On 3rd June, 1927, Major H. D. Minchinton, 1st Battalion 1st Gurkha .Rifles, -started from Triund Rest House in the Himalayas with two Gurkha sold:ers to climb Mount Mun, which rises to 15,500 feet. They climbed the mountain and then started to descend, all three being roped together. They were on a steep snow slope slowly progressing by cutting steps when Baghtir Thapa, one of the ~';1rkhas, :slipped. The rope held by the other two saved him, but as he was regallllllg hIS

place on the cut. steps h e felt himself suddenly ?ragged off his feet by a pull of the rope and in an lllstant all three men were rolllllg down the slope at great speed. 'Vhen they stopped Baghtir Thapa found that his officer and the other Gurkha were too badly hurt to move any farther and accordingly it was arranged that he should go for help. This he did and called to the rescue Lieut. G. F. Bain Smith, LA.O.C., the first officer whom he met. Lieut.-Col. Holdcrncss, OIC 1st I3att. 1st Gurkha Rifles, in an official letter to the higher Military Autllorities, says : " After reaching an altitude of 10,500 feet at Lakka, Lieutenant Bain Smith _had to climb more than 3,000 feet farther to get to the injured man. As far as Lakka camping ground there is a forest road III very bad repair, but above this t.he sheep t.racks were of no use, and Lieutenant Bain Smith had to ta~e to the open mountrlinsidc. Normally speaking, no sane man would attempt to climb these mountains \\'ithout properly nailed boots ana an ice axe. Further, no sane man \\'ould go far from Lakka without companions and a rope. l.ieutenant Bain Smith, who had neycr bcen on a hill beforc, wcnt alone without boots and without an ice axe. His phm-solcd shoes he had to discard as he could not stand up in them, and he spent the rest of the day and the night in his stockinged feet. From 4.30 p.m ., when he first reachcd ;"Iajor ~Illlchinton, till dark, which closes clo\\'n soon after 10 p.m., Lieutenant Bain Smith climbed to the camping ground and up twice. I do not think anyone unacquainted 'with these mountains can realize the mere physical cffort which tbis cntailed on a man who had already climbed from 6,000 fect altitude at Dharmeala t.o 13,500 feet, which was approximately the height at whicll .:Ylajor ;"1inchinton wa~ found. In addition to this Lieutenant Bain mith had, as I ha\'c already pointed out, been in his stockinged feet on rock, snow, and latcr frozen snow since about 2.30 p.m. " Clad entirely in cotton clothcs, Lieutenant Bain Smith gaYe his coat to Major ~,ImchintoIl, and from then onwards tlll J.30 a.m. on the 4th he was clad only in <1 shirt, a pair of shorts, and a pair of stockings in the bitter Alpine atmosphere. ] :001 9.30 a.m. 0!l the 3rd t~ 3.30 a .m. on thc 4th he was entirely without food.

At 1.30 p.m. on 26th October, 1926, John Mallinson and "'illiam Mills went into a 52 inch \Yater main beneath allotments at Harlington Road, Feltham, for the purpose of painting thc joints with I3itulac." Access to the main is aained from a small brick building and thence by descending a 20 foot iron ladder~ At about 6 p.m. as ;"Ialltnson had not returned to his home, Harry Anson, a fellow lodger, \\'ent to the mam to see what was wrong. He descended the ladder and located Mallinson in the main. He tried to reach him but O\vin a to the fumes was unsucccssful. p.e. \Vood, who had been informed, arrived and' at once accompanied Anson about 100 yards along the plpe where they found Mallinson semi-conscious but helpless. They brought him to the foot of the ladder and with the aid of Dr. :;Voocls and P.C. Priest to t~le surface: After artificial respiration by the doctor he \-\ as ab.le to go .home, but saId tI:at 1hlls was farther along the pipe. P.C.

MIlls was hrought to the surface by means of ropes and after artificial respiration by Dr. 'Voods taken home. All were very much affected by the fumes. . The heavy fum~s of the t< ~itulac ", the foul atmosphere owing to lack of ventilation, and the seml.- and at ~lmes total darkness in which the party worked made the res~ue exceptionally dIfficult, and it is practically certain that but for the pro~ptitude and bravery displayed by P.C.

On 27th April, 1927, a boy aged 3 fell into the Bourne Stream at Whyteleaf, Surrey, and was carried into a culvert passing for a distance of 100 yards under the house and road. On being informed of the accident Private Moore made two unsuccessful efforts to get through the cuh'ert, which is about 3 feet high and which was half full of flood water, but had to give up owing to the presence of sewer gas by which he was overcome. He then descended a manhole near the end of the culvert and going under the road succeeded in recovering the chIld, who was then dead. There was a very strong current running through the culvert owing to the rise of the Bourne water and Moore was exhausted by his continued efforts. He ran great risk to his own life in attempting to save the child.

AWARDED A CERTIFIC\TE OF Frederick James Austin, labourer.

HO~OUl~.

On 22nd October, 1926, at Blackwall Lane, East Greenwich, a busy thoroughfare leading from Blackwall Tunnel, a horse attached to a butcher's van wIthout a driver was going at full gallop when Frederick James Austin dashed out and seized the horse. He was dragged about 50 yards when the horse swerved and he was knocked down. The horse and van passed over him, injuring him and damagin3 his clothing. Austm had by then almost brought the animal to a stacdstill, and it was fmally stopped. by a passerby without any exertion. TO one was injured, but there were persons in actual danger as there were a number of vehicles and pedestrians on the road at the time. There 1S a lugh wooden fence along one side which would have made it imposslbl~ for the persons who were there to get out of the way had the horse taken to that sIde of the road. Austin sustained a slight cut on his forehead, and abrasions on leIt hand and. right foot. After treatment at the Greenwich and D eptford HospItal he was allowed to go home.

AWARDED CERTIFICATES OF HO~OUR. John F. Beckley, casual labourer, and George Vaughan, salesman. On 16th January, 1927, at Ufford Street, Lambeth, a powerful horse attached to a milk van took fright and bolted. It rushed into \Vebber Street, where it collided with a wall and the side of the van was broken . The horse then galloped down the street and Beckley rushed at the horse's head and seized the lel11S but ',."as shaken off. A moment afterwards Vaughan ran to the horse, seized th e relllS, and hanging on, was carried for some distance through a crowd of people wlio were shopping in the New Cut. He finally succeeded m bringing it to a st.andstill in Cornwall Road. Beckley was bruised on his left hip, shoulder, and side of face, but no one else appears to have been injured.

AWARDED A CERTIFIC.\TE OF IIOKOUR. Eric Goodey, plumber's mate. On 4th May, 1927, Eric Goodey was entering the premises where he is employe<.l in London Street, R eading, when he heard shouts and on looking towards the top of that street he saw a horse attached to a baker's four-wheeled van galloping at a great speed down the street towards him. One of the wheels of the van was broken, and the driver was doing all in his power to pull the horse up, but it was beyond his control. Goodey, r ealizing that there was danger ahead pluckily, and at great risk to himself, dashed towards the horse as it approached, and was fortunately able to grasp the reins. Although lifted off his feet and carried a considerable distance he still hung on to the reins. \Vhen he again got his feet to the ground, after being dragged about 150 yards, he succeeded in bringing the horse to a standstill. It then began to kick and plunge, but Goodey managed to retain hold of it and eventually it quietened down. The street in question is one of the principal thoroughfares in the Borough, with two lines of tram rails running through it. The prompt and courageous action of Goodey averted what would undoubtedly have resulted in serious injury to pedestrians as the direction in which the horse was running away was downhill into a very busy thoroughfare where there are cross roads .

The War :Memorial Book, so long m preparatIOn, IS now almost ready for binding. The lectern to hold it has already been delivered, and now stands in the Chapter-Hall. This lectern, constructed in ebony and silver, was designed and executed under the direction of Mr. John Williams, Director of the Hammersmith School of Art. The picture representing the Investiture by the Sub-Prior of the Governor of 1alta as a Knight of Grace in the throne-room of the Grand jlaster's Palace in Valetta, during the Pilgrimage of 1926, has been purchased and hung provisionally in the Chancery, since it is the only pace available. This picture was painted by Mr. E. C. Dingli, of Malta, Knight of Grace of our own, and of the Sovereign Order. A new standard has been presented to the Order by Mrs. J. A. Man Stuart, Dame of Grace, to replace the old standard, which now hangs in the Chapter Hall. Both were embroidered by the Royal School of Art Needlework, Kensington. The sale of the surplus coins from the Order's collection was completed during the year, the last of them having been disposed of to Messrs. Spink and Son. The total sum realized by the sale of these coins is £243 16s. lid. A special medal commemorative of the Pilgrimage of 1926 and of the ew Royal Chapter has been designed by Mr. E. C. Dingli, under the directions of the Library Committee. An illustration of this medal appears as a frontispiece to this report.

The activity of overseas centres also continues to be apparent, an~ thIS report would be incomplete without a reference to the good work bemg done by the Central Councils in South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. Since the recent establishment of these Councils, ~uch progress has undoubtedly been made in those Dominions. There would also seem to be a revival of interest in Bermuda where a class has been held and others are in process of formation with a view to a Division of the. St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas being established. It is also satIsfactory to find that several detached classes in new areas overseas have .also been formed, namely in Iraq (consisting of Assyrians), in JamaIca? a?d at ~ort Harcourt (Nigeria). NegotIatlOns WIth the War Office for the examination of recruits of the Royal Army :Jfedical Corps at the Training Establishment at Crookham Camp were carried through to a successful conclusion and a number ?f classes. have been held, and inquiries from a detachment of the Royal AIr Force m Egypt have been received.

The Secretary of State for Home ffairs has approved the propo'al for an annual competition by teams of members of the Police Forces in England, Wales, and the Isle of Man for the silver cup presented by Dr. F. de B. Pim, a Knight of Grace of the Order and an Assi tant Commissioner of the St. John Ambulance Brigade. The cup is a very handsome trophy weighing 220 ounces, and standing 28~ inches high. Arrangements are now in progress for holding the competition. A competition committee composed of Chief Constables has been formed in each of the nine Police Districts. An eliminating competition will be held in each District in January, 1928, for the purpose of selecting a team to represent it in the final, which will be held in London in February. A large number of entries for the eliminating competition i expected and it is anticipated that the competition will greatly stimulate the interest of the Police Forces of the country in first aid. MEDICAL COMFORTS DEPOTS. The demand by centres of the Association and divisions of the Brigade for assistance from the funds generously placed at the disposal of the Association by a well-wisher for the establishment of medical comforts depots in the provinces has not been great, only eight applications having been received during the year. There is, therefore, still available to those desirous of establishjng depots in the provinces, a sum sufficient to assjst

Contd.

with the formation of thirty-one further depots. The number of depots established in London as the result of grants made by the Association from the funds placed at its disposal by the Sunday Cinema Fund Committee of the Order is seven . MEMBERS FROM OVERSEAS. Owing to tne Ul1uCUllY of finding subjects of gener.al interest to .all centres overseas and to the limited number of members In London dunng June a conference was not held . Those members, however, who were in London on 23rd June were invited to St. John's Gate that day and were addressed by the Chancellor of the Order, who gave them an account of the more interesting activities of the Association and the Brigade at home, after which they were shown the film which Mr. J. Grossman had kindly prepared and presented to the Order. .... . The Association was particularly fortunate thIS year In Its VlsItors from Canada, among whom must be mentioned Sir Percy A. Sherwood, E:.C.M.G. , il1.V.O., Presjdent of the Canadian Branch, and Lieut. Commander P. 1. Filleul, R.N. (ret.), Assistant Secretary. Many matters which have been engaging the attention of the Association were discussed with them, and brought to a satisfactory conclusion. XEW CE TRES. The formation of centres in New Zealand at \Vanganui, Invercargill, and Timaru were approved during the year, and also in South Africa for Rhodesia. The extension of the area of the Hull Centre to include the whole of the East Riding of Yorkshire was also approved. J SAFETY FIRST CONFERENCE. In ~ov e mb e r the Director of the Ambulance Department and the Chief ~ ecretary attended a conference arranged by the National Safety First Association. The conference was most instructive and showed that as a result of safety first instruction in schools the number of accidents to children had been reduced. The Director addressed the conference and suggested that Cadets of the St. John Ambulance Brigade might with advantage interest themselves in the subject. He also indicated the part played by the Order, and the Home Service Ambulance Committee of the Order and British Red Cross Society in dealing with accidents on the road. FIRST AID FILM AND PRACTICAL EXHIBITIONS. The official demonstrator of the Association, Mr. C. Hanmer, continues to receive many requests for his exhibitions. A number of meetings have been held throughout the year all of which have been well attended. In several cases owners and proprietors of halls in different parts of the country have shown their sympathy with the work of the Association by 'placing their halls at Mr. Hanmer's disposal free of charge, a kindness whIch has been greatly appreciated. INVALID TRANSPORT CORPS. The total number of removals and invalids carried during the past twelye months has been 1966. Many of the journeys undertaken were of con~I~erable length; the total mileage being as shown in the table. In addItIon to removals by Motor Ambulance, several long journeys 'were

are realizing the benefit of such a servic~ and are now giving the. help necessary to enable us to extend it . In thIS respe~t a number of Um~s .of the Brigade are indebted to their local CouncIls . The~e authont.les appreciate that the service is in existence ~~l~ly for suffenng .humamty and make an annual grant or provide facilItIes for the housmg of the ambulance and suitable accommodation for the personnel.

OBITUARY. It is with regret that I have to report the death of Commissioner W. H. ,Vinny, No.1 (Prince of \Vales) Di trict . Mr. \Vinny had given many years of se~·vice in promoting the interests of the Brigade and played a larae part m the present position it holds in the Metropolitan Area.

The Right Hon. the Lord Mayo: of London accoI?p~nie.d by the Lady Mayoress inspected the No.1 (Pnnce of Wales) DIstnct m Hyde Park, and at which many members of the Order were present. During the year I inspected the Birmingham Corps, and the Newcastleon-Tyne Corps, other inspections having to be cancelled on account of illness. Colonel G. A. Moore, the Deputy Chief Commissioner, inspected the South-East Lancs Corps, Nottingham Corps, and the Slough Town Division. Colonel C. I. Ellis, the Assistant-Surgeon-in-Chief, inspected the Bristol Corps, Hull Corps, Plymouth Corps, and Cheshire Units. In all cases the esprit de corps was excellent, the parades were well organized, the officers and men were well turned out, and showed a high standard of efficiency and keenness in their work.

PUBLIC DUTY. Duty in the streets, open space, cinemas, and other places of amu ement has been extensively carried out as in previous years. An analysis of the Returns show that over 355,103 cases of accident amI sudd~n illness received attention by Brigade members. Several reports mentIon the great assistance received by units from local authorities. ~n the larger cities the Mayors in most ca es take an active personal Interest in the local divisions, and at all times and in all places the police are both friendly and helpful. HOSPITAL INSTRUCTIO~ A ~ D DISTRICT WELF.\'RE WORK. The Brigade is most grateful to the many JIatrons throughout the ~ountry.who. afford. Jursin~ Members opportunities for receiving practical lnstructIon m theIr hospItals. The practical instruction recei\'ed by :VIembers of the Nursing Divisions in civil hospitals; from Di trict Nurses and from the Trained Turses enrolled in the Brigade, ha fitted many of them to be of real assistance to their less fortunate brothers and sister~ in t~me of sickness. They are also rendering valuable service under the ~rectlOns of. doctors and District urses, more especially in poor outlymg and agrIcultural districts . In addition duties are undertaken at Infant Welfare Clinics, Massage Clinics, and Ambulance Transport work when females are being removed. AMBULANCE TRA SPORT SERVICE. The value of this service to the country is inestimable. Within a few years a transport system has been built up by the Officers and member., ?f which the Brigade can be truly proud. The saving of hundreds of lives IS due to the efficient organization which exists for the prompt turn out of an ambulance accompanied by trained personnel. Its members are ever ready to turn out day and night to answer a call and many have been the commendations of coroners on the service provided to mankind by the St. J ohn Ambulance Brigade. With the exception of small charges for th~ removal of invalids the service is entirely voluntary, and the cost of .mamtenance is provided by the organization of socials, dances, whist dnves, and public appeals. At first our efforts to create a transport service by the help of the Home Service Ambulance Committee's cars were cramped for want of support, but I am pleased to report that the public

The hields, Cups, and Prizes were presented by the Lady Patricia Ramsay. . At those Competitions I had the pleasure of announcing that a Trophy 111 the form of a unique silver and enamelled Challenge Shield had been presented to Colonel C. J. Trimble, the senior Commissioner in the Brigade, by his District on the 70th anniversary of his birthday, as a token of the esteem in which he was held and as a memorial to his manv years' untiring and energetic work on behalf of the .Brigade in I O. '4 District, and was offered by him to the Order for competition throughout the Brigade at Home.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL.

I had much pleasure in accepting the Trophy on behalf of the Order, and agreed that in future it shall be awarded to the Team gaining the highest marks in the Individual Practical ection of the (( Dewar " Challenge Shield Competition. The trophy was won by the Cardiff and District Team. The Competitions were highly satisfactory, and a complete succes . Thanks again to the generosity of 1\1r. Joseph Grossman the Team Tests were filmed and realistically staged. The high standard of efficiency in First Aid displayed by both Ambulance and Nursing teams was most gratifying. This high standard is in the main due to the valuable services rendered to the Brigade by its Surgeons. Upon them fall the responsibility for the instruction of members in First Aid and Home ursing, not only for Competition pllrpose , which form only a comparatively small part of their work, but for dutie which the Brigade is constantly being called upon to perform in its many sphere of activity. Only those who are actively connected with the organization of Fir t Aid Competitions can fully appreciate what we owe to our Brigade Surgeons, especially when it is remembered that they are busy profe sional men and women and have very little time at their disposal. On them falls the work of framing the scheme, the drawing up of the marking sheet', and the long strain of judging the actual competitions. Their readine s to assist the First Aider to acquire knowledge acts as an in pi ration and encourages the 50,000 lay men and women to continue their. tudi sand practice First Aid and Home Nursing, and to combine together for the public advantage. To the Judges' Committee, Judges, my Organizing taff, and all those who contributed to the success of the Competitions, not only in London, but also in the County and District Preliminaries, I tender my sincer thanks. AMBULANCE BEADQ ARTERS .

T~anks

to the assistance of the public and concessions granted by the Terntorial Army Associations, Local Councils, and the Police, unit of the Brigade have in the majority of cases suitable H eadquarters in which to meet together and carryon their First Aid practices and drill . The main desire of units is to possess permanent Headquarters and many schemes are now on foot to fulfill this desire. One local Council i making an appeal to the public for sufficient funds to build permanent head9.uarters for the local Division. If all Councils would take up the housmg question of its local Division, the Officers and members would be able to greatly extend their present activities. RESERVES.

As regards the Royal Auxiliary Sick Berth Reserve, I can do no better than ,:-ppend extracts from the Inspecting Medical Officer's report to the Dlrector General, Naval Medical Service. (( The Reserve has been maintained at full strength throughout the year. (( 947 Reservists underwent training during the year. This represents 74' 3 per cent of the total complement, as compared with 78'1 the average for the previous three years. Reservists from several

Corps and Divisions were not allowed to train owing to the prevalence of Small Pox in the ilistrict in which they lived. Ashington, HoughtonIe-Spring and other North Durham districts, involving about 100 men, were affected during the whole year, and about 50 men from other districts were likewise temporarily affected. Making allowance for the reservists who were so prevented from training, 84'2 per cent trained out of those permitted to do so. It is considered that this is a very satisfactory percentage, bearing in mind the fact that many reservists find great difi1culty in obtaining permission to absent themselves from their employment, thus entailing the sacrifice of the whole of their annual holiday. " During the year I inspected the reservists belonging to 28 Corps and Divisions of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, at four centres, namely Crewe, Manchester, Oldham, and Bolton. The attendances were very satisfactory, 82',5 per cent of the total strength being present: only 4<5 per cent were absent without being excused. " .A very high degree of efficiency was obtained in drill discipline, and the various Fir t Aid Tests wbich were set: the re ervists were found to be particularly smart in appearance, keen, and capable." The ~~ilitary. Ho. pitals Re~erve is.l~aking steady progress. The year do ed WIth an lmprovement III recrmtmg and a more definite prospect of a ubs~a~~ial increase in the 1 T~W Year. In England the following Corps and Dl\71 lOns have each prOVIded o\-er 20 Reservists-Oldham, Leeds, and Bristol Corps; Blackburn and \Yhiteha\Ten Divisions; and in \Yales, the ~eath orps has provided 50 Reservi ts. The total number of volunteers accepted to date is 637 . 276 Reservists undenvent a week's course of training at ~Tilitary Hospitals. and the Reports on their training are very .ati factory.

O. 1\1. Dickinson, and it ~Ives me. much pleasure to report that this Officer shows an equal keen mterest m the welfare and efficiency of the Reserve to that of his predecessor. ROAD SERVICE SCHEME .

Finance is at pr~ e~t restricting the efforts of the Brigade to fully compl,ete t.he orga~lzatlOn, but notwithstanding this fact a great deal of work IS bemg carned out on the highways of the country more especially at week-en? and Bank Holiday periods. In CheshIre, Cumberland, and Lancashire a number of First Aid Posts have been established mostly of a temporary nature, and can be moved so as .to mC,et the exigenci~s of the circumstances. In many instances the ~)rst AId Posts compnse Bell Tents fully equipped with First Aid applIances and patrols operate two or three miles in each direction. In Kent, Surrey, and Sussex, 26 First Aid Boxes have been erected and abo~t 30 Mobile First Aid Posts established. Over 580 cases of accident re~e.l~ed attentio.n during the latter part of the year. The Farningham D~v~s~on dealt WIth 250 casualties, whilst the Gravesend and Northfieet DlvlslOn had 211 cases. My thanks are due to the Kent Automobile Club who voted £120 for the purchase of Roadside Boxes.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GE ERAL.

In Bucks 22 First Aid Posts have been established and over 300 accidents on the roads dealt with, whilst First Aid Boxes are being erected at dangerous cross-roads. In Cornwall First Aid Posts are established in many places and splendid work is being undertaken by the Divisional ambulances. Dorset ambulances received 33 call to attend road accidents. Devon Units are carrying out Road Patrol duty, motors and cyclists being utilized on the long stretches of moorland roads. In Suffolk and 1 orfolk divisions are all linked up with one another and an efficient organization e"'ists to meet accident calls. Reports to hand refer in more than one instance to the steadying effect the Brigade uniform has on motorists when approaching places \vhere First Aid Posts are established or where men happen to be stationed. I congratulate the Units who have taken up the Road en'ice cheme on the spirit which prompted their members to take on this extra duty, and it is hoped that in due course every a sistance, both financial and in kind, will be received from the various motorist organizations in thi ~ country. VOLUNTARY AID DETACH?lIE TS.

MEDICAL COivIFORTS DEPOTS.

Nine Medical Comforts Depots have been sanctioned during the year making a total of 32 now being run by the Brigade in various parts of the country. This branch of Brigade work does an amount of helpful work to assist the poor sick, and in illness a little practical help is worth a deal of pity. Wherever these depots are established the popularity of the local Division is greatly increased. FI ANCE.

The finances of units generally are in a healthy condition. It i needles to say how absolutely necessary are the efforts of all ranks to rai e funds for equipment and uniform and from reports received it is evident that th utility of the Brigade will not be cramped for the want of this effort. Much financial help and support have been received from some jlunicipal Authorities but in the main the Divisions have only the public to appeal to for help. The means adopted are many, but those which are most popular and have also a double advantage are Socials, \Vhi t Drives, Dances, and Concerts. CONFERENCES AND CHURCH PARADES.

