HOSPITALS

In view of the increasing number of road accidents, due to modern traffic conditions, a general scheme has been devised by the Home Service Ambulance Committee under the title of " Road Service". The object of this scheme is, with the co-operation of the motoring organizations, to link up the existing Ambulance Stations by "First Aid Posts", each post consisting of p ersonnel and equipment and patrols. ROAD SERVICE SCHEME.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER.

For some years past local Divi sions have in various areas undertaken this work, and this scheme, which is open to Divisio ns of the Brigade and Detachments of the British R ed Cross Society, may be regarded as an extension of this work on a County basis. Arrangemen ts have been made between the Ambulance GIRL GUIDES. Departm en t of the Order and the Girl Guides' Association for members of Nursing Divisions of the Brigade to attend Girl Guide Camps by invitation for the purpose of rendering any first aid that may be necessary. This arrangement has been welcomed by our Nursing Divisions, and H eadquarters has already received the names of many applicants for thi duty. GENERAL In the autumn of 1925 it appeared possible that there STRIKE. might be industrial trouble, more especially in the coalfields in the spring of 1926. I therefore issued a m emorandum defining the correct attitude of memb rs of the Brigade if such should occur. I am glad to be able to report that throughout the General Strike in all parts of England the nits of the Brigade were able to carry out their work of First Aid with the sympathy and help of all sections of the community. In the 1 tropolitan Area,the Authorities entrust ed to the Commissioner of .I.. o. 1 District the responsibility for dealing with all street casualties due to rioting, and in addition the District was called on to furnish complete detachments in charge of :Jledical Officers to attend to the health of the unit of pecial Constables whch occupied various large buildings in London. o. 1 Di trict maintained a detachment at its H eadquarters with sufficient motor-cars to enable it to move at short notice to any place where its services might be required. The \vhole of the Metropolitan Divisions were mobilized and prepared to render service and several of them rendered noteworthy help vhere casualties were numerous. At the reque t of the Home Office a detachment was placed under canvas in H yde Park in sole medical charge of the hospital and sanitary requirements of the ilIilk Combine, and this arrangement was continued after the arrival of a considerable military force. Another detachment was furnished for Regents Park, and others had been arranged for when the General Strike happily came to an end. It i significant of the general respect in which the work of the Brigade is held that the majority of its members who did duty during the strike were themselves on strike by the orders of their unions , and that on every occasion on which our stretcher bearers had to penetrate excited crowds to remove the injured the fighting ceased in their immediate neighbourhood until their tasks was completed. The whole experience of this period emphasized the absolute necessity for our uniform and for it being well known to all sections of the public. The work of the Brigade during this period was greatly assisted by a voluntary service of private cars driven by their owners, and I am glad to report that owing to the respect· sho'wn to the badge of the Order no damage was sustained in the performance of this voluntary duty. The work of the Brigade Units in the different areas are brought to notice by their respective Commissioners.

From reports received the finances of the Brigade continue to remain in a healthy state. That the enits are able to equip its members, purcha~e its own ambulance materiaL and generally keep themselves out of debt. reflects great credit upon the Brigade generally and the Units in particular. I am particularly pleased to see that Units are giving a larger amount of support financially to their District or County Headquarters. To maintain an fficient District or County Headquarters means money, and as a Commi sioner is loth to appeal to the public for funds O'\'er the heads of his units, it i only right for him to expect financial support from them. and I commend this fact to the notice of Units which, for some unknown cause. hay failed to support their Commissioner in the past. FINANCE .

GENERAL.

To all Officers, rank and file, an d Ambulance isters the greatest credit is due for the satisfactory condition of

the Brigade. The ready response to my request for the prompt rendering of the yearly returns has lightened the vlork of the Brigade Headquarters Staff by enabling these returns to be dealt with before the busy pring months have arrived. I have the honour to be, ir, Your obedient servant, (Sgd.) P. S. WILKIN SO .. -, !l1ajar-General. Acting Chief Commissioner.

Sir I have the honour to submit my report for the year ended 1926. During the year I inspected the following Nursing Division: iO. 1 District: Croydon, outhall. ~ o. 2 District: Cheltenham, Bristol. -o. 3 District: Leicester Corps, comprising" Arthur Faire ", Hinckley, Leiceste.::-, Sargent and Vaughan College, and also Coalville and t. Mary's. o. 9 District: Plymouth Co-operative and Friary Nursing Divisions with the Plymouth Central, Devonport, \Vycliffe, Princess treet, Sherwell, and Ford Cadet Divisions. Lady District Officer Viscountess Mountgarret inspected on my behalf the Birmingham Corps comprising Headquarters, Bourneville, Central, Edgbaston Erdington, Handsworth, elson, \\Tinchester House with the Dunlop ection. I also had the pleasure of visiting the new Minehead ursing Division. !he m m?ers \vere hardly ready for an Inspection, as they were only Just formmg. but I hope under the able management of Sister Poole they will find plenty of inspiration, and there is no doubt there will be pI nty of work. omerset is such a scattered countv and what with polo. hunting. etc .. and the long distances very o{t~n from medical assistance, it is imperative in these country neighbourhoods to press on and try to form at least sections of divisions of the Brigade. INSPECTIONS .

Again this year the enthusiasm of our members working in the Civil Hospitals is as keen as ever. They have been a.tten~ing the follO\:\:ing hospitals: The London , which again heads the 11. t wlth 1.708 attendance ; Charing Cross, the Royal Free, Middlesex, \rille den G neral Kensington, Fulham and Chelsea GeneraL St. James, Balham. and t. "jIary's for 'Nomen and Children. Plaistow. These are in the London area, and many more members are doing the same in the large proyincial ho pitals. ~\ ~ w departure was that the }Iatron of the London Temperance HospItal requested me to supply her with two regular resident members from) une to eptember inclusive. I thought it was only right to give the provmces equal chance to undertake this very useful 'work as were oiven to the London members and I am proud to sav we were able to upply the ~Iatron with two members for the whole period for which she asked for them. The e members had to take the place of the nurses who were a\vay on holiday and do the ordinary routine work of the v,;ards. A large number applied through their Commissioners, but TO. 5 District was so. expeditious in their arr~ngements that they had the privilege of supp~ 'mg all the members, ~emg the first to apply, with the exception of :VIISS Jane, the Lady upermtendent of the Torquay "'ursing Division. The Matron was so pleased with their work that she hopes this will become an annual arrangement. HOSPITALS .

Again this year many of our Lady District Superintenand Lady District Officers came up to help WIth the CompetItIon for the Perrott Shield. Ladv District Superintendent No.4 District, Mrs. Tweedale, A.R.R.C., J.P., together T H E PERROTT

with Lady District Superintendent No.8 District, Mrs. Falwasser, were in charge of the general arrangements on the day. I consider this a most important gathering, a it enables our workers from all over the country to get together and know each other, even if we are only able to ask th m to undertake quite small duties. The judges for the competition were Miss Cockrane, R .R .C., :\1atron of Charing Cross Hospital, and :Miss Ray, Matron of t . Mary's H ospital for Women and Children, Plaistow. The Shield was won by the team representing the Hampstead . . ursing Division, which gained 687 marks. This team was followed by the Liverpool team with 628 marks. Her Royal Highness Princess Arthur of Connaught presented the hield and prize~ . I am extremely glad to report the very friendly agreement come to between the St. ] ohn Ambulance Brigade and the great organization of the Girl Guides. We hope Cadet Divisions of the Brigade may be formed by members of the Girl Guides, and also that many will j oin our Cadet Divisions. They will be allowed to wear their own uniform with the addition of the St . ] ohn Ambulance Brigade Cadet badge. I am sure thi5 arrangement will be of the greatest benefit to both thesp great organizations ; the Guides will get the experience and training which is so valuable and which the Brigade is able to give in F irst id and . ursing, and the Brigade will benefit by the natural enthusiasm of the Girl Guide. It has also been arranged with the Girl Guides' Organization that they can apply to my office for members of the Brigade willing to attend the Girl Guide Camps to look after the health of the girls. The Girl Guides' Organization will provide board and lodging, and when nece sary travelling expenses for our members attending these camps. I am hopeful of receiving good lists from th e different Districts of member. who will undertake this useful work, so that we may be able t o respond to any applications which may b e made during the coming year. I cannot close this report without expressing my great appreciation of the tremendous help given on the women's side of the Brigade by our so efficient and keen Lady District Superintendents and Officers. One and all never spare themselves but are always ready to d0 their utmo t to help on the work. I have the honour to be, ir, Your obedient servant, ETHEL PERROTT, Lady Superintendent-in-Ch;ef .

Copy of report from Lieut.-Col. Francis A. Brooks, Assistant Commissioner for WESTER AREA. 17th March, 1927. "I beg to report that during the year the efficiency of the Divisions in the Western Area has been maintained, and in some respects has been improved. The number of non-efficients has been r educed, and the total in the Area is now 760. .. Every Division, both Ambulance and ursing, has been separately inspected, which, from the remarks that are made afterwards, is much appreciated by them, and enables me to send a full report to you on each Division. "The Western Area Gazette appears monthly and is a means by which I can draw attention to points that require improvement, and has already borne fruit, as I have learnt when conducting re-examinations. "Stretcher Drill is still not done as well as it should be by some Divisions, and I am trying to rectify this by special visits of myself and my Staff Officer. " During the General Strike the vVestern Area did a large amount of work, and two members were awarded the Vellum Vote of Thanks by the Chapter-General. " District Officer F. \V. Clifford and Lady District Officer Miss Twiss are most active in carrying out my instructions in a very loyal manner.' Copy of report from Assistant Commissioner Cecil AREA .

My Lady District Officer Miss Hoare, l\I.B.E., and I have inspected most of the Divisions in the Area, some on two or three occasions. .. The response to the call of the Public Duty Officer has been satisfactorily met by all. .. ~lany of the Nursing Divisions have worked hard and r endered good service at various hospitals. In several of these the authorities have come to depend on our Nurses reheving the Ho pital urses on certain occasions. .. I have to record the fact for the second successive year that No. 16, Hampstead .r ursing DiviSIOn, were the winners of the Perrott Shield. " The Social SIde of the Area's activities has been well maintained. Many social evenmgs have been held, and have been instrumental in bringing members together to the ad van tage of the Area and District. " I am pleas d to report that an Ambulance Division has been completed in Flnchley, and I trust will soon become well established there. " I beg to enclose a record of the strength of Divisions in orthern Area. " I have personally held two courses of Lectures on First Aid, and several other Courses in First AId and Home .r ursing have been given by other Surgeons. " I desire to express my gratitude to my Lady District Officer, l\Iiss Hoare, and to all the Officers of the Area for their valuable help and co-operation during the past year. II

" I beg to offer you a brief r eport on the work of the past year. ., Overshadowing all else was the emergency created by the declaration of a . general strike '. This was met by all ranks in the spirit which one expects from the members of the Brigade. .. All usual posts were manned night aod day- and others were opened as directed by Headquarters, the r esponse by all b eing, in view of some difficulties, even more than one finds usual in the Area. The preparation for emergencies by outlying Divisions- was a very gratifying feature of the general response, a nd the demeanour of all is worth special mention. Such work as was occasioned was carried out very satisfactorily and promptly.

