THE CHAPTER-GENERAL has the honour to submit to the Members and Associates its Report for the year 1928 . A NUAL SERVICE AND GE ERAL ASSEMBLY. St. John the Baptist's Day falling on a Sunday, the Festival of St. John was held on 2.jth June in the Grand Priory Church, Clerkenwell. Holy Communion wa celebrated in the Chapel of St. John the Almoner, in the ancient crypt, by the Rector, the Rev. T. C. Elsdon, at 8 a.m. The Annual Commemoration ervice was held at 3 p.m., H.R.H. the Grand Prior and the Chapter-General, headed by the Choir of His Maje ty's Chapels Royal and the Clergy, walking in procession from the Chancery at t. John's Gate to the Church. A crowded congregation included H.l .H. Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll (who also attended the General s embly). The service was conducted by the Rector, the Archdeacon of London read the Lessons, and the sermon was preached by the Dean of \Ye tmin ter. The nnual General As embly of Members and Associates of the Order was held after the ervice. in the Chapter Hall at St. John's Gate, H.H.. H. the Grand Prior pre iding. The following Knights of Ju tice were received by H.R.H. The Grand Prior in accordance with ancient custom : Lieut.-Colonel Claude Bowes Palmer, c. B.E. Lieut.-Colonel John Thomas \Voolrych Perowne. ir pencer Harcourt Butler, G.C.S.L, G.C.LE. T.he Grand Prior also invested with their badges, the Hon. Lady CecIl, C.B.E., and usan Duchess of omerset, on their promotion to the grade of Dame Grand Cross. The ub-Prior, in the name of the Chapter-General, asked H.R.H. the Grand Prior to accept the Book of Remembrance containing the r:ame~ of the members of the Order and its Foundations who gave their lIves m the Great VVar, 1914- 1918. The Grand Prior, in accepting the Book of Remembrance, said :-" iy Lord Sub-Prior,-I receive this Record. of faithful service which on behalf of Chapter-General you have placed m my hands. I ordain that it shall be preserved in this Chapter Hall where all may see it. May it always be held in honoured remembrance of duty nobly done. and as an inspiration to all of our Order in this and fut~re ~enerations to faithfully uphold that spirit of service to humanity whl~h IS the fOl?-ndation and guiding principle of all our activities." . HIS Royal Hlghn~ then placed the Book in the casket of ebony and silver whIch had been prepared for its reception. The Secretary-General read the Reports for the past year of the Se~retary-Ge?e~al, the Director of the Ambulance Department, and the ChIef ComrrnsslOner of the St. John Ambulance Brigade.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL.

PROMOTIONS, ADMISSIONS, ETC.

The Hospitaller reported on the work of the Ophthalmic Hospital at Jerusalem. The Librarian described briefly the various acquisitions by the Library and Museum by gift and purchase during the year. The Sub-Prior proposed a vote of thanks to the Grand Prior for presiding, and expressed the deep appreciation of Chapter-General for the great personal interest which His Royal Highne s for so many years had taken in the work of the Order and for the honour which he had conferred on the Assembly by his presence. The vote of thanks was carried with acclamation.

which has just been executed by Mr. Dingli, a member of the Order, for our Chapter Hall, and I should like to congratulate the artist on the very successful accomplishment of his task. (( I should like to mention to those members who were not present at th~ Inspection of the Prince of \Vales's District of the St. John Ambulance Bngade on the 9th June that at the conclusion of the Inspection I issued an Order expressing my great satisfaction at the appearance both of the Ambulance men and of the Nursing Sisters, as well as the Cadets who w.ere present. Over three thousand men and three hundred Nursing SIsters wer~ on parade, and when we think that they were merely the representatIves of the fifty thousand members who exist throughout the country, and that all their services are given voluntarily, we may, I am sure, congratulate ourselves on this wonderful organization the t. John Ambulance Brigade. ' (( I thank the members of the Order for their presence here to-day, a~d I am very glad to see so many associating themselves more and more wlth the Order which, I am sure, is doing so much for the good of humanity th~?ughout th~ len!5th and breadth of the country. In conclUSIOn, It only remains for me to express our grateful thanks to the Dean of Westminster for his sermon and to our Chaplain for the conduct of our Commemoration Service."

In replying, the Grand Prior said : " You have listened with interest to the reports of our work which cover the period since I addressed you on t. John's Day la t year, and which are most encouraging. " The King has once again marked his per onal intere t in our Order by holding a special Investiture of the newly created Grand Cro ses at Buckingham Palace in July last. "I am pleased to note that the wish frequently expres ed by our brethren from overseas that representatives from the Order at home should visit them is being complied with. ~1rs. Den t, Lady uperintendent-in-Chief of the Nursing Corps and Divisions of the Brigade Overseas, set a splendid example by undertaking to tour Canada, and she and her husband followed this up by a visit to India la t winter, and they are now engaged on a tour of inspection in South frica. Thi General Assembly will, I am ure, appreciate the very considerable sacrifice of time and money involved in these long journey, which have been voluntarily undertaken in the true spirit of our Order. It is gratifying to learn that our Bailiff of Egle, a Knight and Dame. of Justice, and a Dame of Grace, have volunteered to form a DelegatIon to Australia and New Zealand, and hope to sail this autumn. I believe there is a real affection and veneration for the Gate on the part of our overseas members, and visits such as these cannot fail to cement the tie. "The Ambulance Association and the Brigade appear to have had an active and successful year. " I heartily congratulate the Association in having been able, through the generosity of Dr. Pim, to bring together the whole police force in England, Wales, and the Isle of Man to compete in a National Police First Aid Competition. In these days there can be no doubt that a First Aid certificate should be an essential part of a constable's equipment, and equally there can be no doubt that our Ambulance Association is the Body which should help him to obtain it. . " I am pleased to know that the Ambulance Brigade and its Cadet Divisions continue to increase in numbers, and that local authorities are giving increased assistance and encouragement to its work. The more the nature of that work is known, the more widespread will be the support given to it, and in that connection I would add that the Brigade has been given valuable help by a member of the Order who has made and presented a film of its activities, which has been shown with great success throughout the country and a copy of which will accompany the Delegation to Australia this winter. "I desire to call attention to the portrait of our Sovereign Head 4

LIFE-SAVING AWARDS. Awards for gallantry in saving or attempting to save life on land have been made by the Chapter-General to the following persons, who endangered their own lives on behalf of their fellows : AWARDED THE LIFE-SAVING MEDAL IN BRONZE. William Robert son, Underground Overman. On 22nd March 1927 at the Gatewen Colliery, Wrexham, John Thornton, Charles Jackson, J ~hn Le~is Thomas, and others, were engaged in r.ipping the r?of and resetting timber on the main haulage road. Suddenly and wlth<?ut warmng the timber and roof collapsed, completely burying Thornton and trappmg Jackson and Thomas. William Robertson, an overman, released Jackson and Thomas by building timber over them, and drawing away the stones which held them fast,

although while doing so more bad roof kept falling around him. He then managed to rescue Thornton by creeping under the middle of the fall (at least 30 tons in weight) and removing small dirt and stones which held him fast. Robertson took his life in his hands, incurring the danger of being crushed and suffocated; three minutes after he had rescued Thornton the roof collapsed entirely.

AWARDED THE LIFE-SAVING MEDAL IN BRONZE. \Vilfred Lawrence, tin miner. On 3rd Kovember, 1927, at the South Crofty Mine, Cornwall, a gang of men were engaged under ground in removing some loose soil when a piece of rock 24 ft. long by 6 it. wide, and weighing abou t a ton, fell from the roof of the gallery and crushed both legs below the knees of a man named Martin. Lawrence came on the scene immediately after the fall, and proceeded to reach with his arms under the rock in order to disengage and remove some loose pieces which were wedged against Martin's legs by the rock. To enable him to do this a chain and block tackle was rigged on to a precarious portion of the roo£. The rock was thus raised a few inches. Lawrence \\ orked for two hours lying on his stomach partly under the suspended rock, well knowing that at any minute the tackle might give way and that he would be crushed. His efforts resulted in releasing :Martin, who, however, subsequently died.

AWARDED THE LIFE-SAVING MEDAL I Archibald Burton, miner.

BRONZE.

On 12th Kovember, 1927, at Burley Pit, Apedale, Staffordshire, a fall of roof occurred which pinned down Collier J. Gleaves by the feet. The place was in darkness and Gleaves called to Burton, who groped his way to the place and began to collect timber and material with which to build a covering over Gleaves. \\,hile the work was proceeding, both men could hear the roof cracking. In a short time a further fall occurred, burying Gleaves up to the hips, but the covering built by Burton protected IllS chest and head. This second fall occurred while Burton was away looking for tuuber. On returning he again proceeded to build up the covering over Gleaves and, with the help of Collier :i\1oss, to try to liberate him. They had almost achieved this when a third fall took place which buried Gleaves completely. No further fall occurred after this, and Gleaves was subsequently rescued.

A\V ARDED THE LIFE-SAVING MEDAL II BRONZE. Lewis Noble and John Vernon, stallmen. AWARDED CERTIFICATES OF HO OUR. J ames Edwards, manager, and \\Talter Bourne, under-manager. On 2nd February, 192 , \Y. Bramley, a stallman, was working in the l\Iain Roaster Seam of the Ellistown Colliery, Leicester. He was about to withdraw a prop, and as the prop was tight, started to cut away the roof coal around the lid, his mate, Lewis ~ 0 ble, st.andlllg near. A few blows had been s truck when the roof suddenly collapsed, dlschargmg several props and completely burying Bramley. Noble fortunately escaped . Help was immediately available, and the manager, l\1r. J. Edwards, an? under-manager, l\Ir. \V. Bourne, who were in the district at the time, were qUlckly on the spot and took charge of the operations. The fall was estimated at about 30 tons. It was found that Bramley's head and shoulders were under a large stone, roughly 4 ft. 6 in. by 2 ft. 6in. "by 15 in . thick, which was resting at one side on a partly built gob pack and at the other on small coal and stone; the fact of this stone being supported on the pack probably saved the man from death. A space was cleared under this large stone and small material removed from the man's face and head so as to enable him to breathe more freely, and the stone was t~en supported by a s~ort prop to prevent it lowering and pressing further upon h~m. Th.e fallen matenal on top of this stone was then removed, including a large pIece which was pressing upon his lower ribs and interfering with his breathing. This had only just been done when a second fall of about 10-15 tons occurred over the same area as the first, which again completely buried the man. Bramley stated l. h at but f?X the removal of the piece which was pressing on his ribs, and the large "ton.e havmg been secured, he must certainly have been killed by the second fall, and m any event he never expected again to be released . It took about half-an-hour

HONOURS CONFERRED BY THE KING.

to again free the imprisoned man's head and remove the material from over the large stone, which stone was found to have been pressed down several inches by the second fall. It was then found necessary to lift the big stone to get to the man's buttock and legs, one of his legs, which was out-stretched, being tightly fastened under the thickest part of the fall. To liberate this leg and foot occupied a further half hour, and to accomplish it a road had to b e burrowed under the fall and piece by piece removed by hand. The foot could only be freed by scraping away the small material around it by means of a pick blade, which was done by Lewis oble, his arms (and probably his head at times) being under the edge of the fall. After a little over two hours ' work the imprisoned man was rescued, suffering severely from shock and many bruises but fortunately without any serious injury. While the work of rescue was in progress both before and after the second fall the place was " working", and small pieces fell from the roof and sides, one man being struck by a piece which fell just prior to the second large fall. ·W arning of the second fall was given, and the men stood back until it came, but work was resumed without delay. Noble and Vernon took the chief part in the danger zone, wit.h the manager and under-manager prominently assisting and directing.

AWARDED A CERTIFICATE OF HONOUR.