In most districts the number of Conferences held are increasing. In some districts they are on a large scale, and compose representatives from

a wide area; in other they are organized by Assistant Commissioner or Corps Superintendents, and being less expensive can be held more frequently. Such meetings tend to a closer association between units and afford a good opportunity for interchange of views in Brigacte matters. There has also been an increase in the number of Church parades held, some being combined and including units from other districts, but the majority being those of single units attending their local church. BRIGADE FILM.

The film showing various activities of the Association and Brigade which was presented to the Order by Mr. Joseph Grossman, an associate member of the Order, is proving of the greatest value in educating the public in the work of the Order. Owing to it occupying only twenty minutes to show, no difficnlty has been found in getting it introduced in the programmes ot the provincial cinemas, and it has been warmlv welcomed by the local audiences. Three films have already been w;rn out by constant use, and three new ones are now on tour. It is estimated that over 2 million people have already seen the film. A copy of the film was purchased by the N.S. Wales Centre, Australia. GE~ER.AL.

Th~ pr:sent condition of the Brigade is due entirely to the hard and conSC!entlOus work of ranks, a~d they are worthy of all praise. I thank everyone for theIr loyal aSSIstance and co-operation during the past year.

During the year ended 31st December, 1927, 443 Service Medals for fifte:n years' ~ompleted service, and 276 Bars, for every five years' further effi.Clent serVIce, have been awarded to the following Members of the Bngade : SERVICE MEDALS.

ST. JOH AMBULA~CE BRIGADE O\TER 'EA . The following is extracted from the report o[ the Chief ommissioner, Serjeant-Surgeon Sir R. Havelock Charles, G.C.V.O., K.C.S.I., :'I.D., F.R.C.S.I. : Progress has again been made both in strength and efficiency: 24 newambulance and 7 new nursing Divisions have been formed, but 8 ambulance and 7 nursing Divisions have been recorded as disbanded during the year. The approximate strength of the Brigade Oversea at 31 t December, 1927, was 1 : Ambulance Nursing.

Divisions. 203

Members. 6,296 2,023

300

8,319

This js an increase of 16 Divisions and 963 members. The Cadet movement has not increased very rapidly during the year; most Dominions having to feel their way very carefully in this direction. The Cadet strength of the Brigade Overseas at 31st December, 1927, was 10 Cadet Divisions (8 ambulance and 2 nursing) with a total membership of 340. The fourth Conference of overseas members was held at St. John's Gate 1 These figures are subject to amendment as and when annual returns are received from the Districts.

on the 23rd June, under the Chairmanship of the C~ancellor of the Order, Sir Aylmer Hunter-Weston, K.C.M.G .. The gathenng was mor~ largely attended than the meeting of the prevIOus year, and represen~at1ves were present from Australia, India, {'"ew. Zealand, .an? South ~fnca. ~t the close of the meetina the representatIves were mVlted to WItness a dIsplay of the film portraying the various activities of the Order. I am glad to be able to report that ~he number of Ser~"ice ~Iedals of the Order issued to member of the Bngade Overseas dunng the year was 118, an increase of 30 over las t year' figures, and the number of Bars was 22 and this was an increase of 8. , The revision of the Statutes and H.eglliations of the Order made it necessary for the General Regu~ations of the Brig<;tde ~verseas to be again revised. This was accordmgly done and copIes Clrculated to all . Divisions by the end of the year. There is a pos. ibility of an exten ion of the work of the Bngade Overseas, at Kenya Colony and Bermuda \vhere classes of ins~ruction h~\~e. been held. Inquiries have been made regarding the fo~matIOn of a ~~~lsIOn of the Brigade Overseas in each Colony, and there IS every posslbihty that these units will be registered during the coming year. I would thank those Divisions which responded to my last year's appeal for subscriptions for the Ophthalmic Hospital .at J erusal~rr:t .and would express the hope that others will do the same thl~ year. DIVISIOns will have heard during the year of the earthquake WhICh caused severe: damage to the Hospital, and therefore will know that the need for funds is urgent. \Yith regard to the work in each Dominion, I have to report that in : AusTRALIA.- The well-being of the Brigade has been maintained in all Districts under the charge of the Chief Commissioner for Australia. Yew Divisions have been formed in the ~ ew South \Vales and Victoria Districts, and there has also been an increase in the membership of existing Divisions; the member hip in the New South \Vales District now being close on 1,000. During the year, the yi it of Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of York gave several opportunities for the members of the Brigade Overseas to perform public duty, among which was the occasion of the opening of the Commonwealth Parliament House at Canberra when a specially selected squad was on duty. CANADA.-The work in this Dominion remains steady and the formation of new Divisions during the year at Timmins, Bridgeburg, Vvinnipeg, Edmonton, and Fort Garry would point to progress. HONG Ko G.-The Divisions of the Brigade Overseas in the Hong Kong District continue to render good service and to increase in strength and efficiency. In view of their geographical position which places them at a great distance from other units of the Brigade Overseas the loyalty and devotion of the members and the efficiency of their organization deserves much commendation. I desire to express my thanks to Mr. Ralphs and Mr. T. K. Chak who kindly presented to the Order a small Chinese idol. CEYLO)l'.-During the year Dr. G. Thornton left Ceylon prior to his retirement, and Professor F. O'B. Ellison has kindly undertaken the

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL.

duties of Acting Assistant Commissioner. The strength of the Ceylon Police Corps continues to increase. I DIA.-During the early part of the year Colonel Needham, the Assistant Commissioner of the No.1 District, India, while on a tour through India consented to inspect Brigade Overseas units and look into their activities, and was attached to Indian Headquarters for this purpose. The results of his visits have proved of the greatest value both to Headquarters at Home and in India. My thanks are due to him for his high interest in the work of the Brigade. The standard of efficiency in all four Districts has been well maintained . 1\1rs. Lancelot Dent, the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief of the Brigade Overseas, left England in the autumn of 1927 for a tour of inspection of India and from reports already received it is obvious that her vi it is being, and will be, productive of much good in India. MALTA.-The standard of work here is being well maintained. NEW ZEALAI D.-The work here is progressing well, and new Divisions have been formed in all Districts. Among these newly formed Divisions is the first Cadet Divisions to be formed in New Zealand. One feature has been the development of ambulance work among the railways; many classes have been held and Divisions of railwaymen formed at various places in the Dominion. During the year the increase in activity of the Wanganui Corps has led to the formation of a separate \Vanganui District which includes Divisions in the Wanganui area previou ly in the Wellington District. There have been two changes of uperior Officers during the year. In the Otago District Colonel trong has resigned and been succeeded by Major Borrie, and in the Wellington District Ir. A. O. Richardson has been appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the r signation of Major Vine owing to his departure from the District. Public duty was performed on the visit of T.R.H. the Duke and Duche s of York, when during the various functions held there were 830 member on duty. The work of the Brigade Overseas on these occasions was highly commended by the civic authorities and others. SOUTH AFRICA.-Our work here again shows a continued increase both in the Railway District and the non-railway Districts. Ten Divi ions and 1 Cadet Division have been registered during the year, bringing the total number of units in South Africa to 82 Divisions and 3 ections. I am happy to record that H.R.H. Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, has kindly consented to accept the position of Lady Superintendent-in-Chief of the nursing units within South Africa. I regret very much to have to report the death of Lt.-Colonel F. H. Brennan, Assistant Commi sioner of the Transvaal District, which under Colonel Brennan's command greatly increased its activities during the past few years. Lt.-Colonel F. H. Peacock has very kindly consented to take over the position thus rendered vacant. Mrs. Lancelot Dent, after her tour in India, will proceed direct to South Africa to carry out a tour of inspection of the nursing units within South Africa. GE TERAL. My thanks are due to Mrs. Lancelot Dent, A.R.R.C., for her keen interest in the affairs of the Brigade Overseas as evidenced by her tours

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL. OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL, JERUSALEM.

The following is extracted from the Thirty-Sixth Report of the Committee : The earthquake which visited Jerusalem and the Holy Land on 11th July s.everel:y: ~amaged the Hospital and the Warden's Lodge, though luckIly r:o mJury was done to any of the patients or the staff. The \Varden wIth commendable promptitude hired tents from the ~overnmen t a~d had them pitched facing the Hospi talon the other sIde of the mam road, where the Out-patient work was carried on with hardly a break till the debris could be cleared away and the damage made good. The tents were not struck till the end of October. To add to his trouble the Warden was very short-handed at the time as both the. Registrar and the House Surgeon had left at the end of J~ne . The RegIstrar .had only arrived at the beginning of June, a stranger to the ~ork and Ignorant of t~e language, and there was no third surgeon. Luckily, help was f~rthcommg from Mrs. Stuart, ~l.B., who voluntarily attended t~ree mormngs a week and gave most valuable service, for which the CommIttee tends her the most sincere thanks. The Grand Prior issued an appeal early in August to all Members of the Order and their friends to help raise funds to repair the damage and at the same time to enable the Order to carry out other much needed work .of developm~n.t and construction in connexion with the Hospital, espeC:Ially the p~oVlsIOn of an Annexe for Acute Conjunciiviti ca e , the erection of paymg patient wards, the provision of a house for the ub~arden, and the installation of up-to-date baths and lavatories, together WIth the necessary adjustment of the drainage system. At the close of the financ~al year, 30th September, 1927, the sum of £5,629 ls.4d. had been recelved as a result of the appeal. Donations are still coming in. The appeal cl?ses on St. John's Day, 1928, after which a complete list of subscnbers will be published. It woul? naturally be thought that a calamity such as the earthquake would se.nously affec~ the numbers and show a marked shrinkage compared wIth the prevIOus year, but that is not the case. In-Patients have decreased from 1,490 to 1,391, but this decline is not wholly due to ~he earthquake~ but to the fact that more operations are being undertaken 1n the Out-Patients' Department and more intra-ocular cases are being dealt with in the beds, and these cases make a longer stay. In September, October, and November the number of In-Patients was practically the same as last year. The new Out-Patients, so far from showing a falling-off, have sprung from 18,127 to 20,051. The earthquake had no deterrent effects on them at all. In Total Consultations there is a very marked decrease. In 1926 they were 87,883; this year they had fallen to 85,564. Operations numbered 4,2~4 in 1926, but by inadvertence and during the absence of the Warden m England many operations were registered as such which in the ordinary course would not have appeared at all. Therefore, the figure of 3,651 for 1927 is, under the circumstances quite satisfactory. ' ~here have been many changes in the staff during the year under reVIew. The Registrar, Mr. VV. E. Thompson, left at the end of June to take up

an appointment with the Anglo-Persia? Oil COl?pany in. Iraq. He is a great loss to the staff. His long offiCIal acquamtance WIth Jerusalem as a member of the Department of Health before he joined the Hospital staff, and his consequent command of the language, proved of great value while he worked for the Order. . At the same time the Warden lost the serVIces of Mr. Shelley, ~ho had been connected with the Hospital, with inter".als, over a .long penod. His home is in Jerusalem, but he has calls whl~h take ?Im away. to Australia from time to time, and he felt that he dId not wIsh to be .tIed for another year. He has been a great help to the Warden, especIally as he could talk to the patients in their o~ tongue. . To fill the post of Registrar, t?e. Commlttee has appomted a lady, Miss Muriel Hamilton, M.B. ThlS IS a new departure, but the Committee is confident that experience will justify the appointment. The office of Sub-Warden, which has been vacant since 1925, has been conferred on Colonel H. Ainsworth, M.B., F.R.C.S., late I.M.S., who took up his duties in Augu~t. He has. had c?nsiderable experience of ophthalmic work during thIrty years m India, and from 1909-1923, except for a period of military. duty during the \iVar, was Professor .of Ophthalmic Surgery at the Medical College, Lahore, where he had entire charge of the eye work, both in College and Hospital. .He also took a special course of instruction in X-Ray work at Milbank m 1907 . Miss Nellie Ingham has been appomted Matron, and she took up her post at the end of September. She speaks the language fluently, having worked in Palestine for four years before the War, and knows the country well. She has a very good War record, ending as Assistant Matron in General Hospitals 41 and 62 at Salonika. Since the \Var she has been Matron of the Government Hospitals at Haifa and Jerusalem. Lady Watson has been awarded by Chapter-General the Medal for Conspicuous Service to the Order in connexion with her v~luable wO.rk for the Hospital over a period of many years. The CommIttee heartily congratulates her. The High Commissioner, H.E. Field-Marshal the Lord Plumer, has consented to invest the new Members of the Staff, together with any other Members of the Order in Palestine awaiting admission or promotion, at an early date with their insignia and badges of office. Lady Watson has presented to the Order the freehold of her house in Jerusalem. Her wish is that it shall be used after her decease, first and foremost as a Dispensary for the benefit of eye-sufferers and others who dwell on the East side of or in the City itself. Reference was made to this endowment in last year's Report, and it only remains now to add that the house has been duly registered in the Land Registry of Jerusalem as the property of the Order of St. John, and that a tablet, made of Jerusalem tiles, is to be erected in the courtyard of the house, setting forth that" Watson House" is dedicated by his widow to the Order in memory of Colonel Sir Charles Watson, K.C.M.G., C.B., etc., Chairman of the Hospital 1912-1916. The Chancellor paid a visit to the Hospital in the Spring and was good enough to take out an eye-model and a human skull, both of which were badly needed by the Staff for instructional purposes. : He was able to discuss with the Warden many points of interest with regard to future developments.

REPORT OF TIlE CI-IAPTER-GENERAL.

The Giant Electro-l\1agnet has been duly installed, and has already proved its efficiency in conjunction with the we~t~' Localiser. As foreshadow d in the last Report, the ClImc Scheme has bcen dra ticallv curtailed. The Committ e did not feel ju. tified in asking the Order to go on increasing the pay of the Jurses at the Government rate and recommended that the six months' notice to terminate the Agreement be brought into operation. The new arran~ ment provic~es that the Government pay the Nurses and the Order tram and supern e them and inspect the Centres as before. The response to the Grand Prior's Appeal issued on the morrow of the earthquake has resulted in sufficient funds being forthcoming to warrant the Committee taking steps to instruct 1\1r. Austen t. B. Harrison, the Government Architect in Palestine, to prepare plans .for the erection of an Annexe opposite the Hospital for the accommodatIon of patients suffering from Acute Conjullctivitis . .It ~ uggested that this Annexe take the form of a khan or caravanseraI, WIth a Hat attached for the Dispen er who would act as a sort of sup~r\'isor. It is estin:at cl that such a khan would provide accommodatIOn for at lea't 19hty patients. The probable cost of this building would be in the neighbourhood of f6,OOO, which would include the purchase of the neces~ary xtra ground beyond the original gift of the Patriarch. T.h. on~mitt~e i" thankful to find itself within mea m-able distance of reahzmg tIll ~ project. £1,500 have alread~r been spent on making good dam.ag done by the earthquake and in re-modelling the old ub-\Yard n'. fbt to accommodate the :JIatron and the two British isters. Another £l,;")CJO hayc been allocated to further interior imprO\'emcllts in the Ho pituIta inch:d baths and lavatories for Out-Patients, tiling of wards, reconstructIOn of drainage system, and other minor adjustments. There still remain to be dealt with the building of a housc for the SubWarden and the provision of paying patients' wards. It is h~p d that the Committee may be in a position to mak a beginning WIth ~he e before the next Report is published, if sufficient funds are forthcommg. The Committee records with deep gratitude the permanent cndo\\'ment of two beds and a cot, the latter by the Counte s of carbrough in memory of her son. Of the two beds, one was endowcd by Lord \iV:lvertree, who visited the Hospital and was so impressed by all he saw that he signified his wish to the \Varden on the spot, and the other by ~lrs. l\Ian Stuart, a Dame of Grace and ~ne of the pi}grims of 1926, in memory of her late husband, a Kmght of Jutslce of the Order. A bed has also been endowed for ten years by a former patient, :Jlr. Shafeek J abur, a Palestinian. Expenditure for the financial year ending 30th September shows. a heavy increase of nearly £500 over that of the prevIOUS year. It IS, however, mainly accounted for by three items-Salaries £277, Hire of Tents owing to the earthquake £83, and Travelling Expenses (owing to changes on the Staff) £121 . Lady Watson, Han . Treasurer in J erusalem, remitted £250 5s. Gd., her highest total so far, but we may feel sure that her untiring zeal will not allow this sum to remain the peak. The Committee thanks the Pilgrims whose gift of £20 enabled the \Varden to instal a much-needed hospital sink in the dressing-room

Hendley for presenti~g four vo~umes of her late husband's magnmn opus on the Arts of IndIa to be dIsposed of for the benefit of the Hospital; the Library of. the Red Cross and the Order of St. John for two bales of ?ooks; Captam L. B. Bo?ty, O.B.E., for ~any scientific and ophthalmIC books; NIr. H. \y. Fm~ham for a gIft .of (( records)) for the isters' gramophone; l\lIss WhIteman, whose gIft of £7 mentioned in last year's H.eport has provided an Anresthebc Table and Stool and last, but not least, ?\1r. J. H. Stevenson for his untiring help as Honorary Secretary for cotland. . . The Linen Guild has done excellent work durmg the year under reVIew and the Committee is duly grateful for the relief in the matter of the supply of linen for which the Guild has become responsible. Found:d in February, it had by the end of October expended no less than £1;)0 on stores for the Hospital. The Committee cannot close this Report without expressing it~ thanks for the continued and most valuable interest displayed at all times in the work of the Hospital by their Excellencies the Lord and Lady Plumer. The Ho pital is indeed fortunate in having such devoted friends who lose no opportunity of furthering its interests. To the \Varden, Mrs. Strathearn, Lady \Vatson, and all the Staff of the Hospital, the Committee offers its sincere sympathy in their severe trial, and unstinted thanks for their devotion to duty in so nerve-racking a cnSlS. It is a source of gratification to think that, owing to the energy and self-sacrifice of the Staff, the work of the Hospital was so little in terfered wi th. The Committee expre ses the hope that, as a result of the earthquake, and following the Appeal of the Grand Prior, interest in its work may be quickened and Members of the Order brought to realize all that the Order stands for, with its great traditions, in the Land that witnessed its birth more than eight centuries ago. PRIORY FOR \\'ALE . Each year since the inception of the Priory it ha been possible to record a substantial incr a c in the number of Ambulance efficiency awards issued, and the figures for 1927, the tenth year in the history of the Priory, constitute a further record. During the year 10,706 students attended a course of instruction in Fir t Aid and 894 a course in Home ursing. The total awards issued number 11,099, made up as follows:First Aid Certificates .

I t is most satisfactory to note the rapid developm~nt of the Cadet movement in Wales. The value of the movement, whIch has !low been in operation for five years, as a rec~uiting g~o?nd for th~ semor ran~s, is proved beyond doubt, and public au~h?nbes. are readily advocatmg its development in the interest of good clbzenshlp. . With regard to public duty, post-war apathy has completel:y .dlsappeared. Officers and rank and :file ar~ main taining t~e bes.t tradi b?ns of the Order with enthusiasm and devotIOn. and the Bngade IS renden!lg organized public duty daily. Amb~lance and Nursing membersvoluntanly attend places of public entertamments, sports, shows, etc. At the seaside resorts First Aid Tents have been erected and ar~ open th!,o.ughout the summer months for the treatment of cases of accIdent or m]ury. One of these holidav tents treated 1,904 cases during the summer of 1927. The scheme initi~ted by the Brigade for co-operation with ~he lifebo~t crews in rendering aid to the shipwrecked ha~ been .well receIved an.d 111 every coastal town where lif~boats are sta~IOned m Wales, a tramed unit is available for such serVlce when reqUlred. . Welsh members have responded readily to the .new call upon t~elr voluntary services made by the Road Sc~eme WhICh has b~en deVIsed to deal with the increasing possibility of accIdents. For sOI?e tIme past the Units of the Brigade in a number of towns have assIsted ~he local authorities in providing Road Ambulance ~oxes, an~ specIal Road Cabinets were designed and supplied by the Pnory for thl~ purpose. 1.'he object of the new scheme is to link up, wit~ the co-o~eratIO.n of motonng organizations, the existing ambulance statIons by FIrst AId posts, con. . . sisting of personnel, equipment, and patrols. One other branch deserving of special mentIOn IS the voluntary SIck nursing undertaken by the nursing sisters; not only do they atte~d t,he voluntary hospitals in many centres, but where th.ere are no dIst~ICt nurses, very big demands are made upon the serVIces of the nursmg members.

C01'ltid.

It is pleasing to report that increasing numbers of Brigade units are acquiring permanent Ambulance Halls which range from a first-class brick building to a wooden hut and the enterprising officers, members, and friends are to be congratulated on the success which has awarded their efforts. Thanks are due to the many donors of trophies and prizes for ambulance competition in the various centres. Cups, shields, and trophies to the value of £1,724 lis. are vested in the Priory Trustees. During the past year cups were presented by the Right Hon. Sir Alfred Mond, p.e., M.P., and by ir Rhys Williams, Bt., D.S.O., and a shield by Lady Howard Stepney. Again last year the Priory was requested to organize the Ambulance contests at the Royal National Eisteddfod of Wales, Holyhead, and the Royal Welsh Agricultural how. The Commissioner for Wales was appointed Honorary Director of Ambulance and the tests were prepared by Dr. S. Glanville Morris, Mardy. The Lady Lewis)) and "Lady Bute)) cups, the national ambulance trophies p~esented by the Priory for open competition, were won by the Kenfig HIll St. John team and the Liverpool St. John Nursing team. The incl~sion of a Cadet contest in the ambulance section of the Royal ~elsh ~gncultural how at Swansea in August proved a successful 111novatIon. !he annual ~elsh R~ilway Ambulance competition organized by the Pnory was held 111 Cardiff on 5th April, and the" Harry Webb)) cup was won by the Alex~ndra Dock, N.e~port (Great \iVestern Railway) team. Th~ Wels? Bngade competItIons took place on the 30th April, at CardIff. 1.'hlS event was the culmination of preliminary tests which had be~n held 111 all c~~tres !o select teams to represent the Priory in the Final Bng~de competItIOns 111 London. This honour was achieved by the CardIff Great Western and Cardiff Emergency Nursing Teams. Although not successful in bringing to Wales the "Dewar" Shield, the Cardiff Great Western team secured second place and became the first winners ' of the new Trimble)) shield. During the year 1927 44 Service .JIedals ,,'ere awarded to members who completed fifteen years' efficient Brigade service and 11 ervice ~1edal Bars were awarded for additional periods of five years' service. The Royal Naval Auxiliary S.ick B~rth Reserve has its full complement ?f "Velsh. r:-1embers and there IS an 111creasing waiting list.

The ambulance men and nurses, who were immediately on the scene and rendered excellent service, proved the great value of the Brigade in time of grave emergency. A list of the awards made will be found on pages 15 and 16. These awards were presented by Lord Buckland of Bwlch at a public meeting organized by The Ebbw Vale Steel, Iron and Coal Company, Limited at Ebbw Vale, on the 27th January, 1928, when the speCIal visit of the Secretary-General of the Order, Major-General Sir Percival Wilkinson, K.C.M.G., C.B., made the occasion one of outstanding interest.

The following is extracted from the last published report of the j oint Council of the Order and the British Red Cross Society : The number of cases helped by the Auxiliary Hospitals for Officers' Department now totals 17,688, the majority being ex-Officers suffering from tuberculosis. The Officers' Hospital at Brighton continues to do good work, 107 ex-Officer patients receiving in-treat.ment during the year.

'T COUNCIL.

Contd.