" Several Divisions have been visited and in a number of cases J have carried out the annual re-examination, thus having a good general idea as to how the work is progressing. " In addition to this I have paid a large number of visits to stations, unannounced and in ' mufti " and in no case have I had any occasion to find fault with the work. " This, I think, speaks well for the Public Duty work carried on. " The Annual Church Parade, instituted for the first time last year, was held this year in Iitcham, and a large turn-out resulted . " Gratification was expressed in all quarters, and by those unconnected wi th the Brigade, at the opportunity given to see the personn I in a body.

" I am pleased, indeed, to report that 1926 has pro\'ed a happy anel successful year for Central Area, which from 15 Divisions WIth 4 3 memb rs 10 1923 has now increased in numbers to 25 Divisions with 1,056 members. Duong the past year we welcomed three new Divisions-House of Dickenson Division, a fourth Division to the P.O . Corps, and \V .H . Smith and Son I ursing Division. " With the active co-operation of my Divisional Superintend nt.s, I have continued the Area Educational L ectures, which deal with subjects interesling to our members. In the early part of the year I gave an Area ourse of Lectures m 'ursing for Ambulance Divisions, some 4 members of which took the Jursmg Certificate of the Association, while Dr. l\1oseley, of Ko. 1 Division, at my request, conducted an Area course of Lectures in First Aid for men. At the close of the year I ga\'e Area Courses of Lectures in First Aid and Xursing as part of a recrUlting campaign for my 1. ursing Divisions; and we hope that this will result in 20 new members joining the Brigade. Partly at the earnest request of some of my o(hcers, and thanks to the active help of my colleagues of District Staff, I organized an Ofticers' TralJ1lTIg Course, which proved most helpful to all of us. " During the year I have officially inspected or informally visited all Kursing Divisions and most of the Ambulance Divisions committed to my charge; and fr om personal knowledge I am happy to state that with one exceptJOn, c1uly report.ed to you, all Divisions are carrying out their work and dulles in exemplary fashion . " Our monthly Gazelle is now in its second year; anel dealing as 1t docs WIth all branches of our work, it has proven most acceptable to members and most useful in keeping the Divisions informed as to the District Area and Divisional dulles and functions.:' " In conclusion, I would earnestly direct your attention to the splendId, most efficient, and loyal assistance throughout received from District nicer T. i\lcBride and Lady District Officer :i\1iss A. 1\1. \Valker, no less than froll1 the vast majority of Officers and members of Central Area. This generous support has been a. source of encouragement to my personal efforts and bas enabled me to report to you the closing of a happy and successful year."

" I have the honour to submit my Annual Report on the work of the Eastern Area, o. 1 District, during the year 1926. "1\1ost of the Divisions have been inspected, several of them when on Bank Holiday duty. I found the stations properly equipped and a number of cases being treated, including some severe injuries. " During the General Strike I made two inspections of the Ambulance Stations. There were disturbances in parts of the Area, and casualties were treated . A number of street accidents also occurred as a result of the congestion of traffic. " Every member of the Brigade in Eastern Area, who was in a position to do so, volunteered for duty.

THE CHIEF CO!lDlISSIO:\ER, ST. JOHN !\;llBULA;-':CE BRIGADE. Sm, I have the honour to submit my report for the year 1926 on the 'work of t.he Brigade in the county of Berkshire. At the close of the year th re were III the county 7 Ambulance, 2 Jursing, and 2 Cadet Divisions, the personnel being 227 men, 35 women, and 56 boys, the total strength thus amounting to 318. All dlvislons are in a thoroughly efficient state; the reports of my inspections of th m are already in your hands. The three Divisions at Reading, wit.h the kind assistance of the Southern Railway Division there, worked in conjunction with the British Red Cross Society at the Royal Agricultural Society's Show, held at Reading last summer. I am glad to say that this joint action with the Society proved to be a great success, and augurs well for the joint service which it lS proposed to carryon in this county in connection with the Road Service Scheme. On 25th April the Divisions took part in a route march organized by .L o. 11 District, the march ended on the parade ground of the Royal Military College, Camberley, where the members of the Brigade were inspected by the Commissioner of o. 11 District. A large church parade of the County Divisions took place in Reading on the 12t.h September, a service being held in St. Lawrence's Church by kind permission of the Vicar, who gave an address which contained some very interesting facts relating to the early history of the Order and its hostel in Reading. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, A. G. OSBORN, County Commissioner for Berkshire.

THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER, ST. JOlIN A"lBULANCE BRIGADE. SIR,

Public duty bas been undertaken by a large number of members, and very efficient service has been rendered. A First Aid tent was maintained on the beach at Bournemouth last summer and a large number of cases received attention. This will continue in 1927, and it is hoped that other ursing Divisions will follow this excellent example. In many other towns we have been able to send sections to large public gatherings, such as Fetes, Races, Football and Cricket matches, etc., and the total number of casualties treated runs into several thousand. Drills have, in most Divisions. been well attended, and in some instances the remarkable records of 51 and 50 drills out of a possible 51 have been achieved. Inspections have been well attended in most Divisions, and I have been particularly impressed by the smartness of all ranks and their keenness in carrying out drill and practical work. In these respects I consider everything satisfactory. The Motor Ambulances at Bournemouth (two) and Alverstoke (one) are doing excellent work, and it is hoped to obtain at least one more during 1927. There are now 6 active Ambulance Divisions, 9 ursing Divisions, and 2 Cadet Divisions, with a total strength of 51 officers, including County Officers, and 392 other ranks. It is hoped to form another Cadet Division shortly. I regret to have to record the death of Dr. F. J. Palmer, M.RC.S., Divisional Surgeon of the Alverstoke Ambulance Division, which took place in the autumn of ] 926. Dr. Palmer had rendered great service to the Alverstoke Ambulance Division for many years, and his loss is keenly felt by all ranks. I d~sir~ to than~ all the officers and members of the Hampshire County OrgamzatiOn for thelr assistance and hearty co-operation, and in this respect to record my deep appreciation of all the work done by the Brigade Medical Officers. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, H. G. ORMAN WHITE, County Commissioner.

1 beg to report that I have inspected all the Divisions in the County during the yt'ar, and find same well up to the standard and the efficiency maintained. orne DIVIsions no\v have First Aid appliances in several places about their towns, and th cs have been well used where accidents have occurred.

30th January, 1927. THE ACTING CHIEF COl\! nSSIONER. THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER, ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE . SIR,

I have the honour to submit my report for the year endi ng 3 1st December, 1926. Since I took over charge of the County of Hampshire in October, 1926, I h~v:e inspected all the active ursing and Ambulance Divisions and have found the SPI~lt of the members generally excellent. The strength of Divisions, is in some. Ulllts much lower than it should be, but Superintendents a r e endeaVOUrIng to recrUlt new members, and although it is not possible to say there is any appreciable increase at p r esent, I believe there are signs of improvement in this respect . A large number of people have attended classes during the year under r eview, and have passed the examination, but the number who have su bsequently joined Divisions and so put their knowledge to practical use has been very disappointing.

SIR,

I have the honour to make my annual report on the Brigade in the county of Somerset for 1926 . You will be, I ,;-m sure, grati~ed to k~ow that a steady progress has been made. Post-~ar apathy IS m~rkedly dlsappe~nng, and a very general interest in Brigade work IS becomlllg mam~e~t.' more pa~hcularly in the west of the county. The la~ely formed dl':"lsIOns at Mlllehead and Bridgwater are doing good work, and provlllg to, tJ:~ pubhc ~he :ralue ?f organized" First Aid" training. The older DiViSIOns mallltalll thelr efficiency and devotion to the ideals of the Order. Every officer of the Brigade does his duty, and, in very many cases, a bit more, and all are, more or less, good propagandists.

All Divisions are financially sound, and all are gratcful to an appreciatIve publlc, which supports their cfforts. .

SIR, I beg to submit my Report for 1926, and am glad to state that the Ambulance movement is still making progress in \Viltshire, though rather slowly. The first Nursing Division in my county has been started at Swindon, and a very able and enthusiastic body of ladies enrolled, whilst more will join as soon as the necessary certificates are obtained. They are already doing admirable work at thc various clinics and rendering much helpful assistance to patients newly discharged from Hospital. District Officer Hanmcr has visited one or two towns in my county, and I am hopeful of Divisions starting there in the near fu~urc .. l:' rom ~he in pec,tions I have made during the past year, I feel sure thc work IS belllg carned on efflclently, and that the members are keen. Though as yet we cannot adopt the Home Service Ambulance Schemc in ~ts entirety, the Swindon and Trowbridge Divisions hope to unde.rtake patrol duties in the neighbourhood of their respective towns, and are worklllg out schemes to that end. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient sen.'ant, A. R. TOWERZJ:Y, County Commissioner for vVilts.

A;llBULANCE HEADQUARTERS, KING STREET, XORTHA;\lPTON. 2nd .IIarch, 1927 . SIR PERCIVAL \VILKINSON, K.C.M.G., C.B., ACTING CHIEF COMMISSIONER, ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE, ST. JOH~ 'S GATE, CLERKENWELL, E.C. l. SIR, I have the honour of submitting herewith my Annual Report of the 3rd (Eastern) District. .. 1 D IVI~lOns ' ., h as be. e n made ' as .is Progress in r egard to the formation of addihona evidenced by the fact that new Divisions have been regIstered, whIlst progress 10 numerical strength of many other Divisions has a~so been made. .. . n In the first category are Leicester Club and Inshtute A.r:nbulanc.e DlvlslOn, Bu~to Latimer Ambulance, Shipshed Ambulance, Barden HIll Secti~)U, J. L. KlOg, Ambulance Lutterworth Nursing, Twywell ursing, and Irthh.ngborough Cadet Division. To all of these newly formed Divisions I offer my heartiest welcome, an~ extend my congratulations on becoming members of one of the greatest self sacrificing Pu blic Services in being. f 11 . . In the second category-progress in numerical strength-I place th~ 0 OWI~g Divisions, and congratulate them on gaining new memb~rs to the Bngade, VIZ . Luton Ambulance', Peterborough Ambulance, Kettenng H.Q. Ambulance, Irthlingb orough Ambulance, Wellingborough H.Q. Ambulance, orthampton H.Q.