AWARDED THE LIFE-SAVING MEDAL IN BRONZE. Leslie Edward Henry Thorn, schoolboy, age 12. On 28th April, 1928, whilst Leonard 'Vest (age 4) was playing with other children in a field adjoining the permanent way of the electrified Southern Railway, at Norbiton, he got through the wire fencing, climbed up the bank, which is 3 or -1 ft. above the level of the field and got on to the rails. He then came in contact with the conductor rail, which carried a voltage of 640, and received severe burns t.o his groin and face, from which he died on the 30th April. Leslie Thorn was in the field at the same time and, hearing a scream, he immediately ran to t.he railway, where he saw smoke arising. Climbing over the wire fence, he snatched the clllid from off the conductor rail. The danger to Thorn of receiving injury through burns was very great. He felt a shock through his arms, but no III eIIects followed.

AWARDED THE LIFE-SAVI G MEDAL IN BRO. ZE. Petty Officer Daniel Patrick O'Connor. AWARDED A CERTIFICATE OF IIO OUR. Signalman Arthur Heartie Bennett. On 17th June, 1928, Miss Hilda Thewlis, age 27, fell from the top of the chffs at Breil Point, Flamborough, to the rocks, 200 feet below, recelvll1g senous injuries. Shortly afterwards Ernest Thewlis went to the aval Signal Station and said his sister had fall en from the cliffs. Petty Officer O'Connor, with t.hree of hiS men, immediately went back with him with all the available ropes they had. O'Connor was lowered to the beach, which at this part is strewn with huge rocks and boulders, and he had great difficulty in locating Miss Thewlis. He eventually found her, one of her arms being pinned by a large boulder, which he could not move. lIe signalled for assistance, and Bennett was lowered to the b each. vVith an eiIort they moved the boulder, and carried the lady (who was still alive) to as comfortable a position as possible. Meanwhile those at the top of the cliff procured a " sheep bar", and this "vas lowered to the beach and used as an improvised stretcher. The tide was flowing rapidly, and there was a great risk that O'Connor and Bennett would be swept off their feet. The rocks were slimy and wet, making their work exceedingly difficult. Miss Thewlis was secured to the stretcher, which was then hauled up the face of the cliff, but half way up it jammed against an overhanging rock, and could not be hauled any further. In order to avoid b eing washed away by the incoming water, O'Connor and Bennett had to scale the cliffs for a short distance, and from there they signalled for more rope. They were informed that more rope was not available, but that the Live-Saving Apparatus Company's lines had b een sent for. As considerable time elapsed before the arrival of the rope they decided to climb the rope attached to the bottom of the stretcher, which had b een used to guide the injured girl up the cliffs, and this they did. O'Connor then r eturned down the cliff on a hawser, which had arrived in the meantime, and succeeded in freeing the stretcher. The girl was then drawn to the cliff top, but was found to b e dead.

Fred Beer, foreman, Post Office Engineering Department. On 12th October, 1927, Mr. H. Sloman was working on the second arm of a 40 -foot pole in the main street at Honiton. While moving his position to another arm he slipped and fell. His coat caught against a step about 12 ft. from the top of the pole, but the coat tore and the fall was only slightly imp~ded. From the step to the ground line is approximately 22 ft. Mr. Beer, who IS an o ffi~er of abnorI?-al strength and very broadly built, rushed forward and caught the weight of the falllI~g man between his shoulder blades. The force of the impact brought Mr. Beer to his left knee. Mr. Beer stated that beyond a feeling of soreness across the shoulders and a slight abrasion to his knee he did not afterwards feel any ill-effect, and he remained on duty. The weight of Mr. Sloman is approximately 12 stone. The pole stands on rough cobbled ground, and but for the fine physique, prompt action, and correct timing of the 20-ft. fall by Mr. Beer, there is little doubt but that a fat~l accident would have r esulted . The minor injuries r eceived by Mr. Sloman to hIS foot may, in the circumstances, be considered negligible.

AWARDED A CERTIFICATE OF HONOUR. Laurence Keating, Civic Guard, Dublin. On 14th larch, 1928, while Keating was on traffic duty at Clare Street Crossing, Dublin, he saw a horse yoked to a cart galloping furiously towards him from Upper Merrion Street. On hearing the shouts of the driver, Keating left his crossing, ran to meet the horse, and succeeded in catching hold of the reins (which had br~ken) but was unable to bring the horse to a standstill. H e was dragged along the carrIageway for 150 yards, and then, b eing satisfied that it was useless to endeavour to stop the horse, he decided to change its course and if possible turn it into a cul-de-sac off Lower ?lIerrion Street, b eside Merrion Hall. This he eventually succeeded in doing.

AWARDED A CERTIFICATE OF HO OUR. Harry Parry and Thomas Ford, colliery repairers. On 26th July, 1928, in o. 1 District International CoHiery (Blaengarw, Glam.) Daniel Syphus was buried under a fall of roof. Harry Parry and Thomas Ford hurried to the spot and found Syphus buried under about 50 tons of debris, with a large stone and some broken timber protecting him from serious injury. The smaller rubbish, however, was slowly suffocating him, and but for the action of Parry and Ford in releasing Syphus' head and, further, in protecting it with their bodies until help came, he would have lost his life. Whilst Ford was engaged in clearing the rubbish off Syphus' head, Parry placed his back against a big piece of the side which threatened to give way, thus giving Ford a better chance to work. Both men were exposed to great danger from the imminence of a further large fall, and from stones which continually fell while they were at work, causing cuts to the h ead, shoulders, arms, and hands. Syphus was taken out from under the fall with the assistance of the Manager and other officials. H e was suffering from shock and had some bad cuts and bruises, and was conveyed home on a stretcher.

Hall over the mantle-piece. The Order possesses three other important works by the same artist, namely portraits of the present Grand Prior and of Sir Thomas Docwra, the Grand Prior who built the existing gateway in 1504, and the picture of the Investiture at l\Ialta during the Pilgrimage of 1926. A series of enlarged photographs of the retired Librarians of the Order has now been hung on the walls of the Library, but we have been unable to obtain a photograph of Captain Harry Blair, Knight of Grace, who was Librarian from 1875-6. It would be greatly appreciated if some member of t he Order could furnish a photograph and so complete the series. We have to report the forthcoming publication of a book of considerab~e interest to our Order, written by the learned Librarian of the PublIc Library at Valletta, Mr. H. P. Scicluna, a Commander of our own Order and a Knight of Grace of the overeign Order. The title of the work, which will be published in Malta, is The Knights of 111 alta and the Palace of the Grand Masters in Valletta. The fir t part ,vill be historical, with special reference to the Navy of the Order. The econd part will consist of a detailed description of the Grand laster's Palace, including the Armoury and the Tapestry Chamber. The book will have 300 pages, with numerous illustrations, and is to be published at lOs. We have been so fortunate as to secure for our frIu eum on emipermanent loan from the Tower of London Armoury certain armour and weapons from Rhodes and Malta. For this we are greatly indebted to the kindness of its Curator, Major C. J. ffoulkes, O.B.E., F. . ., an Officer of our Order. The items are as follows : (1) A 1orion beautifully engraved with trophies and scroll-work. (2) A Breastplate having engraved on it a twisted cord from which hangs the eight-pointed cross of our Order: near to the top are engraved two medallions representing the Annunciation, one bearing an ngel and the other a kneeling Virgin. Both these pieces are of North Italian workmanship dating from the early part of the sixteenth century; they formed part of a larg consignment of armour brought from Malta by the British Government in 1826. (3) A Breastplate and Backplate of the late fifte nth century, being part of a large collection of armour brought from the castle of Rhodes by General Lefroy in 1866 to the Rotunda Museum, Woolwich, and removed to the Tower of London in 1928. (4) A Trifid Spear with notched wings, length of blade 20 inches, from Malta. (5) A Halberd, blade 9i inches long, spike four-sided 13 inches long, total length from point to base 20 inches; from' Rhodes. The past year, as usual, has seen many additions to the Order's Library and Museum. Amongst the more interesting purchases are :(1) An important Incunabula, the first edition of Caoursin's Obsidionis Rhodiae urbis descriptio, printed in Venice in 1480, the same year as the siege. (2) Several of the exceedingly rare News Sheets published in Malta. These little pamphlets, consisting usually of only four or six pages very roughly printed, were issued on the occasion of sufficiently important events, generally sea-fights with the Turks or the Barbary Corsairs. The earliest of them give contemporary accounts of the siege of Malta

in 1565, and they continued to be published until late in the. eighteenth century. They are in various languages, and from very vaned presses, and we now have thirty of them in our collection. (3) Ten Maltese coins of the greatest rarity, and two of them probably unique. They come from a collection in Naples recently purchased by Messrs. Spink and Son ;John de Homedes, 1536-53; four-Tari piece. Claude de la Sengle, 1553-7; four-Tari piece (probably unique). John de la Vallette, 1557-68; three four-Tari pieces, one with the Paschal Lamb on an altar; one two-Tari piece, and one one-Tari piece. John de la Cassiere, 1572-81 ; four-Tari piece. Anthony de Paule, 1623-36; four-Tari piece, dated 1627 (probably unique), and a three-Tari piece, dated 1628.

As in past years the Library Committee has to report the receipt of many generous gifts. Amongst these the more important are ; (1) A suit of Indian chain mail, probably sixteenth century. The gift of Lieut.-Col. J. T. \Voolrych Perowne, Knight of Justice and Registrar. (2) A large bronze mortar from the Hospital at Malta, having on it the arms of the Grand 1aster Emmanuel de Roham. The gift of iajor ir Algernon Tudor Craig, Knight of Grace. (3) A painting of lonsignor Labini, Bishop of n1alta in 1798. The gift of Mrs. Bernard Davy, Serving ister.

The Director of the Ambulance Department and the Ambulance Committee of the Order have the honour to submit the following report of the work of the St. John Ambulance Association for the information of His Royal Highness The Grand Prior and the Chapter-General. INSTRUCTION. During the year there has been a considerable increase in the number of certificates issued through the medium of centres and detached classes at home. The increase amounts to over 5,000, and, as will be seen from the table below, is apparent in each subject taught by the Association (except Sanitation), and includes both men and women, which is highly satisfactory. The work of the Association overseas continues to expand, especially in the larger Dominions; in each of these the centres or Central Councils, as the case may be, continue to remain thoroughly active.

ST. JOHN AMBULANCE ASSOCIATION.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL.

The Pim Challenge Cup, and the prizes were presented by the Right Hon. Sir vVilliam Joynson-Hicks, Bt., P.C., M.P., the Home Secretary. The first competition was an undoubted success, and it is anticipated that when it becomes more widely known a much larger number of teams will enter, with a resulting increase in the first aid efficiency of the Police Forces of the country. PUBLICATIO

During the year the revision of the text-book First Aid to the Injured" was completed, and the revision of other publications based on the manual was begun. These include A Preliminary Course of Fir t Aid"; A Catechism of First Aid"; Problems in First Aid", and others. The preparation of a publication showing the main alterations in the revi ed manual was also begun. During the year Major F. R. Humphreys kindly prepared for the Association a text-book entitled Protection of the Civil Population in Chemical \Varfare " . Copies of the publication have been circulated to all Centres of the Association and Units of the Brigade.

VISITORS FROM OVERSEAS.

The Association was not so fortunate this year in the number of visitors from overseas who paid a visit to St. John's Gate. A number were, however, able to attend an address by Major-General Sir Percival Wilkinson, K.C., G.C.B., the Director of the Ambulance Department, on 26th June, after which they witnessed the film which Mr. J. Grossman kindly presented to the Order. MEDICAL COMFORTS DEPOTS.

s. ociation to Sanction has been given to the Indian Branch of the translate into the vernacular First Aid to the Injured". This manual has also been translated into Chinese by Mr. T. K. Chak. In each ca e the Association retains the copyright. TRA SLATIO

EW CE. TRES.