Grants for bedside occupational work were given to 11 Hospitals, 6 being Ministry of Pensions institutions and five other similar institutions. The value of the grants to the patients is undoubted. Their mental outlook improves and they s~ow keenness and i~terest in the a~ticles they m~ke. The enthusiasm and mterest of the men m the productIon of the vanous handicrafts is very gratifying. The Christmas gifts provided for ex- ervice Pensioner Patients in Hospital on Christmas Day, 1926, numbered 6,064, at a total cost of £1,494. Medical uperintendents and patients show great appreciation of the parcels which bring some Christmas cheer to those men who cannot spend Christmas at home. . . " . Approximately 19,000 ex- erVlce penSIOner patIents m hospItal have been provided with motor drives or conveyed to entertainments and theatres by the Drives and Entertainments Fund. The work continues under the able and enthusiastic administration of the Honorary Organizer, Mr. F. . Phillips, whose work is much appreciated . The Emergency Help cheme is still providing a large measure of relief, which is not forthcoming from any other charitable ource, to many thousands of deserving cases of sick and disabled ex-Service men and their dependents. The total number of new cases assisted or otherwise dealt with during 1926 was almost 30,000. The total grants approved for this work from the commencement to the 31 t March, 1927, amount to £739,900, and the present average monthly expenditure on grants to cases is about £7,500. Although actually 2 1-10 more cases were dealt with than during 1925, the total expenditure shows a further reduction. The Committee anticipate that the need for relief will continue to gradually diminish, in proportion to the falling off in the claims of men and widows forpension,etc. The voluntaryrefund of advances by cases assisted is still a very satisfactory feature of this work. The amount refunded during 1926 was £15,758, and the total received from the commencement to the 31st March. 1927, exceeds £90,000. O\ving to the lapse of time since the Armi hce, all applications for as i tance require the most careful investigation. The generous \Toluntary help given by workers all over the country in connexion with this and other work, makes it possible for the administrative expenditure to be kept at a satisfactory figure. This Department al 0 deals with applications from heavily disabled pensioners for mot?r attachm~nts to the tricycles supplied to them by the Ministry of P.enslOns. Dunng the year 77 Motor Attachments were provided, makmg a total of 232 supplied to date. The men assisted benefit both m~ntally and physically, and many of them use their motors to travel dally to and from their work, and are thus saved undue fatigue. Dur~~g the past year the Games and Comforts Fund made 374 grants of addlh.o~al comforts and articles of recreation in response to applications from ~mlstry .of Pensions Hospitals and other institutions treating ex-SerVIce pen lOner patients, benefiting approximately 7,500 patients. These grants are of great value to the patients in improving their general stan~ard of health, and are always eagerly welcomed by the men. Thls year the ambulances forming the Home Ambulance Service have passed the figure of over half-a-million cases carried since the service was es~ab1ished ei~ht years ago. The stations now numbe.r 376, including 50 affilIated. Du~mg the year these vehicles carried nearly 110,000 cases The Department IS actively co-operating with the Order and the Society

Report of the Comn1.ittee for

1 927 . THE Hospitaller and the Commit~ee of the Ophthalmi~ Hospit~l have t~e honour to submit their Thirty-sIxth Report for the mformatlOn of HI Royal Highne s the Grand Prior, the Chapter-General, and its subscribers. The earthquake which visited Jerusalem and the Holy Land on 11th July evere]y damaged the Hospital and the .\tYarden's Lodge, though luckily no injury was done to any. of the patIents or the staff. The \Varden with commendable promptItude hIred tents from the Government and had them pitched facing the Hospital on the otber side of the main road, where the Out-patient work was carried on with hardly a break till the debris could be cleared avvay and the damage made good. The tent were not struck till the end of October. To add to his trouble the 'Varden was very short-handed at the time, a both the Registrar and the Hou e urgeon had left at the end of June. The Registrar had only arrived at the beginning of June, a stranger to the work and ignorant of the language, and there was no third urgeon. Luckily, help was forthcoming from Mr. tuart, LB., who voluntarily attended three mornings a week and gave mo. t valuable ervice, for which the Committee tends her the mo t sincere thanks. By a coincidence, the Committee was sitting on the afternoon of the earthquake, but the cable from the \Varden did not reach the Gate till next day, when instructions were promptly cabled back to make good all damage at once. The Grand Prior, when the fact were known, i ued an appeal early in August to all l\lemb r of the Order and their friend to help rai e funds to repair the damage and at the same time to enable the Order to carry out other much needed work of development and construction in connexion with the Hospital, especially the provision of an Annexe for Acute Conjunctivitis cases, the erection of paying patient ward , the provision of a house for the ub-Warden, and the installation of up-to-date baths and lavatories, together with the necessary adjustment of the drainage system. It would naturally be thought that a calamity such as the earthquake would seriously affect our number and show a marked hrinkage compared with the previous year, but that is not the case. In-Patient have decreased from 1,490 to 1,391, but this decline is not wholly due to ~he earthquake, but to the fact that more operations are being undertaken m the ~ut.-Patients' Department and more intra-ocular cases are being dealt wIth m our beels, and these cases make a longer stay. In September, October, and November the number of In-Patients was practically the same as last year. . The new Out-Patients, so far from showing a falling-off, have sprung from 18,127 to 20,051. The earthquake had no deterrent effects on them

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL

at all. In Total Consultations there is a very marked decrease. In 1926 they were 87,883; this year they had fallen to 85,564. Operations numbered 4,234: in 192(), but by inadvertence and during the absence of the Warden in England many operation were registered as uch which in the ordinary cour e would not have appeared at all. Therefore, the figure of 3,651 for 1927 is, under the circumstances, quite atisfactory. There have been many changes in the taff during the year under review, and this fact mu t be ,,\ eighed in looking at tatistics for comparative purposes. The R egistrar, 1r. \V. E. Thomp on, left at the end of June to take up an appointment with the Anglo-Persian Oil ompany in Iraq. He i a great loss to the staff. Hi long official acquaintance with J eru. alem as a member of the Department of Health before h joined our taff, and his con equent command of the languag ,proved of gr at. value while he worked for the Order. He wa a very keen urgeon, and hi delight \vas great when the X-Ray equipment was in taIled and 11 could l11ak good use of his knowledge in that branch of hi dutie. Th 0l11mitt.ce wi. hes him all prosperity in hi new work. At the same time the \Varden 10 t the rvices of : \1r. , 11 11 ', who had been connected with the Hospital, with int ryals, ov -r a long period. His home is in J erusalem, but he ha calls which take him away to Australia from time to time, and he felt that he did not wi h to be tieel for another year. He ha been a great help to the \Varden, pecially as he could talk to the patients in their own tongu. Th 0l11mitt e bid him God-speed wherever his duty call him. To fill the post of Registrar, the ommittee has appointed a lady . ~Iis s ~Iuriel Hamilton, ~I.B., Ch .B . (Gla gow). This ian \V d partur , but the Committee is confident that experience \\'ill justify the appointment. The office of ub-\Varden, \,vhich has b en vacant ince Dr. Eyr 1 It in 1925, has been conferred on Colonel H. in worth, :JI.B. , F.R . . . , late I.l\I.S., who took up his duties in August. He has had considerable experience of ophthalmic work during thirty years in India, and from 1909-1923, except for a period of military duty during the \Var, wa Professor of Ophthalmic Surgery at the l\1edical College, Lahore, wh re he had entire charge of the eye work, both in ollege and Ho pital. He also took a special course of instruction in X-Ray work at Milbank in 1907. Miss Nellie Ingham has been appointed Matron and she took up her post at the end of eptember. Fortunately, she speaks the language fluently, having worked in Palestine for four years before the War, and she knows the country well. She has a very good War record, ending as Assistant Matron in General Hospitals 41 and G2 at alonika. ,ince the \Var she has been Matron of the Government Hospitals at Haifa and Jerusalem. Sister K eith left for home at the conclusion of her three years' contract, and the Committee is glad to hear he has been appointed to a r ponsible post in this country. To take her place. Sister Catherine Ellis was sent out in November. Lady Watson has been awarded by Chapter-General the Medal for Conspicuous Service to the Order in connexion with her valuable work

REPORT

for the Hospital over a period of many Yf'ars. The Committee heartily congratulates her.. . " The High Comml SlOner, H.E. FIeld-Marshal the Lord Plu~er, has together WIth any cons ented to invest the new M mbers of our Staff, . . d" other Members of the Order in .P~le~tin.e aWaItmg a mISSIOn or promotion, at an early date with theIr InSIgma and badges of office. A small strip of land on the extreme Northern boundary of the Hospital grounds has been sl~ rrend ered. to the ~unicipality for road widening purposes. Many aCCId nts havmg occuned at the spot, one fatal, the Committee gladly r commended Chapter-Genera~ to meet the ~1unicipal Authorities when they sought our co-opera~]~n .. On th e principle that one good turn dese~ves another, the 1Ul1lCIpahty have tarred the road out ide the HOSplt8 l and so, at last: the awful d,":st nuisance has been abatec1, and the taff cannot suffiCIently express Its gratitude. . , Ladv \Vat on ha pr ent d to t.he Order the freehold of her house In ] erusalem. Her wi h is that it shall be u ed after her decea e, first and foremo t a 8 Di pen aTY for the b nefit of eye-sufferers and others who dwell on the Ea t id of or in the City itself. Reference was made to this endowment. in la t y ar' R port, and it only ren:ains now to add that the house ha been cluly r gi ter d in the Land RegIstry of J erusalem a the property of the Orrl r of .' t. ] ohn, and that a tablet, made. of ] erusalem tile., i to be rect d 111 .t.he courty~rd ?f the house, settlI~g forth that " \\'at on Hou e " is dedIcated by hI WIdow to the Order 111 memory of Colonel ir Charle. \Yatson, IC C.-:\I. G., C.B., etc., Chairman of the Ho pital H112- 191G. . The Chancellor paid a vi~it. to the Ho pital in the pnng and was good enough to take out an eye-model and a human skuU, both of which were hadly need d by t.he tafi for in tructional purpo es. He was able to cliscu s with the \Vard n many points of interest with r gard to future developments. The Giant Electro-:JIagnet. ha been duly installed and has already proved it efficiency in conjunction with the weets' Localiser. On t. John's Day, H oly ommunion \va celebrated by the Anglican Bi hop in ] eru alem, ex-officio a Chap]ain and ub-Pre]ate of the Order, in th old Cru aders' Church of Mar H anna in the l\1uristan (by special penni _ion of the Patriarch). The ervice \,,'as \vell-attended by :Members of the Order and their fri nds. As fore hadowecl in the last R eport, the Clinic cheme has been clra tically curtailed. The Committee did not fee] justified in asking the Order to go on increa ing the pay of the Turse at the Government Tate and recommended that the six month' notice to terminate the Agreement be brought into operation. The new arrangement pr~)Vi~e that the Government pay the ur es and tbe Order train and superVIse them and inspect the Centres as before. This means that in future aJl the Order is called on financially to do is to lodge and feed the Nurses while in the Hospital and to pay the travel1ing expense of the urgeons when on an inspection tour. A letter appealing for help reached the Warden from Transjordania, Colonel Cox, Chief British R epr sentative, asking if the Order could train and maintain two Nurse East of the Jordan . The Committee suggested that the two urses might be trained in the Hospital but

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL

regretted that it could not see its way to help further, at any rate, at present. No reply has been received to this uggestion. The plot of ground in the Muristan acquired by the Order in 1926 bas been cleared of rubbi h down to the level of the treet, and walled in where necessary. The question of further excavation is still unsettled, but local archceological authoritie , including Pere Vincent of the Ecole Biblique et Archceologique, are in favour of steps bing tak n to prove' the Crusaders' foundations and to explore the trend of the Tyropoean Valley, which is presumed to be underneath the site. The response to the Grand Prior's Appeal i ued on the morrow 0 ( the earthquake has resulted in sufficient funds being forthcoming to warrant the Committee taking step to in truct 1\1r. ~\u t n t . B. Harrison, the Government Architect in Pale tine, to pr par plan for the erection of an Annexe oppo ite th Ho pital for the accommodation of patients suffering from Acute Conjunctivitis. It i ugg t cl that this Annexe take the form of a khan or caravanserai , with a nat attached for the Dispenser who would act a a ort of upervi ~ or. It i. e tima!. cl that such a khan \vould provide accommodation for at lea t eight)patients. The probable cost of this building would be in the n ighbourhood of £6,000, which would include the purcha e of th necessary "tra ground beyond the original gift of the Patriarch. The Committee is thankful to find itself within m a urablc eli -(anCt: of realizing this project which has been referred to in e\'cry H. port -incL' 1921. £1,500 have already been spent on making good damage done by thl earthquake and in re-modelling the old ub-\Varclen' nat to aCC0111modate the Matron and the two Briti h ister ,thu allowing th H.egi tra1 to move into the former Sisters' quarter. Another £1,500 haye b en allocated to further interior improvements in the Ho ' pital to includl> baths and lavatories for Out-Patient, tiling of 'w ard ) recon truction of drainage system, and other minor adjustments. There still remain to be dealt with the building of a hou for the ub\Varden and the provision of paying patients' ward. It is hoped that the Committee may be in a position to make a beginning with the ' before the next Report is published, if sufficient funds are forthcoming. Your Committee records with deep gratitude the perman nt endowment of two beds and a cot, the latter by the Countess of carbrough in memory of her son. Of the two beds, one was endO\ved by Lord Wavertree, who visited the Hospital and was so impressed by all he saw that he signified his wish to the Warden on the spot, and the other by Mrs. Man Stuart, a Dame of Grace and one of the pilgrim of 1926, in memory of her late husband, a Knight of Jutsice of the Order. Tablets to commemorate these endowments will in due course be set. up in the wards. A bed has also been endowed for ten years by a former patient, Mr. Shafeek Jabur, a Palestinian, who has guaranteed £30 per annum for the period named. The olive harvest was an improvement on that of 1926. There were gathered 1,243 lb. of olives, which were pressed to produce 51! rotls of oil of the value of £10 6s. It may be mentioned here that Palestine

has now a currency of its own, the £E (P?und Egyptian) givir:g place to the £P (pound Palestinian). which is eq~IValent to the £ Sterlmg. Expenditure for the finanCIal year endIng 30th September shows. a heavy increase of nearly £500 over that.of the prev~ous year. ! tIS, however, mainly accounted for by three Items---:-Salanes £277, H.lre of Tents owing to the earthquake £81, and TravellIng Expenses (OWIng to changes on the taff) £ 1 2 1 . . . r:: Lady Watson, Hon.

The Committee thanks the Pilgrim whose gift of £20 enabled the \Varden to in tal a much-needed hospital sink in the dressing-room of the theatre; l\Ir. Hendley for presenting four volumes of her late husband's 1IlagJlum OPllS on the Arts of India to be disposed of for the benefit of the Hospital; the Library of the R d Cross and the Order of . t: Jo~n for two hale of ~)ook ; Captain L,' B.

The Linen Cuiid has clone exc llent work during the yea-r under revie'v" and the Committee i duly grateful for the relief in the matter of the supply of linen for which the :Tuild ha become re_pon ible. Founded in February_ it had by the end of October expended no Ie s than £150 on tore for the HospitaL The Report of the Guild is attached. The Commiltee cannot clo e thi H. port without expre sing its thanks for the continued and most valuable interest di played at all times in the work of tIle Hospi tal by their Exc llencies the Lord and Lady Plumer. The Hospital i indeed fortunate in having uch devoted friend who lose no opportunity of furthering it interest. . The earthquak dealt roughly with the " ' arden' Lodge. Both tb p \Yarden and ~Ir . ,trathearn were driven out of hou e and home fm ome days, and Lady \YaLon al 0 had an anxious time as \ Vat on House was much knocked about. To the \Vard n, :J1r. trath arn, Lady \\'atson, and all the taff of the Hospital. the Committee offers its sincere sympathy in their severe trial, and unstinted thank for their elevotion to duty in so nerve-racking a crisis. It is a ource of gratification to think that, owing to the energy ~nd seH-sacrifice of the tafi, the work of the Hospital was so little Interfered with. The Committee expresse the hope that, as a result of the earthquake, an? following the Appeal of the Grand Prior, interest in its work may be q11lckened and Members of the Order brought to realize all that the Order . tands for, with its great traditions, in the Land that witnessed its birth more than eight centuries ago. 11

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL

The Warden's Report for 1927. The number of new patients seen during the year 1927 was 20,051 ; and the. total con ultations 85,564. The number of patients admitted to HosI?ltal was 1 ,~9 1; an~ ~he number of operation performed 3,651. ClassIfied ac~or.ding to religIOn, of the new ca es 12,998 were Moslems; 3,574 were ChnstIans; and 3,479 were Jews. Of the total con ultation 54,859 were Moslems; 14,307 were Chri tian ; and 16,398 v,'ere J ew. The number of new patients i the largest yet recorded, but th other figur~s show. a sligh~ decrea e. The probability of this decrea e has been mentIOne~ I~ pre:'IOl:s report. On account of the activity of the ophthalmIc c~m~s ~n different parts of the country, a large and increa ing number.o.f tnchIasIs ca es are dealt \;."ith in their own di tricts. Further, these climcs sort out and send on to us the intra-ocular ca es. J n thi wav th~ in-patient department of the Ho pital deals with an increa ing number of mtra-ocular cases, and as these operation, all tl-J.ings con iclerec1, take longer. to perform an~ the pa~ients have to he retained longer in ho pital, there IS a corresponding fall m the number of operations perform d anc1 the number admItted to hospitctl. And this is a it should be if the countr\' is to benefit to the maximum extent from the killeel staff anc1 the wellequipped hospital of the Order. The year befor the inau(Turation of th.e ~li~ic scheme 66 per ceni;. of our operation were for t11e relief of tnchIa~Is. In 19~7 this had fallen to 33 per cent. and the intra-ocular operatIons had nsen proportionately. Of the 20,051"nev.v ca;,e~, 1,456 were blind in on eye (7 '2 per crnt.) ; ~n~ ~77 were blind m both (2'3 per cent.). H ence th number 01 mdIvIduals .who w~re blind in one or bot~ eves wa 1 ,n~n (n' G p r cent.) . As m prevIOUS reports, the term blinn include not only the totally but al~o. the economically blind; thi latter category incluc1es those wh?~e VISIOn does not come up to the standard of vi ion r ckonec1 as the abilitr to count fingers at a distance of one metre. In the report of the HospItal for the year 1919 the percentage of blindne s in one or both eyes was 23 per cent. This extr mely high incid nce then wa partly accounted for br the fact that ~he Hospital had been recently re-opened. The followmg table, showmg the incidence or blindne ' amongst the out-patients since 1919, is of interest :tr

This table shows an almost uninterrupted improvement; rapid at first, owing to the exceptional circumstances at the close of the war. but tending to slow down during the last four or five years. It is noteworthv that the statistical records of the Egyptian Ophthalmic Hospitals are almost equivalent. For example in 1919, blindness in one eye 10'2 per cent.; both eyes 5'1 per cent.: one and both 15'3 per cent. Whilst in 1924 (the latest report publi heel) the corresponding per centages are 8 per cent., 2'8 per cent., and 10'8 per cent. Of course, as might be expected, the incidence of eye disease in Egypt and Palestine is comparable. The following table shows the cause of blindness in the 1,933 eyes :A. Congenital B. Acquired : 1. onjuncti"\"itis resulting in : (a) Total corneal opacity (b) Shrunken globe (c) Secondary glaucoma (d) Other conditions . 2. Fundal conditions (various) 3.

Over 60 P r cent. of this "blindness" can be traced, directly or inmrectly, to acute conjunctivitis. This disease, although endemi'c or always present in the country, assumes epidemic form shortly after the onset of the hot weather and rages 'w ith ever-increasing virulence until the onset of the rains in November. Th e epidemic of 1927 was even more severe than that of 1926 (which was also a bad year). The acute cases numbered 4,291 and formed 21'4 per cent. of the new ca es. During the early ~onths of the year the case. averaged about 60 per month ; in May they mcreased to 101 ; June 273; July 487; August 1,115; September 906; October 6:39; November 408; December 194. The acute conjunctivitis was complicated with corneal ulceration in 752 cases. Of t~ese 280 were perforating ulcers: a dreadful reinforcement to the kmf?dom of the blind, for the majority of these ulcers do not get to us untIl ~he damage is irreparable. Owmg to the occurrence of an earthquake early in July, we had to v~cate part of our damaged Out-Patient Department. Tents were pItched on the vacant land on the opposite side of the road. One large marquee was used as a waiting room and shelter. Two smaller tents were also used, one as a treatment room and the other a record office. Most of the cases of acute ophthalmia received attention at this annexe, and we were greatly helped in our work here by the voluntary assistance of Mr~. G:eorge St~art, M.B. Dr. tuart worked in this emergency most consc.IentIously, WIth the adverse conditions of the heat of the tents and ~he flies, added to the usual pandemonium of yelling infants. We are much mdebted to her. The experience we gained here has proven of value in

the planning of the building soon to be erected on this site for the accommodation and treatment of the most needy of the e patients. The incidence of trachoma was 6 per cent. This i greater than la t year, but, as was mentioned in the r port for 1926, the figure for that year was low (78 per cent .) owing to the large number of recently arrived and non-infected J ews who attended for various rea ons but chi 11y to know if they were free from trachoma. certificate of freedom from this di ease is essential for intending emigrant to the Americas. There i till little more to be said about trachoma that has not been aiel . But the result of the work of oguchi in merica eems hopeful. H him elf makes no claim to the rliscovery of a specific trachoma. organi m. H e states that he has discoyered a certain organi m and has produced con. elitions ,,;,hich have the appearance of trachoma, and his investigation ' are still proceeding. ,Meanwhile with all workers in trachoma countri ' we await in hope. For although trachoma i not an important au e of actual blindne. in thi country, it i r pon ible for an enormous amoun t of suffering and di ability. Our Out-patient D epartm nt i.:; crammed with its victims and mo t of our operative work i elue to thi eli eas' or ib sequelae. Out of the year's total of 3,631 op rations, no f wer than 2,(>27 were occasioned by it. 682 operations were performed for the rclief of trachoma, including 367 combined tar~ectomy operation. ; and 1 ,~)1,-) ca es were operated upon for the relief of trichia i , the re ult of trachoma. The number of intra-ocular operations wa 112. f the c 22:i \\. I'l' performed on the len for cataract. 92- patients \\'ere tested for gla _e and G3 ~1 pre cription. \\' 'fC given. The remainder showed in ufficient vi ual improvement to warrant thi...:" owing to the presence of irregular a tigma tism or otherwise. In the "X" Ray department, forty photograph w'r tak 'n for diagnostic purposes. In ix individual the presence of a Ioreign body within the eye was demonstrated. Later, the preci e position of thcs' was determined by the aid of the" \\' cts" apparatu. Thr c of the ' e foreign bodies proved to be ferrous. Two were ucce SIllIly xtracted b,' the aid of the large Mellinger electro-magnet. The third \\'a localiz 'cl ' ufficiently far forward to be seized and drawn out directly by fore ps. " X " Ray treatment was carried out on nine patients. II wcrc suffering from glandular cancer of the skin of the eyelid. In some cases the exposure ' were preceded by surgical intervention. :J,Iarked improvement wa~ hown in all cases. The clinic scheme has continued to operate as outlined in previou. reports, but the arrangement whereby the Order paid and maintained the ophthalmic nurses has been discontinued. The e nur e have now been taken over by the H ealth Department. But apart from this financial rearrangement there has been no alteration of the general working. Two Government medical officers attended the initial ophthalmic course and two officers returned for a refresher cour e. Two nurses complet d their ophthalmic training during the year, and a third was recruited, trained, and posted for relieving and holiday duty. Some six school nurses received a special one month course (non-resident). Owing to the di turbance incidental to staff changes in the Hospital the clinics were only vi ited on two occasions during the year. The inadequacy of this is admitted. As this branch of our work is dealt witb by the Director of H ealth in his annual report, nothing further need be mentioned here beyond

the stat ement that at these Government eye clinics during the past year nearly 14,000 new patients were see?, more than 100,000 consultations were given, and over 2,500 operatIOns I:erfo~med. . To return to the consideration of the HospItal, It must be admItted that the year has been a disturbed one. As has been mentioned, t~ere was an earthquake, and these things u.ns~ttle mor~ th~n st.one and llI?e. Then the carrying out of extensive repaIrs m a hospItal m bemg was trymg to all the taft. The endeavour to keep the place reasonably clean wa a isyphean task. Further, there were several changes in the B~iti~h members. Dr. W. E. Thompson, the R gistrar, left to take up a sp~cIahst appointment with a company operating in the Middle East. In him the Hospital lost an xtraordinary worker and a fine surgeon, who ~a at all times a loyal and helpful colleague. Dr. J. E. helley, the thIrd surgeon, left about the same time. From his long a sociation with the Hospital, officially and unofficially, he seemed to have ~ecom~ a part of the place. In any event, a he i re id nt here, Palestme wIll.not lose his expert and beneficent ervices. To replace them, Colonel H. Amsw?rth and Miss A. ::'II. Hamilton , :J1.B. , have joined our stafi. The former bnng hom India a long and varied exp rience of ophthalmology . On the nur ing ide ther have al 0 b en changes. Miss Ingham took over duty a :Jlatron toward the end of the year. Her unique acquaintance of life and work in Pale tine hould prove of much value in her new post. ,' i ter K it11 left on the expiration of h r contract, and wa ucceeded bv . ister Ellis. But Lady \\'at on is always with us; and although her work is there , her influen e extend far beyond the confine of the linen room. Above all. we are mo t mindful of the manner in which everything is done. ( igned) J. C. TRATHEAR?\ , TVarden . J

THE Director of the mbulance Department and the Ambulance Committee of the Order have the honour to submit the following report of the work of the t. John Ambulance Association for the information of His Royal Highness The Grand Prior and the Chapter-General. There has been a slight increase during the year in the number of certificates issued through the medium of centres and detached classes at home. The activity of overseas centres also continue to be apparent and this report would be incomplete without a reference to the good work being done by the Central Councils in 'outh frica, 1 ew Zealand, and Australia. ince the recent establishment of the e ouncil much progress ha undoubtedly been made in tho e Dominions. There would al 0 seem to be a revival of interest in Bermuda, where a cla s has been held and others are in process of formation with a view to a Division of the t. John Ambulance Brigade Overea being e tabE hed. It is al 0 satisfactory to find that several detached cla e in n w areas oversea have been formed, namely in Iraq (consisting of As yrians), in Jamaica, and at Port Harcourt (Nigeria) . ~ egotiations with the "\\1ar Office for the examination of recruits of the H.oyal rmy ~Iedical Corps at the Training Establishment at Crookham Camp were carried through to a successful conclusion and a numb r of cla es have been held. 1\0 great head\\'ay has been made WIth the Air ~Iinistry but inquiries from a detachment of the Royal Air Force in Egypt have been received, Throuah the m dium of centres and detached classes at home and over ea the.\ ociation has issued during the year 11,169 medallions, 2G,19" label, and 3,296 pendants, in each ca e an increase on the figures for la t ,'ear and a total increa e of 3, 98 in re-examination awards.