Ambulance, Leicester City A., Leicester Tramways A., Leicester Wheatsheaf A., Leicester Working ::'vIen's College A., and Leicester Great Central Ambulance. Other Divisions which deserve special mention for efficiency are .1. orthampton Headquarters Ambulance (which is, of course, still by far the largest Division in the District), Wellingborough H.Q. ursing, vVeliingborough Victoria Nursing, Loughborough Ambulance and Nursing, Hinckley Ambulance and Nursing, Lutterworth Nursing, Ashby-de-Ia-Zouch Ambulance and Nursing, Market Harborough A., Vvollaston A., Rushton A., Desborough A., Park Vale A., Wigston Magna A., VVigston Midland, Church Gresley A., Leicester L.M.S. Amb., Leicester Great Central A., Broughton A., Corby A., Castilian ursing, Spencer N., Rothwell T., Daventry ., Kettering H.Q. ursing, Higham Ferrers K, Irchester N., Leicester St. ::'vIary's Nursing Division. Important publIc services have been rendered by all Divisions during the past year. The most prominent occasions were the Prince of \Vales' visit to Luton, and the unveiling and dedication of the orthampton Town and County War Memorial, on which occasion Ambulance Stations were placed in positions along the route and First Aid services called into requisition. It has become more manifest during the year that there is an increased tendency on the part of pubhc authorities and social orga.nizations to call on the Brigade for their services. During the year attendances have b een made at the following events, viz.: Co-operahve Field Day, County H a rri ers Demonstrations, Swimming Gala. Garden Fetes, School Demonstrations, Jubilee Fete, Point-to-Point Races, and Health Exhibilions, III addition to the usual weekly Football Matches, etc. The DI 'trict was represented in the Final Dewar Competition in London by the - Torthampton Headquarters Ambulance Division, and in the Final Perrott Competition by the \VeUingborough Headquarters Nursing Division. I de::,ire to congratulate both Divisions on obtaining places in the finals, and wish to a. sure them of my appreciation and belief that th ey, or future teams, may with a little more good fortune on subsequent occasions, and renewed efforts, have the honour of br:nging the coveted trophies into this Area. The annual combined parade of the Loughborough, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, and Church Gresley DIvisions, ,.,:ith the accompanying ursing Divisions, was held on 27th June, and was preceded by a Church Parade. Everything passed off very efficiently. The Leicester Divi ions had their combined inspection at L eicester, in the Drill Hail, In June. AU Divisions presented a very smart appearance. The Torthampton, \\'el!Jngborough, and Ketterin a orps inspection was held at Northampton in October, and was attended by the Lord Lieutenant of the County, the l\Iarquess of Exetcr, C :'IG, A DC., Sir John Hewett, G.C.S.I., KC.I.E., K.B.E., and other pronllncnL ollnty and Borough people. The inspection was a complete Sl1ccess, and the comblilccl Corps presented a very efficient appearance. Dunng the General Strike arrangements were made for maintaining a chain of Ambulances and First Aid services. An eJ'tra l\Iotor Ambulance was overhauled and repaired at a cost of £23 rcady for contingencies, which, happily, did not arise. As the late Commissioner Ruclgard was identified in the work of the old No.3 Dlstn'2l for so many years, I wish to express my keen appreciation of the services he rendered, and the deep regret of all the members in this District in the loss the Brigade has sustained. I regret to tC'port the resignation on the grounds of ill-health of County Surgeon R. A. :\Iilhgan, O.B.E., J.P., M.D., who has rendered excellent services to the Brigade for forty years. I desire to take this opportunity of offering my congratulations to Assistant Commissioner Adnitt on his appointment to that rank for orthamptonshire. Drills, practices, and hospital attendances have been well maintained during the year Transport work has been very satisfactory and grown considerably. In conclusion, I desire to express my sincere thanks to all my staff for their loyal support, and to every memL>er for their keenness for general efficiency. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, W. HARVEY REEVES, Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem.

SIR, I have the honour to present my first report as Acting Commis ioner No.3 (W.) Dist,ict. Two Cadet Divisions registered. The perwnnel is as follows :-Ambulance, 868 officers and other !"anks; Jersi::Jg, 243; Cadets, 69; total, 1,180 . This does not include the District. staff. The efficiency of the members has been well maiatained, <tnd the cadet members cspeci<tlly ha\'e shown tlte utmc~t keenness. . . . The Warwickshire Corps were lDspected by the ChIef CommIssIoner at Alles]ey in July, and a week-end camp followed, which was a great success. The work for t1e District competitlOn was well carried out, and the number of DivislOns who com· peted had again increased. . ' . I regret that the illness of my most respected supenor officer, DIstnct Commissioner W. D. Rudvard, prevented him from taking the active part he has always done in all work for the District, and at his lamented death in October it was deemeci wise to separate Birmingham Area into a separate entity, and the rcst of o. 3 Western was placed under my charge. No.3 East, No.3 \i\Test, and Birmingham will collaborate t.ogether for District competitions. I am sure a ll officers and men will give me their support in the old No. ;:\ (W.) District in the future. I l.ave the honour to be, Sir, Yonr obedient servant, J. ORTON, Commissioner of St. John .

V.D., T.D., L.R.C.P.,

I am anxious to submit at as early a dat.e as possible my annual report as the CommisSlOner 1 n charge of TO. 4 District. St. John Ambulance Brigade. This statement covcrs a period 1st January to 31st December, 1926. Gelwal.- There are many matters one is delighted to mcntion and to be pleased with. ]t is most satisfactory to record that f'very Unit in this District has furnished the nccessRry annual Brigade forms as called for by Regulations . This fact alone is outstanding evidence of more careful and painstaking cleric::tl organization on the part of individual Units. I have always contended that there IS no reason why every Unit should not bc in a position to send in Its Annual Returns during the first week in January in ach year. This need not be interpreted as an unreasonable demand upon Corps and Divisional Secret2.ries. It simply means that, throughout the year the rccords receive constant and regular attention. In passing, I would like to say how indebted I am for thc great improvement effected in the rendering of the returns. It is perfectly wonderful and enconraging to note the enthusiasm and unselfishness, together wit.h a devotion to duty, displayed by all ranks of the Brigade. I know of no voluntary organization that can compare in these rcspects with the St. John Ambulance Brigade. I am positive thc public do not r ealize all 'we do for them, and

it is onlv in the case of grave accidents associated with railways, min es, large crowds and motor traffic that for a brief time public interest is taken in what the ~mbulance men and women are doing in the way of a First Aid and Transport SerVIce for the injnrecL . Strength.-The position of No.4 District at th~ end of 1926 ~ay be consIdered satisfactory, and on the following grounus. No umts have been (hsbanded; 18 new Units have come into existence, distributed as follows: 1 Ambulance (Astl~y Bridge), 3 Nursing (Ambles ide, Farnworth, and Royton) , 7 Cadet ~mbulance UllItS (Chester, Adlington, Fleehvood, Mancheste~ (2), Ulverston, and henda}). 7 Cadet Nursing Units (Reddish, Wilmslow, PrestwIch, Preston, Todmoruen, hendal, and Ambleside). . I predicted in my last report that the year 1926 woul~ produce a consIderable number of new Divisions. Well, to a certam extent I was nght, but I cannot refram from feeling with some disappointment that activity in this direction was not more pronounced. ursing In No.4 District there are: 15 Corps, 127 Ambulance Divisions, 9 Divisions, and 44 Cadet Divisions (A. and .). The existing strength is as fo110'w5 : AMBULANCE.

I had hoped that the augmentatIOn of the Dlstnct would ~ave been equal to that of 1925, but an increase of 651 ~us~ be accepted. as very sabsfactory, and it certainly does demonstrate that tJ:e. vltCl:hty. of the. Bngade movement stIll asserts itself, and, if I may express an opmIOn, It Wlll contmue to do s<? . The activity displayed in r ecruiting Cadet Units has. been . a m?,:,e m ~h~ nght direction, and I am quite prepared to say that there IS a. dl~posltIon Wlth~n the existing Brigade Units to attach to themselves a Cadet orgamzatIon. I have eVIdence indicating that mothers have taken their daughters to the Cadet ?eadquarter~ and expressed a desire that these children should be enr?lled. It IS very desIrable that such a spirit of confidence should possess the mm~s of as many mo~hers as possible. It is up to us when we have got these boys and gl~ls t~ see that theIr cadet life is made interesting and instructive. The new RegulatIons Just framed to cover this ground will, I believe, go a long way to achieve this obje~t. . . V.A .D.s.-The following report I have received from Lady Dlstnct Supenntendent Mrs. Tweedale, R.R.C., J.P., who has b een r esp~nsible for .the formation of all the Women's V.A.D.s in No.4 District, and in carrymg out thIS duty she has rendered a signal service both to No.4 District and the Order of St. John. I beg to record my grateful thanks for all she has done. It will be noted in th~ ~eport th~t 19 ne.w detachments have been registered during the year, and in addItIon 9 umts are m process of formation .