Negotiations for a closer relationship between the mbulance Department of the Order of St. John and the Church Lads' Brigade w re carried to a successful conclusion. As a result the Brigade ha been regi tered a a Centre of the Association, though, of course, it retains it former identity, and its registration merely means that all classes organized and examined within the Church Lads' Brigade will be held under the au pice of the Association. VISIT TO AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALA l D.

During the year the Order of St. John was able to fall in with repeated requests from Australia for a visit from representatives of Headquarters. A delegation consisting of Sir J ohn Hewett, G.C.S.I., K.B.E., C.I.E. (Bailiff of Egle) , Major Colin MacRae, C.B.E. (Knight of Ju tice), Lady Margaret MacRae, O.B.E. (Dame of Justice), and Mrs. Atkinson (Dame of Grace), has been appointed to tour Australia and New Zealand, and the members will leave England in October. FILMS.

The official lecture demonstrator of the Association, Mr. C. Hanmer, held a number of meetings during the year with success in various parts of the country, and they were, as usual, well attended. Mr. Hanmer has, however, tendered his resignation as the official lecture demonstrator, and the Director in promising to put the matter before the Ambulance Committee, offered Mr. Hanmer the best thanks of the Ambulance Department for his services during the past.

The number of Depots for the distribution of requisites and comforts in cases of illness now in existence in the provinces is 39, 5 having been established during the period under review. Funds are available to assist in the establishment of 26 further Depots by grants from the fund placed at the disposal of the ssociation by a well-wisher. The number of Depots established in London as the result of grants made by the A sociation from funds placed at its disposal by the Sunday Cinema Fund Committee of the Order is now 9, Depots being in existence in areas controlled by the following Units of the Brigade : Brixton ~ursing Dagenham Ambulance East Croydon ursing Enfield Nursing Garden Suburb Nursing Southall ursing Tottenham and Edmonton \\'althamstow Tursmg Richmond ursing

\iVherever the e Depot have b en established, they have filled a much felt want, and have been of the greatest va1ue to the necessitous poor. INVALID TRANSPORT CORPS.

During the pa t twelve months the activities of this department have been well maintained, a total number of 1,789 removals having been made. The distance travelled by each ambulance is shown in the table below. Many of the individual journeys have been of considerable length, and amongst them the following may be mentioned: Farnham to Bakewell, 418 miles; Truro to Bowes Park, 545 miles; Headcorn to Shrewsbury, 400 miles; Benenden, Kent, to Cragy- IOS, near Neath, South \i\Tales, 483 miles; Mold to Eltham, 443 miles; Torquay to Potters Bar, 459 miles; and King George V Dock, London, to 1anchester, 422 miles. The last deserves special mention. The invalid was a very serious case, suffering it was stated from a broken neck, as the result of an accident when diving in Australia. He had undergone an operation in Melbourne, when two cervical vertebrae were removed; he had travelled from Melbourne to the Docks as above and the doctor in charge had some doubts as to the ability of the invalid to stand the further journey by road, which was, however, safely accomplished to the entire satisfaction of all concerned. Many other road journeys have been made of from one to two and three hundred miles, which are now considered to be quite ordinary runs. During the period under review this department was approached with a view to the transport of the sick children of poor parents. This work

was undertaken. Some 50 little sufferers have been dealt with, and help has also been afforded in connection with the Children's Hospital in removing cases, principally suffering from heart trouble, also many blind and otherwise sick and disabled persons have been removed for Institutions dealing with such cases; the whole of these cases must be included under the definition of the" Sick Poor", small fees only being paid, but it is felt that it is a service which will at once appeal to the philanthropic spirit of the Order. The transport of sick and disabled ex-soldiers and sailors has been continued throughout the year, and the following table will show at a glance the distances covered by each ambulance owned by the Association: Armstrong Siddeley Renault Crossley 1 Crossley 2 Morris

CONCLUSION. The Director and Committee desire to offer their thanks to the lecturers, examiners, instructors, Centre and Class secretaries, and all others who in all parts of the British Empire by their devoted service ?uring the past year have contributed so largely to the success and expanSIOn of the work of the Association. ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE AT HOME. Major-General Sir Percival Wilkinson, K.C.M.G., C.B., the Acting Chief Commissioner, reports as follows : I have the honour to submit my fifth Annual Report as Acting Chief Commissioner of the St. John Ambulance Brigade. In looking back on the twelve months preceding the date of this Report. I can point with satisfaction to the amount of earnest work done by Brigade Units, and the great keenness which it has created among its members. The Commissioners' reports confirm that the high state of efficiency, good discipline, and progress recorded in the past has been fully maintained. STRENGTH.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL.

APPOINTMENTS. H .R.H. The Grand Prior was pleased to sanction the following appointments : Assistant Commis ioner (Reserve) Frederick Sprawson as County Commissioner for the County of Somerset, 18- 11- 27. Assistant Commissioner (Reserve) William Edward Audland, M.B.E., l.R.C.S., as County Commissioner for Oxford, 17- 2- 28. PUBLIC DUTY. The calls made for the services of Brigade personnel show a large increase, and in no small way confirm the opinion that the Brigade is becoming more widely known, and is now recognized as being of great national importance. That this happy state of affairs exi ts is due to the increasing amount of support given to the efforts of the Brigade by the Police and lunicipal Authorities, and the public. The importance of having the support of the civic authorities for a movement so directly affecting the welfare of tho e under their care cannot be overrated; and, as the Brigade is non-political and unsectarian, its welfare may well be the concern of Corporations or Town Councils in the towns where Divisions exist. Many Corporations and Town Councils throughout the country have shown kindness, hospitality, and practical help in the introduction and maintenance of Brigade Units. I therefore desire to place on record in the name of the Brigade my grateful thanks to those civic authorities who have done, and are still doing, so much to further the interests of the movement, and encourage our personnel in carrying out their work. . Details of the immense amount of duty undertaken in 1928 are glven in the Commissioners' reports. An analysis of the return shows that 317,671 cases of accidents and sudden illness received attention. In addition there were many thousands of unrecorded cases. The Brigade supplied personnel for the 58th Brigade Royal Artillery Camp at Seaford during two weeks in the summer, and a number of Ambulance Sisters went into camp with the Girl Guides, Girls' Life Brigade, etc. That their services were appreciated is evident from the increase in the number of applications received for them to attend again in 1929. HOSPITAL I STRUCTION AND DISTRICT WORK. The attendance at Ciyjl Hospitals has been well maintained, and experience gained in this work in invaluable. The Lady Superintendentin-Chief has worked extremely hard in connection with this particular side of the Brigade's activities. In regard to District work, our Nursing members have been particularly helpful; numerous cases a.re on record where they have nursed, under professional guidance, the sick poor, day and night, and attended clinics, schools, and welfare centres for mothers. The fine work carried out in Dublin, where expectant mothers are looked after and supplied with a good d::tily meal and allowance of milk, is most commendable. In Preston the Division have a Flower Mission, and friends with gardens or greenhouses are invited to contribute a few flowers, which are collected and taken weeldy to decorate the wards of the Infirmary. Visiting members say a few words to the patients in bed, especially the lonely ones and those

Contd.

who have no fri~nds visiting them and no letters to cheer them. These few facts show that our Ambulance Sisters set no bounds to their activity when they can find work that ameliorates distress and suffering. AMBULANCE TRA 'SPORT SERVICE. I am pleased to report the Brigade possesses some of the finest ambulances in the country. During the year many new ambulances have been given to, or purchased by Units. Great assistance in this connection has been received from those who desire to perpetuate the memory of a departed relative, and in many cases has originated owing to the care and kindness shown by our Brigade members to the family concerned, or to the town. Much energy is displayed in raising funds to purchase new cars, and the schemes put into operation to attain this end are many and various. The maintenance of an Ambulance is expensive, and it is therefore mo t creditable to those concerned that practically without exception the necessary funds have been found for this service. The amount of work carried out free of charge, especially accident cases, is very large, as will be seen from the following figures which cover the activities of lOG ambulances of the number in commission. Accidents . Removals of Invaltds

The figures include 8,336 free removals of invalids. I SPECTIO S. H.R.H. The Grand Prior inspected the No.1 (Prince of Wales') District, in Hyde Park. many members of the Order being present. During the year I inspected Northampton, Wellingborough, and Kettering Corps at orthampton; the Birmingham Corps, S.E. Lancs. Corps at \\'nitworth, North Derbyshire Units at Chesterfield, and the Newcastle Corp. I also opened the Altrincham and Herne Bay Divisional Headquarters. ~he As i_tant Chief Commissioner inspected Bristol and composite Umts for Nos. 2, 8, and 11 Districts at Camberley. The Lady uperintendent-in-Chief inspected the Plymouth and District 1 ursing Divisions and Cadets. Th~ Assistant Surgeon-in-Chief inspected Warwickshire Corps at Leammgton, Cheshire Units at Whaley Bridge, and Hull Corps. The Chancellor of the Order inspected No.8 District at Herne Bay. In all cases the esprit de corps was all that could be desired, the parades were well organized, the Officers and members were smartly turned out, and showed great keenness in their work. COMPETITIO s. The Competitions for the (( Dewar" Challenge Shield, the (( Symons Eccles" Challenge Cup, the Trimble" Trophy, and the (( Perrott " Cha,nenge Shield, Corbet .Fletcher," and (( Cbalmers" Trophy were agam held at the Great Central Hotel, London, the results 'being as follows : It

The Bournemouth Nursing Division were the winners of the" Corbet Fletcher" Trophy, and the Moka (Ipswich) Division the winners of the" Chalmers" Trophy. The Shields, Cups, and Prizes were presented by H.R.H. Princess 1ary Viscountess Lascelles. The Competitions were highly satisfactory, and a complete success. The thanks of the. Brigade are again due to Mr. John Maxwell and Mr. Joseph Grossman, for their invaluable help rendered in many directions, especially in connection with the making of the films and realistically staging them. To the Judges' Committee, J ud!5es, and my organizing staff, and all those who contributed to the succe of the Competitions I tender my sincere thanks. RESERVES. ROYAL NAVAL AUXILIARY SICK BERTH RESERVE.- I can do no better than append extracts from the Inspecting Medical Officer's report to the Director-General, Naval Medical Services : " 1. Strength.-The Reserve has been maintained at full strength during the year. "2. Training.-999 ratings underwent training during the year. This represents 78'3 per cent of the total complement, as compared with 74'3 per cent in 1927 and 77'2 per cent-the average for the previous four years. " The increase in the number trained is probably accounted for by the revised arrangements which provide for ratings who reside in Small Pox restricted areas being permitted to train if they have been vaccinated during the past five years. Forty-nine ratings have been vaccinated since the revised arrangements came into force, and were permitted to train. It is anticipated that during the coming year a still greater percentage will undergo training as a result of this arrangement. " 3. Inspections.-During the year I inspected the Reservists belonging to 19 Corps and Divisions of the St. John Ambulance Brigade at two centres, namely London and Bristol. " The attendance was somewhat lower than in recent years, 73'2 per cent of the total strength concerned being present; 6'3 per cent were absent without being excused. "The majority of the reservists who were excused attendance were unable to obtain release from their employment, the remainder were prevented by sickness from attending. " A high standard of efficiency was attained by the reservists both in London and Bristol. The men were smart, well disciplined, and It

displayed most satisfactory ability in the various First Aid Tests which were set. " 4. Nursing Certificates.-During the year it has been notified that 43 reservists have obtained the St. John Ambulance Association Nur ing Certificate. Ninety-two reservists have not yet been granted this certificate, all of whom are Probationary Sick Berth Attendants. "I beg to report, as Inspecting Medical Officer, that the Royal Naval Auxiliary ick Berth Reserve is up to strength and is ready for immediate service." MILITARY HOSPITALS RESERVE. The strength of the Military Hospitals Reserve is 805, 295 volunteers being enrolled during the year. 429 Reservists underwent an eight-day course of training at the various military hospitals. The reports from the military hospitals are very satisfactory. VOLU TARY AID DETACHME TS. Efforts are being continued to raise Detachments and enrol members of the Brigade, more e pecially in the "Mobile" section, and in this connection I am pleased to report a substantial increase in Detachments and personnel during 1928.