The demand by centres of the Association and divisions of the Brigade for assistance from the funds generously placedat the DEPOTS. disposal of the Association by a well-wisher for the El..;tablishment of medical comforts depots in the provinces has not been great, only eight applications having been received during the year. There is, therefore, still available to those desirous of establishing depots in the provinces, a sum sufficient to assist with the formation of thirty-one further depots. The number of depots established in London as the result of grants. made by the Association from the funds placed at its disposal by the Sunday Cinema Fund Committee of the Order is seven . ME DICAL

COM FORTS

Owing to the difficulty of finding subjects of general interest to all centres overseas and to the limited number of members in London during June, a conference was not held. Those members, however. who w re in London on 23rd June were invited to St. John's Gate that day and were addressed by the Chancellor of the Order, who gave them an account of the more interesting activities of the Association and the Brigade at home, after which they were shown the film which :Jlr. J. Grossman had kindly prepared and presented to the Order. The Association was particularly fortunate this year in its visitors from Canada, among whom must be mentioned Sir Percy A. Sherwood, K.C.:JI.G., M.V.O., President of the Canadian Branch, and Lieut-Commander P. :JI. Filleul, R. . (Retd.), Assistant Secretary. Many matters. which have been engaging the attention of the Association were discussed with them and brought to a satisfactory conclusion. MEMBERS FROM OVERSE AS .

In ovember the Director of the Ambulance Department and the Chief ecretary attended a conference arranged by the ational afety First Association. The conference was most in tructive and howed that as a result of safety first instruction in schools the number of accidents to children had been reduced. The Director addressed the conference and suggested that Cadets of the St. John Ambulance Brigade might with advantage interest themselves in the subject. He also indicated the part played by the Order, and the Home Service Ambulance Committee of the Order and British Red Cross Society in dealing with accidents on the road. SAFETY FIRST CONFERENCE.

In several cases owners and proprietors of halls in different parts of the country have shown their sympathy with the work of the As ociation by placing their halls at If.

These mileages and the strain consequent on frequent stopping and starting when running within the Metropolis are a great tax on the life of the cars, and although at the time of report they are in fair running order, replacements are indicated at no distant date. The Morris car IS only used as an additional standby" and for certain special work, also for duty at some of the larger and more important race meetings.

There was a partial recovery in the number of orders received, but the adverse results of the industrial troubles of the previous year were still apparent. STORES

The Priory has used its influence in many directions to advance the science of First id, and the re pective authorities have gladly availed themselves of the voluntary services of members in giving courses of lectures to cla es organized at His l\Iaj esty's Prisons, Y.M.C.A. Clubs, Boy couts, Girl Guides, and the juvenile unemployed. Attention has been drawn to the growing necessity, in view of the increasing toll of the road: for t,ho e in charge of public service vehicles to have a knowledge of First id and all road users at least to carry simple first aid outfits, an d a number of char-a-banc proprietors have asked the Priory to arrange cour es of instruction for their drivers. Thanks are due to the many donors of trophies and prizes for ambulance competition in the yariou centre. ups, shields, and trophies to the yalue of £1,72-1 11 . are vested in the Priory Trustees.

Each year the importance and popularity of the Priory's Motor Ambulance Transport Service is increasing. Sixty-two Colliery Companies are subscribing to the ervice, and sixty-five V. orkmen's Lodges at the rat~ of one penny per man per week. Under this arrangement 16,050 men, their wives, and families, are entitled to the free use of a car at any time of the night or day in case of accident or sickness. JJ

Forty-one boys and 13 girls were transferred to the Brigade during the year, which forms 57 per cent. of those who reached 18 years of age during that period, showing the great value of the Cadet movement as recruiting agency to the Brigade of fully trained members.

The value of thi ervice to the country is inestimable. \Yithin a few years a transport system h as b een b'l Ul t up by the Officer and members, of which the Brigade can be truly proud. The saving of hundred of live i due to the efficient organization which e\.i ts for the prompt turn out of an ambulance accompanied by trained personnel. It memb r are ever ready to turn out day and night to answer a call and many have been the commendations of coroners on the service provided to mankind by the t. John Ambulance Brigade, With the exc ption of small charges for the removal of invalids, the service is entirely voluntary and the cost of maintenance is provided by the organization of social, dance, whist drives, and public appeals. At first our efforts to create a tran port service by the help of the Home Service Ambulance Committee' cars were cramped for want of support, but I am pleased to report that the public are realizing the benefit of such a service, and are now giving the help necessary to enable us to extend it.

The Shields, Cups, and Prizes were presented by the Lady Patricia Ramsay. . At these Competi~ions I. had the pleasure of announcing that a Trophy 111 the form of a ul1lque slIver and enamelled Challenge Shield had been presented to Colonel C. J. Trimble, the senior Commissioner in the Brigade, by his Dis~rict ?n the 70th anniversary of his birthday as a token of t~~ esteem 111 WhlC~ he was held, and as a memorial to his many y~ars. untInng and energetIc. work on behalf of the Br'gade in No.4 Dlstnct, and was offered by hIm to the Order for competition throughout the Brigade at home.

I had much pleasure in accepting the Trophy on behalf of the Order, and agreed that in future it shall be awarded to the Team gaining the highest marks in the Individual Practical ection of the Dewar" Challenge hi ld ompetition. The Trophy was won by the Cardiff and District Team. The Competition were highly satisfactory, and a complete success . Thanks again to the generosity of 1\1r. Joseph Grossman, the Team Te ts were filmed and realistically staged. The high standard of efficiency in First Aid displayed by both Ambulance and ur ing teams was most gratifying. This high standard is in the main due to the valuable services rendered to the Brigade by its surgeons. pon them falls the respon ibility for the instruction of ur ing, not only for competition members in First Aid and Home purpose, which form only a comparatively small part of their work, but for duties which the Brigade is constantly being called upon to perform in its many phere of activity. Only tho e who ar actively connected with the organization of First Aid ompetition can fully appreciate what we owe to our Brigade Surgeon, e pecially \\Then it is remembered that they are busy professional men and women and bave very little time at their disposal. On them falls the work of framing th scheme, the drawing up of the marking sheets, and the long train of judging the actual competitions. Their readiness to a i t th Fir t id r to acquire knowledge acts as an inspiration and encourag th 30,000 lay men and women to continue their studies and practice Fir t id and Home ursing, and to combine together for the public ad antage. To the Judg ommittee, Judges, my Organizing Staff, and all those who contribut d to the success of the ompetitions, not only in London, but also in the ounty and District Preliminaries, I tender my sincere thank. it

Thanks to the assi tance of the public and concessions granted by the Territorial Army Associations, Local Council. and the Police, unit of the Brigade have in the majority of ca e uitable Headquarter in which to meet together and carryon their Fir t id practice and drills. The main de ire of units i to pos ess permanent Headquarters and many cheme are now on foot to fulfil this desire. One local Council is making an appeal to the public for sufficient funds to build permanent headquarters for the local Divi ion. If all Councils would take up the housing que tion of their local Divi ion, the Officers and members would be able to greatly extend their present activities. AMB ULANCE

As regards the Royal Auxiliary Sick Berth Reserve, I can do no better than append extracts from the Inspecting 1edical Officer's report to the Director-General, NavallVIedical Service : RESERVES.

"The Reserve has been maintained at full strength throughout the year." " 947 Reservists underwent training during the year. This represents 74·3 per cent. of the total complement, as compared with 78 ·1 the average for the previous three years. Reservists from several Corps and Divisions

were not allowed to train owing to the prevalence of Small Pox in the district in which they lived. A hington, Houghton-Ie- pring . and other orth Durham di trici.s, involving about 100 men were aff cted during the whole year and about 50 men from other di tricts w re likewise temporarily affected. Making allowance for the re ervi ts who were so prevented from training, 4·2 per cent. trained out of tho e permitted to do so. It is considered that thi i a very sati factory percentage bearing :n mind the fact that many r ervist find great difficulty in obtaining permission to absent them elve from th ir employment, thus entailing the acrifice of th whole of their annual holiday." " During the year I in pected the re ervist belonging to twent ,- ight Corps and Divisions of the St. John Ambulance Brigad , at four centre, namely, Cre\ve, l\Ianchester, Oldham, and Bolton. The attendances were very ati factory 82'75 0 0 of the total trength being pre ent : only 4.5 0 0 were ab ent without being excu ed. t t A very high degree of efficiency was obtained in drill eli ci plin , and the various First Aid Test which were et: the reservi -t wer foun d to be particularly smart in appearanc , keen, and capabl ." The ~ iilitary Hospitals Reserve is making teady progre s. The 'ar closed with an improvement in recruiting and a more elefinite pro pect of a substantial increase in the ew Y ar.

Di k111 on, amI it gives me much plea ure to report that thi - Offic r haws an qual keen interest in the welfare and efficiency of the H.e 'erve to that of hi predecessor. Finance is at present re tricting the ffort of the Brigade to fully complete the organization, but notwithstanding this fact a great deal of work is being carried out on the highways of the country more e pecially at week-end and Bank Holiday periods. The work undertaken in the various counties will be seen on ref rence to the Commissioner s reports. I n . Cheshire, Cumberland, and Lancashire, a number of Fir t Aid Posts have been establi hed mostly of a temporary nature and can be moved so as to meet the exigencies of the circumstances. In many instances the First Aid Posts comprise Bell Tents fully equipped with F irst Aid apphances and patrols operate two or three miles in each direction . I n Kent, Surrey, and Sussex 26 First Aid Boxes have been erected and about 30 Mobile First Aid Posts established. Over 580 cases of accident received attention during the latter part of the year. The Farningham Division dealt with 250 casualties, whilst the Gravesend and N orthfieet Division had 211 cases. ROAD SERVICE

EPORT OF THE CHIEF COMMISSIO~ ER.

My thanks ar due to the Kent Automobile Club who voted £120 fo r the purchase of Roadside Boxes. In Bucks twenty-two First Aid Po ts have been established and over 300 accident on the roads dealt with, whilst First Aid Boxes are being erected at dangerous cro s roads. In ornwall Fir t Aid Posts are established in many places, and splendid work is being undertaken by the Divisional ambulances. Dorset ambulance received 33 calls to attend road accidents. Devon Units are carrying out Road Patrol duty, motors and cyclists being utilized on the long stretches of moorland roads. In ufiolk and N oriolle Divisions are all linked up with one another, and an efficient organization exi ts to meet accident calls. I{eports to hand refer in more than one instance to the steadying effect the Brigade Lniform ha on motorists when approaching places where First Aid Po t arc e tabli hed or where men happen to be stationed. I congratulate the Units who have taken up the Road Service Scheme on the spirit which prompted their members to take on this extra duty, and it i hoped that in due course every assistance, both financial and n kind, will b received from the various motorist organizations in this country .

This branch of Brigad work cloe an amount of helpful work to assist the poor ick, and in illnes a little practical help is worth a deal of pity. \\'her \' r the e depoL are established the popularity of the local Dl\'i ion i greatly increa ed. The finances of units generally are in a healthy condition. FINA NCE . It is needle s to say how absolutely necessary are the effort of all rank to raise fund for equipment and uniform and from reports received it is evident that the utility of the Brigade will not be cramped for the want of this effort. Much financial help and support have been received from some Municipal Authorities but in the main the Divisions have only the public to appeal to for help. The means adopted are many, but those which are most popular and have also a double advantage are Socials, \iVhist Drives, Dances, and Concerts. Several Commis ioners have mentioned the great value of Social gatherings to the life of the Brigade; they are popular amongst members of the public and a distinct value in attracting recruits, besides permitting the wives and Iri nels of members to participate in the work and gain a knowledge of what the Brigade stands for, and the work carried out by those proud t o claim membership.

T he Brigade owes a great deal to the womenfolk of its members when it is remembered the hours which are spent away from home carrying out Brigade duties. I n most di tricts the number of Conferences held are increasing. In some di tricts they ~re on a large scale and compo e representatives from a wide area; m others they are organized by Assistant Commissioner or Corps uperintendents, and being less expensive can be held more frequ ently. uch meetings tend to a closer association between units and afford a good opportunity for interchange of views in Brigade matters. There has also been an increase in the number of Church Parades held, some being combined and including units from other di trict , but the majority being those of single unit attending their local church. I n many cases there is a special preacher and in a few churches a collection is made for our hospital in Jerusalem.

The following xtract from an interviev" with the l\fatron of the Royal London Ophthalmic Ho pital, which was published in the Nursing lVirrar of 11th F bruary, 1928, hows how very much the help of our members is appr ciated at this ho pital : . " Just now we certainly have a great deal of work to do, but I should lrke to tell you how much we owe to our V.A.D. helper. They come from far and wide, and give up an hour or two every week or fortnight to as ist the nur e . Lady Perrott ha charge of the V.A.D.s, and they are a boon and a blessing to u ." As a further and practical mark of appreciation the Matron obtained authority to invite me to select twelve members from amongst the voluntary helpers, to attend a course of lectures on Diseases of the Eye", which i being given to the nurses before their final examination. There were far more than twelve members desirous of attending these lecture. ' although t?e invitation was restricted to those Divisions actually attendmg the hospItal. Matron has very kindly intimated that she will be glad to welcome some of the members at the next course of lectures. It

Again this year we supplied the London Temperance Hospital two resident members for the five months May to ptemb r, to Lhe place of nur es who were away on holiday. The e m mbcrs drawn from No.1 District, No. 2 District, and No. 6 District, members being detailed to cover the whole period.

with take were four

Mrs. Falwas er, Lady Di trict Superintendent o. 8 Di trict, was in charge of the general arrangements on the day of the competition a si ted by if. Harvey Reeves, Lady District Superintendent No . 3 (Eastern) District. I should like to expre s my gratitude to these officers and all other lady officers who 0 ably assisted 'on this occasion. The judges for the competition were Dame Beardsmore- mith, D.B.E. , R.R.C., Matron-in-Chief of the Territorial Force, and l\'Ii s Todd, R.R .. , Matron of t. James Ho pital, Balham, and late Matron of the t. John Ambulance Brigade Ho pital in France, to boLh of whom we are xtr mely grateful. The Lady Patricia Ramsay pre ented the hield and prize. The winning team came from No. 4 District Liv rpool ur ing Divi ion . This team gained 4051- marks out of a maximum pos ible of 55<1. Elswick Works No.6 District followed with 359 mark. CIRL CUIDE The scheme to which I referred in my report la t year CAMPS. for members of the Brigade to attend Girl Guide amp' to look after the health of the girl met with great ucce . T\vent '-one camps were supplied and 24 member were employed, one camp b ng carried on for a month and being so large that it was nece.-~ary to have two members in attendance all the time. Reports show that the help which our member were abl to afford has been very much appreciated. I have just heard from 11i s L e Bak r. of the Girl Guide Organization, that they ""ould again this year much like to have the help of our members in their camps and we hope to be abI to meet all the requests which come in. The appointment of Miss Rideout senior Lady Di trict Offic r, ro. 1 District, as Lady District Superintendent of that Di trict will, I am certain, be a great stimulus to the work of the Nur ing Divi ion. As more and more Districts are being put on the county basis. Lady Di trict Superintendents are now very seldom appointed, and I f el I mu t refer to such an important appointment as that of Lady Di trict uperint nden t of No .1 (London) District. Miss Rideout has had an enormou amount of experience in the work and it is a great help to me personally to have her assistance. I beg to remain. Sir, Your obedient servant, ETHEL PERROTT, Lady Superintendent in Chief.

D ISTRICT.

During the last q u arter of t he year t h e District made a concerted effort to obtai n recruits, and for this purpose thirty Divisions formed Association Classes, the lectures in all cascs being given without a fee by either a Divisional Surgeon or Surgeons interested in our work. It is hoped that as a result of these Classes the report for 1928 wdl show a large numbcr of new members. I regret to report thc death of the following officers during the past year : Our late Commissioner, Mr. W . H. Winny, O.B.E., passed away on the 31st May, after an illncss of many months, during which time he was undcr the loving care of his colleague, Dr. orbet Fletcher, and other medical friends, and it was the pleasure of many of his other comrades in the District to render him little services. The funeral took place on Saturday, 4th J unc, and was attended by myself, the Assistant Commissioners, and nearly all the officers of the District Staff, together with a large number of officers and members of the Ambulance and I ursing Divisions of the District. You, Sir, paid a great tribute to our late Commissioner, by attending in person, whIch the District appreciated very much, as it showed your esteem for the great work ~1r. Winny did for the Brigade. The District has started a " vVmny Memorial" Fund, towards which the amount. of l 6- has alread y bcen recei vcd. The form of the Memorial is under consideration. 1 havc al 0 to report the loss of the following officers during the year : Dr. Leeson, of Twickenham Division, and Mayor of the Borough. Lady-Superintendent 111' . Franklin, No. 47, Finsbury .;. ursing Division. Dr. Corfe, let. Gas orps. Dr. Allan, roydon Di vision. The Annual InspectIon of the District wa held on Saturday, 11th June, in Hyde Park, the Lord l\Iayor of London, Sir Rowland Blades, Bart., inspecting the Ambulance DrvI ions and the Lady Mayoress the .l ursing Divisions. You yourself and the Lady Supenntendent-m-Chief were good enough to accompany the Inspecting Officers. All the Borough layors in and around London were invited to attend, and many were present. You kmdly forwarded to me after the Inspection a letter rccelved from thc Lord l\Iayor, expressing his approval of the Parade and his appreciation of our work in general. There was a total of 2,442 of all ranks on parade . The Officer' nnual Dinner and Dance were held at the Great Central Hotel, on 3rd December, and were attended by forty more officers and guests than on the last occasion. The Chief Commissioner and Lady \Vilkinson, Lady Pcrrott, Lieut.Colonel Turnbull, thc ' ommissioner of the ity Police, rajor Tomlin, the Chief onstable of the ~letropolJtan Police, "were amongst the guests of the District, who honoured us WI th thcI r presence. The success of the dinner was in a large measure du e to thc fforts of Distnct Officer Capt. Franks, who acted as Dinner Secretary ; Distnct Officer apt. Goodley, I.e., also afforded much assistance. Thc nnual District ompetitions were a source of much interest and I am sure, are a means of imprOVing the standard of efficiency in the District. The winners were as follows : Massey 1ainwaring Cup No. 41, Royal Arsenal Division. MacFadden up o. 36, East Croydon ursing Di vision. Osborn Shield o. 4 1 Royal Arsenal Division. Sleath Gent up Pte.

Lady largarct l\lacRae up Pinsbury (Onslow Street) " A" team (Cadets). The Trophies were presentcd to the winners by Lady \ Vilkinson at the close of the Competitions. My promotion to Commissioner necessitated some alterations in the Headquarters Staff. District Officer S. J Warren has been appointcd Assistant Commissioner in charge of "Western Area. . District Officer apt. VV. Goodley, M.e., has taken charge of the Public Duties III succession to District Officer Capt. Gerhold, who has been p laced on the Reserve List. Supt. N. B urton, o. 1, St. J ohn's Gate Division, has been promoted to District Officer, and is in charge of the records, etc. Lady District Officer Robinia, Viscountess Mountgarret, O.B.E., has been transferred from o. 5 District, and is detailed for duties connected with the V.A.D.'s in the London District.

" 10st of the Divisions have been inspected during the year, and many social functions held by them, have been attended by my Lady District nicer, Mis HOtlre, and myself. " I am most indebted to her for her valuable assistance to me during the year. "The practical value of social gatherings In connection with our work is undoubtedly great. Our Brigade life is more prommently brought b ,fore the publiC, and interests are created which are beneficial to the succes of our cause. " During the year a fair average amount of Public Duty has been performed by members of this Area. " This includes what I might describe as the big London and Public Duties and those local public duties such as Bank Holiday Duties, Theatres, memas, Football Matches, etc. " Many Church Parades have been held during the year, and these have often been attended by the local Municipal Authorities. " I bave to tbank the Officers of tbe Area for the loyal support they have afforded me in my work."

" The Road Scheme in this Area, particularly difficult geographically, is only in its infancy, but where stations have been possible they have been loyally and efficiently manned. " Such examinations as I have conducted have given evidence that there is a decided improvement in general knowledge. " Lastly the strength of the Area has been more than maintained. " I cannot close this report without bringing to your notice the unfailing energy and loyalty of my District Officers, Captain W. G. Butcher and Mrs. McCaffrey."