For the past seven or eIght years the above named Unit has carried out this duty along the Preston-Blackpool Road, and from time to time their services have been utilized to deal with very serious motor smashes. It is said that this road is one of the most cr?\:,~ed, if not the most crowded, roads by motor traffic in England. Several other D~v~s~ons have taken thIS work up and developed it very considerably. The 'Waterloo DIVISIOn has taken over and established First Aid Posts along the LiverpoolSouthport Road. A furth er development will be made in the near future so as to keep under observation the Aintree-Ormskirk Road. Cheadle Heath (one of the Cheshire Divisions) has for some time past carried out the same duty in their own neighbourhood. ~t mu~t be understood t~at thi~ duty is only undertaken during week-ends and holIday tIr~es. It would be Impo~slble for the members of the Brigade to carry out a dally servIce as they are all workmg men. A complete and efficient road service IS a very big. undertaking, and a voluntary organization such as the St. John Ambulance Bngade, whose members are mostly industrial workers, can never be expected to deal comprehensively with such a huge question. It must become sooner or later a national undertaking. There is no questioning the necessity for such work, and as our roads become more densely crowded by motor vehicles the demand for such servIce will mcrease accordingly. In looking into the future I can forsee a considerable development in this service on the part of the St. John Ambulance Bngade. Lifeboat Sr.rvice.-There are six Lifeboat Stations within this area. Four of these have units of the S.J.A.B. associated with the service. The two others are at localities where no units of the Brigade exist. Route }IIarches.-In several areas of this District, comhined Route ~Iarches are held. und er the supervision of the District Staff or Senior Brigade Officers. I am specIally ke~n to encourage such tur~outs. -r:he tendency is to smarten up the Units, and as all these marches are assocIated WIth small schemes and practices their influence makes for efficiency. Church Paradf's.-The usual Church Parades took place. Amongst these were those held at ~Ianchester, Cheadle Heath, and Chorley. The Manchester Parade is always a large one, and on this occasion 281 of all ranks turned out under the command of Assistant Commission~r C. H. Fowler-Jones. Accompanying him was District Ofiicer Maxwell Reek~e, O.B.E:, J.P. The\Vhalley parade may be quoted as another mstance of conSIderable mterest on the part of local units. Assistant Com~issione~ PiI? was in command and had under his charge 170 of all ranks. The CheshIre UUltS III and near Stockport always associate themselves with the celebration of St. Juliens Day Church Parade carried out by the 6th Battalion Cheshire Regiment. A total of 216 of all ranks were on parade under the command of District Officer Lieut.-Col. W. Chaloner, T.D., J.P. Combined Parades.-On Saturday, the 27th June, the South-East Lancs. Corps and Divisions were inspected by you, Sir, at Bolton. The turnout formed a record

so far as numbers were concerned. Over 2,100 men and women were on parade under the command of Assistant Commissioner Pim. At the conclusion of the pararle you were good enough io say that you were satisflCd with the high standa.rd of training, efficiency, and smartness presented to y < ; > u . . . . The Cheshire Corps and Divisions paraded for 1l1specbon, whIch was Crlrned out by the Deputy Chief Commissioner (Col. ~ .. A. Io~re, C.l\I.G., D.S.<?, ':'1.1).) on the 17th July at Reddish.

I~ the hiO'hest term.s of the discipline, organization, and general beanng of the mts. bComj01't Depots.-On the 24th April I opened the Birkenhe<,td Comfort.. Depot. It was a most successful little function, and considerable enthusIasm was dIsplayed by the Nursing Divisions concerned. Up to the present sO.me 10 'omfort Depots have been established in No . 4 District, and from reports WhICh have come to hand it is quite evident that the work of these dep,o ts is very highly appreci<,tted by the' portion of the communities receiving the ben~hts and conven.lences accrulng through the loaning of nursing requisites. I have a very strong feehng that. JJ1 all poplliou areas one of these depots should be established. Of course, .the eve.r-p~esL'n~ dtf~cul.ty in meeting the financial needs prevents ~his .

There was a vbery interesting gathering, and I think all concerned apprec1ated the opportunity of meeting one another again. orne represen.tal1ves at lend,ed .from other Districts of the Brigade, and were accorded a very. cordIal welcome. fillS functIOn is now an annual one and it is very strongly des1red by those assoclat.ed \\'It.h It thatits developments ;hould extend throughout t.he Bri.gade.

er.ected for. ~h.e use of the. Southport Centre S.J .A.A., and the Southport and Blrkdale DIVISlO~S <;>f t~e Bngade. The co~t of the building ranged between £6,000 .a nd £7,00.0' and 1t .1S~ mdeed, a very credItable effort, which wifl. exercise a great Influence m mall1tamll1g and encouraging the work of St. John in Southport. Conjer~nce.-On the 2nd October thc Sub-Prior proceeded to Port Sunlight to enable h1m ~o address the Conference of No. 4 District assembling there for their ~nnual meetll1g. There w~re some 1,700 delegates present, who were all enthusiastic til expr~ssmg a most. cord1al welcome to the Sub-Prior. Viscount Leverhulme took the cha1r, and very kmdly and generously welcomed the Conference to Port Sunlight. The firm <;>f Le.ver Brothers arranged that thc delegates should be conducted over Port S.unllght ~n the ~orenoon, and after the Conference, tea was served to those attendmg. T~ll~ hospItable generoslt.y was greatly appreciated. On this occasion I was thc reCIpIent of a beautiful silver shield, together with a canteen of silver, presen~ed to mc by all ~ar:ks of thc .Brigade in No.4 District on the occasion of my 70th b1rthday. On reCe1Vtilg the shIcld, I handed it to the Sub-Prior (who accepted same on behalf of the Order) as a token of loyalty on the part of No.4 District towards the Order of St. John, and also to commemorate the services of the Brigade both at ~om~ and "abro.ad dunng the Great \-Var. It has now been arranged that the Tnmble ShlCld WIll be used as one of the trophies to be awarded in the " Dewar" CompetitlOn. Pltbhc DUhes.-A very serious aCCIdent occurred at Dukin:field on the 1 th ~eptemb~:. A sect.lon of a stand~ collapse~ ?n which about 300 people were standll1g. Dllkll1field A.mbulance and. ursmg DlvlslOns were on duty, and 46 cases were treated :'Ianchester Cl\.'lC \\·cek, which occupied from the 2nd to 9th October was looked .::fter from an ambulance pomt of view by the Manchester and Salford C~rps. Fortvfive accjJ~nt.s of a senous nature w.e re attended to, and many other trivial occurrence::, were superv1sed and dealt wlt.h. Cadets were used as messenO'ers between aid posts. b In the Te.xt.ile Exhiblt:O~ the ':'Ianchester and Salford Corps were provided free of charge wIth a stall; £3 ;, worth of goods were sold for the St. John Ambulance AssouatIon , On \\'llll-;'Iond.a \' and. \vhit-Fnday the above Corps paraded for duty on the ~cca.slOn of the \\ I.l.lt.sunh.de processlOns. Enormous crowds always assemble in the streets to wat.ch thIS functlOn. Seell1g that a total of 8 .:1: accidents received attention the mag,oltutlc of the work done can be reallzed. Of these cases 509 were dealt with bv the S J.A.B . men and women, and thc remainder fell to the Detachments of the H.ed Cra . Twcnt\'-se"en of the 509 cases were so serious as to call for removal to hospita1.~ .211 Sl. John m embers were on duty on the ':'Ionday, and 221 paraded on t.hc I·ncb\'. On the 20th October, on the occasion of the visit of H.R.H. Prince of \Yales to Che ter, t.he hester Gnlts turned out for street duty. Forty-three of all ranks were 00 parade. Dunng the dcparture of the pilgrims from Preston to Lourdes, members of the Preston Corps, under the command of Corps Superintendent Howorth, rendered all the ne~essary aSSIstance to enable the pilgrims to be placed in the train in comfort. On theIr return a hke ambulance service was available. . On the 1 th Ju~y the Kirkham ~i\'ision were on an annual picnic near Langdale P1kes (Lake Dl t.nct). They were mformed that a deplorable accident had occurred to a chmbll1g part.y, anJ. on proceeding to the scene found one of the climbers dead and the o~her unconscIous. Attention was at once given to the injured man, a stretcher 1mpronzed~ ~nd although the transporting was done over rough and swampy ground, the Injured man was conveyed to an hotel, the journey taking two hours. On request ~): the ecretary of the Royal Lancashire Agricultural Society to undertake the :r;rovlslOn ,of the necessary ambulance det~ils during their Show, held at Burnley, ~9th Jul) to ~nd August, .arranged wlth the Burnley Units to take ambu.lance charge of thiS Show. I v1slted the Ambulance Station, which on this occaSIOn was a large tent, and found everything in good order. I have for a great many years now been able to carry out this work in connexion with the above Show. The Secretary wrote expressing his appreciation. On Saturday, the 10th July, I was present at the opening of a new Drill Hall at Blackbur.n by th.e ::Ylayor of that town. The building provides the Blackburn Units of the Bngade w1th a commodious drill hall, offices, kitchen, and other r equirements.

THE

ST.

JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

On Saturday, the 18th eptemb er, at Radcliffe, I unveiled a tablet to the memory of Herbert Jones, a late member of the R adcliffe Division, who unfortunately lost his life during the Great "War. I record with considerable satisfaction the fact that on all important occasions when functions connected with the St. John Ambulance Brigade are held in o. 4 District, the interest displayed in our work is emphasized by the presence and support of the local ~Iayors and Chairmen of the rban District Councils. Again, the Chief Constables in charge of the Counties, cities, and boroughs ar whole heart ed in their support of our movement, and it is the general practice that in taking pubilc duty our members work in conjunction with th e police force so as to meet all r equirements. These cordial relations are most valuable to the St. John organization. The foregoing constitute most of the important features of the work of the Brigade in I o. 4 District during the year under review, but in addition there are many 1 ss important items impossible to r ecord in a report of this scope. It must be und erstood that the work of the Brigade men and women is ubiqituous in all parts of the four counties comprising No . 4 District. At the present moment our humane service is a national one, and I am thoroughly imbued with the feeling that the public at large could not and would not do without us. The ambulance man (and woman) is regarded by the man m the street as being in the same category as that of a policeman, i.e. a national ervant. hould protection within the law be required, a policemen is hailed, and if First Aiel to the injured is necessary, the St. John man or woman is expected to be there or to spnng out of the ground so as to meet the public call, and to a large extent this publIC demand is met. To-day the St. John Ambulance Brigade is r endering a marvellous and comprehensive service both at home and in our Dominions overseas, and those of us who have had the honour and privilege of being associated 'wlth th e movement for some years, feel exceedingly proud that the organization has attained such an important position. The public are apt to forget that the St. John man IS a voluntary worker, as distinguished from the PolIce Constable, who is a paid public servant. In concluding, I will briefly try to thank the members of my Dlstncl Staff One and all have b een most patient with me. I have al 0 had ever); ass I tance the\, could possibly render. I feel that I am exceedmgl\' fortunate to be surrounded by uch loyal friends, all of whom are deeply interested in the work of the Order of t'] 011 n . To Officers and members of both Ambulance and NurslDg DIviSIOns 111 .1.'0. -! District, I say thank you very much for your hard and conscientIOus work and the valuable assistance you have given me in maintainmg the high reputation which this District occupies. I have the honour to be. Ir, Your obedIent servant, CHARLES J . TRDIBLE, Colollel. Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John of J eru alcm . THE ACTING CHIEF COMMISSIONER, ST.