ROAD SERVICE SCHEME. It. is gratifying to .be able to report that units of the Brigade realize ~he lI~po~tanc.e of thl ,vork and are gradually increasing their activities m thIS directlOn. In many counties permanent road side huts have been rected, e pecially in the East and West Ridings of Yorkshire, ~uc~s, Kent, Lanca hire, Cheshire, and Cumberland, and it is hoped that :n tIme man:y such huts will be in evidence, manned by our personnel, m all countnes whe~e the Brigade exists. Those who are undertaking road duty are the plOneers of the greatest scheme the Brigade have yet un~erta~en . The sc~e.~e opens up a sphere of activity, a knowledge of WhIC~ gIves to all DlvlslOns large or small a wider scope for putting into practlCe the knowledge gained. MEDICAL COMFORTS DEPOTS. I am glad to say. that five.further.Depots have been sanctioned, making a tota~ of 37. now m operation, whIch have come into being through the finanClal aSSIstance of the grant made in 1926. The benefit which the depots confer on the sick and needy is incalculable, as will be seen when one depot alone reports having lent, in three Y<1ars, over 1,430 articles. GE ERAL. . I have. no hesitation in believing that the Brigade will continue to mc~ease. 111 n~mb.er~ ea~h ~ear, and the power of relieving pain and savmg hfe. whIch .IS lmphed ill that ~act is enormous. The desire to join ou~ rank~ IS reachm.g .all grades ~f S?Clety, all ages, and all professions; the Bngade IS a humamzmg ~actor, It gIves the skill which follows upon knowledge, and the nerve whIch follows on skill. In makinO' men and women acqua.inted with su.fferings whi~h they themselves °may never have exp.enence~ or seen, It softens theIr hearts, awakens their sympathies, and eXCItes theIr courage. ~n conclusion, I desire to express my sincere thanks to all ranks of the Bngade fO.r th~ yeoman service they have well performed and for their hard and conSClentlOus work and loyalty to me and to the Order of St. John.

OVERSEAS.

Major-General ir R. Havelock Charles, Bt., G.C.V.O., K.C.S.I., M.D., etc., Chief Commissioner, reports as follows : I have the honour to submit my report on the work of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas for thc year ended 31st December, 1928. The year has seen a decided increase in the number of new Divisions formed; 46 Ambulance and 11 Nursing Divisions have been registered during the year, making a total of 57 ncw Divisions. Against this increase, however, must be set off thc fact that it was necessary to strike off 8 Ambulance and 5 Nursing Divi ions as disbanded. The strength of the Brigade Ov r ea at 31st December, 1928, was therefore:Ambulance Nursing

Thi is an increase over la t year's figures of 44 Divisions and 1,697 members. The trength of the adct of the Brigade Overseas at 31st December, 1928, wa 9 Ambulance and 6 Nursing Divi ions with a membership of 4G1; an increase of 5 Divi ion and 121 members. As for hadowecl in my la t report, the activities of the Brigade have been extended to Kenya and Bermuda, where Divisions have been formed. The work of RilOdesia has been extended by the formation of a second Ambulance Division, and a Nursing Division is in process of formation. During 1928 a great distinction was conferred on the St. J ohrr Ambulance Brigade, both at Home and Overseas, when H.R.H. The Durhc_ of York graciou ly con entecl to become the Commandant-inChief of N ur ing Division. I feel sure that all ranks of the Brigade Over eas will appreciate the honour which has been conferred by Her Royal Highness. Mr . Lancelot Dent, A.R.R.C., the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief of the ur ing Divisions of the Brigade Oversea, continued her tour of India and outh Africa which she commenced in 1927. I am under a debt of gratitude to Mrs. Dent for 0 kindly having undertaken it, as I feel ure it will have permanent and far-reaching re ults. This tour, which in its extent and duration exceeds that of any other visit overseas by a . uperior Officer of the Brigade, will have much practical value, and help 111 no mall measure to a clearer understanding of the position oyersea. I regret that it is not possible, in the space of this report, to gIve a detailed account of frs. Dent's movements, but everywhere she was received with great cordiality; increased enthusiasm for the work has alway followed a visit by 1rs. Dent, and in some place Divisions have been formed as a direct result of her visit, an evidence that Mrs. Dent has not spared herself in the interests of the Order. . Owing to the fact that but few members of the Brigade Overseas were 111 England this year the annual conference, as such, was not held, but all overseas members in England on 26th June were invited to a meeting at

REPORT OF TIlE CHAPTER-GENERAL.

St. John's Gate. The m eeting was addressed by ir Percival Wilkinson, after which the members were invited to witness the film of the Order, and tea was served in the Chapter Hall. Among the contributions received from oversea for the Ophthalmic Hospital at Jerusalem "vas one from the Canadian Divisions of the Brigade Overseas for £55 for the Grand Prior's Special Fund. My thanks are due to them and to all other over eas members who subscribed to this humanitarian work of the Order. In October a delegation of the members of the Order, consisting of Sir John P. Hewett, Mrs. St. John Atkinson, Iajor Colin MacRae, and The Lady Margaret MacRae left Eng1and for a visit to Au tralia and New Zealand. Only a few detail are yet available, but in Ceylon, Australia, and New Zealand they received an enthusiastic reception and their vi it was much appreciated. \Vith regard to the work in each Dominion, I have to report that in :AUSTRALIA.-The Brigade continues to maintain its strength and activity. Eight new Divisions were formed during the year, which include the formation of four Cadet Divisions in the New outh \Vale Di trict. A feature of the year's activities was the inclu ion of wireles talks by the New South \Vales District Staff in the Broadca ting programme from Sydney. At the close of the year the vi it of the Delegation of the Order was much welcomed and an interestin C7 programme of vi it arranged . I much regret that eluring the year the death of Lieut.- olonel T. ~ Iorgan Martin occurred. Colonel Morgan Iartin was for many years an active worker for the Brigade Overseas in New South 'V,'ales and recently held the appointment of Acting Commissioner of that District. CANADA.-The strength of the work in Canada is now on the increase, and during the year six new Divisions have b een registered and other are in process of formatioll. A feature of the year is the revival of the work in British Columbia, where it has been dormant for some time. CEYLON.-The strength of the Ceylon Police Corps continues to increase. Mrs. Lancelot Dent stayed on the island on her way to India, and reports very favourably on her reception there, as also does the Delegation of the Order, which during a short visit was able to inspect a number of the memhers of the Ceylon Police Corps. HONG KONG.-New Divisions have been formed in this Colony, and again a fine record of public duty has to be recorded. INDIA.-The formation of new Divisions, particularly in the No. 1 (Lahore) anel the No.2 (Calcutta) Districts is a hopeful sign of progress. During the year the resignation was received of Sir Alexander Murray, C.B.E., as Commissioner of the No.2 (Calcutta) District, and my thanks are due to him for his many years of service. The vacancy was filled by the appointment of Major H. M. P. Hewett, an Officer of the Oreler. Mrs. Dent spent a considerable time in India, and travelled to nearly every part of the Empire where the Brigade is represented. She reports that the units of the Brigade Overseas are very efficient.

Contd.

NEW ZEALAND.- The standard of work in New Zealand is very high, and the strength and efficiency continues to increase. Thirteen new Divisions were registered during the year. For the purposes of more efficient administration, part of the Otago District was formed into a separate District to be known as the Invercargill District. This brings the number of Brigade Districts in New Zealand to six. SOUTH AFRICA.- The work in South Africa continues to increase, thirteen new divisions being registered during the year, and there has been an all-round advance in the efficiency of the units. The Brigade in the Union is indebted to the Defence Force for much valuable support. I am pleased tu he able to report that the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Assembly, the Police, and many other public bodies have expressed their appreciation of the work of the Brigade throughout ,-outh Africa. lrs. Dent, who travelled to practically every place where the Brigade is represented, as well as to many others, was everywhere received with enthusiasm, and in many places an even further intere t in th e work has been aroused by her visit. The work of the Brigade in the Union suffered a great loss in the resignation of Sir \Villiam Hoy and Lady Hoy on their removal to Rhodesia. The great advance of the Brigade on the outh frican Railways was greatly due to their influence and encouragement. Mr. J. l ore has very kindly consented to become the Acting Assistant Commissioner in charge of the outh African Railways and Harbours Di trict of the Brigade in succession to Sir \Villiam Hoy. \VEST AVSTRALIA.-The work on the railways is being maintained as well a the town Divisions at Perth. There is a prospect of a revival of the work in the Goldfields area. The Delegation of the Order were warmly received on their arrival in \Vest Australia. COXCLUSro::-.r. As I have mentioned earlier, mv thanks are due to Irs. Lancelot Dent for the valuable work she has performed as an (/ ambassador" in India, South Africa, and Ceylon during the tours she has so kindly undertaken, and for the helpful reports she has sent home from time to time on the work of the Brigade in th ese Dominions. I have pleasure in thanking the Chief Commissioners of the various Dominions- Lieut. -Colonel G. Barclay, of New Zealand, Dr. Bennie Hewat, of South Africa, Dr. T. Storie Dixson, of Australia, Sir Henry Mill Pellatt, of Canada, and Sir Henry "Moncrieff Smith, of India-for their valuable work for the t. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas and the Order of St. John rluring the year. I have also pleasure in conveying my thanks to all Officers in charge of Distrjcts and their staffs, and to all other qfficers and Members of the t. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas for thelr service and work during the year under review. During the year ended 31st December, 1928, 71 Service Medals and 23 Bars were issued to members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas, as follows ; -

OPHTHAL HC HOSPITAL, JER LEl\!' THE following is extracted from the Thirty-seventh Annual eport of the Committee:"Her Royal Highness, Princess Mary, Viscountess Lascelle , paid a visit to the Hospital in April. She was much inter ted in all he saw, and spent an hour making a thorough in pection. On her departure from Jerusalem she gave £50 to the High Commis ioner for distribution as he saw fit among the deserving poor of Pale tine. His Excellency, in sending the cheque to the Warden, said that there was no better method of carrying out Her Royal Highness' wish than by asking him to expend the money on some necessary equipment for the Hospital, which "benefits directly all classes and sections of the people." In accordance with this expressed wish, three useful pieces of hospital furniture were ordered from England. Owing to pressure of work Ir. Harrison has resigned his post of architect for the Annexe, and his place has been taken by Mr. Holloway, A.R.I.B.A., Civic Adviser to the Municipality of Jerusalem. He has adopted the main idea of a Khan for the Annexe, which his predecessor originated. It is hoped that work may be begun during 1929. The extra land necessary was acquired from the Finance Commission of the Orthodox Patriarchate, at a cost of £514 2s., and is now registered in the name of the Order in the Jerusalem Land Registry. The Committee has learned with regret that the Sub-Warden, Colonel H. Ainsworth does not propose to apply for an extension of hi two years' agreement, as Mrs. Ainsworth is unable to stand another summer in Jerusalem. Pressure of work continued at the Hospital, and voluntary help is very acceptable. The Committee has to tender thanks again to Mrs. Stuart, M.B., for regular attendance twice a week for two hours at a time, and also to a former member of the Staff, Dr. Shelley, who is always ready to show that his interest in the Hospital remains unabated. The record of patients treated during the year indicates that there has been no falling off in the work which the Staff has been called on to perform, and if there is no very marked variation from the figures of the previous year so far as Operations, New Out-Patients, and In-Patients are concerned, the enormous increase under the head of Total Attendances is very noticeable.