Copy of report from Assistant Commissioner Dr. N. Corbet Fletcher, CENTRAL AREA. 17th F.ebruary, 1928. " I am pleased to report that Central Area continues to progress in efficiency and In numbers; that it has increased to 27 Divisions with 1,085 members; and that during the year all calls of the Public Duty Officer have been satisfactorily met. This happy state of afIairs is due to the devotion anct support of my Area Staff, Dlstnct Officer, T. l\lcBride, and Lady District Officer, 1iss A. M. Walker, and also to the loyalty of Superintendents and other members of Divisions committed to my charge. Throughout the year I have been in close touch with all Divisions either by personal visits or by meeting the Officers in Charge at our bi-monthly Officers' MeetlDgs, and I have found that our montbly Gazelle serves a most useful purpose in keepmg us together. .. As items in our Area Scheme I have continued Educational Lectures, given by Experts, and sancttonC(l vanous other annual events-a Social and Dance in January, a Church Parade, a Cricket Match against St. Jobn's Gate Staff in June, and a Theatre night in Tovember. All these were carried out most successfully, the last-named bemg an innovation arranged through the kindness of Ambulance Officer F. E. Stallard, and bis friends of the \Vood Green Operatic Socletv, for the ben fit of entral Area Fund. " In conclu ion I belt eve there is a bright future before Central Area; and I am happy If in any "w ay I have contnbuted to its happin ess and prosperity." 1/

" I have the honour to submit my Annual Repcrt on the work of the Eastern Area for the year 1927. " A number of Dn:islOns were inspected at their Headquarters or when on Bank Holiday duty. EqUIpment "was found to be in good order and discipline satisfactory. " Dlstnct Officer aptaln W. Goodley, l\I.c., has been appointed Public Duty Officer. He will be greatly missed in my Area, where his inclefatigable energy, coupled with remarkable tact, has been instrumental in maintaining a high sense of diSCipline, and stimulated the Officers and men under him to greater efforts. He carnes with him my best \\ ishes in his new and arduous appointment. He is succeeded by District Officer C. J.

Her presence is already making itself felt to the advantage of the .c ursing Divisions. "Ni neteen Service Medals and fifteen Service Iedal Bars bave been awarded to members in the Eastern Area during the year 1927. " Much work is done in the Area at Hospitals, clinics, etc., and a large number of cases are transported to and from hospital in ambulances belonging to the Brigade.

" I bave tbe bonour to submit to you a very brief report of tbe work of the SouthE'rn Area for the last year. " The response to the call of Public Duty has been good, and while I am not in a position to give the exact number of duties carried out, I am sure that there is a very decided increase in the number of local duties and an increasing demand for such. A fact whicb shows that the general public in the Area is becoming aware of the necessity for trained Ambulance personnel and the availability of it for the asking.

" Since my appointment I have visited nine Ambulance and two ursing Divisions in the Area. " All Divisions in the rea have been visited and inspected during the year. The general efficiency of all ranks is atisfactory. " The following extract trom Divisional reports are of interest : " The Officers and Iembers of Acton Ambulance Division have built an Ambulance " agon in their spare time for Divisional use, representing many hours sacnfice of leisure by all contributing their services. "Southall Divisions have now been successful in establishing a Permanent Dressing Station in Southall, ensuring to the Division the support of the local authorities, and a Iedical omforts D pot ,\ ill soon be added. " I have received a fine report from the Criclde,\ ood Dl\'ision who were re ponsihl. for the First Aid work at the R.A.F. Pageant In June last, whcn a crowd of 100 ,000 were present. Letters of appreciation havc been rcceivcd from Sir J. S,tlmon, Air 1arshall, and also from the S .1\1.0. of R . .F. " The Reports from Tursing DivisIOns includc a vcry large amount of volunta ry work in hospitals, and instruction to Girl Guide, etc. " The large number of local duties acccptcd and satisfactorily carried out by Divisions reflects great credit upon thc Ollicers and ~lembcrs " Although some Ambulance Divisions havc a large proportion of theIr m mbers with ursing Certificates, I think wc should imprcss all ranks with th Importance of obtaining this certificate as early as possi blc."

Copy of report from Captain \Y. Goodley, Public Duty Officer. I TO 1 District " I beg to submit a report on the Public Dutles for thc year 1927, and trust th at you will pardon any omission made by mc, I having, as you are aware, only recently taken over this ·work. " A summary showing the personnel in attendance and th numbcr of case treated is given below. The number of personnel turned out for ciut ' duflng the y ear has been very large, and the casualties treatecl corr 'spondingly high . " The public duties arranged by Headquarters h,n;c been amply m t, and t he Exhibitions, Race l\Jeetings, and other speCial functIOns have been carri'd out to the satisfaction of all concerned. "During the year some very important functions have becn attendcd. and speaking generally, the personnel have fully maintalDcd and upheld the traditions of the Brigade. " In the Summer several Divisions did duty on roads running inlo London dun ng week-ends, and Bank Holidays, and with the expencnee gaincd It is hoped to push this scheme further this year.

SIR.

I have the honour to submit my report on the work of the Brigade in the County of Berkshire dunng the year 1927. There are 7 Ambulance Divisions, 2 I ursing Divisions, and also 2 Divisions of Cadets (boys) in the County; the personnel being 213 men, 33 women, and 60 boys . The divisions have been on duty at all important public functions in the Coun ty, and have done very good work in attending accidents at all times. The dIvisions met at Reading on Sunday, 2-! th July, when I had an opportunity of Inspecting them; the dIVIsions , all of which presented a smart appearance on parade, then marched to St. Lawrence's Church for a special service and address by the "lcar, for whose kindness and interest we are all very grateful. By the kind Illvltation of the ommissioner (1\Ir. Richards) the Berkshire Divisions were able to attend a route march and mspection arranged by o. XI District at the Royal Military College, Camberley. \Ye were very glad to have the opportunity of meeting Major Darvil-Smith and other senior officers, at the inspection, and the occasion proved a very valuable one in bringing together Brigade members from neighbouring counties and districts. I desir e to thank the member s of the Brigade in Berkshire for their kind assistance at all times a n d for the very efficient way in which they do their ambulance and nursi n g work. I have the honour to be, Sir , Your obedient servant, A. G. OSBORN, County Commissioner for Berkshire.

useful points in the course of his inspection. I had the honour to inspect the heltenham Corps, which is doing well, and County Surgeon Dr. IIebblethwaite inspected the City of Gloucester Division, the Gloucester ursing Division, and the Gloucester \Vagon \Yorks Division. The Ambulance services in Bristol, Gloucester, and Cheltenham have done good 'work both as regards removals to hospitals and nursing ho~es. and also in con.nection with accidents in the streets and surrounding country dlstncts. Geographically, they are pretty well placed for this work. Unfortunately it has been found impracticable to establish road patrols In this county, owing to lack of any fund for the work, the variolls corps and divisions having barely enough money for their actual needs. The general work in the county shows a good standard and there seems generally to be real keenness and esprit de corps in the units. I have the honollr to be, Sir, Your obedient s rvant, HUGH POWELL, Capt. County CommisSlOner for Gloucester. COU TY OF H :'IIPSHIRE. 19 ST.

AMBULANCE BHIGADE.

SIR,

I have the honour to report that the year 1927 has been marked by steady progrGss in numerical strength and working efficiency, and there seem reasonable grounJs for assuming that this progress will be maintained. The effective strength of the Brigade in Hampshire on 31st December, 1926, was 6 Ambulance Divisions, 9 Nursing Divisions, and 2 adet DivislOns, with a total strength of 51 Officers and 392 other ranks, whereas the figures on 31st December, 1927, were 10 Ambulance Divisions, 10 Jursing DiVisions, and 6 adet DivlSlons with a total strength of 54 officers and 722 other ranks, an increase of 7- per cent. I\Jotor Ambulance Transport.-There are now 5 Iotor Ambulance as against 3 last year, and it is very apparent that they are all doing extremely useful work. The new Ambulances are at Bournemouth and Lymington, the distribution being as follows : 1 Al verstoke Bournemouth 3 Lymington 1 Public Duty.-The amount of Public Duty undertaken by all the DiVisions has been very satisfactory again this year and includes the Air Pageant at IIamble , the visit of H.R.H. the Prince of "Wales to Bournemouth, attendances at Infant clinics, Girl Guide Camps, Hospitals, escorting invalids in motor-ambulances and every other occasion of major or minor importance in Hampshire towns where Divisions exist. The beach hut at Bournemouth has more than fulfilled my expectations, and reflects very great credit on Mrs. Hayes, Lady Divisional Superintendent of the Bournemouth Tursing Division, Miss Compton, Lady Divisional Supenntendent of the South bourne Nursing Division, and the members of their respective Divisions, who did duty there all through the summer. This hut has been provided through the generosity of the Bournemouth Rowing Club , and it replaces a canvas tent which was previously used for the same purposes. It is hoped to introduce tents in other parts of the county during the coming summer. Competitions.-Ambulance and Nursing ompetitions have been entered into keenly. The Bournemouth Nursing Divison won the District ompebtion for the " Perrott" Shield, and secured fourth place in the Finals in London. In addition this Division won three other competitions in Southampton, Lymington, and Bournemouth. The Southbourne Nursing Division won the Totton Competition, organized by the Calm ore ursing Division, and secured second place in the Southampton Annual Competition for the" Twiss Rose Bowl. The Bournemouth Ambulance Division won the Preliminary Competition for the" Dewar" and" Oxo " Cups, but was unab!e to go farther in the competition owing to illness. II

BRIGADE.

Guard of Honour.-A Guard of Honour of one hundred officr.rs and other ranks \vas supplied by the Bournemouth Am"mlance Division, Bournemouth Tursing Division, and Southbourne ursing Division on the occasion of the visit of H.R.H. the Prince of \V a les to Bournemouth on the 19th October. The Guard was closely inspected by the Prince, who spent a considerable time chatting with the various members, and His Royal Highness expressed himself as well pleased with the general smartness and efficiency displayed. This Guard of Honour was the first to be mounted in the history of the Brigade in Hampshire, and was only rendered possible by all the other Hants Divisions volunteering to send detachments to Bournemouth to do the necessary street duty while the Guard of Honour was on parade. A sufiicient indication, I think, of the spirit which now permeates the county. Cadets.-I am delighted with the increase in the number of Cadet Divisions and Personnel. II this improvement can be maintained, and there seems no reason against it, there need be no fear of a lack of new members to keep the old Ambulance and ursing Divisions up to a good working strength in the future. Fmance .-The financial state of the Divisions is satisfactory on the whole. All DiVIsions show credit balances, and recognition is dne to the Division Superintendents for the careful manner in which their funds are administered. General.-The close of the year was marked by the formation of a corps in I3ournemouth, and we are now represented in that town in a manner more in keeping with the enthusiasm and generous support I have always found there. I have only had charge of the County of Hants for fifteen months, this being my second report, and I am anxious not to give an unduly optimistic impression, but I certainly feel that there has been an lllcrease in keenness right through the county, and there is reason to thmk it will be maintained. The ounty Surgeon, Dr. F. C. Bottomley, O.B.E., LD., the County Officer, :'IIajor Chas. G. H. l\Ior e , ?YLR.C.S., the Lady County Officer, Irs. Chinery, M.B.E., and all the DIvisional Surgeons, have throughout the year rendered all the assistance that I have called upon them for, and I am deeply grateful to them and to the Diyisional Superintendents of all units for their loyal support and help. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, H. G. ORMAN \VHITE , County Commissioner for Hants.

SIR,

I have the honour to make my annual report for the year ending 31st December, 1927, which must of necessity be very brief, as I was only appointed to my present post early in the present year. ~he Oxford Corps deeply regrets the resignation of County Commissioner ?YlaJor J. . R. Freeborn, who has taken the keenest interest in the work of the Brigade, having helped to form the orps in 1 9 . I inspected the Oxford Corps and found it to be in a high state of efiiciency. The books and records were all in order. There is only one Division in the County outside the City of Oxford. I am, however, ~oping that at least two new Divisions will be formed this year, as since the formabon of the ounty Centre a good many classes in " F.A." have been held. Although it is difficult to inspire enthusiasm into the work in the country districts there are certainly some signs of improvement in this direction. I. desire to thank the officers and men of the Oxford Corps for the kind way in whIch they have received me as their County Commissioner. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, W. E. AUDLAND , County Commissioner for Oxfordshire.

SIR,

I .have the honour to submit my report for the year ending 31st December, 1927 . SInce I took over the charge of the County of Somerset, in Tovember, 1927, all the Divisions in the County have been inspected, one new Division has been formed at Banwell during the year, with a strength of twenty-two. All the Divisions appear to be financially sound, but I regret to find t.hat at least three of them have no men in uniform; lack of uniform I con ider defeats one of the main objects for which the Brigade exists, viz. that of doing Public Dut.v, but I hope this may be rectified before I am called upon t.o make anot.her Annual R port. The iotor Ambulances at Bath, MInehead, and \\'cston-supcr-:\Iare, are dOIng excellent work, some 60 cases having been dealt wIth. There are now ,\mbulance and 3 Nursing Divisions in the County, with a total strength of 32 Officers ancl 267 of other ranks. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient scrvant, F. SPRAWSON, Knight of Grace Order of St. John CommiSSIOner for Somcrset.

ER, ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE .

SPENCER PARADE, NORTHAMPTON.

28t h J.'\J arch, 1928. SIR,

I beg to submit my report for the year 1927 . r am pleased to state that the work of the Brigade has been well maintained during the year. Inspections .-These have been personally undertaken by myself in a majority of the Divisions, all of which were found to be in a high state of efficiency. Personnel.-At the close of the year there were 44 Ambulance Divisions, 28 Nursing Divisions, and 10 Cadet Divisions, making a total of 82 Divisions, the personnel being 1,191 men, 613 women, and 198 cadets, making a total strength of 2,002. Public Duties .-Practically every Division has rendered service at public functions, and have performed most useful duties in their weekly attendances at outdoor sports and similar meetings, and indoor places of entertainment. Cases Treated.-The total number of cases in which First Aid has been rendered during the year exceeds 18,000.

THE

No. III.

ST. JOHN A IBULANCE BRIGADE.

Transport.-Over 3,300 cases have been carried by the 17 Motor Ambulances in this District during the year, the mileage being approximately 1 ,600 miles . lIIilitary Hospitals Reserve.-I regret this reserve is not making great headway in this district at present. I am of opinion that the apathy is due pnnclpally to the \Var Office methods of handling this reserve in 1914 and 1915. If an assurance could be given that the members' interests would be safeguarded in the future by Brigade responsibility I believe this apathy would cease. Genel'al.-The public arc appreciativc of the 'w ork performed by the Brigade. There is also close co-operation existing between th e various pubhc services and units of the Brigade. I desire to express my appreciation to my Staff and to all members in the Dlstrict for their loyal support. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, W. HARVEY REEVES, Commissioner o. 3 (Eastern) Dlstnct.

I have the honour to report that the _ o . 3 (\Vestern) District has shown marked One each of Ambulance, un;ing , and adet Divisions having been registered. The personnel of the Distnct, exclusive of the District Staff, is as follows: Ambulance Divisions : 92 officers, 859 KC.O.sand men, total 951; ursing Divisions: 36 officers, 216 ambulance sisters, total 252; making a total strength of 1,203. A very grablylllg and sabsfactory feature of the work is the advance in thought, knowledge, and enthusiasm of the Cadet Divisions, which in my opinion is the happiest augury for the fut.ure of our work. Inspections.--All Corps and Divisions have been inspected during the year. The \\'arwickshire Corps was ll1spected by me at uneaton in July, when there were present on parade 222 officers and men and 103 lady officers and ambulance sIsters; also 7 cadets. I have also personally inspected the Walsall Divisions at Walsall and S. StaRs orps, also the Torth \Vorcestershire Corps. I am hoping to arrange a combined inspection of all S. Staffs Divisions at one time, also the two Worcestershire Corps, during the current year. !he Warwickshire Corps Cup was won by the City of Coventry Division for the tlllrd year in succession. A s~ield has been presented by Corps Superintendent VV. A. Hirons, of the W~rwlckshire Corps, for competition among the Cadet Divisons of the \ VarwickshIre District, and was won by Foleshill and Longford Cadet Division t< A " team, after a very keen competition.

AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

The Combined ompetition for No.3 East, No.3 Wcst, and Birmingham was held .at. Tortham1?t~n both for Ambulance. and ursin~ Pivisions. A meeting of Dlstnct COmlTIlSSlOners, County and Assistant Commissioners was held in the autumn, and provisional arrangements werc made for a projected camp for the Combined Districts, on the East Coast for the August of 192 , if sufficient numbers were handed in by 31st December; 300 was decided upon as a minimum, but as this number was not reached, the idea for the camp was abandoned. It is eVident however, that there is an increasing wish which becomes more pronounced year afte~ year that camps shall be resumed . The Road Patrol movement has been started in \Varwickshire, uneaton Di\ lsi on having carried out one or two week-end efforts in this direction , and inquiries ,rere made by other Divisions for attcmpts to be madc at Easter, and I feel sure th at the movement will spread. Many social functions have been held, notably at Stourbridge, Tamworth, Wilnecote, Walsall, Coventry, Foleshill, etc., and these all help t.o establish espnt de corps and good fellowship and deserve all the support superior oChc rs in the Distnct can give.

The keenness of the Divisional Surgeons IS a new feature In the Hlfmlngham Corps, which is much welcomed. This is encouraged by a urgeons ' :\nnu al rca, at which the County and Corps Surgeons as well as my_e lf m el the DI \ ISlOnal Surgeons . After the tea we have a discus ion on First AIel work, inclu(ling C.0111petitions and annual re-examinations and the duties and position of the DiviSiOnal Surgeons are explained for the benefit of any newly appOinted Surgeons. The good attendance shows that these meetings are appreciated. The Birmingham orps was inspected by yourself on 12 h J unc, at the King Edward's School Playing Grounds; the Inspection of the " -ome n 's Corps was carned out by Lady District Superintendent Irs . Falwasser at t.he Blrll1ingham Headquarters. Both Inspections were well attended, and, as regards numbers present, the Men's Inspection was a record for Birmingham . The yearly duties have been efficiently carried out and at the Castle Bromwich Flying Fete over 200 men and a number of the ursing DiviSIOns turned out for duty. A well attended Church Parade was addresscd by the Rector of Birmingham at St. Martin's Parish Church on 26th June. During the year a Rover Scout Section which has been attached to the City Tramways Division has been formed . The Inter-Divisional and Cup Competitions were keenly contested and the knowledge of First Aid shows considerable improvement. I cannot close this report without expressing my thanks to my Distnct and Corps Officers as well as to the Divisional Surgeons and Officers and to the rank and file for the excellent work they have done during the year: I should like to place on record the cordial relations which continue to exist between the Birmingham ounty District and the No.3 Western and Eastern Districts from which we have so r ecently been severed. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, J. HENTON WHITE, Captain, Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John of J erusalem.

29th February, 1928. SIR, I now beg to hand to you for your information a detailed statement regarding the organization and development of the St. John Ambulance Brigade in o. 4 District. The period embraced is from 1st January, to 31st December, 1927. Ge~lI'ya1.-1 believe I am correct in saying that the condition of the units of the Brigade in the counties constituting o. 4 District was never better. The spirit prevailing is excellent, and on all sides there are evidences demonstrating keenness and enthusiasm in the work. I am of the opinion that considerably more attention is being given to detail work by tho')e undertaking secrdarial duties, and the supervision and care displayed by Officers in charge of Divisions is infinitely better and more sustained. Evidence of this i.s revealed by the fact that every unit in No.4 District has rendered its return for the year 1927. . New developments such as co-operation with Lifeboat Services and Police Forces, Road Patrolling, etc., have now taken hold and are being well operated in many areas, but it is obvious there is very gTE-at scope for increased activities in some of these directions, more especially with regard to the rendering of First Aid along many of our arterial roads. The Brigade organization has for many years past placed at the disposal of the public a most valuable and comprehensive First Aid service, and my only feeling is that up to now, the Public have not realized what has E

be~n ~one for them, aI1:d O\,;ing to this have not grasped the necessity of supporting assistIng and encouragl.ng the Briga.d t n:o."em nt in a manner that might. hav e bce~ e~pected. However, t~lS doe~ not ~ls-spmt or I' t.ard t.hose engaged in rendering first aid and transport. Sen"lCeS to IndiViduals, who, through serious accident, may require such humane assl tance. Strenglh. -It has been a .matter ?~ great satisfaction to me during the past three or four years to have .been In a posItIon to report a steady increase In all ranks, and fo:: ~h~ year under revlCW I have t? record the following new formations: .t1 mbulallce DW2swns, 10 (St. Helens Junchon , Haydock, Port Rainbow Prescot Howrah 'V: ~n.d R. Jacob's,. Liverpool, Everton, Li ttle Lever, Preesall, and Sabden). uysmg DW2swns, 3 (CarlIsle, Farnwortll, and Equitable). Ambulance Cadels, 5 (Great Harwood, Lyt.h am St. AI1:n~s.' Waterbarn, Cheadle Heat~1 Railway, and Liverpool Nortl~). Nurs2ng C~det Dzv2swn, 1 (Great Harwood). ThiS shows a total increase of 19 umts , two of which were formed in 1928. This, so far as it tS:0es, is satisfactory, but I have a strong feelIng that in a densely populated county lIke Lancashire, containing t.hree large clhes, many county b,:,rough~, and other large towns , the expansion of Ambulance and :t\msll1g umts With theu accomya~yin~ Cade~ Divisions, should be more rapid. I have no ?e~ltatI~n m sa.ymg that increased ambulance services are llecessary, and the.p.u~lIc m theIr own mterests, should demand and assist m tillS chr ctlon. . No DIVls~ons have been disbanded during the period under review, but animatlOn IS .te.~poranly suspe~ded in the following units: Y.M . . A . and laughton Ambulance DlvlslOn, Askam, Hmdley and Lancaster Ambulance adet DIVIsions At the preseJ?-t .ti.me there are in No.4 District 15 Corps, 137 Ambul~n c(' Divisions 101 ursmg DlvlslOns, 50 Cadet Divisions ( . and T.).

The Cadet. movem nt has Dot b een so active as could have b een desired, and so far as I can see t.ll re is more clil1ic ultv in mai ntaining interest amongst caclet members than onc experiences wit.h th e adult units. This shou ld not b e so, amI if the Officers in charge of OLlr children r ecruits 'w ould take care t.o interest them in subjects outside First Aid, useful results might. accrue. The Cadet portion of our organization must be cncouraged and stimulated as much as possible. Tt is expected that the recruiting of Gmt will be greatly assisted by the enrolling of Cadets into the parent Division when their age allows t.his to be done. V.A .D.s.-Lady DIstrict Supenntenclent. 1\1rs. Tweedale, A.R.R.C., J.P. , has the entire responsibility of the raislllg, organIzing, and general management of women 's V.A.D.s. The!::iu cess of the mo\'e ment in raising th ese detachments has been very considerable, and t.h e following tahle gi yes the distribution of V.A.D. units in the several count.ies, forming .I.

I was pres('nt at t.he Royal Inspcction a t Liverpool on the 19th Jul y as County Controller, and also at t.he olli wi inspections above named. Before I pass this portIon of my report I would hke to record my obligations and thanks to i.lrs. Twccdalc, for what she has clone in organizing and supervising V.A.D. work. Shc IS a t.. John A sistant ounty Controller for East and 'Yest Lancashire and Cheshire. Road Palrol.-Thls work has expanded very considerably. The units named in my last report as undertakIDg l~oad Patrol work are still functioning, and in additi on new eflort.s have been made ID the direction of lDstitut.ing new patrols at Lytham St. Annes, Thornt.on, ~ -orthwich, Carlisle, and Oldham. A number of Aid Posts have also been established. Most of these are of a temporary nature, and can be moved, so as to meet the exig('ncies of the circumstances. In many instances th se Aid Posts are comprised of b ell tents, fully equipped WIth First. Aid appliances, and from these centres, patrols operate covering perhaps two or three miles in ach direction. SpeCIal reports were sent to you dealing with the question and operation of Road Patrols in this area. These were dated respectively 2.5.27 and 19.9.27. The Carlisle Division demonstrates considerable energy in this direction. I find that eleven miles of roads radiating from Carlisle to the north, east, and west, receive .I.

w eek-end and holiday attention. Northwich Division has, within a radius of four miles from the town, established 31 Ambulance Boxes. The e have proved exc~edingly useful. The Central Division of the Oldham Corps have erected a wooden station at Grains Bar, a dangerous point just outside Oldham . This was opened by the Mayor of Oldham. The Corporation. Tramways assiste? greatly by allowlllg free travel on the trams to tho e proceechng to and returlllng from dutv at this st<l:tion. This i very tangible evidence of the usefulness of the work these' men are rlomg, and onp feels very grateful to the Oldham Corporat;on. It mu.st be d!stinc~ly under tood that this Road Service is arranged at 'w eek-ends and dunng holJday times. It would be quite impossible to expect that members of the S .].A.B., who are mainly working men, could afford nlOre of thrir timc to this wOlk , which is purely voluntary. The great wonder is that onc finds so mrtnv men willi.ng to sacrifice their own rest and holiday time to take up this human(tarian service. I ~m. quite co~nizant of the fact that other units in the District. rtrC' doing road work, but It IS very difficult to obtain reports. It is a pity that this informatIon doC's not come to hand, as the general public should be made conversant. wit.h all that IS being done.