T AFF

Consequent upon the ind ustri a l unrest, the Camp for 1926 had, a t the last moment, to be abandoned . The Annu a l Dinner was this year held at Mansfield on 13th February. It is difficult to obtain full details of cases of rendered aid, but indicative of the District is one normal strengthed ~ ursing Division with 1,779 cases . Amongst the gifts to the District during the year are two silver Challenge Cups from Robinia Viscountess Mountgarret for competition annually in the Northern Ar ea of W . R. York . A Shield from Superintendent Criddle, a Challenge Cup from the sons of the late Sir Edwin Ann for competition in Derbyshire, a General Efficiency Trophy for the District from Assistant Commissioner H. C. Else, and a Silver Cup from County Surgeon-Major Fisher for competition in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire. To the donors I extend my best thanks. These gifts bring the total of trophies for competition to 75 . I desire to place on record my warm appr eciation of the help afforded to me by Assistant Commissioner H . C. Else, Chief of Staff, Capt. Wood, District Surgeon, and :Mrs. Birkbeck, Lady District Superintendent, by the Staff of the District, and by the Corps and Divisional Officers . At no tIme has .I. TO. 5 District been in so str ong a position and this has to a very considerable extend b een arrived at b y the never-ceasing labours of the Assistant Commissioners m charge of the ten Areas in the District and the Distr ict Officers and Lady District Officers attached to those Areas. I do not for one moment overlook the splend id work of the County, Corps, and DiVIsional Surgeons, all of them in their respective offices so keen, and successfully so, III maintaming efficlency. :\1y District Secretary performs his duties most excellently. I have the honour to be, Sir, You r obedient servant, S. vV. MALKIN, Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John , Commissioner.

SIR,

1 have t.he honour Lo submit my report for the year ended 31st December, 1926. Jt. is gratifying to report. that throughout the District there is evidence of increased interest. in Ambulance work. The personnel of the Brigade in this District has increased during the year by 133 ; t.his would have been a still larger figure but for the fact that there is again a slight shrinkagein t.hel ursingmembership. In t.he Nursing Cadet Divisions there is a decrease of 50, which is unfortunately only offset by the small increase of 7 in the Boy units, making a net decrease of 43. The actual figures for t.he year are, therefore, as under : Ambulance Divisions ursing Divisions Boy Cadet Divisions Girl Cadet Divisions

3,079 975 186 122

Grand total

4,362

Two new Divisions have been registered during the year, namely Hadra Division (Hull and District Rugby Association), Hull Corps, and Filey Division. It is a maHer for regret that four ursing Divisions- Percy l\Iain, Birtley, \Vest Hartlepool, and Beverley-and one Ambulance Division at Thornley Colliery have G

had to be disbanded. In each C<lse the unit had ceased to function for some time, but , it is possible that with re-organization they may again be re-registered. ::\Iedical Comforts Depots have been opened at the Headquarters of the ewcasUeon-Tyne and also in connexion with the St. Peter's 'Works Division of that orps. Other Depots opened in Hull and elsewhere in the carlier days of . the scheme a~e functioning successfully. A furthcr development of the Scheme wIll take place 111 Darlington, where a Depot is to be opened in the ve.ry near fu ture. . The response for emergency duty during the pen<.>d of th~ General Stnk~ was very gratifying, and thronghout the whole area ~he Van?llS Ul1lts were. eSI?cclally alert for duty. At District Headquarters a specIal cont1J1gent was mall1tall1ed on duty each day from 8 a.m. until 11 p.m. This was also the case in Hull, 1\Iicldlesb~ough, and other centres throughout the District. In connexion with the Cramlln gto n Railway disaster, special mention should be made of the promp~i~l1~le with which Assistant Commissioner Dr. j ames Anderson and the local DIVISion r ponded, also a special squad dispatched from District H 'adqllartcrs. Of this event I have had the honour previously of supplying a report to you. . Road Service Sc/zeme.- \Vork on this Schcme, which had already been carncd out during the last two summers, is being efficiently clone at several main roads and danger spots. In the East Riding the Hull orps have had a movable FIf t Aid Hut provided by the local rcsidents at one Village, and a s?cond has bec.1l .oninbuicd by friends for usc at another point. \Vh ercvcr duty I perfornwll It IS conll<llly welcomed by the Police. Public Duty has been carried out by the l3rigade on the occasions of the visits to Hull of their Royal Highnesses the Prince of \ Vales and Princess 1\lary, as w 'lI as the usual duty at Football Matches, Theatres, tc. The entries for the various District om petitions were larger than in former years, and the successful teams 'were as follows : -

The Coroner Graham Ambulance Trophy Competition, op n to teams from any industrial concern, or Brigade Units, within the County of Durham, was successfully carried out, there bcing an entry of over t.hirty teams. The winn rs of the Trophy for the first year of the competition, were the team from the Brandon 'olliery Division, and the runners-up (who hold the North fllail alld Newcastle Chronicle Shield) were the Tyne Dock, L. and N.E. Rly. Police . The donor, who is the senior Coroner in the country, and aged 92, was present at the final and presentcd the Trophy to the winners amid much enthusiasm.

YO R KS HIR E.

I have the honour to fonvard my first Annual Report for this Dishict. I have been able to visit personally almost all the Ambulance and Nursing Divisions in this area during the past year, and I find there is an increased interest in the work of the I3rigade. I am pleased to report th a t in the Nursing Divisions there is better work done and a keen desire for efftciency evinced. The Ambulance Divisions are not quite as satIsfactory, but in many respects their work has improved, and I feel sure that I mav look forward to a better result next year. As"usual public work has been carried olit at the great Floral Fete at Shrewsbury and the \Vest l\Iielland Agricultural Show, as well as at several minor functions, CIne! the appreciation shown by the public should be a powerful stimulus to further public us ·flliness. The Hereford ~ursing Division is proving a success in spite of 50111e ddftcllllles and its isolated position. The members are keen and I feel confident as to its future. I hoped that the Hallwood Nursing Division would have been reformed and working, but its beginning is still delayed. I n several places I am happy to report that the nursing sisters attend at the clinics (Orthopa'clic and \Velfare Centres) and assist in the work. The .:'IIcdical Comforts Department at Tronbrielge is doing valuable work. The competItion for the :L\ursing Challenge Shield attracted a fairly good entry and produced a keen contest. The work was good and showed an improvement on t.hat of former years. The hield was won by Oswestry 1 ursing Division by a few marks over :'Iarket Drayton. I much regret that there \",ere no entries for the Ambulance Challenge Cup this year. There lS a lack of Ambulance Divisions of any strength in this county, but I hear of several First Aiel classes being held, and am encouraged to hope that more Ambulance Divisions will be formed and those at present existing 'w ill be raised to greater strength. l\ly best thank::; are due to the Lady District Superintendent for the work she has done in connexion with the Nursing Divisions. Her keenness and energy have been invaluable to me. 1 have also gratefully to acknowledge the kindness shown and the assistance given to me by the ounty Surgeon and Staff, Corps, and Divisional Officers, and, indeed, the loyal help given to me by all ranks since taking up my appointment. Finally, I am acutely conscious that much has been left undone that might have been done by me during the six months that I have had the privilege and honour to hold the oUice of ommissioner of this District. For this, frequent and prolonged ab ences from home are partly responsible, but I trust that with improved health and increasing familiarity with the duties of the important office I hold I may be able to report better progress on a future occasion. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, ARTHUR R. F. EXHAM, l\I.D., JIajoJ'. Hon. Associate of the Order of St. John. County Commissioner No. VII District St. J ohn Ambulance Brigade.

To THE ACTING CHIEF COMMISSIONER, THE ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE. SIR,

I have the honour to submit my Annual Report for the year ended 31st December, ] 926. I am pleased to report a further increase 126 men and 14 women, also 33 boys and 20 (Tirl cadets during the year. The p~es('nt strength of my District is as follows : 13 District Staff .

received attention from members of the Brigade, and I have reason to believe that a very large number of cases have not been reported to me. ::'IIy units continue to work in the closest co-operation with the Police and Civic Authorities, and I am pleased to report that the value of our work is being more and more appreciated by these authOrIties and the public. Members of the Brigade are being recognized as efficient and up-to-date, and there can be no doubt that they are doing magnificent pu blic work. The sympathetic help we continue to receive from the Police and local authorities is a great encouragement to us. Hospital H'ork.-573 attendances at Hospitals have been made by members of Kursing Divisions during the year, who received much kind help and encouragement from the various l\Iatrons and Staff. In addition a large number of members have given help to Infant vVelfare Centres, Massage Cli nics, District ursing as helps to District urses, and occasionally acting as night nurse 1n patients' houses under the superintendence and at the request of the medical attendant. Transport TVorl~.-This continues to develop rapidly, and we are doing all in our power to cope with the increasing demands upon our skill and time, due to the great increase of motor traffic in my district owing to the natural beauty and charm of the three counties, which invites motorists to visit them. There are 25 ambulances at present in use, and during the year 8,945 patients were removed, with a total mileage of 170 ,000 miles. Royal National Lifeboat Institution.-Arrangements have been made by all my coastal divisions to co-operate with this Institution and provide transport and men to deal with all cases of injury and sickness which come within their province. This meets a long-felt want, and we are proud to extend our assistance to those" in peril on the sea ". Chuych Parade.-The Annual Church Parade for Kent was held at Tunbridge Wells on 19th September, 1926, and was in charge of Assistant Commissioner Major W. H. }. oble and Lady District Superintendent Mrs. Falwasser. I inspected the parade before they marched to church, and took the opportunity of presenting some Service Medals. By the courtesy of Ir. E. A. Richards, Commissioner TO. 11 District, some of his units also attended the parade, but unfortunately I have not the numbers. The men and women were very smart on parade, uniform neat, clean, and properly worn, discipline good, and marching excellent.

TIm

ST.

JOHN Al\IB LA. CE BRIGADE.