The Committee has decided to join the Federated Superannuation Scheme for Nurses and Hospital Officers, thus falling into line with a ., . . large number of Hospitals in this country. A letter has been received from the Deputy DIstnct CommlsslOner of Jerusalem confirming the position of the Hospital as a Charitable Institution, and so causing its exemption from taxation and customs dues as it used to be in the days of the Turk. An interesting letter has been received from Philadelphia, written by Mr. G. A. Rebmann, who visited the Hospital early in the year. He says: ~'We we.re. ve~y much impressed with t~e :V0.rk it w<;ts doi~g, in fact, m our Opll11On, It was the finest exampl~ of ~hnstlan Chan~y whIch it was our good fortune to see, and if the contnbutlOns for Palestme f~om this country could be used for more hospital buildings in different sectlOns where a greater number of people could be reached, it would certainly be worlh while. There is no better work which can be done for the unfortunates in Palestine." Acting under a Commission from His Royal ~ighn~ss the Gran~ Prior, H.E. The High Commi sioner held an Investl.ture 111 th~ ~ospital o.n 1st May, when the following were invested Wlth the Inslgma of thelr respective Grades:COM 1ANDER (from Officer). l\Iajor Edward Keith-Roach, O.B.E. SERVING BROTHERS. Richard Hughes (in absentia). Colonel Hugh Ainsworth ; M.B., F.R.C.S. (Temporary) . ERVI1':G SISTERS (Temporary). Agnes Muriel Hamilton. Mary Nellie Ingham. Catherine Emma Ellis. SERVICE MEDAL. Lady \Vatson (in absentia). His Excellency then inducted Colonel Ainsworth as Sub-\iVarden and Miss Hamilton as Registrar, in each case investing them with the Badge of their Office. The Honorary ecretary, accompanied by Mrs. Perowne, Honorary Secretary of the Ladies' Linen Guild, .visited J erusalem at the end of July, and were most hospitably entertained during the whole of their nine days' stay by the Vi' arden and Mrs. Strathearn. Opportunity was taken of discus ing many points of importance touching the future, and the Honorary ecretary's presence in Jerusalem was certainly responsible for getting the land for the Annexe " signed, sealed and delivered" before he left the Holy City, but he readily acknowledges the zealous assistance he received both from the Deputy District Commissioner and from the Architect. Mrs. Seton Christopher made a most welcome New Year's (1929) gift to the Hospital by presenting £100 for the purchase of Radium, which the \i\Tarden has long been hoping to obtain. A sum of £40 lOs. has been authorized for expenditure on necessary work on " Watson House". The tablet referred to in last year's Report has been executed in Jerusalem, and is now in situ in the Courtyard of the

House, where it is much admired. Tiles displaying the Arms and Badge of the Order have al 0 been let into the outer wall over the main door. The Sub-Warden has since his appointment been living in a hired house, but your Committee regrets that the hope held out in last year's Report that a beginning might be made in building Paying Patients' \i\Tards and a House for the Sub-Warden has proved premature, owing chiefly to the fact that architects and builders have been overwhelmed with work consequent on the earthquake. The Warden paid a flying visit to England at the beginning of 1928 in order to meet the Committee and discuss various matters of urgency connected with the development of the Hospital. The Committee acknowledges with gratitude the presentation by the \Varden and Mrs. Strathearn of a cupboard table (designed by the \Vard n himself) for ward work-a useful addition to the equipment of the wards. Their Excellencies the Lord and the Lady Plumer presented to the Hospital as a parting gift, just before they left Palestine, a carved oak settee to be placed in the Inner Court, where it will be a useful and an ornamental piece of furniture and a reminder for years to come of two warm and devoted friends of the Ophthalmic Hospital of the Order of St. John. Another notable gift by an anonymous donor has been an operating table of the latest design for the theatre, which has proved a source of the greatest satisfaction to the Surgeons. The Income and Expenditure Account shows an increase in Expenditure of £415 14s. lld.-Salaries and \Vages are up by £419 and Housekeeping by £224-and a decrease in Income of £181, the exccs of Expenditure over Income being £3,765 ls. Gd. compared with £3,168 ls. 10d. in the previous twelve months. This balance has to be met by the Order. Lady \i\Tatson, our Honorary Treasurer in Jeru alem, is to be congratulated once again on showing an incr ase of nearly £10 in her remission home of £2GO, placing yet another" record" to her credit. Her enthusiasm is irresistible. A legacy of £100 from the late 1iss Janet F. Murray, an Officer of the Order, has been invested and added to the Endowment Fund. In addition to the gifts already acknowledged, the Committee has to thank the Library of the Red Cross and Order of St. John for a second parcel of selected books, Miss Moreing Aldridge for eye-bandages, Mr. and Mrs. Rebmann, of Philadelphia, for a donation of 200, the Aberdalgie Women's Guild for £3 for the Children's Clinic, H.M.V. Company for Gramophone Records, Mrs. Hendley (ad. 80) for a beautiful lace tea-cloth, embroidered by herself with the Arms and Badge of the Order, to be used on State occasions in Jerusalem, Mr. M. Barrett for books, Mrs. W. B. Hamilton for £5 for a Bed-side Locker (in memory of her husband), Count Eric von Rosen £5 for a Bed-side Locker, and Lord Kylsant for his ready help in procuring freight-free carriage of gifts to Jaffa, and, finally, it would congratulate Mrs. M. B. Graham, who organized a Bridge Tournament in aid of the Grand Prior's Appeal, which realized the substantial sum of £70. At a Parade Service of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas in Lahore Cathedral the Offertory in aid of the Hospital realized £13 9s. 7d. The Hon. Secretary for Scotland, Mr. ]. Horne Stevenson, M.B.E., K. C., well deserves the annually recurring thanks he receives from the Committee for the financial help he sends from north of the Tweed, where he

has no organization of the Order to assist him. His colleagues on the Committee appreciate his stea?y support, though they regret that he can so rarely be present at theIr. meetmgs. . The Ladies' Linen Guild contmues to prove Its great usefulness as an Auxiliary to the Hospital Committee, which tak.es this opportunity of expressing its thanks to all the Members for theIr valuable help. .' The Committee, in the name of the Order, would finally express Its thanks to the \Varden and his colleagues, to Lady Watson, to the Matron and the Nursing Staff, and to all the other workers in th~ Hospi~al, British or Palestinian, permanent or temporary, who by theIr d~votlOn to duty, and their care of the sick and the suffering, are upholdmg the best traditions of our Venerable Order."

By arrangement with the Rhondda Borough Education Committee, the Priory made itself re pon ible for the admini tration of the Ambulance training in the evening continuation classes an? it ~s g~nerally ~gr:ed that the change has proved beneficial and there IS a likelihood of SImIlar arrangements being made with other Authorities . . .

Increase in the membership of the Brigade in Wales has been a regular feature of each successive year's work; it has risen from 5,000 in 1920 to nearly 9,000 at the end of 1928. It is particularly encouraging to see from the following figure that the terrible distress in the mining areas during the year 1928 did not prevent the maintenance of this progressive record.

Whilst the Brigade has been strengthened in numbers it has developed also in active service. Many Divisions are maintaining Medical Comforts Depots; on the main roads and busy traffic centres the ambulance members are on duty at week-ends and the nursing members work with the District ·VVelfare Nurses, visit the sick and supply nouri hment in special cases. The usual forms of public duty are being continued, and a football match, carnival, procession and, indeed, any public gathering, would seem incomplete without its uniformed t. John members . A number of ambulance halls have been erected by the local units, and are used as Headquarters in which the medical comforts depot are established, and the members are able to meet for in truction and practice. The Miners' Welfare Fund has recently decided that social hall are an asset to the community of the mining di tricts, and has given grants towards their erection. The halls at Pontycymer, ryn, kewen, Langland Bay, Glyncorrw, Briton Ferry, Port Talbot, and Barry have already been vested in the Priory, and several others are being erected. Competitions continue to be an effective means of stimulating interest and maintaining efficiency, and the Priory is grateful for the gift of cleven new trophies. There are now seventy cups, shields, and trophic vested in the Trustees for annual competition in the various Centres. Once again the Priory was asked to organize ambulance competitions at the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society's Show at \Vrexham. In addition to open contests for teams of men and nurses, ambulance men in the County of Denbigh had the special privilege of competing for a trophy given by Mr. James A. Darlington, Chainnan of the Denbighshire Centre, for competition by teams whose members were resident or employed in the County. The Welsh Railway Competition for the" Harry Webb" Cup took place in Cardiff on the 1st November, 1928. A large gathering of Railway Officials and Ambulance workers attended and the trophy was presented to the Pontypool " A " G.W.R. team by the donor, Sir Harry \Vebb, Bart. The No. 8 District Police Competition promises to become one of the most important ambulance events of the year. The Priory organized the competition at the request of the District Secretary, Chief Constable J. A. Wilson, O.B.E., and the Hon. Mr. Robert Devereux was able to attend and present her trophy. The Welsh Brigade Competitions took place on the 21st April, 1928. The Aberdare and Llanelly Nursing teams were successful in winning the Championship trophies and representing Wales in the final Brigade Competitions in London in May, when their positions were third and eighth respectively.

Contd.

During the year thirty-seve~ members c?mpleted fifteen years' service in the Brigade, and receIved the ?~rVICe Me?al of the Order ~ and sixteen bars were awarded for addlbonal penods of five years efficiency. .. . Wales has recruited 197 members for the Military HospItals ~eserve, and of these 80 have been supplied by the Neath Corps. It IS hoped to complete the quota next year. . The Voluntary Aid Detachme~t Scheme ha~ n?t made much progress, but as a re ult of a communicatIOn the CommissIO~er for vVales recently addressed to Nursing Divisions there are now SIgnS of advancement in this direction and several units have decided to enrol. . The rotor A~bulance Transport Service is an increasinglY.lffiportant branch. In 1928 the cars c,:-rried 4,533 cases, and the milea~e ~vas 93,413 ~.

The Delegation left Tilbury in the R.M.S. Oronsay of t.he Orient Line on 27th October, 1928. It can isted of the under-mentIOned members of the Order : ir John Hewett, G.C.S.L, ICB.E., C.LE. (Baili~ Grand Cros~ and Bailiff of Egle); Major Colin lacRae, C.B.E. (Kmght of Justice); Lady Margaret MacRae, O.B.E. (Dame of Justice); Irs. L. E. Atkinson (Dame of Grace). The following is a summary of ir John Hewett' report to ChapterGeneral. GIBRALTAR.-vVe arrived on 31 t October and interviewed our representative there. The people are keen about Fir t Aid work, but not easy to teach. There i a Nur ing Division at Tangiers. CEYLoN.-\Ve arrived at Colombo, where there is a strong centre of the Association and a di trict of the Brigade, on 17th November. We were met by the Inspector-General of Police, ~Ir. Dowbiggin, C.M.G., a Serving Brother of the Order, and Sir John Hewett and Iajor MacRae inspected a detachment of 100 Police with their Band drawn up on the jetty. All Police reservists are required to take up First Aid certificates before joining, and no serving member of the Force can be promoted serjeant without one. The delegation lunched with His Excellency the Governor, who is a very kecn supporter of the work of the Order in Ceylon. WESTER AUSTRALIA.-We arrived at Fremantle on 27th November, and were received by the President of the Western Australia Head Centre, Dr. Tymms, Knight of Grace, and other representatives of the Order. Unfortunately, Lady Margaret MacRae, who had been ill for some time, was unfit to land. The Centre, established in 1891 by Dr. Tymms, i supported by a very efficient Council, and His Excellency the Governor, Sir William Campion, Knight of Grace, takes a great interest in the work. All members of the Contabulary and Fire Brigade are required to qualify under the rules of the Association, and the Railway Department offers strong inducements to its employees to obtain a First Aid qualification. There are Ambulance Divisions at Perth and Fremantle, one Nursing Division at Perth, and ten Railway Ambulance Divi ion Dr. Tymms is Assistant Commissioner of the Coastal District.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL.