. Lifeboa,t S~rvi.ces .-Co-operation between the Brigade and the Lifeboat Institution thlS ,Dlstnct IS exactly the same as 'w hen I reported a year ago. \\' have Ul11ts of the Bngade at four out of six Lifeboat Stations. Arrangements to efIect thls cooperation exist and are effective. R.oute .lI1arches.-In East Lancashire Route Marches are popular, and from time to time these parades are assembled under the supervision ora membC'r of thr District Staff or. Senior ~rigade qfficer. Yery useful and instructi"c work i devcloped and dea.lt with. J?utles assocl~ted with the rendering of First AHI in suppo ed cases of aCCidents or dIsasters (whIch are always staged) are earned out. ThiS forms portion of the effort made by these units towards effiCiency.

Comfort Depots.-\Ve are fortunate in having fifteen Comfort Depot" Of these two are new and were brought into existence at Dukinfield and Rochdale. I know of no br~nch of Brigade work :-rhich, in an uno. tentatious manner, does more helpful work l.n the cause of hun:amty than that accomplished at these Depots \Vh ere\'er ~stabllshed the populanty of the unit organizing a omfort D pot is greatly mcreased. Church Parades .-Combined Church Parades were held on the follOWing dates: 1st May, at \Vballey; on parade 243 . 26th Jnne, at 1\Ianche ter Catheclral, O\'cr 30.0 on parade. 18th September, at horley; ~20 on parade. 1 til September, at HJTldley; 200 on parade. At Hindley members of the .D .C. attended Cburch along with memhers of the S.J.A .B. . In a~dition numerous Divisional church parades were heltl under mv sanction. I am dIsposed to encourage these, as I consider they are in many ways useful to those concerned. Combined. Parad~s and Inspections . - (1) Cheshire Corp~ and Divisions were paraded for mspecttOn on the 28th May at \\'insford under the command of Assistant ~ommissioner C. H. Fowler-Jones, who had with him District Officer 01. haloner III charge of th~ men and District Officer Reekie in charge of th women. The Inspecting Officer was Col. C. 1. Elhs, c.1\J.G., T.D ., r.D . (Assistant Surgeonin-Chief). There were 611 of all ranks on parade. (2) On the 18th June the South-East Lancashire Corps and JJivisions assembled for Inspection at Heaton Park, by the Deputy Chief ommlSSloner ( 01. G. A. Moor~, C.M.G., J?.s.O ., M.D.). Assistant Commissioner Plm, was in charge: assoc~ated WIth him were Assistant Commissioner \\'oodcock and Dist.rict Officer Reekle. Over 2,300 paraded. This was a record so far as members were concerned, and I consider it was also the finest effort I have witnessed 'whilst I have been connected with this movement. (3) On the 26th June I inspected the Fylcle Divi ions at Kirkham in the grounds of the Grammar School, kindly lent by the Governors and Hcadmaster (the Rev. Creswell Strange, M.A.) . Supt. Donnellv, of the Blackpool Division was in command. All the units in this area were represented, and the parade totailed 379 of all ranks. Special reports of all ~hese turnouts have been furnished to you by the Inspecting Officers, and further copies of these reports have been published in my District Order dated the 5th August, 1927.

R.N.A .S.B.R.-The Inspecting Offlcer detailed by the Admiralty to conduct the Inspection of the S.B.R., paid a four days' visit to this District, and carried out inspections as follows: Crewe, Manchester, Oldham, and Bolton. At each of these centres I arranged that the Inspecting Officer should be met by one of the District Staff or a Senior Brigade Officer. I personally a~tended a! Bolton and was glad of the opportunity of meeting Surgeon-Commander Rlvers, R. . Re-Union.-On the 12th March I again had the pleasure of dining with the R. .A.S. B.R. Old omrades' Association, who held their second re-union at the Midland Hotel, Manchester. I spent a very pleasant evening with these ?ld Comrades. I was greatly impressed with their enthusiasm and love of the service to which they belong . This reserve is still most popular in o. 4 District, and the membership of the Comrades' Association is increasing yearly. Compelilions.-It is exceedingly interesting to be in (\ position to record ~~a~ the team from the Liverpool ursing Division in charge of the Lady DlvlStOnal Supennt.endent, :Miss McCabe, again ,,\'on the Bute" Cup at the meeting .of ~he \\'elsh Eisteddfod. This same team carried its successes a step further by wlDnmg the" Perrott" Shield III the final competition for this trophy, held in London on the 13th fav. PrIor to these major victories they carried off four Distri ~ t trophies . ., Pun" T1'OPhv . -A verv beautiful silver cup has been presented by Assistant Commissioner i;-. E. ck B. PI-m , for compC'tition amongst the Police Forces in England, \Yales Ireland, and the Isle of ::'Iran. The competition thus introduced will have the effect ~f stimulating to a marked degree the efficient rendering of First Aid amongst the Police Forces of the countries named. It Will be remembered t.hat in the year 1899 Major lolloy, of Blackpool , gave a silver challenge cup to be competed for amongst the Police Forces in 1 o. 4 District, which then embrace([ the Isle of Man . This trophy has produced many keen competitions, and was last won by the Lancashire Co.nstabulary. By the introductian of the" Pim .. Police up, the" Molloy " Trophy IS not now to be competed for, but 1 havc the permission of the Donor to do whatever I wish with t~e Cup. I fe~l th<l:t thiS should be devoted to Police Competitions, and efforts v.rIll be made m thiS directIon. " Daniel Hall" hlCld.-Supt. Daniel Hall, of the Ashton-under-Lyne Division, with great thoughtfulness and generosity has presented a very handsome silver challengc shIeld to be competed for annually at the South-East Lancs Review. .. The Southport .J. .A. have kindly promised to give two trophies for competition as may bc decidcd upon by the Commissioner of the Distric~. . \Yc may lack many thing in rTo. 4 District, but we certamly do no~ e~penence any difficulty in orgamzlDg kcen competItion, nor do. we .l ack generous IDdlvlduals who arc prt'parcd to provide handsome trophles a~ prIzes m these tests.

The Conference, although not ncar]y so large as usuai, owing to the geographical position of LancaRter in the District, was thoroughly enthusiastic, and I am correct in recording thai. everylJOdy present enjoyed the function. Those attending the Conference had much pleasure in listening 1.0 01. Bingham's address, which was considered useful and practical. Publtc FUllctions.- t Iorecambe on Sundav, the 1st ..\lay, T um"eiIcd a \Var Memorial and Roll of Honour (erected in the Dnil Hall of the ~Iorecambe Ambulance and nrsing Divisions) to those who sen"cd in the Great \Val. On Saturday, the 2nd J ul)" I had the honour and pleasure of c1er.lari ng open a very nne Drill Hall, acquired for the use of the Darwen Di\·isions. The Iayor of Darwen and other influential ladies and gentlemen were present. ThiR is an C'xcellent building and 'willundoubtecllv innease the efflClcnCy of the' units concerned. Public Duties.-On the 11th July the to\vn of l\hddleton was senollsly devastated by floods. Bridges, factories, houses, and public builcllngs were wholly or partially demolished. It is Ven" difficult to record the splendid work done bv the i'lIicldkton Ambulance and ursing Di\"l~ions, who worked day and night In the JI1tereRts of the people whose lives \\ere in danger through thiS appalling dls:lstel. Assistance was given by Oldham, Failsworth , ::\orth-\\"cst ..\Ianchester, Chadderton, and Castleton Divi ions . It is utterly impo Sible in a few bnef \\'orcls to express all that was done by the members of the Rngade dunng this terrible time . On the 28th-29th October, Fleetwood was practirally engulfed by a tidal \\()w. Between ~,OOO and 3,000 house were flooded, and the condition of the marooned people was very desperate. The Fleetwood Dn:iSIOn were Immediately at work, and for several days and nights were continuously employed a SiStI ng \\h 'rc :1.~ 'Istance was necessary. They were ably helped by the neighbouring Dn.lslons, I.e. Thornton, Preesall, and Blackpool. In addition to the work associated With rescuing people from the floods, I was asked by the Chief Constable of the County to take over and run the ~IilItary Hosp ital situate at the Hutment Barracks, so that thIS buildlllg houlcl act as an o,'erfiow to the Cottage Hospital at Fleetwoorl. ThIS was c10nc with the glllclanc.e and assIstance of Lady District uperintenclent Mrs. T\\"ecdale, and remalllcd opened for five or six weeks. After the closing of the Hospital \\'f' \\"cre abk to hand to the Local Auth ority qllite a useful sum of money remailllng 0\ Cl. In connection with this disaster, I have received lettC:'rs of thankc: from the Ch3 rman of the Fleetwood V.D.C., the Chief Constable of the County, and the G.O.C. 42nd (East Lanes.) DiviRion . Special reports have been furnished to you concerning the above dlsaslers . On the occasion of the visit of H.R.H. Prince of \Vales to Lancashire, Westmorland, and Cumberland, on the 2 th, 29th, and 30th June, comprehensive arrangements were made over the whole route traversed by I-lls Royal Highness. I proceeded from Preston to ::\Iilnthorpe and inspected the First t\1(1 arrangements made . I was perfectly satisfied with all I sa"w, and I have to recont my thanks to the various Chief Constables concerned for the assistance they gave me. Colonel Simpson of the Liverpool Corps made ample and mo t efflclcnt arrangements to meet the requirements for the necessary rendenng of l'm;t AIel on the occasion of the visit of Their l\lajesties the K1ng and Queen to LI\ erpool OIl the 19th July. Twenty-three Ambulance Stations "were established and 224 of all ranks paraded. Over 100 casualties were dealt with, and some of these were of :1. senouS nature. Ambulance Stations were established and run on the occasion of the Ro,"al Lancashire Agricultural Society's Show at Bolton on 2 th and 29th July, and 1st August. The Ambulance Staff and material were supplIed by the Bolt0n Corps under the supervision of Corps Superintendent F. Lomax, M. B.E. The Secretary of the Society wrote in no measured terms concerning his indebterlness and that of his Society, for the excellent work performed. Some fortyeight cases were treated. Street Duty wac; again undertaken on Wh1t-Monday and \¥hit-Friday, by the me".bers of the Manchester and Salford Corps, on the occasion of the \Vbitsunhde processions. Some idea of the work done by the Brigade on these two days can be obtained from the number of accidents requiring attention. 1,037 cases were dealt with, including 9 remo'"als to hospital; 219 St. John personnel were on duty on the Monday, and 245 paraded on the Friday. .

REPORT OF THE COl.LVIISSIONER THE ACTING CHIEF COMMISSIONER, ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE, ST. JOHN'S GATE, CLERKENWELL, LONDON, E.C. 1. SIR, 31 st December, 1927 . I have the honour to submit a brief report of thc No.5 District for the year endlllg 3 1st December, 1927 . Steady progress is bei ng made both in numbers and efficiency, and it is pleasing to report that the incre~se in membership is 568.

DISTRICT .

It is regretted that three Divisions have been disban~ed, owing to lac~ of inter~st, but against this twenty-seven Divisions have been registered and sanctIoned dunng the year. The total membership is now 10,532. The nnual amp was held at Scarborough in the last week of June. I desire to place on record my warm appreciatIon of the services of Assistant Commissioner H. C. Else, the Camp olllmandant, District Surgeon Capt. \Vood, as P .:.VLO ., and the Camp taft . . The District has received from generous donors the fOUOWlllg Trophies fo r competItIon : :\Iiclland Arca: The Area Shield, provided from funds given by Messrs. Leather of Bradford. South-Eastern rca: A Shield kindly given by Lady District Officer Mrs. A. M . PIckering, l\U3 .E., A . R.RC., J.P. • Tort.hern Area : Two 13ronze and Oak Standards for competition among Cadet DIVISions, ktndly given by Lady orps Superintendcnt 1.lrs. Scatterty, :M .B .E . To th ese donors I exlenrl my best thanks. Trophies for compe lltlOn no~v number 78. ft IS wit.h the clet']H.! t regret I have to record the loss to the District caused by the death of t.he followin g m embers : Askern Xur. ing D1 vision :\ICll- and Longton Division Barnolclsw1Ck Division Thorne Division Conisborough Divi sion . hlpkv );"ur'ing 01\ ision 13arlborough 01 \'ISlOn

The u!'u a l Drum H cad Service at Ponlcfract was held in July, with a record attendance of approximately 1,200 members. 1 havc rc<.: 'i\'ed rep orts of " First Aid" banng been rendered in 3~.411 cases, but as In lhe Count\' of Lincol n alone the cases exceeded 19,000 and Keighley Corps 2 ()(}O, the reporleel c:ases for th e Di t.ncl must fall \'ery short of the actual number. Many thousands of OC'C<"hlons wh en help has b een given have not b een reported. [he system ot grouped J llspections is popular with our m e mbers and I would quot one s uch case at Woll ato n Park, in the city of Kottingham, when 1,174 all ranks w cre on parade. The Transport work has increased rapidly. One corps alone r eceived calls to, and con\'c\ccl. 2 , IO cascs The'Road crv lcc scheme IS progres wg qui etly , but I think satisfactorily. In thiS Lonnedron It has come to my notice the ca c of a Division whose Transport Oniccr reCCl\ cd a phonc call between 10 and 11 p.m. to a road accident miles away. Our people With the Ambula n ce were on the spo t within 25 minutes, to find that one man had been kIlled and three others (scriously injured) they conveyed to Hospital. ... olttngham ounty and Shefneld ity are making marked progress with the sche m e. Our 13arnolclswlCk m e mbers have now formed a Corps and are building a new Hall at a co. l of r 5.000 . Derbyshire outll Area provided Ambulances and men to follow the Competition in tlle great :.'Iliners' Road Race organized by the :\liners' ,Velfare Centres and the Nollillgham EvelllJlg J.\ ews. The Dist.rict talement of Accounts shows an income of £ 146 1 s. 10d. The whole of my Distnct is in excellent order, and in a very hlgh state of efticie ncy, both from my standpoint and the standpoint of the great general public, amo ng whom, and for whom, w e exist, I cannot conclude this very brief report wlt.hout recording my indebtedness to every member of my staff. I am fully alive to the fact that the excellence of their work is due in no small measure to the goodwill of all Corps and Di visional Officers and the love which all ranks have for our Order. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, S. W. :\I ALKI Knight of Grace, Ordcr of St. John, Commissioner .

T~ere lS only a shght 10crease recorded in the Ambulance Divisions but this ~r t~1Ok, may.be regarded as satisfactory in view of the fact that, owing' to se\'e;~ a e depressIOn, a large nu~ber of members have removed to other parts of the ~ounhtry 10 ~uest of work, whilst ?thers have emigrated. There is a slight incre::tse 10 t e Nurs10g personnel and also 10 the Cadets. The actual figures are as under : Ambulance Divisions 3,09~ ~ursing Divisions . 9 5 Boy Cadet Divisions 19 Girl Cadet Divisions 125 GRAND TOTAL

As in form er years, the ewcastle-on-Tyne an.rl Armstrong-Whitworth Corps provided the first-aid service at the local Festival. This involves a continuous rota for ten days and nights, and this year 248 cases were d ealt with. The Hull Corps provided the usual first-aid services during the week of the annua l fan, wllCn 2 6 cases were treated. On 14th February a very serious collision occurred on the London and NorthEastern Railway outside Paragon Station, Hull, some 12 persons being killed anrl a large number seriously injured. A number of Brigade members left work to render assistance. Stretchers and material were issued by the Hull Corps Headquarters. Appreciation of their servi ces was acknowledged by the Divisional General Manager of the L. & .E. Railway by a donation of £5 and a letter of tbanks to all concerned. In connection 'Nith the Police Box system in Newcastle, the local corps equipped, and continue to maintain each of the boxes with first-aid material. This type of sen ICC has extended to Tynemouth and orth Shields, also Gateshead and Sunderland, where the local units of the Brigade have undertaken the responsibility, and IS being adopted also in Hull. Road Service Duty has been efficiently carried out in several areas during the summer months. The Hull Corps, Filey, Bridlington, Scarborough, and Malton DiVIsions have done particularly good work. Four permanent Huts are now established on the IIullScarborough Road.

COi\DIISSIOXER. lAR KET DR.\YTON,

15th July, 192 SIR,-I haye thc honour to submit my reporl for 19~7. DUring lhe year personally inspected almost all the DI\ ISIOr.S ID the distnct, both mbulanLC and Nursing, and re-examined a good number ami am Ycry pi 'ased to ay that 1 found the members well up to their work, and displaying keennes and inlellIgence ... . There are not many opportunities of pu bhc work in thiS <.hst.nct, bu l the 1)1 " .J :lon s take adyantage of such as do ari e and thcir effiCient help is yery much appreciated. As usual good work was done at the Horticultural Fet.e at. Shrewsbur), and a t. the Shropshire and \\' e t i\Iiclland Agricultural Sho\\. At the former Show I ha d the opportunity of seeing for myself the arrangements. made by th.e .Bn~<Hk for the reception of cases requiring assistance, and noted with great sat.ls1act.JOn th ei r extreme conyenience as well as the effiCiency of the aid rendered b;. lhe member.. I am quite sure that an increasingly high \:alue IS placed upon the sen"ices of t.he brigade in this county. . I regret to say that our numbers have not. increased as much as I could WI sh, but certain steps have been taken in the last few months which 1 t.rust :\"1.11 b~ar fruit and leaJ. t.o an imprm'ement in the future . There ha\'e been som' chfflculb cs in the Shrew bury Di\'ision, and it has been decided to lry <lnu establIsh 1.\\0 dl\·I.;JOns there a town Divi ion and a RaIlway DIVISIOTJ as had eXisted pre\ lOUS t o l hc 'Var.' ~rrangements a;e in progress, but are not. 'yet complele. Oakengates, our most recently formed Di\ision, has macie an xcell e nt start , and the men are well trained and keen. Oswest.ry and llanclwood Di vision s are well organized and flourishing. The County Ambulance Cup was competed for this year by the OS:\'l'stry ,:lld Oakengates Divisions and \-vas won by the former after a close conte ,t . 1 he.l. ur mg Divisions are doing excellent work. The members attend wcll, and arc 1I1t.e rested in their duties, and the Divisional Supennt ndents are acbve. The Hereford I lusing Division, in who e progress I am much inlerest.ed, conL1n ucs to hold its own in spite of many difflculbes. I cannot speak too highly of the devotion of Dr. Bulman, the Divisional Surgeon, ancl 1iss Long, t.he ILll1l>cr In Charge, to whose efforts its success is due . There was again a keen contest for the District Tursing Shield, which was aga ID carried of£ by the Oswestry Division. The Girls ' Cadet Corp at l\tIadeley continues to make progress. There is a pr sped of establishing one at Broseley, but it has not yet matenalized. . I must express my deep gratitude to the District Lady Superintendent., 1\1.ls5 C. E. Hughes. Her ungrudging help and advice on all qu st.ions connected With the Jursing Divisions has been invaluable. I must express also my grateful thanks to the Divisional Surgeons an? S~ pcr intenclents to whose untiring work the success of the Brigade in this Dlstn ct 15 primarily due. . I am painfully conscious, however, that though much work has been done J11 the District, a large amount has been left undone or clone imperfectly by me, but I trust that with renewed health and I hope consequently increased activity a b etter result will be attained next year. I have the honour to be, Your faithfully, ARTHUR R. F. EXHAM, M.D., MaJ'or, Commissioner .\'0. 7 District, St. J ohn A mbulance Brigade.

On Sunday, 22nd l\1ay, I had the pleasure of inspecting the Surrev umts at Guildford and attending the opening of the new Headquarters of the GuIlclford Corp by Lady Kno'wles, who deputised for Lady Onslow, ab ent OWIng to Ill-health . The H eadquarters are admirably suited for the work of the bngade , and wIll add con iderably to the already most efficient transport and other work now beIng undertaken by the Corps. County of Henl Church Pavade. -The Annual hurch Parade wa held at Canterbury Cathedral on Sunday, 26th June, 1927, tbere being on parade 40 Ambulance Officers and f en, 155 Tursing Officers and Sisters, and 79 Cadets 1\.JaJor. TobIe was in command . The Parade was inspected by Dr. C. oLton , the la te Commissioner, 1 o . Dlslrict. Owing to unforeseen circumstances I was unable to be present, but from the r port submitted to me those present on parade fully upheld the traditions of the Bngade for smartness and good discipline. Combined Parade

and 11 Districts (Surrey Umts).

Some of my Surrey Units again attended the parade held by TO 11 DIstrict at the Royall\Iilitary College, Camberley, on Sunday, 11 th Apnl , 1927. 1r. Heesom, District Officer for Surrey, was detailed to represent me at the Inspection . As my units only supported TO. 11 District, I will leave detalls for mclusion by the Commissioner No. 11 District in his report. Inspections.-During the year all units were visited in their own lo cality and inspected. The Inspecting Officers representing me paid particular attention to Drill, Uniforms, Stores and Records. Their reports were encouraging and show that efficiency is being maintalDed at a high standard throughout the District. The neatness and correctness of the records reflects much credit on those responsible for their compIlation and preparation . Finance.-During the year the following ten units held Flag Days and the total gross receip ts amounted to £9 17 2s . 6d. Caterham, £35 19s . 3d.; Tunbridge Wells, £107 lIs . 4d. ; Borough of R eigate Corps, £165 7s. 4d.; Horsham, £130 2s . lI d.; Ramsgate, £ 7 ISs. 6d.; Littlehampton , £64 6s. 3d.; Dover, £37 3s. 4d.; Sittingbourne, £80 Os . lId .; Guildiord Corps, £1 70 lOs. 2d .; Chatham, £ 38 5s. 6d. The Maidstone Division subscribed £ 15 and the Tunbridge Wells Division £5 55. to the District Fund. The keenness of all ranks in assisting in every way to further the utility of the Brigade by working hard to raise money for the purpose of acquiring uniform and eq uipment is most gratifying and very praiseworthy.