I was very pleased with all I saw, and t.he parade was a great success. The fine day drew a large crowd of spectators, who were much impressed with t.he smart appearance of our units . Parade state of o. 8 District.-District St.aff 5, Ambulance Officers 26, N.C.O.s 29, Privates 260, ursing Officers 13, Cadet Officer 1, and Ambulance Sisters 55 ; total 389. " Te are much indebt.ed to the Tunbridge 'Vells Divisions for the arrangements made and for the hospitality provided, nor should we forget our obligation to the Rector for allowing us t.o visit his church and for the sermon. Combined Parade.- Some of my Surrey unit.s atlended a combined parade with TO. 11 District, at the invitation of Ir. E. A. Richards, Commissioner No. 11 District, on Sunday, 25th April, t.o the Royal Military College at Camberley, where they were inspected by the Commandant. I was informed that the parade was a great success and served a very useful purpose in allowing the men of No. and K o. 11 Districts to get to know each other. Dedication of Ambulance at Sheemess. - I attended on 19th September to receive on behalf of my District a motor ambulance for the local unit. About 150 men and women paraded, and walked in procession through the town, headed by the Pollce, Fire Brigade, Boy Scouts, etc. The Superintendent of the Dockyard and his staff honoured us with their pres~nce. After the dedication ceremony, which was celebrated by the local clergy as Isted by a b a nd and surpliced choir, I received the ambulance and then adures ed the crowd of several hundreds of people on the History of the Order. The ceremony was a great success in every way. Inspections. During the year every unit in my Dist.rict was inspected by myself or a m ember of my staff. Yearly progress is being made both In efficiency and discipline. There is still room for improvement in drill in many units, although I recognize that often they are handicapped by the inadequacy of their headquarters, which makes it practically impossible to perform the various Jl1I)VeIlH:nt reqUired. This can be overcome t.o a certain extent if these units would drill in the open during the summer months. Competitions.-The results for the competitions for 1926 were as follows : DISTRICT TROPHIES. The" Three Counties" Shield LitUehampt.on Division. The ., Cotton" Shield . 'Vest.gat.e-on-Sea Division. The" Cotton" Shield (women) Guildford ursing Division. COUNTY OF KENT. The" East Kent" Bowl vVestgate-in-Sea Division . The" Decies " Cup (women) "vVestgate-on-Sea Nursing Division . The" Jurses" Cup (women). Ramsgate Nursing DiVIsion. COUNTY OF SURREY. The" Onslow" Cup (men). Camberley and Frimley Division. The" Martin vVilliamson " Cup Guildforcl Division. The" Onslow" Cup (women) Guildford ursing Division. The" Ethel Deane" Cup (women). Camberley and Windlesham ursIng Division . COUNTY OF SUSSEX. The" Sir vVilliam Gentle" Cup Lit.tlehampton Division. The .. Sir William Gentle" Cup (women) Hastings ursing Division. Having regard to the fact that competitions arc held at a time in the year when medical men are very busy, it speaks well for the judges and their keen interest in our work when they leave their work behind and travel long distances to judge in Brigade Competitions, and I fe el sure the whole of my District highly appreciat.es their kindness and joins me in offering to them our sincere thanks for the services they rendered. . . . . It gave my District much pride that the Littlehampton DIVIsIOn secured second place in the Brigade Finals, thus gaining the" Symons Eccles" Challenge Cup. This Division by gaining this Cup brought credit to the District generally and to itself in particular. Military Hospitals Reserve.-This Reserve is not appealing to the men in my District. I think this is due to the treatment this Reserve received during the Great War. If the War Office would definitely promise that this Reserve would be used

only ~or the purpo~e for which it is intended, I think it would become more popular, but, 111 the meantllne, men WIll not run the risk of training for this Reserve and during war be used as combatants. The terms of service also compare very unfavourably with the Royal Naval Auxiliary Sick .Bert.h Reserve. Fina.nce . -Alth?ugh ther.e is an i~creased. recognition by the public of the necessity of hel-f?1l1g Our UI1lts financIally, stIll there IS room for much greater liberality if our wor~ IS to progress adegu~tely . The work of obtaining the necessary funds adds consIderably .to the anxIetIes of the officers in charge. Tbe en~huslasm and self-denial of all ran~s in this most important work is worthy of all I?raIse, and I am very grateful for their efforts, but the public should recognize more l!berally t.he.voluntary n~ture of our .work and ~he urgent necessity for adequate financial support. If we are to nse to our hIghest stat.lOn as" First Aiders n. Geneyal. - In conclusion, I again wi~h to place on record my deep appreciation of the help and loyal support I have received from every member of my staff. I marvel often that su~h busy people can find time t~ do the work of my District so efficiently, and I recognize that they can only do tIllS by great sacrifice of their well-earned leisure. I am sure all ranks in my District are as grateful to them as I am. I would also Ilk? t? say how much I admire the self-sacrificing work done by all members of my DIStrICt, work done glacI.ly and unselfishly for the good of humanity. !hey are worLhy followers of the old KnIghts of our Koble Order, living a life of high Ideals and. noble self-sacrifice, and to all of them, both men and women, I can only say, very lI1adequately, Thank you. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, A. VERNON DAVIES, Commissioner, TO . 8 District, Knigh t of Grace of the Order of St. John.

I have the honour to report that the Divisions in Cornwall, with two exceptions, are in a state of high efficiency, and the work has shown a marked advance on prenolls years. The spirit of co-operation is excellent, Officers and members hanng \\·orked with enthusiasm. Our thanks are due to the medical profession for assistance antI. support, to the County Officers for lectures, and the speCially trained teams for demonstrations in the parts of the County where the Brigade is not yet orgaDlzed, Every Division has been visited during the year by the County Officers, many more than once. Staff meetings of the County and Divisional Officers have been held quarterly. It is with great regret that I have to report that we have not been able to get any of our members to join the :Military Hospitals Reserve. Most of the Divisions have been re-eqUlppcd with new uniforms and the latest appliances for rendering First Aid. Special attention has been given to the appliances for rescue work in the tin mines and for the removal of transport cases from small and awkward houses. Members have been given speCIal training 111 the use of the appliances. The transport service has been a great success. Every call has been promptly responded to, and the motor ambulances have stood up to the severe work on the Cornish hills well. Doctors and patients have on many occasions complimented the men on the skill shown. The new ambulances at Redruth, Penzance, and Helston, have been equal to anticipation, and it has been possible to transport the most serious cases Jl1 comparative comfort over the roughest ground. The Cadet Detachments have proved of the utmost value as recruiting grounds for the Divisions. Efforts to sustain the interest of the boys and girls have been successful. There is renewed life in the Nursing section of the Brigade, and classes for instru ction in Home ursing are springing up in all parts of the county through the

BRIGADE HEADQUARTERS, COUNTY OF DEVON, OTTE STREET, PLYMOUTH. 20th April, 1927 . SIR,

I have the honour to submit my Report of the Brigade's activities in Devon and on the Eastern Border of Cornwall during the year ended 3 1st December, 1926. Persolll1el.-Once more there has been an encouraging increase both in the number of UI1lts and in membership. :J\ew adult Divisions have been sanctioned by you at Bidcford an,l Buckfastleigh; also a Cadet Division at Ashburton. At the close of the year the prospects were exceedingly bright for even greater developments, recruiting being actl\'e at Tavistock, Plymouth, Paignton, Dartmouth, Torpoint, .:'IIodbury, :'Ialborough, alcombe, Ivybridge, Lynton, Lynmouth, and Seaton. Association Support.-In no small measure is this rapid progress due to the efforts of the Devon ounty Centre of the St. John Ambulance Association, operating through the iniluentIallocal committees in all the places mentioned in the p r evious paragraph. Slatistics .-On 31st December, 1926, the strength of the Brigade in my District was as follows : County Staff Ambulance Nursing Ambulance Cadets ursing Cadets Total Personnel Grand Total

We hold him in very high esteem .

Thanks.-On behalf of Temporary Commissioner H. V. Miller and myself, I desire to express hearty and sincere thanks to my staff and to the officers, members, and cadets who loyally supported and co-operated with us in the Order's ever-extending labours for suffering humanity. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, THOMAS PENGELLY,

T./Acting County Commissioner, S.J.A.B.

Devon had the honour of sending the Plymouth Co-operative Nursing Team (i .e. District winners) to the Perrott Final. Tnsp ections.-Other than the Plymouth and Torpoint units, inspections were made by Officers of the County Staff. \Vith one exception an increased k enncss and improved equipment were noticed everywhere. The event of the year was the visit to Plymouth of Lady Perrott, RR . (Luly Superintendent in Chief), and Col. C. 1. Ellis, .M G., T.D., (Asst. Surgeon in Chief), for the combined Annual Inspection of Plymonth units on ~Oth October. Thp officers, members, and cadets, together with the large concourse of supporters, led by the Mayor and the Mayoress, highly appreciated the honour of receIving two 'mch distinguished officers. General Strike.-During the period of the General Slnke the Brigade in t11i District was specially organized for service. Fortunately, with the exceplIon of one day of strain in Plymouth, the only calls for duty were in consequence of the faIlure of the railway service, throwing more invalid transport work on the Ambulances. These had a period of unparalleled activity. Jllotor Ambnlances.-During the year two more Association ommittces and Brigade Divisions-Totnes and Bidcford- have inauguratecl )Iotor Ambulance Services. The new cars are much in demand. The following figures are for l\lotor Transport: Exeter, 965; Plymouth Crippled Children, 9,283; Plymouth 12,110 ; Launceston, 109; Torquay, 401; Torpolllt, 101; ewton Abbot, 87; Barnstaple, 16; Exmouth, 31. New Schemes.- ot only have Divisions in this county been in the forefront with those providing Ambulance men and appliances to accompany Fire I3rigades, but it was the birthplace of the Tational Lifeboat First ill en'Ice, now adopted throughout the British Isles. This is no small honour and priVIlege, csp cially as the R.N.L.I. gave credit officially to the Plymouth St. John OrganlzallOn, which for many years has sent out personnel and cars to the quayside whenever the" wreck-rocket" sounded. Devon, also, was a pioneer in Road First Aid Service, for even before the \\Ta r Ambulance men patrolled the Dartmoor roads. Nursing Service.-In some parts of Devon the Ambulance Sisters are used to a very considerable extent. Among the duties undertaken are: H.egular atlendance at Hospitals, a casualty room in a busy town, accompanying females in Ambulances, caring for crippled children, going to and from schools, emergency nursing serVIce, and travelling by train with serious cases to all parts of England . Lady Superintendent Jane of the Torquay Division responded to Lady Perrott's call for assistance in the London Temperance Hospital, and spent a period of happy and useful duty there. V.A.D.s.-The Annual Inspection reports on the five St. John V . . D.s in Devon were of a satisfactory nature.

Police l11embership.-One of the most remarkable developments of recent times has been the influx of officers and members of the Devon Constabulary into the ranks of the Brigade. Several Divisions have been reinforced by splendid Police First Aiders, and from the County Chief Constable downwards there is excellent co-operation. l\'lay the day soon come when every policeman is in the Brigade! Public Duties.-Most units have undertaken a large amount of Public Duty. The most important under this heading were those of the City of Exeter Division in the Devon County Show at Crediton, and that of the Plymou'th units during the famous Carnival Week.

COUNTY SIR,

OF DORSET.

10th il1arch, 1927.