DELEGATION TO AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND.

At Perth we were received by the Mayor and Council, but His Grace the Archbishop, a Sub-Prelate of the Order, was unable to be present owing to illness. An Investiture was held in the Town Hall, at which ir \Villiam Campion, Knight of Grace, and four erving Brothers were invested with the Insignia of the Order. At Kalgoorlie we were formally received by the layor on 3rd December, and there was a civic reception in the TOWIl Hall, and the tour of \Ve tern Australia fini hed with a civic reception by the Mayor of Boulder on 4th December. The authority of Dr. Tymms doe not extend to the Goldfields District, where the Brigade has ceased to function; it would seem to be desirable that he should have authority a Commi ' ioner over both Districts. The work of the Order in Western Australia is the be t in the Continent. There is complete harmony and great loyalty to the Order. othing could be more satisfactory. There i a strong desire to work directly with Headquarters in London rather than through any other body. We do not think it possible that there could be Over ea a more atifactory demonstration of how the work should be carri d out than is to be found in Western Australia. Dr. Tymms and his General ecretary, Mr. J. R. Campbell, are greatly to be congratulated. SOUTH AUSTRALIA.-Leaving Kalgoorlie on 5th December, we reached Adelaide on the 7th, and were received by a Guard of Honour of the Brigade and representatives of the Order, proceeding to Government House as the guests of His Excellency ir Alexander Hore-Ruthven. On the 8th there was a Garden Party given in honour of the Delegation by the Chairman of the Adelaide Centre, 1\1r. A. A. imp on, C.:'LG., C.B.E., an Officer of the Order. On the 9th there was a parade of the Ambulance and Nursing Divisions, on the 10th a luncheon by the Commomvealth Club, and on the 11th a reception by the Lord Mayor of delaid the Delegation leaving for Melbourne on the 12th. The state of affairs in South Australia cannot be regarded a atifactory, the strength of the Brigade, which formerly con is ted of 12 Ambulance Divisions and 2 Nursing Divisions; had fallen to 7 Ambulance Divisions and 1 Nursing Division. VICTORIA.-We reached Melbourne on 13th December, and were received by the local representatives of the Order, afterwards attending a civic reception by the Lord Mayor in the Town Hall. On the 14th there was a reception by the President of the Association, Dr. MacAdam, at the Wattle Tea Rooms, in the evening the Delegation dined at the State Government House with His Excellency the Governor, and during the week end was entertained by Mr. Pomeroy Green at Greystones, near Bacchus Marsh, about 40 miles from Melbourne. On the 17th the Delegation left for Tasmania. At this stage Lady Margaret facRae was compelled to withdraw from the Delegation by continuous ill-health, and since it was necessary for Major MacRae to remain with her, the Order was from this time onwards represented only by Sir John Hewett and Mrs. Atkinson. There are in Victoria 2 Ambulance Divisions and 6 Nursing Divisions. The Centre was established in 1883, whilst the Brigade was founded in 1910. The relationship between the Association, the Brigade, and the Victorian Civil Ambulance Service is excellent, the Secretaryship of the three organizations being held by Mr. Lord.

TASMANIA.-We landed at Launceston on 18th December, and in the evening attended a meeting called by the Mayor, at which it was decided to re-establish a Centre, and a council was elected. The next day we reached Hobart, and proceeded to Government House as the guests of His Excellency Sir James O'Grady. On the 20th we were entertained at luncheon by the Government at the Springs Hotel, Mount Wellington, and in the evening there was a meeting called by the Mayor at the Town Hall. On the 21st we were entertained by Sir John Gellibrand, the President, and the members of the Red Cross Society, and next day left for Melbourne. The Southern Tasmanian Centre was formed in 1909, was very active in the War, but ceased to function in 1923. At a meeting called by its President, ir John Evans, in October, 1928, it was decided to resuscitate the Centre, and Dr. Gregory Spratt was appointed Chairman of its Provisional Committee. The sooner it is recognized by Headquarters the better.

NEW OUTII \\'ALEs.-\Ye left Melbourne for Sydney on 26th December, arriving the following morning, and were received by a Guard of Honour and the local representatives of the Order. We were entertained at luncheon by the Officers of the Association and Brigade, under the pre idency of the Chief Justice, Sir Philip Street. On the 28th we were entertained at luncheon by the Town Planning Association, presided over by Lieut.-Col. Purdy, D.S.O., an Officer of the Order, and in the evening there was a meeting at the King's Hall under the presidency of ir Philip treet, at which the following were invested with the Insignia of the Order: olonel Dick (Commander), Mr. Boles Rainsford (Commander), Mr. Henderson (Officer), Mrs. Glasscock (Officer), Miss Read (Officer). On the 29th the Lieutenant-Governor, Sir William Cullen, entertained the Delegation at a garden party at Government House, and on the 30th there was a church parade of the Brigade at St. Andrew's Cathedral, at which the Archbishop preached a very remarkable sermon, of which he has promised to send a copy to St. John's Gate. On 2nd January the Delegation was received at the TOWIl Hall by the three Commissioners who are at present adn1inistering the affairs of the City, and on the following day left for Queensland. The work of the Order in New South Wales is very active, the Centre dates from 1890, and its President is Sir Philip Street, The Brigade is stronger than anywhere else in Australia, and consists of 28 Ambulance Divisions, 16 Nursing Divisions, and 6 Cadet Divisions. QUEENSLAND.-We reached Warwick at midday on 4th January, and lunched with the Country \Vomen's Association, and then continued our journey to Toowomba, where we were received at Ambulance Headquarter. The following day we went on to Brisbane, where we stayed at Government House as the guests of His Excellency Sir John Goodwin, and on the 6th left for Sydney en route for New Zealand. There is no place in Queensland for Ambulance Divisions of the Order, since it has its own organization, the Queensland Ambulance Transport Brigade, but it might be advantageous if that organization were to become more closely a sociated with the Order, as seems to be its desire. It might be feasible also to establish Nursing Divisions of the Order, affiliated to the Q.A.T.B., since there are none in that organization. D

REpORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL.

The work of the Centre of the Association in Oueen land is carried on by the Committee of the Brisbane Branch of the""Q.A.T.B. NEW ZEALAND.-We left ydney on 10th January and landed at Auckland on the night of the 13th, where we were received by the local representative of the Order, and next day we vi ited the Ambulance Station; in the evening we were entertained by the Pacific Club. On the 15th there wa a Civic reception by the Mayor, and in the evening we inspected the Ambulance and Nur ing Divi ion in the Territorial Drill Hall. Next day we left for \i\ anganui. Our vi -it to uckland was one of the mo t succe ful and encouraging during our tour. The Centre and District are admirably controlled by 11r. Tunks, an Officer of the Order, who combines the dutie of Chairman of the entre and Assistant Commissioner. There i in con equ nce complete harmony between the Association, the Brigade, and the local Red ro s authoritie . The Hon. Secretary of the Centre, If. \Yilliam Rattray, a erving Brother of the Order, has for over thirty year devoted him elf to its well-being. The Centre wa establi hed in 1892. There arc 11 Ambulance Division and 7 Nursing Divisions. We reached Wanganui on the night of the 16th. Xext day there was a Civic reception by the Mayor and a meeting in the Ambulance Hall. Wanganui was created a separate Centre in 1927, in which year the Ambulance Hall was erected, with mo t encouraging re ult. There are 6 Ambulance Divisions, 3 Nursing Division, and a adet Diviiun. From Wanganui we motored to \\'ellington, on the 18th, where we were entertained at a Civic reception by the ~Iayor, and in the evening there was a meeting in the y.\V.C.A. Hall, pre ided over by the ~Iayor, who is President of the Centre. On the evening of the 10th we left fur Lyttelton on the s.s. lIiaori, en route for Chri tchurch. The \Yellingtoll Centre dates from 1885. The Centre and Brigade are both flouri hing. There are 6 Ambulance Divisions and G l1fsing Divisions. At Christchurch we were met by ir Heaton Rhode, who took us to his beautiful home at Otahuna, 12 miles away, where we were ent rtained with the greatest kindness. On 21st January there was a public meeting at Christchurch, with an inspection of the Ambulance and ~ ursing Divisions. The Centre was establi hed in 1883 There are l> Ambulance Divisions and 6 Nursing Divisions. On the evening of the 23rd we reached Oamaru, a sub-centre of the Otago Centre, and next day visited the Ambulance Hall. There are here three Divisions-an Ambulance, a Nursing, and a H.ailway Divi ion. It was very encouraging to see such good results in a rather small outlying town. We arrived at Dunedin on the afternoon of 25th October. On the following day there was a garden party given by the Vice-Chancellor of the University, and in the evening the President of the Centre entertained the delegation to dinner. On the 27th there was a public meeting at the Strand Picture Theatre, the largest meeting we had in New Zealand. On the 28th there was a reception of the members of the Centre in the Tudor Hall-a most successful evening, and a fitting climax to our visit. The Centre was established in 1888. There are 5 Ambulance Divisions and 4 Nursing Divisions in the Otago District. The situation would be very satisfactory at Dunedin if only certain unfortunate causes of local friction could be eliminated.

DELEGATION TO AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALA D.

Contd.

We were not able to visit the Centres at Invercargill, New Plymouth, and Timaru. At Invercargill there are two Ambulance Divisions and a Nursing Division, at New Plymouth an Ambulance Division and a Nursing Division, and at Timaru the same. On 29th January we left Dunedin for Otahuna. Next day we lunched in Chri tchurch with his Excellency the Governor-General, Sir Charles Fergus on, and discussed the di pute regarding the money transmitted by the Joint War Committee and the question of the establishment of a Commandery. Our tour was now at an end. In the evening we left for Wellington, and on the 31st attended the meeting of the Dominion Executive in the Parliament Buildings, at which the question of the proposed Commandery was again discussed. We lunched with the New Zealand Club, and there Sir John Hewett spoke on the que tion of the funds ent back to New Zealand at the end of the "Var by the Joint \Var Committee. It is most desirable that the di pute should be ettled without delay. Sir Joseph Ward, the Prime Mini ter, expre ed his readiness to arbitrate, and the Governor-General i willing to pre ide over a conference. It is to be hoped that when this dispute is ettled teps will be taken, in conjunction with the British Red Cro oci ty at home, to enforce obedience to the agreement between the Order and the ociety. POSITION OF THE ORDER.-It has been deeply impre sed upon us that the Order of t. John in Au tralia and New Zealand has lost some of the po ition \''I'hich it once occupied, and that it is very desirable that it should be trengthened by the inclu ion of individuals of high social status. Of the Governor-Generals and Governors only two, ir John Goodwin and ir \Yilliam ampion, are members of the Order. It would be greatly to the advantage of the Order if they all belonged to it. At pre ent the Ord r is inadequately represented in the lower as well as in the higher grade . Apparently the power given to Governor-Generals and Governors of self-governing Dominion under Regulation 33 D to make recommendations has fallen into di u e. \\'e think that the whole question of the recruitment of the Ord r in Au tralia and New Zealand requires to be carefully con idered. KNOWLEDGE OF THE ORDER.-vVherever we went two matters forced themselves .very much on our notice, the extreme ignorance among both those workmg for the Order and the general public of its history, and the great interest of everyone in what we were able to tell them about it. We wished that we had had many more copies of Colonel King's book to distribute. HIGHER ORGANIZATIO .-In Australia there is a Central Council for the Commonwealth, approved in December, 1923, as a branch of the Ambul.ance Department of the Grand Priory. It has an Executive CommIttee elected at each general meeting, and both Council and the Committee are to meet in Canberra. But Western Australia as a whole and ~ South Australia the Centre, have declined to join the Central Council, and we are unable to find any very clear evidence of the value of the Central Council in Australia, where distances are so va t.

REpORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL.

In New Zealand there is the Dominion Executive of the Ambulance Department, corresponding to the Australian Central Council. It meets at Wellington, and is a far more active body, since it is geographically so much more accessible. The Chairman of the Dominion Executive and Director of Ambulance is Colonel the Hon. Sir H eaton Rhodes. In New South Wales at a conference with the Centre at ydney a proposal was made for a Commandery of New South Wales. Sir Philip Street, who was in the chair, ruled this out of order on the grounds that this question was not among those which the Delegation had been directed to consider, and that the proper course to ensure its consideration was to bring it up before the Centre and, if and when it received approval by that body, to recommend it to the Central Council. NEW ZEALAND COMMA DERY.-We are specially directed to report on this proposal. \Ve think that the establishment of a Commandery would add very considerably to the dignity, authority and efficiency of the Order in New Zealand. As a natural result very much greater interest would be created among all classes in the work of the Order, and it would tend to increase efficiency in administration. The number of members of the Order in New Zealand is 72; unless additions are made to the higher grades there will not be enough to constitute a satisfactory Chapter. JOI T WAR COMMITTEE.

The follO\ving is extracted from the last published report of the Joint Conncil of the Order and the British Red Cross Society:During the twelve months under review, 335 Officers received assistance through t.he Auxiliary Hospitals for Officers Department, of whom 125 were new cases, making a total of 17,923 since the beginning of the War. The Hospital at Brighton was again fully occupied. Each hristmas Day for several years past gifts have been sent to ex- ervice pensioner patients actually in Ministry of Pensions Hospitals and similar Institutions on Christmas Day receiving treatment for the disabilit.y for which a pension has been awarded. The gifts, at the rate of 5s. per head, are made with the intention of giving the men some of the comforts they would enjoy if they were able to spend Christmas Day with their families. The total cost of the 5,774 gifts issued for Christmas Day, 1928, including carriage, etc., was £1,426 lls. 6d., of which £917 7s. ld. was admini tered direct by the Joint Council, and the remainder per the Ministry of Pensions. The work of the Drives and Entertainment Fund during the year under review has naturally been carried on on much the same lines as heretofore. The Director, again, has had the advantage of the co-operation of the " Not Forgotten" Association, the" Lest We Forget" Association, and of the Stock Exchange War Wounded Entertainment Fund, and of many Amateur Dramatic Societies who take their Companies to the hospitals themselves and whose visits always seem welcome and eagerly sought for. During the year the fund provided: Transport for nearly 16,000 exService patients in Ministry of Pensions Hospitals and other Institutions to entertainments provided for their benefit; 77 Concerts to ex-Service patients in hospital, in addition to 35 provided in conjunction with the Stock Exchange War \i\Tounded Fund; 38 amateur theatrical performances in the hospitals; and, in addition, made financial grants to the three Ministry of Pensions Hospitals to provide drives, etc., for patients in those hospitals. The total number of ambulance stations in the country equipped by the Home Service Ambulance Committee is 287, and there are, in addition, 69 ambulances affiliated to the service, making 356 in all. During the twelve months ended 31st December, 1928, the ambulances carried 112,496 patients, and the total number of patients carried by the Service

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL.

since it was set up is 733,488. Since the last Report 12 new stations have been equipped. The Scio House Committee is glad again to report that its work for the ex-Service tuberculous Officer at Scio House continues satisfactory, and that the Home meets a real need. The patients and their relatives and the Ministry of Pensions express the warmest appreciation of the value of the Home. In May last the Joint Council considered and approved a proposal that its Hospital and Medical Services Department should become the Central Bureau of Hospital Information, under the auspices of the British Hospitals Association and the Joint Council. The Committee of the Bureau welcomes inquiries on all Voluntary Hospital matters, and invites Hospital Chairmen and Administrators to inform the Bureau of any ubjects of importance on which collated information would be helpful to those engaged in hospital work. During the period covered by this Report, 755 Provincial Voluntary Hospital Reports have been received and analysed, and the Ninth Annual Report on the Voluntary Hospitals in Great Britain (excluding London) for 1927, compiled and issued. The Report received wide and favourable publicity in the Press. The ssessment of Hospitals is also a subject that has occupied the attention of the Bureau, and a questionnaire has been issued to all the Hospital. Conferences have also been held with other organizations interested in the subject of Assessment. A summary of the information obtained has been prepared and has been laid before the British Hospital ssociation and fon-varded to each hospital. The subject of Hospital Insurances is being examined by the Bureau, and steps are being taken to ascertain the variou risks and liabilities against which a hospital can insure and the terms upon which such insurances can be effected. Contributory chemes are being considered by a considerable number of small hospitals. In cach case, the help of the Bureau is being given by way of supplying information concerning the various schemes already in being. CINEMA FU D COM HTTEE. During the financial year the Committee obtained a further contributor, thereby increasing the income, which wa £187 in execs of the previou year. The Committee is happy to report that the original medical comforts depots are still carrying on u eful work and have been as ist d by grants in cash or in kind in accordance with the expansion of their activities. Three additional medical comforts depot have been established. The Committee has again been able to assist in providing funds for ambulance duty and also to assist in the removal of invalids among the necessitous poor in London. In addition local charities in the parish of Clerkenwell have been afforded help. OBITUARY.

1928 lIo'->pitall'>r alld til' "ommittee of the Ophthalmic Hospital have the honour to llbmit th ir Thirty-se\' nth Report for the information of His l~oyal Higlm " tll Grand Prior, th Chapter-General and its subscribers. H r Royal Highne , Princ ss Mary, Viscountess Lascelles, paid a vi "it to the Ho pital in pril. he was much int rested in all she saw, and "P nt an hour making a t.horough in pection, when, according to schedule, sh was only allowed ten minut . h afterwards honoured the V\Tarden and "JIrs . , trath arn by t.aking tea with them in the Warden's Lodge. )n her d 1 artuf [rom Jeru alem he gave £-0 to the High Commissioner [or c1i ·triblltion a he aw fit among the de erving poor of Palestine. Hi " Excell ncy, in ending the cheque to the vVard n, aid that there was no belt'r 111 thod of carrying out Her l-{oyal Highne ' wish than by a king him to xpend th mon y on some nece ary equipment for the IIo~pital, which" benefit directly all classes and sections of the people ". In a corclanc with thi expre sed wi h, three most u eful piec~ of 110 "pital furnitur w r ord red flam England: (i) a treatment table for infant ' and young children, (ii) a treatment xarnination chair, and (iii) a m ' tal dres ing tabl , with gla top. The total amount received up to 31 t December, 1928, in reply to the Grand Prior's appeal after the earthquake in 1927 i £12,947 lOs. id., in which i: indud d the urn of £1 ,519 collected previously for the building of the nn x , and bank int re t. The expenditure to date, including f' t.oration of th a tual damage done by the earthquake, purchase of additional land for th Ann x , reconstruction of the Sub-Warden's flat into quart r for the ~ratron and isters, survey and plan co t , and co ' l of app al, amounts to £2,702 0 . lld. (see Sp cial Fund, Income and Expenditure Account, accompanying thi Report). Your Committee has, a tat d in la t year' report, allotted £1,500 to further alterations and improvements of the xi ting Ho pital buildings, and, subject to a final report from the archit ct, ha s t a ide £6,000 for the Annexe, to include purcha of xtra land, leaving a balance of £3,320 to go towards the building of th proposed new outh Block, which will be de igned to receive on the upper floor paying patients and give, in addition, on the lower, accommodation much needed for expansion owing to the congested condition of the existing buildings. A fresh, though slight, earthquake occurred in February, 1928, which did damage to the extent of £50, and the rain in November have revealed hitherto concealed cracks which have been dealt with promptly, but which prove that mischief may yet be going on and that watchful care is still necessary. Owing to pressure of work Mr. Harrison felt obliged to resign his post of architect for the Annexe, and hi place has been taken by Mr. A. C. Till:.

REPORT

OPHTHALMIC HOSPlTAL Holloway, A.R.LB.A., Civic Advi er to th Municipality of J ru alem. He has adopted the main idea of a Khan for the nnexe which his predecessor originated. It is hoped that work may be begun, if not completed, during 1929. The extra land nece sary was duly acquir d from the Finance Commission of the Orthodox Patriarchate, at a co t of £514 2s., and is now regi tered in th nam of the Order in th Jerusalem Land Regi try. There are no changes to chronicle on the staff, but the \,varden received the heartiest congratulations of th Order and the ommitt e on his appearing in the Honours Li t of the King's Birthday, promot c1 Commander, from Officer, of th Order of the Briti h Empire. The Committee has learned with regr t that the, ub-\Vard n, Colonel H. Ainsworth, has felt obliged to say h do not propose to app] 1 for an extension of his two years' agreement, as i\1r . Ain worth is unabl to stand another summer in J eru alem. It will, therefor , b ' n ces ar ' to appoint his successor by June. An official Badg, anction d by Chapter-General, has been presented by an anonymou donor for th'e Matron's use on special occasion and the thorny question of h r uniform has at last been settled. Pressure of work continue.d at the Hospital, and voluntary help is very acceptable. The CommIttee ha to tender thanks again to Mrs. Stuart, 1.B. for regular attendance twice a we k for two hours at a time, and also to a former member of th Staff, Dr. hell ,who i: always ready to show that his interest in the Hospital r main unabat d. The record of patients treated during the year indicate that there ha,been no falling off in the work which the Staff has b en call d on to perf<?rm, and if there is no very marked variation from th figur s of th prevIOus year so far as Operations, New Out-Patients, and In-Patient ~ arc concerned, the enormous increase under th head of Total U ndan s is very noticeable. The Warden deals with the whole position in his Annual Report, on p. 8. Your Committee has decided to join the Fed rated up rannuation Scheme for Nurses and Ho ~ pital Officer, thu falling into lin with a large number of Hospitals in this country. . The Grand Prior has appointed two new memb r of the Committee, FIeld-Marshal the Lord Plumer, G.C.B., etc. and ir Herbert amu 1son, I\.B.E. Mr. H. E. G~rle has been appointed on of th two R presentabves of the CommIttee on the Council of the Order under Regulation 7 A. A letter has been received from the Deputy Di trict Commi sioner of JerusaleI? (Major E ..Keith-Ro<l:ch,. O.B.E.) confirming the position of the HospItal as a Chantable InstItutIOn, and so causing its xemption from ta~abon a?d customs dues as it used to be in the day of the Turk. An mterestmg letter has ?~en received fr?m Philadelphia, written by "J1r. G. A. Rebmann, who VISIted the HospItal early in the year. He ~ays: '.' We we.re. ve~y much impressed with the work it was doing, :n fact, m our opmIOn, It was the finest example of Christian Charity which It was our good fortune to see, and if the contributions for Palestine from this country could be used for more hospital buildings in different sections where a grea~er number ?f people could be reached, it would certainly be worth whIle. There IS no better work which can be done for the unfortunates in Palestine." J..