It is needless to say how absolutely necessary such efforts are as ther~ is no grant or subsidy of any kind whatsoever, and the pu~li~ have to be .appealed to m order that the members who give their time and eXl?ert tralDmg f~r nothm~ shall not b~ burdene.d with expenses of providing the matenal n ecessary m rendenng such aId to theIr fellow citizens. The finances of the units generally are in a healthy state. . It is pleasing to report that mu ch encouragement and finanCIal h elp have been received from vanous Municipal Authonties, notably those of Herne Bay, Gravesend and orthfieet, Dover and Eastbourne. .. . . I trust the day is not far distant when the public authonb.es wll~ r ealtse that an ambu lance unit -is as much a necessity in any town as a Fue Bngade, a~d that facilities for the protection of life and limb will equ a l those at present prOVIded for the protection of bricks and mortar. AwaJd.--It gave me much pleasure to report to you that g<l:llaI?-t attempt to save hfe bv Pnvate l\Ioore of the Caterham Division, and the Dlstnc~ as a ,,:vhole ~re gratefu l to the harter-General of the Order for the. sympathetic consJd eration It gave to my application and for the award made to Pnvate il-100re. . All ranks congratulate I nvate :\loore on his gallant attempt at rescue and on bel.ng awarded the Life Savmg Medal of the Order of St. John , which I presented .to hIm at aterham on the occasion of the dedication of a new motor ambulance gIven to the DlvislOn . . HIS unselfish action has brought credit t.o the Brigade in general and to hImself m particular. ., . . The District also learnt WIth pnde the appolDtment of Pnvat~ HolmaI?- ' Folkestor:e DiVIsion, as ssistant Inspector of Police for the TanganyIka TerrItory. It ~s mterestmg to report that he lectured on First Aid on board g.oing out to. take up hIS duties, and that he hopes to form a Division of the Brigade m the TerrItory at the ea r h est opportu ill t y. COflC!USIO 'It .- I again wish to record my high appreciation of the untiring assistance and loyal support recel "ed from every Officer and member under my c~mmond. I admire the self-sacnficing ,york done by all ranks from the D~stnct Staff do:w n to the latest enrolled recruIt. Everyone is doing yeoman serVIce for suffenng humalllty and It i a PIty that more of the population do not follow the fine ex~mple of brot.herhood and unselfishness displayed by Officers and members o~ the Bngade. Both to men and women, I can only say, as before , and yery llladequately, Thank you. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obendient servant, A .

HIEF OM MISSIONER, AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

SIR.

I ha\'e the honour to submit my Report for the year ending 31st December, 1927. The BrigadC' Ifi ornwaU has well sustained its position as a useful public service. Never ha the leyel of effi.ciency been so high, nor the spirit of friendship been more marked between the members of the various Diyi<;ions. The excellent work done by the members has led to increased public interest and financial support. Headqllarters have been built at Falmouth at a cost of £1,500 to house the A.mb1.l1ance and Nursing Di\'isions, and the ssociation Centre. The whole of the money has been raised by public subscription. The secretary of the finance and bullchng committe, Mrs. Hoskin, gave the whole of her time for over twelve months to the raiSing of th su m needed. The Camborne Division have built Headquarters costing £600. The premises were opened free of debt. They consist of a garage for the motor ambulance, a lecture hall, and a completely fitted ward to deal with road accidents. The Headquarters are on the main trunk road pas ing through the centre of the county. The newly formed Pendeen Division have also built a convenient Headquarters on the main road much used by visitors to the Land's End. The site for the building was given by the Geevor Tinl\Iines, Limited, which Company also gave £ 100 towards the cost. The site was cleared, the foundations dug, and practically the whole of the labour in the building was given, by the members of the Division. Most of the Divisions in ornwall now own the ir H eadquarters. The Motor Ambulance Transport had a very busy year, in fact the calls were so many that a serious problem has arisen in staffing on account of the difficulty of men getting away from their work so frequently. During the year every Officer in Charge of an Ambulance had a telephone installed, or arrangements were made whereby he might be called by telephone. The names and telephone numbers were placed in the telephone directory under" Ambulance".

THE ACTING CHIEF COl\1l\IISSIO ER, ST. JOHN A IBULA CE BRIGADE. SIR,

I have the honour to submit my report for year ending 31st December. 1927. The Royal Visit of H.R.H. the Prince of \Vales to the Borough of Poole enabled all the Divisions in the County to do duty. the distance of route being 10 miles entailing double duty on the part of the members and ambulances. in most instances. Some squads from the Parkstone Division also assisted Bourncmouth in the mornmg of the same day. There were no serious casualties. The Ensbury Park Racecourse, with its various activities, has made considerable work for the Parkstone Di visions. \ eymouth Divisions have a well-equipped Hut on the sands, needing daily attendance for the summer season. and justifies the same, as shown by the great variety and number of cases treated. Every Ambulance Division in the County has a motor ambulance attached to it, and the number of calls dealt with, 317, being an increase of 41 over 1926; the road accidents numbered 33. There were 1,496 cases recorded as receiving first aid during the period under revi ew. V.A .D.-The Annual Inspection Reports of the two .J .V .A.D. were most satisfactory . I beg to thank all ranks in the County for their sustained rrlclent proof of zeal shown in their devotion to the cause which is worthy of the trust placed in them by all classes of Society and not least by myself. I have the honour to b , Sir, Your obedient servant, J. W . \\'lIITE , Capt., ounty om missIOn er. Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem .

COIDIISSIONER. 49, BERNERS STREET, IpSWICH. 4th January, 1928.

To THE ACT! G !!IEF O~lMJSSIONER, ST. JOHN lI1BULANCE BRIGADE. SIR, I ha \ e the honon r to su bmi t my report for this District for the year ending 31st December, 1927. I am very pleased to record that the past year again shows an increase both in personnel and 111 the formation of new Divi ions. 'Ve have had our difficulties as we expect to have them, but I have hopes that time and patience will overcome them in the future as in the past, but at times they are very ·worrying . The ounty ommissioners have been active and it is in a large measure due to their keenness and activIty that ·w e are in the happy position to be able to record accessions to our numbers. In the ounty of Norfolk there has been a recrudescence of interest in the Brigade and I have no hesitation in saying we have in this County, Divisions that are second to none in the I\:1I1gdom, both in efficiency ann keenness. 'Vhere a few years back this large area possessed but one solitary but competent Division, we have now six. I personally have inspected the majority of Divisions and can report that" All is well ". There is still a large area there lying fallow, but I have great hopes that the succeeding year will add to our numbers and if the efficiency of the new Divisions will keep up to the standard of the existing divisions, then we shall have just cause to be proud of our work in this County. The greatest thanks are due to the surgeons for their keenness in instructing the Officers and men, and keeping them abreast of modern methods of dealing with the injured. Motor Ambulances in the County, from reports, are doing an enormous amount of work of the highest order, gratuitously, at the hands of the members of the Brigade. It is a thousand pities that the public do not fully realize this.

E BRIGAD E .

In Suffolk perhaps th e brightest star is focussed in the Iecli al omforts Depol at Ipswich. For your perusal I am enclosing the I eporl of the ssistanl ommlssioner of the County, to whom the g reatest credit is du. Ii has proved itself the greatest boon to the sick poor, and all classes arc beginning lo realize that there th y can hire practically any appliance needed in the sick room for a few pence per week. 1embers of the Brigade freely give their services at stated hours daily, and the publiccan depend on finding someone there to supply their wants. It. is one of the largest boons y et the Order has initiated, at any rate in the bands of the pre ent Staff. The ounty Commissioner, Dr. Eade , is the guiding spirit and the greatest thanks arc due to him as w ell as to his willing and competent assistants. The Ipswich Corps was inspected and the alute was taken by l\1ajor-General Findlayson, who expressed himself as agreeably surprised at the efficiency o[ both the men's and women's detachments who were on parade under their respective Officers. All detachments in the ounty were in pected by the ,\ sslstant ommissioner for the County, who expresses himself as satisfied With discipline, knowledge and equipment of them. Difficulties have ari en during the year resultIng in the re ignation of valued officers, this to my very great regret. I now belteve we are In stlll water again and long may it continue. In Ipswich and other neighbouring to vms we have our m\'n Iotor Ambulances and they cover an enormous amount of miles annually. im'anablv WIth the thanks of those- they carry. - . Essex since the appointment of its own A sistant ommission'r is moving ahea d and here too we can record an increa e of new detachments. The "\sslstanL Commissioner has inspected all Divisions and hi reports on these arc all exc Ilcnt. Hertford has several detachments. all of which I have personally InsJ)('ctcd. Th e remarks I have used to the orfolk contingents apply equally well here. There arc several exceptionally good men's Divisions and one new women·s. I was astOI1\shecl at the efficiency of this division which is but a baby one. but act cl a one would expect old and experienced divisions to do at thel'r first in. peet.ion \\ hen rat.h er severe tests were set. Competitions are held for ups and Trophies all 0\ er the c1istnd. 'ornetim es I think there are too many of these. In my opinion they can b 0\ enlone. nc\ etheless as a means of propaganda and keeping up inter 5t in th work. t.hey arC' us Iul . provided not too many. However, as long as the Division want them they may have them. Men volunteered for Road Patrols, and I ha\ e to re onl that almost frOIll Eppin g Forest in the south. our boundary. to romer III the north the mam road was vcry well covered. Divisions on all sides were hnked up WIth one another ancllhc organiza tion on the main roads was splendid. I am very proud of the splnt of th ' IlWI1 wh o did the work so well. They are deserving of the utmost thanks at the hand of the Brigade, the public and the motoring community. In their r ports to me more than one referred to their presence on the road as havmg a teadymg eff ct on th e driving of the few speed merchants they met.. Cadets fo r the moment are hanging fire. due I think to the sameness of th e teaching. The youths nowadays of both sexes need change and at present t.here IS a sameness of work at their meetings that flavours of school, nev r at. any tIme a favourite with youth. The V.A.D. work is not as far as St. John is concerned as sati factory as I would wish. For some reason the women do not join up in what is really a national need . b ut time I hope will remedy this defect. The Sick Berth Reserve is very good and efficient and the men all show keenness in their work and like it. The H ome Hospital Reserve is difficult on the East Coast. Men fight shy of it for some reason, but even here as the older men pass out a n d the younger join I have h opes that we may find our quota here too. In t he counties comprising this District, I have n o hesitation in informing you that a ll is well and the prospects for the future are right. I d esi re to p lace on record my thanks to all Officers for their help and loyalty in the past year. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedien t servant,

JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE, ST. JOHN'S GATE, CLERKE WELL, E. .1. SIR,

Once again it is my pleasure to report to you that, during the year endmg 31st December last, interest in the Brigade throughout my dlstn t has been well maintained, and that a further increase 1ll membershIp has mam[e ted Itsclf. I am in the fortunate position of being acquainted with eyery m mber in my District, and am able, therefore, to personally testify to the efhclenGY and keenness of those whom it is my privilege to command. It hardly needs me to record that it was a source of gratification to my elf and to all the members of my District to realise that the Bricklayers' Arms Team, representing No. XI District, was again successful in winning the Dewar hallenge Shield. This Shield has now been secured three times by the Bricklayers' rms Team during the past four years, and the success of the team IS proof of th eir consistently good work. The Inter-Railway Shield was also again secured by a Southern Railway Team, and it is worthy of note that this ompany has gamed the premier position in this competition on no less than five occa IOn during the past seven years. I mention this as an evidence of the high standard of efhclency of the Southern Railway Ambulance men. During the past year over 8,000 cases have been reported to me of First Aid rendered by members of the Division under my charge, and in thIS connection I cannot refrain from reference to the unfortunate mishap which occurred at Sevenoaks on the 24th August last, when a number of passengers unfortunately lost their lives, and a large number sustained serious injury. The members of the Sevenoaks Division were promptly on the spot and rendered yeoman service, gaining unstinted praise from the Medical Authorities, the Press and the public generally. It is seldom that members of a Division are called upon to deal with an accident involving injuries of so serious and varied a character, and I am able to assure you that on this occasion the members of the Sevenoaks Division performed work to their everlasting credit and the credit of the Brigade.

DI STRICT.

A very successful review, preceded by a route march, took place at the Royal Military College, amberley, on April 10th, by kind permission of Major-General Corkoran, C.B., .l\I.G., who placed the grounds at our disposal for the purpose. The review was held in conjunction with ITOS. 2 and 8 Districts. There were over 500 men and nurses on parade and mem bers of all ranks acquitted themselves well. I was pleased to be able to once again advance the interest of the Brigade nen volent Funu, and to send you a tangible contribution to it from my men. It IS with regret that I have to record the decease of District Surgeon Halliwell, whose personality and keenness had ende::tred him to all with whom he came into contact. Doctor Halliwell's standard was a high one, and there is not the least doubt that he contributed very largely to any success obtained by my District. His place will be a chfficult one to fill. I can answer lor it thai. the memhers of my District give second place to no one in their loyalty to the Brigade, and I should be sadly wanting if I failed to again record to the memhers of my personal staff, the Officers, .C.O.s and memhers of the vanous Di visions, my great appreciation of their support and devotion to the cause they represent. I h8.ve the honour to he, Sir, Your obedient servant, E. A. RICHARDS, Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John.

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIO ER. 66,

GREAT STRAND STREET, DUBLIN.

3]st Jlarch, 192 SIR ,

I b eg to submit my Report for the year 1927 . . A la rge and increased amount of Public Du~y was undertake~ dunng t!le yea:, including the transport of the invalid" travell1ng on the C<lthol1c Truth Society s and St. Vincent de Paul (Ozanam) Pilgrimages to Lourdes. On the latter fonr memb ers of 1 ursing Divisions accompanied the Pilgrims to Lourdes. ,Duhlln Civic "\Veek a lso brought a considerable amount of extra dnty. Large cont in gents were asked for, as usual, for the Athy 7'=; Mile Motor Race, the" Leinster 100 " and two 25 miles races at the Phoenix Park. The usual duty was undertaken at the Royal Dublin Society's Spring and Horse Shows in l\fay and August. By arrangement with two Dublin Hospitals , Iercer.'s and. t .. Ylf~ cent's,.a num~er of our Ambulance Sistf'rs received a course of practical tralDlDg ID nurSlDg duties such as cannot be given in the class. The members could only attend at" e 'k-ends and they were taken in for a series of six weeks on aturday aft ernoon ancI Sunday morning. "\Ve are deeply indebted to the Hospital tarrs concern c\ for g"1 \,1 ng OUf members this privilege. The Ambulanc e Sisters who ,,'ent to Lourde were selected from amongst those who had received this training. I am particularly pleased to record the a~mirable work carnecl out by ;\Ilss Barrington, the "\i\Telfare Committee and Staff, m that Department wh er xpectant mothers are given a good dinner for two months before and thr e month~ after confinement. If the infant cannot be nursed, its f ecling is regulate(l and assistance given. vVe now find that these poor women, who are often in a starving concll Ion when they come to us, have healthy babies and are able to nurse them. The results a!'e so satisfactory, we have decided to open a second dlDing foom in the Bng,a de Hall, 1\Iiss Barrington taking charge there and 1\lrs. Gilbert 100kl11g a fter the onglnal one at the rear of 40, Ierrion Square. _ Executive Cornmittee.- Iiss Blandford ( hairman), 1\1rs. Howlette, 1\11 s h .ane, Miss Provis, and Secretary.

To the undermentioned we are indebted for contnbut.tons of clothes, vegetables, eggs, etc.; Mrs. J . Law, Mrs. Hopton Scott, 1\1rs. Scott loore, Mrs. R. H. K eatinge. The balance sheet for the year 1927 shows an expendi ture of {, 79 13 . d. .

The Sale held early in December in aid of this Department reahzed a nett sum of £241 , which included about £28 received in subscriptions. The function was opened by Mrs. Sterling, wife of the American Consu l General to the Iri sh Free State. 1 002 cases were dealt with at the First Aid Hut in O'Connell Street. The Hut a t the Football Grounds in the Phoenix Park was open each Saturday and Sund~y from the b egi nning of September, 1926, to the end of 1\1ay, 1927, and reopened. III September, 1927, for the season. The Merrion Strand Hut was again open dunng th e summer months, staffed b y members of the ' ursing Divisions in rotation.

It h as not been found possible to start th e Hut at North W a ll , r eferred to in my last Report , owing to the unwillingness of a number of the employe~s and the me.n s Unions to contribute to the upkeep, and our funds would not per~1llt. of our payl?g the entire expenses, It would seem to be short-sighted of the Shlpp.mg Compames and Merchants not finding the necessary money, as an Ambulance Hubs badly needed at ou r Docks. The" Morris" Ambulance granted us by the Joint Committee is runnin.g satisfactonly. Early in the year some alterations in the springing h.ad to b~ carned out. These considerably improved the car. 33 1 patients were carn ed. dunng the year. The Invalid Requisite Departments at Headquarters (40, MerrlOn Square), Bray and 1 aas, contmucd active. From the Headquarters Depot 452 articles we.re issued, an Increase of 5 over the previous year. At the close of the year 198 articles were out on loan to ll1valids. The fire which occurred in February seriously handicapped the work for a couple of months, as owing to the almost total loss of our requisites 'we were unable to supply many of the things which were needed. The tores Department was also destroyed and suffered under similar disability for some time, Both Departments have been completely rehabilitated. Lady Supenntendent :'.Irs. Rowlette, who has been.in cha~ge of .these Departments and has done invaluable work in them, has had to resign OWll1g to Ill-health. As from the beginmng of 192 , the work has been taken over by Lady Superintendent l\~rs . E. l\ l cGee, of ... aas Tursll1g Division. Members of Bray and Harcourt urslllg Dl\'isions ha e agall1 assisted in th ese ections. ..

H~ announced th.at in future no member of the Garda Siochthana would get the CertIficate of profiCiency unless he was first provided with the St. John Ambulance Association First Aid Certificate. He considered that when members of the Garda had this Certificate they would be more efficient policemen and better fitted to serve the public. At the conclusion of the Inspection I, on behalf of the Grand Prior, presented Insignia of the Order to the following officers who had recently b een promoted and admitted to the Order : Assistant ommissioner A .

Ambulance Officer John Gully-Admitted as erving Brother. Long Servicel\Iedal was prescnted to SergeantF. O 'Brien, City of Dublin Ambulance Division. The usual Courses of First id and Home Tursing Lectures werc held, and also, in accordance with General O'Duffy 's announcement, a number of the Guards have undergone First Aid Training. p to the present 55 men have obtained the ertlficate. So far we have not been able to get the ivic Guards to take the re-examination, but hope that in the near future the uthorities wIll realize the necessity of thi s towards the maintenance of efficiency in First Aid . The St. James's Gate ursing Division \vas registered on 31st March, 1927, with Miss F. M. Mayer as cting Lady Diyisional Superintendent, and Dr. T . C. Fostcr as Acting Divisional Surgeon. \\' e were vcry pleased to see this once actl \ e T ur mg Division reviycd and to know that some of the members of the original Division had joined. A second Ambulance Division was also formed in Guinness' Brewery, comprised of the members of the Fire Brigaele, and was rcgistered 1st October, 1927. The third Session of the School of Instruction for men took placc 10 the Spring, when 60 men qualified for the Certificate, 12 of \\hom wcre recommendcd for promotion. The Commissioner's Medal \Va won by Pnyate J. Bryan, Headquarters Ambulance Division. The School of Instruction for \Vomen 'w as again organized by Lady District Officer Miss Overend, and a yaluable series of Lectures was giYen, as follows : On Milk by Dr. Brian Crichton. On Vermin by Dr. Margaret M. Merrick. On Sanitation and Hygiene by Corps Officer James H \Vebb. On Early Signs of Cancer by DistrIct Surgeon Seton Pringle , F.R S I. On Vitamines by Doctor Fearon, F.T.C.D. On Diseases Arising from Food by Dr. Victor ynge, F.R .P. I. On Public Health Questions by Professor E. J. I{owlette, F R '. P.I. This year the Lectures were open to the public. Tbo e attending the Lectures w ere asked to write Essays, which 'w ere sublmtted to the Lecturer for criticism, and it was found that a high standard was reached . The Ladies' Swimming lub met twice a week at the I"cagh Baths from beginning of May to end of September. Fourteen members qualIfied. for lub olours by swimming 50 yards to the satisfaction of the Instructor. Ther were 0\ er 70 membcrs, with an average attendance of over 70 each night . The lub IS afhhaLecl to the Irish Amateur Swimming Association and the Royal Life SavIng OCI ty. The Pipers' Band had a number of engagements dunng th summer, including taking part in the Industrial Pageant in ivic Week. I ha\e temporarily disbanded this Unit in order to have uniforms and instruments overhauled and pending the appointment of a new Pipe-Major. The high standard of the Irish Ambulance Gazelle was maintained, and the nett cost for the year was £ 15 lIs. 7d. The Brigade Hall continues to be a valuable training centre, and many Brigade Functions-some ofa purely social character and others for the purpose of ralsing funds -are held there during the Session. To meet the requirements of the ity Authorities which have of late become more stringent, certain structural alteraiions had to be carried ou t. The Flag Days which were held early in fay, were organized by District Officer J . P. MacNamara, assisted by a Commi ttee of four District Officers and the Divisional Superintendents. A sum of £838 Is . lId. was realized, made up of Subscripiions £226 19s. , Box Collections £4 76 8s. 6d., and Card Collections £ 134 14s. sel. In conclusion I must once again express my indebtedness to my ever-helpful District Staff, my loyal Officers and hard-working Brigade Secretary. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, JOHN LUMSDEN,

It is most satisfactory to note the rapid development of the Cadet movement in \i\Tales. There are now well over one thousand Cadets attached to the Brigade. The value of the movement, which has now been in operation for five years, as a recruiting ground for the senior ranks is proved beyond doubt, and public authorities are readily advocating its development in the interest of good citizenship. \Vith regard to public duty, post-war apathy has completely disappeared. Officers and rank and file are maintaining the best traditions of the Order with enthusiasm and devotion, and the Brigade is rendering organized public duty daily. In all our towns Ambulance and Nursing member voluntarily attend places of public entertainments, sports, shows, etc. t th ea-side resorts First Aid Tents have been erected, and are op n throughout the summer months for the treatment of cases of accident or injury. 1904 cases received treatment from one of thes holiday tent during the summer of 1927. The cherne initiated by the Brigade for co-operation with the lifeboat crews in rendering aid to the shipwrecked has been well received, and, m very coa tal to\,vn where lifeboats are stationed in Wales, a trained unit i available for such service when required. WeI h members have responded readily to the new call upon their voluntary service made by the Road cherne which has been devised to deal with the increasing possibility of accidents. For some time past the Units of the Brigade in a number of towns have assisted local authorities in providing Road Ambulance boxes, and special Road Cabinets were designed and supplied by the Priory for this purpose. The Object of the new scheme is to link up, with the co-operation of motoring organizations, the existing ambulance stations by First Aid posts, consisting of personnel, equipment, and patrols. One other branch deserving of special mention is the voluntary sick nursing undertaken by the nursing sisters; not only do they attend the voluntary hospitals in many centres, but where there are no district nurses, very big demands are made upon the services of our nursing members, and no such calls have been made in vain. It is pleasing to report that increasing numhers of Brigade units are acquiring permanent Ambulance Halls, which range from a first-class brick building to a wooden hut, and the enterprising officers, members, and friends are to be congratulated on the success which has rewarded their efforts. Thanks are due to the many donors of trophies and prizes for ambulance

competition in the various centres. Cups, shields, and trophies to the value of £1,724 11 . are vested in the Priory Tru tees. During the pa t y ar acupwas pre nted by the Right Hon. Sir AUr dMond, P.c. , M.P., ashi Id by Lady Howard tepney, and a cup by ir Ehys Williams, Bart. , D .. 0. gain, la t year, the Priory was reque ted to organize the Ambulance contests at the Royal National Eisteddfod of Wales, Holyhead, and the Royal Welsh Agricultural how. The great interest centred in the competitions which were the main feature of the two day of the Eisteddfod held in the fir t week of ugu t, was striking evidence of the development of the movement in Wales. The Commissioner for \ Vales was appointed Honorary Director of mbulance, and the tests were prepared by Dr. Jan ille lorris, Mardy. The " Lady Lewis" and "Lady Bute" cup, th national ambulance trophies presented by the Priory for open competition were won by the Kenfig Hill t. John team, and the Liverpool t. John Nursing Team. The inclusion of a Cadet Conte t in the ambulance ection of the Royal Welsh Agricultural how at wan ea in ugu t prov d a ucce ful innovation, and the Abertysswg Cadet team had the honour of being the first winners of the Cadet trophy pre ented by Colon I J. Arnallt ] ones, M.D., K.H.S., V.D. Considerable public interest was taken in the annual \Vel h Railway Ambulance competition organized by the Prior. Thi \va held 111 Cardiff on 5th April, and the "Harry Webb" cup \Va won b the Alexandra Dock, Newport (Great v.. e tern Railway) team. The \ i\Telsh Brigade competitions took place on the 30th .\pril , at Cardiff. This event was the culmination of preliminary te l wluch had been held in all centres to select teams to compete for tll "Llandinam" Shield and the" Arthur Griffiths Memorial" cup, r garlled among ih Welsh Brigade as the blue riband of mbulance work, and ih on equent distinction of representing the I riory in the 1<inal Brigade competitions. This honour was achieved by the ardiff Greal \Ve tern and Cardiff Emergency Nursing Teams. Although not ucce 'ful in bringing to Wales the Dewar" shield, the Cardiff Great \Vestern learn cur d s cond place, and, by obtaining the highest marks in the individual practical section of the test, became the first winners of the new" Trimble" shi Id. The Royal Naval Auxiliary ick B erth Reserve has its full complement of Welsh Members and there is an increasing wailing list. Enrolm nt in the Military Hospitals Reserve has not made so strong an appeal. During 1927 74 volunteers were accepted for admission. Sixty-two Colliery Companies are subscribing to the ervice, and sixty-five Workmen's Lodges at the rate of one penny per man per week. Under this arrangement, 16,050 men, their wives and families, are entitled to the free use of a car at any time of the night or day in case of accident or sickness. During the year 3,902 patients were r emoved in the cars and a total distance of 79,736 miles travelled, an increase on the previous year of 605 cases and 16,105 mileage. The Medical Comforts Depots in Wales have made considerable progress both in numbers and utility. From the thirty-one Depots in operation during 1927, 5,318 articles were issued, an increase of over one thousand on the previous twelve months. f f

The ad t trength of the Brigade Overseas at 31st December, 1927, wa 10 adet Divi ions (8 ambulance and 2 Nursing) with a total mcml er hip of 3 1O. The fourth onference of over eas members was held at St. John's Gate on th 23rd June under the hairmanship of the Chancellor of the Order, ir ylmer Hunter-Weston, K.C.M.G. The gathering was more largely attended than the meeting of the previous year and representative were pre ent from Au tralia, India, New Zealand, and South Africa. t the do e of the meeting the representatives were invited to witne a di play of the film portraying the various activities of the Order. I am glad to be able to report that the number of Service Medals of the Order i ued to members of the Brigade Overseas during the year was 118, an increase of 30 over last year's figures, and the number of Bars was 22, and this was an increase of 8. . The revision of the Statutes and Regulations of the Order made it necessary for the General Regulations of the Brigade Overseas to be again revised. This was accordingly done and copies circulated to all Divisions by the end of the year. e

THE ST .