I have the honour to submit my report for year ending 31st December, 1926. There has been a steady increase in the number of members and efficiency during the year. Public Duties have been carried out by the Divisions in increasing numbers. The Ensbury Park Racecourse, Bournemouth, being in the Borough of Poole, Dorset, has made great demands upon the Parks tone Divisions, and the Hut on the sands at \Veymouth, needing daily attendance for four months in the summer season gi ves the local DiVIsions plenty of work to do, as shown by the great variety and number of cases treated. It IS very satisfactory to have a Motor Ambulance attached to each Division in the county. The number of calls dealt with being 276. I thank all ~anl~s in my county for their unselfish and efficient proof of the zeal they show, whIch IS worthy of the trust placed in them by all classes. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, J. vV. WHITE, Capt., County Commissioner, Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John of J erusa1em.

I have the honour to submit my nnual Report for this District for the year 1926. There is an awakening all round in the keenness of the Divisions, in all the counties, and evidence of lncreasing interest in the work of the Brigade. The reports I have received from the Assistant Commissioners as to the general efficiency of the units under their charge are excellent. There were two outstanding events in the year, first the General Strike. In this I had most willing help offered me by all the Divisions ,,,hen I felt precautionary measures were necessary. In Ipswich every possible man and woman volunteered their services. One firm placed at my disposal all the St. John men in their works and an emergency ambulance. The men took their uniforms to work and with all equipment, brassards, and permits were ready at a moment's notice to turn out at the requ est of the Civil Authorities. We had, in addition, squads fully equipped with two lotor Ambulances standing by all the time day and night. To their regret there was no emergency, and beyond a few minor affairs no call for their services after the first week or ten days. But I desire to draw to your notice the excellent spirit of the men and women, all of whom volunteered during what might have been a very strenuous time. . The second outstanding event is that a further grant of land has been made to the Order by the executors of the late Miss Coulcher, Lady of Grace, and 1'.1r. T.

ST. JOHN AM BULAN E BRIGADE.

Parkington, District Secretary, added a considerable further piece of land that has been partly levelled and made to convert into a parade ground. But we have been handicapped by building operations preventing access, that have held us up. All, however, is now ready to finish matters this spring. Our Drill Hall and Ambulance attendant's cottage have been put int.o repair necessitating a considerable oulla)'. However, for years to come I hope to be free from furt.her expense here. The Motor Ambulances in Ipswich have travelled 10,204 miles during the year and moved 769 cases. Norfolk County Divisions are, although young, vigorous and in good spirit, and with one exception all are in uniform. Essex is now making a move, and I anticipate several new divisions in the county during the coming year. The County Commissioner is active, and doing much needed spade work. The existing divisions are efIicient, and the majorit.y of men are in uniform. A new l\Iotor mbulance complet.ely equipped and ready for t.he road was giYen to Clacton Division by an ardent well wisher, and is now in aclive use by t.hem. SlIffolk County Commissioner and his stafT have been most energetIc, ancl t.he batch of reports I have from them regarding t.he Divisions in the count.y are most gratifying, and show an excellent spirit throughout. Hertford moves slowly. The County ommissioner in his letters to mc glv s good accounts of the work done, but I would like to see more DiVISIOns J11 1.he Count.y. St. Albans City is very much alive and acti ve, while Letchwort.h, which I personally inspected, is an unusually active and efficlCnt Division. JlJedical Comforts Depot.- n enormous amount of work is being done most efficiently here, thanks to the energy of the Lady Superin1. p ndent. anel t.he laff Officer working with her. It is rapidly becoming a central Depot for the dist.nbutton of invalid requisites for the county per the vanous divisions. Cadels.-The work amongst the Cadets is enthuslasttcally done by t.hose who havc taken the work up, but there is something lacking in the movement., and it. IS not so successful as it ought to be. V .A .D.-The military authorities who inspected t.hem have report (1 as t.o t.he efficiency and knowledge of the units . The ~lobiles have put 111 t.he requisIte training, and the ;,Iatrons' reports are excellen t. Church Parades and public duties throughout the Dist.rict are of freqnent occurrence, and are always well attended and encourag d by me . I believe it giYes the various units an opportunity t.o come t.oget.her and t.o know each other. Taken as a whole, this District is in good order, well equipped, ul1lformecl, and keen . I desire to express thanks to my Assistant Commissioners, 1.11 vanous st.affs, indeed, to all ranks for their loyal assistance and co-operation dUrIng t.h past) 'ar. I am most grateful to them all.

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIO ER. 36, Camberley A venue, Raynes Park, S.W. 20. 1st February, 1927. The Chief Commissioner, St. John Ambulance Brigade, St. John 's Gate, ClerkenweIl, E.C. 1. SIR, I have the honour to present my report for the year ending 31st Decembcr last, and once again it gives me great pleasure to assure you that the 1l1terest in the Brigade throughout the District continues to be well maintalllcd. I have personally inspected a large majority of the Divisions under my control, and am in a position, therefore, to testify to the efficiency and keenness of those I have the honour to command . The outstanding event of the year was, of course, the winning of the Dewar Challenge Shield by the Bricklayers Arms team, r epresenting my Dlst.rict (this is the second occasion on which the Bricklayers Arms t.eam have secured this trophy during the past three years, whilst in the other instance they were runners-up). When I add to this, that a team r epresenting the Southern Railway also secured the Inter-Railway Challenge Shield, and was successful in winning, as representatives of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem in England, the International Ambulance Competition held at Amsterdam, there can be no question as to the efficiency of the railway ambulance men. During the past year I have had reported to me more than 6,000 cases where First Aid has been rendered by members of the Divisions under my charge. So far as the Railway itself is concerned, the value and service of the First Aider is well known, and it is very gratifying to r eceive testimony time after time, from members of the public to the valuable assistance the same men have rendered in the cause of First Aid, and to the credit of the Order of St. John. A very successful Review, proceeded by a Route March, took place at the Royal Military College, Camberley on Sunday, 25th April, by kind permission of MajorGener al Corkoran, C.B., C.M.G., who placed the grounds at our disposal for the purpose.

This review was held in conjunction with No.2 District, and was commanded by District Officer J. H. P. Batt, of that District. There were over 500 men and nurses on parade, and I was very pleased with the smartness of all ranks. Generous and kindly help was afforded by Lt.-Col. Lickman, O.B.E., who had tl~e . Parade Ground 'prepared as fo~ ~. mili tary function, and placed the College Dllllllg Hall at the disposal of the DIvlslOns and friends for the tea provided at the conclusion of the Review. ~t has given me much pleasure during the year to advance the interest of the Bng~de Bene:vole~t Fund.. and to again have the opportunity of sending you a ta.ngl?le contnbutlOn to thIS very worthy cause, from the Officers and Men in No . XI DIstnct. I have in previ.ous. reports refe~red ~o the wonderful work performed by the members <?f my Dlstnc.t III C~)llneXlOn WIth the Lourdes Pilgrimages, and I should be negle~tlll.g my du~y If I falled to record that valuable assistance was again given to the PIlgnms passlllg to and from the Continent in 1926. The success of this District is due to the members of my personal staff, officers, N.C.O.'s, and members of the various Divisions. They know that I value to the full th~ir support .and dev.otion .to the Cause they r epr esent, but I am pleased to have thiS opportUl11ty of r eIterating my appr eciation of their services in this respect. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, E . A. RICHARDS, Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John.

JOHN AMBULANCE BRIG ADE .

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER. 40 Merrion Square, Dublin. lIth April, 1927. SIR,-I beg to submit my Report for the year 1926. Our Brigade work has been carried on with efficiency, i.o my entire satisfaction, and the general discipline of my District has b en admirable. A large amount of Public Duty was carried on regularly and daily. Of the special occasions the outstanding features were the Athy 75 Mile Jotor Race, the Lelllster Hundred, two 25 Mile Motor Races at Phcenix Park, the Ozanam Pilgrimage to Lourdes, the Armistice Day Celebrations, and the Royal Dublin Societ.y's Shows. The work of the vVelfare Department has been continued. During the first six months the applications for help steadily increased, as many as fiity applicants being interviewed in a day. It was consequently found necessary to limit the assistance given to women who were able to attend the Dining Room, with the exception of giving Baby Clothes to other cases. The Brigade provides the money for civilian cases, the Joint Committee of B.R.C.S. and Order of t.] ohn pays for all ex-Service cases, and a grant is held from the United SerVIces Fund i.o provide artificial foods (where required) for ex-Servicemen's families. 310 mothers were helped, and 305 babies were born alive. Of these babies, 57 were artificially rcared. The babies are brought to the Department weekly for a period of a year, for inspection and weighing. This entailed 1,364 weighings. That so much has been accomplished with an expenditure of £7 7 16s. 3d., I attribute to the exercise of care and discrimination in the running of the Department, and to the wonderful amount of energy and enthusiasm displayed and voluntary help given. I would like to specially mention in connexion with this Department the work of Lady Superintendent Miss Barrington, Lady Ambulance Sister Miss Provis, and Miss Hunt. Amongst the efforts to raise funds specially for this Department were a dance and Sale of Work in November, which entailed a considerable amount of trouble, resulting in a sum of £207 15s. 7d. being received. At the First Aid Hut in O'Connen Street-the only Hut at present open in the City-734 cases were dealt with during the year. A large proportion of the cases treated came from the building operations going on in the destroyed areas around the site of the Hut. The negotiations with the Shipping Companies with regard to another Hut at North Wall, referred to in my last report, fell through, as the ompani s were not then willing to contribute to the cost of its upkeep. Recently, however, negotiations have been entered into with the Dublin Port and Docks Board, and this body is prepared to contribute £50 per annum if the large employers and men's unions concerned will take their share, and we are endeavouring to arrive at some satisfactory arrangement. It is hoped to get the Shipping Companies, Merchants, and Men's Unions to contribute the balance necessary for the running of this Hut, which we propose to equip and supply the personnel for. The Huts at Merrion Strand and Phcenix Park were open during the suit.able periods of the year, and were largely availed of. Our Ambulance Service, now that it is known by the doctors and public, is being called upon more frequently and is in daily use. Poor persons are brought to or from hospital free of charge, and in the case of people who can pay a small fce is charged. 357 patients were carried during the year. The Invalid Requisite Departments at Headquarters (40 Merrion Square), aas Nursing Division, and Bray Nursing Division were kept busy. At Headquarters 354 articles were lent during the year. Medical Stores from our Stores Department are issued free to Divisions for public duty. The demand has greatly increased. Lady Superintendent Mrs. Rowlette is in charge of these two Departments, and also travels with the majority of Ambulance cases when female patients are being carried . She is a very valuable officer. In connexion with these two Departments, most of the mending of linen, blankets, etc., was done by members of Harcourt Nursing Division, whilst the actual work of the Stores was done by girls from Bray Nursing Division, without whose valuable assistance the Department could hardly have been carried on.