REPORT OF THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER.

:"vmULANCE BRIGADE OVERSEA .

There is a possibility of an ext nsion of the work of the Brigade Overseas at Kenya Colony and Bermuda wher cla ses of instruction have been held. Inquiries have been made r garding the formation of a Divi ion of the Brigade Over ea in each Colony and there i very po sibility that these units will be registered during the coming year. I would thank tho e Divi.ions which re ponded to my la t year' appeal for ub criptions for the Ophthalmic Ho pital at J erusalem, and would expre s the hope that other will do the sam thi year. Divisions will have heard during the year of the earthquake which caused severe damage to the hospital and th refore will know that th e need for funds is urgent. With regard to the work in each Dominion, I have to report that in :AUSTRALIA. - The w ll-being of th Brigade ha be n maintained in all Districts under the charge of th Chief ommi ion r for Au ~tralia. New Division have been formed in the New outh \Yale and Victoria Districts, and there ha also been an increa e in th 111 mber hip of existing Division : the member hip in the Xew outh \\'a1 Di trict now being close on 1,000. During the year, the "i it of Their Eoyal Highnesses the Duke and Duche s of York gave e, 'eral opportuniti 's fOT the members of the Brigade Over~ a to perform public duty, amon~ which was the occasion of the openin~ of the ommOllW a1th Parliam nt House at Canberra when a specially 1 cted quad \Va ' on duty. CA ADA.-The work in this Dominion remain tead"\' and tll formation of new Divi ions during the year at Timmins, Bridcy'ebura, \\'mnipcg, Edmonton, and Fort Garry would point to progr Ho TG KoxG. - The Divi ions of the Brigade Over 'ea. in the Kong Kong District continu to r nder good en-ice and to increase in ir ~ ngth and efficiency. In view of their g ograpbical po iLion which plaet;: them at a great distance from other unit ' of the Brigade v r'cas, t1w loyalty and devotion of the member and the ffici ncy of their organization deserves much commendation. I desire to exprc..,~ mv thanks to Mr. Ralphs and ~Ir. T. K. Chak, who kmdly pre ~ 'nted to the Order a small Chinese idol. CEYLoN .- During the year Dr. ,Thornton left ylon prior to his retirement and Profe sor F. O'B. Elli on has kindly und rtaken the duties of Acting Assistant Commis ioner. The trength of the cylon Police Corps continues to increase. r'

INDIA.-During the early part of the year Colon 1 edham, the Assistant Commi sioner of the No. 1 Di trict, India, whil on a tour through India consented to in pect Brigad Over ea unit and look into their activities, and was attached to Indian H eadquarter for thi purpose. The results of his visits have proved of the greate t value both to Headquarters at Home and in India. My thanks are due to him for his high interest in the work of the Brigade. The standard of efficiency in all four Districts has been well maintained. Mrs. Lancelot Dent, the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief of the Brigade Oversea, left England in the autumn of 1927 for a tour of in pection of India, and from reports already received it is obvious that her visit is being, and will be, productive of much good in India. T

MALTA.- The standard of work here is being well maintained. NEW ZEALAND. - The work here is progressing well and new D~v~s~ons have been form d in all Districts. Among the e newly formed DlvlslOns is the first adet Division to be formed in )Jew Zealand. One feature has been the development of ambulance work among the railways; many cla"ses have been held and Divi ions of rai1~aymen ~orme.d. at variou place in the Dominion. During the year the mcrease m acbvIt:y of the Wanganui orp has led to the forma!lOn of ~ separate ~angan~ll District which includes Division in the \\ anganul area prevlOusly.m the \Vellington Di trict. There have been . tw.o changes of Supenor Offic rs eluring the year. In the Otago DIstnct Colonel trOl~g has re igned and been ucceeded by "jIajor Borrie., and in the Wellmgton Di 'trict ~Ir. A. O. Ri chard on ha b en appomted to fill the vacancy cau ed by the r ignation of ~Iajor Vine owing ~o. his departure from the Di trict. Public duty \\'a performed on the VISIt of T.n.H. The Duke and Duch ss of York, \vhen, during the variou functions held, there were 8:30 m mber on elut\'. The ,,,,ork of the Brigade O"er eas on the e occa ions was highly com-mended by the civic authorities and others. o TIl .\FIU A.

JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE OVERSEA .

Ac TRALIA.-Dr. T. torie Dixson, th Chief Commissioner for the Brigade Ov r ea within th Commonwealth of Australia (\Vestern Australia excepted) report : In the Ne"\\' South "Wales District the continued progress of the work as outlined in the Assistant Commis ioner's report is Yery gratifying. nfortunately a lack of fund was seyerely felt during the general cle\'elopment and work of the units, but there is reason to expect that this want will be met eluring the ensuing year. Three new Divi ions, and the re uscitation of the Auburn Nursing Division during the year, brought the strength of the Brigade in ::\'ew outh \Vales at 31st December, 1927, up to 922 member, exclusive of two returns not yet to hand. A feature of the work was the representation of units of N" w South \Yales in conjunction with Victoria and South Australia at the opening of the Federal Parliament House by H.R.H. the Duke of York. The humanitarian services rendered by the members in the form of publlc duty reached the striking number of 10,974 cases. At the official opening of the second and more fully equipped Casualty station at Balmoral by me in the presence of the ::'Iinister for Health (Dr. R. Arthur) and the Mayor and Aldermen of the Mosman Council, the warmest thanks were conveyed to the losman Council for this evidence of their keen practical Interest III the work of the Brigade, which has so greatly developed at thiS popular seaside resort. The co-operation of the ew South \V ale Ambulance Transport Ser\'ice Board with the units in 1: .S.\V. during the year has been a source of gratification. The passing of l'Ilajor John Bond whose deep int rest right from the inception of the Brigade in N .S.W. as indicated by his taking charge of the Instruction at the Annual Camps and as an examiner at the yarious hield CompetItions, was sadly felt by those who had known and appreciated the value of hI unselfish work in the interests of the Order. Queensland.-A great deal of work ha been done to place matters on a proper footing preparatory to reforming the Brigade which in the meantime must necessarily remain in abeyance indefinitely. Tasmania.-Endeavours are still being made in Hobart to get the As ociatIon on a better footing so as to resuscitate the Brigade . South Austyalia District.-The strength of the six Diyisions enumerated by the Assistant Commissioner in his Annual Report was 172 at 31st December, 1927, and it is gratifying to find that interest and efficiency of the members have been well maintained. The financial assistance in the forms of Totalizator Fractions and the handsome trophies from the racing clubs are features In l'I1r. Hussey 's report which call for the warmest appreciation of those generous gifts, the value of which 10 the mall1tenance of the work cannot be too fully recognized. These results, consHlenng the vast area and the scarcity of the populatIOn in general, indicate most paJl1staking and vigorous efforts on the part of l'Ifr. Hussey, the Assistant ommls lOner. Victoria District.-No great progress can be reported in this District, but It is felt that during the coming year the numbers wIll increase as arrangement are being made for the appointment of a staff officer who has experience and time to devote to the working up of the various Divisions and the inauguration of the new ones.

CANADA.-Dr. C. J. Copp, on behalf of ir Henry V. j1i11 Pellatt, Chief Commissioner for the Brigade Oversea within th Dominion of Canada, reports : C.V.O.,

The year has been a most encouraging one, for progress has been made b)' the formation of four new Divisions and the membership increased from 749 (in 1926) to 853. The new or reorganized Divisions arc Bridgeburg, \\,innipeg Central, Edmonton Central ursing, and Fort Garry. The annual reports furnished by the Corps and Divisions show that the number of public duties attended is most satisfactory and totalling 2,830. The number of cases of First Aid attended on public duty is 2,564, and those attended not on public duty total 4,084 . This shows marked progress and should stimulate every officer and member in the performance of such an important duty. The annual Church Parades were all well attended on the Sunday nearest 24th June when special sermons were preached at which the high ideals of the Order were

placed before our members and the General Public, which greatly helped the former to " carryon" the work with renewed zeal. The establishment of the Divisions at 31st December, 1927, was 15 Nursing Divisions, 14 Ambulance Divisions, and 1 Cadet Ambulance Di vision. In my annual inspection of the Ambulance and ~ ursing Di visions I was particularly impressed with the marked improvement in the efficiency shown by members of both ambulance and nursing Divisions in ambulance and nursing ability. I was also greatly impressed with the spirit of loyalty on the part of all members of the Order and their deSire to live up to its high traditions. In the District of Alberta members of the Calgary Central )/ursing Division and Edmonton ursing Division organized e1unng the war, agreed to reorganize, carrying the original name and numbers of the )/ursing Divisions in those cities, and I have e\'ery reason to believe that the work accomplished by the members will b \.\'orthy of their endeavour. In th District of :'Ianitoba, the city of \\'lOlllpeg bears the distinction of having a larger enrolment of members than any other city in Canada, and the reorganization of the Fort Garn' DIvIsions and the organization of the \Vinnipeg Central Division should give ample opportunity for the enrolment of many more members in the Corps, In the DI trict of Ontario a new Di\.ision of employees of the C.X.R. has been orgalllzeu lO Bridgeburg with e,"ery promIse of success. Opportunities for public duty are available and the work is proceeding fairly well for so young an organization. During th ' year Lady Superintendent Elizabeth Franklin of the Finsbury Kursing J 1\'lslon of th e Hom e Brigade paid an unofficial visit to anada.

I);,DIA.-Major-General T, H. ymon, on behalf of ir Henry Moncrieff mith, Chief Commi ioner for the Brigade O\'ersea within the Empire of India, reports : The last vear has seen a further advancemcnt in our acti\.ltIes. This continued progress definitely indicates that the lull \\'h1ch follo\\'ed th cxtra. drain upon the resources and energies of our workers during th fcw exceptional year prcced1l1g 1924, of which references were made in previous report, has now dcfinltely pa. sed, and that sure signs of mobilization of cfforts to raisc the "alue and \'olume of the work of this important branch of the Order are now visible in various directions. The year under report has been marked by a great harmony among all rank, and I take this opportunity to thank the vanous DIstrict ofliccrs whosc cfforts have brought about this happy result. The atmo ph ere of goodwill and mutual understanding which was created has had thc ine\'! table rc u It of an cxtenslOn of activities and no less than 5 more Di\.'i ions camc into bCl!1g last ycar and s ycral others were in the process of formation when the year clo ed. This rcport therefore records details of worklll g of thirty-eight Ambulanc Divisions, two Ambulance Cadet Diyisions, four ~ 'ur ing Divisions, and on' _'ur ing Cadet Division. The following paragraphs record the dlstribu tion of thcsc Dt\. iSlOns between the four Districts and their actiyities. No.1 Dislricl.-The number of Divisions 111 thIs District w rc ft\. e, namcly, the three ambulance Diyisions connected with the Xorth \\'est Ralh\'ay, onc ambulance Division in Simla and one :Xursing Division \\'Ith scctIons at Lahore and Dclhi and headquarters at Simla. The DIstrict \\ as visited by :'lr<;. Lancelot Dent, A.R.R.C., Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, St. john Ambulancc Brigade Ovcrseas. Mrs. Dent gave a public lecture on the nursing work of the t. john .\mbulance Brigade which was attended by members of the _'urslng Di\.') Ion as wcll as the general public. Before the commencement of the lecture :'lr . Dcnt III pected the ursing Division. The members of this Division have shown great kecnness in their work and great credit for the efficient and active state of the D)\ Ision is due to Mrs. Battye, Lady District Superintendent. The. Torth-vVestern Railway Indian Division completed its fourth year of existence on 31st March, 1927. At the last Eumbh Fair held at Hardwar ( entral Pro\'inces) during April, 1927, a squad of this Division was on ambulance duty at Ehanalampura and Saharanpur and rendered very valuable assistance. Two squads of the Di\"ision were on duty in L ahore City for about 10 days during and after the riots of :;\lay, 1927, under the charge of :M ajor A. T. Hughes, 1.:;\1.S., and Raizada Lak hml Tarain Vaid, and rendered good service in aiding and removing inj ureel persons. Three t eams from this Division appeared in the All-India Ambulance ompetitions held at Ajmer in February, 1927 , They did extremely well and won both the Brigade and Educational Shields for the second year in succession and obtained second place in the Labour Shield. The efficient and active state of the Division is due to the interest and personality of Raizada Lakshmi Narain Vaid, the Divisional Superintendent. The Carriage and Wagon Division has continued its activities throughout the year under its Divisional Superintendent, Mr. Baxter. The members of this Division rendered first aid to about 3,000 cases.

R EPORTS F R OM D OM I NION ,

T.he records of the Locomotive Division were, it is regretted, not properly kept dU:l1lg the past year, and ~he. returns are not aval.la~le for submission. Steps are bemg taken to put the affans lfl proper order, and It IS hoped that an improvement In the situation will soon take place. The returns of the Simla Ambulance Division, which was r evived last year and the serviccs of whose members are always mu ch appreciated in connection' with the local Durand Football Tournament, have not yet been received and will be forwarded on recei pt. ' . ]1.'0. 2 Dislricl.-This District possessed the largest number of units, namelv 15 ambulance, 1 ambulance Cadet, and 2 nursing DIvi sions with a total of 563 members includIng officers. The 13th (Xorth Calcutta) am bulance Division and a Cadet ])IV;SlOn attached to the 12th ( cottish Churches College) Division were formed clunng the ycar undcr report. ThIS District has taken an active part in connection WIth the public festivals, and .during cholera and other epidem ics. About 2,000 cases wcre rendcred first. aId and other assIstance. Reports received from the Public Health Department ::'Ilunicipalitics, District Boards, etc. , do great credit to th members of the various DivislOns who w"re detailed for public dutv. Th· vanous ambulance Divi ions were inspected half-yearly by - the District Supennt.endent. During these insp('ctions both officers and men \\'ere put through stretcher tlnlls and first aid exerclscs. The Dist.rict was lflspccted by :;\Irs, Lancelot Dent, A.R.R.C., on 3rd December, 1927.

The Parsi ambulance DI\'i_ion has now completed 24 years of its existence and it proFoses to cclcl1rate its jubilee next y ar which will be a unique e\'ent in the hist.ory of the Brigade On:r eas within the Empire of India . The members were as in previous years, called upon to perform public duty, the members of the Parsi Di\'ision alone going out on no less than 20 occasions. These occasions were furnished by a vanety of c\'(:nt , in~luding the viSIt of their Majesties the King and Queen of Afghal11stan . . ports, falr , baby and health weeks, et c. This is evidence of the ~ecognit!on WI11Ch the public are now Showlllg to the actiyities of the Brigade. It IS llltcrcstlllg to record a an example of the keenness of the members in their work that a :quad of the Hindu . . S.L. Divisio~ placed their services at the disposai of the humbh Thlcla authonbes at Harclwar 111 the nited Provinces. About 410 cases of accidents and sudden illness were reported to have been treat d by the arious Divisions within the District. The most important of the cases reportcd to ha\'e been attended was one bv the members of the Parsi Division at Bhore Ghau~, Ehandala, where the Division 'was having its camp of Instruction.

During the year the Bombay Corps was inspected by His Excellency II' LeslIe ' iVilson, Governor of Bombay, \\ith Colonel R . A . Xeedham, C.I.E., n.s .o. , who was specially deputed by St. John 's Gate Headquarters, on 24th February, 1927 . HIs Excellency presented en'i ce }Iedal and Bars of the Order to theIr recipIents and eulogized the sen'ices of th e Corp. olone! X eedham also expresseJ. his satisfaction at the way th e members of the orps discharged them eln's. The most important event of the year was the inspection on 16th Xovember, 1927, by l\Irs . Lancelot D ent, A.R.R.C., Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, St. J ohl1 Ambulance Brigade Over eas, who 'w as mu ch impres ed With the large number of members and Service Medal holders on parade and called It a " wonderful organlza tion ". She conveyed a message of goodwill from London H eadquarter . Thl~ is the second occasion when an official of the Brigade O\'erseas Headquarters inspected the Corps, the first inspection being by Hi Royal HIghness The Duke of Connaught, The Grand Prior of th e Yenerable Order of the HospItal of 1.. John of J erusalem, in 1921. }.,TO. 4 Distl'ict . -At the uggestion of olonel H. A. :\eedham, the old name of the "l\Iadras Ambulance orp" wa changed mto " t John .\m hulance 'orps, l\Iadras ".

Viscount Goschen on 19th Februan' 1927 . There were therefore eirrhl c Ambulance Divisions in the St. John Ambt;l'ance Corps, ;\Iadras, at the cnd of 19~7. The two new Division have not yet been formally regIstered and step::; art' bemg taken to submit the necessary documents for thi purpose . During the year, the orps held 3-1 parades and two in pections and treated 997 cases of accidents and sudden illnes . Its member were also on dul\' at tll loc,ll football and hockey tournaments and sport of the ;,Iadra ollege -and Schoob Athletic Association, and sea bathing festn·al. The sen'lCe of the orps were a~ usual requisitioned during several other public occasIOn. !Jke lhe Health ancl Bab\" v:-eek, The Park Fair Sports Exhibition, The Indian Xational 'o ngres and Exhlblhon, and on everyone of these occasIOns the members satisfactorih' acquitted themselves. . . The.above is a brief description of what the St. John Ambulance Brigade O\'ersea III IndIa has been able to.achle\'e, and I hope that a comparati\'c, tudy of th reports of the last few years wIll show that fresh fields are graduallv coming WIthin the operations of this organization. With the exception of the Xo. 1 District, where Dr. J airns, O.B.E., r placed Colonel Needham, C.l.E., D .S. O . , as As Istant ComlTIlssioner, all the other three Districts have .been in charge of the same officers: and I repeat th acknowleclgments I made III my last report to the manner III which they managed the affair' of their Districts. Dr. Cairns, who made his mark as Honoran' 'ecretary of the Bom~ay Provincial Branch of the Association, has already' brought hI. \\'Ide experIence, knowledge, and keenness to bear upon the activities of the TO. 1 Dlstnct, and we hope that very soon this District will be strengthened by thc addition of a number of n ew Ambulance and Tursing Divisions. The outstanding event of the year was the official visit of 1\1r . Lancelot Dent, A.R.R.C. R eferences already made in this report show the regard with \-\-hlch she was welcomed wherever she went. Her profound interest in the work of the Order of S~. John and its I?epartme~ts was manifest to all who had the OppOrtUlllty of meetlllg her and her VISit to India has given a great sttmulus to the cause of the Order in this co untry.

NEW ZEALA TD .-Lieut.-Colonel G.

The membership has increased from 996 to 1,40 , while 13 new Divisions have been formed. The annual reports furnished by Corps and Divisions show that the number of public services have made a satisfactory advance, being 21,629 against 16,139 for

the preceding year. The number of cases of " First Aid attended to on Public Duty" was 10, 192 against 7,937 for the previous year and 4,477 for 1925. The number of cases of First Aid not on Public Duty " was 10,075, the figures for 1926 being 6,2 4 and for 1925 3,603 .

Ambulance .Competitions were .held at Auckland, Wanganui, V,Te11ington , ~Iasterton, hnstchurch, and Dunedlll. The entries were numerous and altogether there was a keen Interest manifested in the various contests. As mentioned III my last annual report the New Zealand Government Railways Department has now instituted instruction in ambulance training for the members of the staff. lasses have been held under t. John at all the larger centres and were numerously attended. As a result 10 railway Divisions have been formed while several others are in contemplation. ' The year 1927 saw the first Cadet Division (an ambulance one) organized in the Dominion. To 'Yanganui belongs the credit of this new departure, and it is hoped that ~e£ore long other Cadet Divisions, both Ambulance and ursing, will be establIshed. Church Parades were held at th e various centres during the year, and were well attended by members of the Brigade. Excellent service was rendered by th e Brigade during the visit of their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of York to ew Zealand. 30 members (301 men and 529 women) were on duty at the various functions which were held; 611 cases of first aid were treated and 16 r emovals carried out.

Ambulance stations have been erected at \Yanganui and Invercargill, and will fill a much felt want, and give an impetus to the work of St. John in both these towns. I had the pleasure of paying a visit to \Vanganui during the year, and inspected the local Divisions. There was an excellent muster, all members were well turned out, and the work carried out was of a very high standard. In the uckland District the BriO'ade is acting in conjunction with the uckland Automobile Association in the establishment of ambulance stations v:hich are being provided in connection 'with the road patrol scheme which the utomoblle Association is now inaugurating in the District named.

Ho Kom Tong, HIS Excellcncy the Goyernor sald : I am glad that the duty devolves upon me of inyestIng you WIth the Insignia of Officer of the :\Iost Excellent Order of the Bntish Empire: for there is no one who has been more generous than you in his benefactions to IIong Kong or has given in a better spirit. You have always in the cause of charity and public service, given all you could without reckoni'ng on any recompense. Your example is, and will be, an encouragement to the HonO' Kong hinese to observe the precept, ' Give all thou canst! High Heaven reject~ the lore of nicely calculated balance loss or more!' It is a special pleasure to me as a confrere of yours in the Venerable Order of St. John of J erusalem to commend the valuable services rendered by you to the ambulance brigade in this Colony. I congratulate you warmly upon the honour which His l\Iajesty the King has conferred upon you."