The cost of the Irish Ambulance Gazette has been still further reduced, the deficit on the year's account being only £4 lOs. 9d. This is a matter for congratulation, and testifies to the interest and hard work of the Editor, Assistant Commissioner Col. Blackham, and Assistant Editor, District Lady Officer Miss E. F. Blandford, on whose shoulders most of the responsibility rests. We again sent teams to Belfast for the competitions in June, and the City of Dublin Ambulance Division won the Belfast and Ulster Men's Red Cross Cups, and Messrs. W. and R. Jacob and Co.'s Ambulance Division won the Lord Mayor's Cup. Headquarter's Nursing Division Team were runners-up for the Women's Ulster Red Cross Cup, with a total of 54 marks as against 60 gained by the winning team. The Finals of our Annual Competitions took place in Merrion Square on 5th June, with the following results : Dublin Ambulance Challenge Cup.- Jacob's" A" team. Irish Women's Challenge Cup.-Harcourt ursing Division. Dr. Webb's CI,ailenge Cup (Novices). - Jacob's Nursing Division. ~J\Iiddleton Curtis Drill Competition.-City of Dublin Nursing Division. Indivuiuat Challenge Cup (TVo1fzen).-Miss Agnes R. Gray, City of Dublin Nursing Division . Individual Challenge Cup (1I1en).-Pte. M. Haskins, City of Dublin Ambulance Divlsion. Retums Cup (l\Ien) .-St. James's Gate Ambulance Division (Supt. P. J. Tyrrell). Returns Cup (TVomen).-St. Stephen's Green Nursing Division (Lady Superintendent Mrs. A. E. Eager). The Annual Inspection was held on 19th June at the Royal Hospital, Kilmainham (the site of the old Priory of the Knights of St. John), by the courtesy of the Commandant, Col. J. Steele, D.S.O. \, e had the privilege of having as our Inspecting Officer the Deputy Chief CommiSSIOner, 01. G. A. Moore, C.M.G., D.S.O. There was a fine turn-out, in picturesque surroundings, and glorious weather. All felt it to be an historic occasion, tinged with sadness, as it was known that the fine old building would shortly cease to be the home of the old Pensioners who had for so long rested peacefully there. Some have since been moved to Chelsea, and some to a smaller building in the grounds of the Royal Hospital. The appeal for funds this year took the form of " Flag Days" only, held at the end of April. They were organized by Lady District Officer Mrs. K. J. Shanks, assisted by a Committee of the Divisional Superintendents, and were most successful in raislllg a sum of £ 61, which was made up of subscriptions, card and box collections. The expenses amounted to only £37. Our cordial thanks are due to our splendid Organizer, Lady District Officer Mrs. Shanks, and her assistants, who worked so hard to make the collection such a successful District effort. The Court Laundry Nursing Division was registered on 31st March, being the first Laundry Division in Ireland. Large First Aid and Home Iursing Classes were held during the winter both at Headq uarters and at the Brigade Hall, and resulted in some increase to the ranks of the Brigade . .Number~ of youn.g men and womeI?-' .however, who are not prepared to take up actIve work lil the BrIgade, take the trammg, and we have the satisfaction of knowing that they carry the knowledge into their various walks in life. The second session of the School of Instruction for men met in the early summer months. Forty-eight men qualified for the Certificate, and Superintendent J. F. 1cMahon, Browne and olan's Ambulance Division, won the Commissioner's Medal. I consider this advanced course of instruction a very valuable scheme, as it ensures our getting really efficient recruits for public duty. The special lectures have been delivered by eminent Lecturers, specialists in their subjects. My best thanks are due to the Chairman, Assistant Commissioner Sir Robert Tate, District Officers A. J. MacWilliam and J. P. MacNamara, Corps Superintendent Jas. H. Webb, and Superintendent F. J. Horne. A School of Instruction for Senior Members of the Nursing Divisions, run on somewhat different lines to the men's, was organized in the spring by Lady District Officer Miss L. Overend. Fiv:e medical lectures were given .by leading doctors, one on the History of ursing, by MISS Reed, a well-known HospItal Matron, and one on Ethics, by Lady District Ofncer Miss Overend. The attendance at this Course was purely voluntary, and was most satisfactory. No examination was held .

The Ladies' Swimming Club had another successful season. Commencing o~ 3rd May it continued twice a week until the end of July, and then once a week unbl the end 'of September. At the final meeting of .the ~lub nine m~mbers took p~rt in the test of swimming 50 yards to the sabsfactlOn of the 1l1structor, WhICh entitles them to wear the Club Cap (black and white). . The Ambulance arrangements for the Royal Dublin Society's Shows at Ballsbndge were again in the hands of Lady D~stri.ct Officer Mr~. Shanks.. . The men's side of this work (wh1ch ll1cludes all-Olght duty) IS carned out unde r the supervision of Superintendent \V. 1\1. Paget IIaffield of Glenageary Ambulance Division. P'l' ) . The or ganizers of a small Pilgrimage to Lourdes (the Ozanam I gnmage III September , asked for four Ambulance Sisters who could speak French to accompany the Pilgrims. Three Ambulance Sisters, in charge of Lady Ambulance Officer );Iiss A. A. Barry, of Headquarters Nursing Divisi0Il:, ,~ere select.ed for the ~uty, and the pilgrims, many of whom came from country dIstncts, 'were met and assIsted here and at Kingstown by Ambulance men. In October a" ursing Division 'Week " was held, when Lady Ambulance Ofncer iiss E. M. M. Biggs, of No. 3 Dist.rict, came over and met and addressed . a~l. the Dublin Nursing Divisions, those of Kingstown and Bray, and t~e country DIVIS~?nS at Naas and Sligo. Miss Biggs also visited He~dquarters, the Bngade IIall, the 1<1rst. Aid Huts, and was entertained by several seOl.or .Officers. . In conclusion, I wish to express my appreclabon of the serVIces. of .my Joyal and helpful District Staff. I feel that the .generaJ effIciency of my DIstnct IS due to excellent Staff work, carried out at all bmes wIth tact, self-sacr~fice, and sYn:p~thy. Particularly I would pay tribute to my. splendid colleagues AssIstant CommlsslOner A. J . Connor, Lady District Officer 1\l1ss E. F.

In addition to this exceedingly gratifying increase in membership, the utility of the Brigade, as a national asset, has also developed. The conduct of the Brigade personnel during the General Strike in :\Iay last merits general admiration. The Priory arranged with the Civil Commissioner to provide qualified men and women for First Aid work in case of civil disturbance, and I am proud to report that in response to this appeal the majority of our members volunteered for service. Throughout the year Ambulance and Tursing l\Iembers in most of the tov.ns and villages in \Vales, have been in daily attendance at the theatres, cinemas, and all public gatherings. Many incidents, proving the great value of this provision, have been brought to my notice, and we are endeavouring to secure such arrangements in all districts. Apart from the events occurring in the various localities for which the local Brigade Units have made themselves responsible, the Priory organized ambulance arrangements on several occasions during 1926. and it is a tribute to the value of our work that so many of these requests should have been made. P UBLIC DuTY.

Full advantage is being taken by \Nelsh Members of the Brigade of the facilities for enrolment in this new reserve, which is staffed solely by the St. John Ambulance Brigade. Many volunteers have been accepted for enrolment and applications are still being received. MILITARY

I " tIme of 0 supp emen ar f orcesf 0 t h e Crown m war or o~her natlOna~ emergency has not been taken up . wlth such keen enthUSIasm.

THE

144 BRICADE STAFF MEETlNQS.

ST.

JOHN AMBULA CE BRIGADE.

Owing to the industric;tl conditions only two meetings of the Brigade Staff were convened in 1926.

I wish to thank all those who last year gave trophies for ambulance competition in the various centres. The Priory received a handsome shield for cadets from Colonel J. Arnallt Jones, M.D., K.H.S., V.D., Commissioner for Glamorgan, and it is hoped to inaugurate this new contest during the current year. In addition to the centre competitions, arranged locally, the Priory organized contests for the Llandinam Shield and Arthur Griffiths Memorial "Cup. The event took place amid keen enthusiasm and the winning teams, namely the Llwynpia team and the Abertillery Nursing team respectively, represented Wales in the International contests held in London in June. The Commissioner for Wales was again asked by the Secretary of the Royal National Eisteddfod, Swansea, to take office as Honorary Director of Ambulance. Lady Lewis" and The principal contests were those for the Lady Bute" Cups of the Priory. The Treharris Divisional team was successful in winning the Lady Lewis" Cup, and the nursing cup was secured by the Liverpool Divisional team. An impetus to the ambulance work in the Northern Counties "vas provided by the competitions organized by the Priory at the request of the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society in connexion with the Bangor how. The first ambulance competition in the County of Brecon took place in J uly, at the fete held in the grounds of the residence of Lord Buckland of Bw1ch. There was an excellent number of entries, and the event attracted considerable attention. To assist the various centres in selecting dates for their respective competitions, Commissioners were asked at the beginning of the year to submit their programmes for the ensuing twelve months. These particulars of forthcoming competitions were then published in First Aid" and the local Press, and the arrangement resulted in larger entries.

COMPETITIONS.

Before passing on to the next branch of the Priory's work, I should like to thank those Ambulance and Nursing Divisions who fulfilled their financial obligation to Headquarters. Owing to the collieries being idle during the greater part of the year, many units, I regret to say, found it impossible to pay their quota. In appealing for their support during the current year I would express the hope of the Finance Committee that a big effort will be made by every Division to include with this year's subscription the amount due for the past twelve months. The means by which the units raise their quotas is left entirely t o the discretion of the officers in charge. In many districts a flag day or ent ert ainment is organized and in others the members prefer to personally contribute their quota of one penny per week. Beyond this nominal subscription the Priory makes no call upon the Brigade for financial support, and it is felt that one penny per week is an extremely small contribution for membership of one of the most ancient Orders of chivalry.

T,hat our ervlce IS fulfilllI~g an mcreasing need, not only among the collIery workers, but all seetIOns of the public, is shown by the returns for the pa t twel,ve months, A total number of 3,297 cases were carried bl the cars statlOned at Ammanford, Bridgend, Cardiff, Coedely, Cross Keys, ,Gwaun-cae-Gurwen, Kenfig Hill, Llanbradach, Llanelly, ~.o~~ypn~d, Treorchy and Tumble, The aggregate mileage was 3,()31 mde , These figures are considerably in excess of those for 1925.