REPORT

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL

irs. Seton Chri topher made a most welcome New Year' (1929) gift to the Hospital by presenting £100 for the purchase of Radium, which the Warden has long been hoping to obtain. Th money provided 6'5 milligramme of Radium Element with, as container, a half- trength oval plaque 20 mm. by 16 mm. A certificate of measurement from Brussel Univer ity, In urance, a lead box for storag , po tage, etc., also had to be paid for, but there still r mained a ba1anc out of the original £100 of £19, which on the suggestion of the generous donor ha been allotted as to £10 to the Grand Prior's Appeal Fund and a to the r~sidue to the purchase of books for the Hvspital Library. A sum of £40 10 . has been authorized for expenditur on neces ary work on " \iVatson Hou e ". The tablet r ferred to in la t year'~ 'port has been executed in J erusalem, and is now in sdzt in the Courtyard of th House, where it is much admired. Tiles displaying the Arm and Badg . of the Order have al ' 0 been let into the outer wall over th main door. ~ 0 further work has been done in the plot of ground belonging to the Order in the Muristan, but negotiations are proceeding r lativ to th purchase of the strip of ground in disput between th German and the Finance Commission of the Orthodox Patriarchat. \Vb n th . ar completed the property of the Order will be bounded on tIl oulh by the Vegetable Iarket. The Sub-Vlarden ha sinc his appointm nt b en living in a hir d house, but your Committee regrets that th hope held out in 1a t y ar's Report that a beginning might be made in building Paying Pati nt ·' Wards and a House for the Sub-\Yarden has proved prematur , owing chiefly to the fact that architects and build r have b en ov rwh lmed with work consequent on the earthquake. The Warden paid a flying visit to England at the b ginning of H)2~ in order to meet the Committee and discuss various malters of urgcncy connected with the development of the Hospital. The ommittee acknowledges with gratitude the pre entation by thc \rarel 11 and Mrs. Strathearn of a cupboard tabl (designed by th \Yard n himself) for ward work-a useful addition to the equipment of tIl ward. Their Excellencies the Lord and the Lady Plumer pr nt d to the Hospital as a parting gift, just before they 1 It Palestine, a carved oak ette to be placed in the Inner Court, wher it will be au eful and an ornamental piece of furniture and a reminder for y ars to come of two warm ancl devoted friend of the Ophthalmic Hospital of the Ord r of t. John. Another notable gift by an anonymous donor has been an operating table of the latest design for the theatre, which has proved a source of the greatest satisfaction to the Surgeons. The Income and Expenditure Account shows an increase in Expenditure of £415 14s. lld.-Salaries and Wages are up by £419, and Housekeeping by £224-and a decrease in Income of £181, the excess of Expenditure over Income being £3,765 1s. Gd. compared with £3,168 ls. 10d. in the previous twelve months. This balanc has to be met by the Order. Lady Watson, our Hon. Treasurer in Jerusalem, is to be congratulated once again on showing an increase of nearly £10 in her remission home of £260, placing yet another" record" to her credit. Her enthusiasm is irresistible. A legacy of £100 from the late Miss Janet F. Murray, an Officer of the Order, has been invested and added to Endowment Fund.

In addItIOn to the gifts already acknowledged, the Committee has to thank the Library of the Red Cross and Order of St. John for a second parcel of selected books, Miss Moreing Aldridge f~r eye-bandages, Mr. and Mrs. Rebmann, of Philadelphia, for a donatIOn of $200, the berdalgie Women's Guild for £3 for the Children's Clinic, H.M.V. ompany for Gramophone Records, 1rs .. Hendley (cet. 80) for a beautiful lace tea-cloth embroidered bv herself WIth the Arms and Badge of the Order to be ~sed on State occasions in J erusalem, Mr. M. Barrett for books: 11rs. Vol. B. Hamilton for £5 for a Bed-side Locker (in memory of her hu band), Count Eric von Rosen £5 for a Bed-side L~cker, an~ Lord Kvl ant for his ready help in procuring freight-free carnage of glft~ to j<lffa, and, finally, it wo~ld ~ongratulate Mrs. ~'1?'

His colleagues on the ommitt e appreciate his steady support though they regret that he an 0 rarel be present at th ir meeting.

REPORT

PIT AL

The 'Varden's Report for 1928. The number of new patient seen during 1~)2 wa 20,3nO and the total con ultation 94,832. Th number of patients admitt d to Ho pital wa 1,270; and the number of operation perform d 3,504. Clas ified according to religion, of the new ca es 14 ,2D 6 w r 110 lem , 3,735 were Christian , and 2,359 were Jew. Of the total on 'ultations 67,304 were 1\10 lems, 14,821 \,,>'ere Chri tian and 12,707 wer J ws. The number of n w pati nt and the total con uHalion ar the largest yet recorded. This incr a e i to b attributed t.o the fa~t. t.hat for the first time in the hi tory of the Ho pital th r has b en dunng t.he year an open and unre tricted clinic on six day in th w k. H r tofor the Out-Pati nt Department has b en re trict d on two day. in th we k (Tuesdays and Thursdays) when only the more n c ~itous a~ w~r seen from 7 a.m. till 10 a.m. Thereaft r th urgeon 111 charge earned out operations in the out-patient theatre, mo tly on trichiasi a . \ Yith the appointment of olonel Ain worth to our taft in July , 1 n27, it wa. obvious that the Hospital would ben fit mo t if hi act.i\-itie w r not mainly confined to out-patient work. H nee th tim table wa ["vi eel, the h\'o senior surgeons dividing th day and the 110 pital bed ", 'Cnfortunately thi arrangement oon led to h~,ro untoward r sults; fu U:) we saw in the Out-Patient Department more patient t.han \\' could attend to, admit or operate upon; condly, owing t.o tll' for 'going and to the need of the third urgeon toa i tat op rations anc1 alo to attend to the ophthalmia clinic, the bulk of the work of treating the " old ae " devolved upon the si t r-in-charg. Inde d but for th fortuilon ' and voluntary help of 'Mrs. George tuart, M.B., in th firt half of the y ar, and of Dr. J. E. Shelley in the remainder the ch m could not ha v work d at all. As it was the visitation and in pect.ion of th clinic wa practically suspended. However, the arrang ment ha r ult. d in a ubstantial increa e in the number of th int.ra-ocular operation p dorm d. In 1928, 707 intra-ocular operation w re don , including 271 on th In ' for cataract. This has to be compar d with 442 and 22:~ re p cti\-ely for the year 1927. But again I wi h to empha ize the fact t.hat thi increase wa only made pos ible by the voluntary h Ip of a " fourth" surgeon, a circumstance that i not lik ly to recur. It is also of interest to note that although the attenclanc showed a rise proportional to the general increas very y reopening of the Hospital, reaching the peak of over 19 per they fell suddenly to 13 per cent. in 1928. Consequent on the increasing number of intro-ocular ca es admitt d and the fact that these cases require longer after-treatment in Ho pital , the number of patients admitted during the year is falling steadily and the duration of stay in Hospital rising. For example in 1924 th r were 1,676 patients admitted to Hospital and the duration of stay was 7'6 d~y per person; whereas in 1928 the admi sions were 1,270 and the duratIOn of stay averaged 10'5 days . Of the 20,390 new cases 1,813 were" blind in one eye (8'n p rcent.) ; and 441 were" blind" in both (2'1 per cent.). The number of individuals who were" blind" in one or both eyes was 2,254 (11 P r c nt.). As in previous reports the term" blind" includes not only the totally but also the economically "blind"; this latter category include those whos 11

vi ion do not com up to the standard of vision reckon~d as the ability t.o count fingers at a distanc of one metre. The followmg table shows th incidence of " blinc1ne s " since 1919. I

Therefor n arly 70 pre nt. of this blindne s can be traced directly or inclir ctly to acut conjunctiviti. Thi disease, although always pr sent t.o ome xt nt in the Holy Land. assume. epidemic.form. hortly after the on t of the hot weather and continues WIth mcreasmg VIrulence until th on et of the rain in November. The e epidemic hay been incr a ingly vere since 1926. This coincides with the shortage of r.ain in th wint. r of these year. The epidemic of la t year was espeCIally virulent. The acut cases numbered 4,810 (forming 23 ' 5 per cent. of the new cas s as against 21'4 per cent, of 1927); but the virulence was evidenced in the high incidence of corneal ulceration. 1,529 of the ca s of acute conjunctivitis were complicated by ulceration of the cornea (nearly 32 per cent.) and of th se 542 were perforating. '" hen compared with 1927 , which wa al 0 a bady ar, the increa e i triking as the corn al

ulceration then wa 752 case (17 per c nt.) and the numbcr of those that had perforated 280. As I have already pointed out this i the caus of the increase of " blindness" this year, as the sight in the majority of tho e complicat d with ulceration is irr parably damaged. The incidence of trachoma was 91'3 per cent. This i remarkably high; in 1927 it was 86 per cent. and in 1926 78 per c nt. part of thi triking rise may be due to th decreas d number of ] w att nding, \vho are the least infected in Palestine, together with the till greater increase in the number of 1\10 lems attending, who ar th mo t infect d. But I believe it to be an actual increase, due to th pread of trachoma by the sever epidemics of acute conjunctivitis which have charact riz d the past three year ; there is no doubt that the contagion of trachoma is very frequently conveyed in this way. This incr a e i disappointing but it goes to emphasize the fact that I have so often insist d on in the reports, that acute conjunctivitis i the chief n my and like it ally trachoma, the fruit of dirt and indolence. 810 patient were te ted for gla e and G02 pre cription w re gi\' n ; the remainder howed insufficient vi ual improvement to warrant thi , owing to the presence of irregular astigmati m or otherwi . Th numb 'r of patients tested has fallen con iderably even ince 192G wh n 1 ,037 were examined; but it is becoming physically impo ible for th urgeon to do refraction work as well as run an out-pati nt d partm nt almo t inglehanded. Indeed but for the help of Dr. hell y the numb r of patients tested last year would have been very much 1 In the " X" Ray department 26 photograph w r tak ' l1; and in 4 cases intra-ocular foreign bodie were localized by the w et' apparatu-. No" X " Ray therapy was attempted. The" Clinic cheme" continues to work well although it is regr it cl that they were only visited once during the year. For n xt y ar th ' Committee have decided that the clininc must be vi it d quarterly ; this is a wise and welcome decision and the surgeon need no long r be troubled by the thought that while on tour he leave much work behind him that can never be overtaken. Dr. Allamuddin, the medical officer in charge of th Gov rnm n t Hospital at Amman, Trans-] ordania, attended a special cour and howed commendable interest and quick gra p of th e ntial of ophthalmology. Two surgeons of the Palestine Governm nt attend d for a " refresher" course. One Palestinian attended for initial training as an ophthalmic nurse; and four ophthalmic nurse r turn c1 for " refresher" courses. Two school nurses also attend d and w re giv n training suitable for the requirements of their work. The following is a table summarizing the work done at the various clinics during the year.

REPORT

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL

The valu of the work that is being done at these clinics is great. The number of operations performed, mainly for trichiasis, is excellent and exceeds the number of trichiasis operations done at the Hospital of th Order. This i as it should be, as it leaves this Hospital freer for more important work. But I do not suggest that we are now able to cope with the str am of trichiasis case that still reach s us; far from it , but it is :ome satisfaction to know that even if the e cases have to return from J ru al m unrelieved th re is still a clinic in their area where the operation may b [fici ntly don. As it is these trichiasis cases still form too large a proportion of our operative work; this y~ar it was 51 per cent. but happily show a steady decr ase ince the year 1924 when the proportion was 66 P r c n t. Th work of Dr. Haddad, late of Tulkeram and now of Acre, and of Dr. Bodo ian of Raml eh is to be pecially commended. In addition to many oth r duties th e doctors conduct large ophthalmic clinic and th work done th re i carrying their reputations as good surgeons b , 'ond III ir O\\'n ar a . To r'turn to the affair of the Hospital, the outstanding event of the year \Va the vi it of H. .H. Princess -:\lary and Viscount Lascelles and party. Later Her Royal Highness was graciously pleased to agree to her donation of £50 bing expend d on surgical furniture to equip the ophthalmia clinic. Thi includ s an ophthalmic chair, a surgical dressing tab[ and a pecial tabl for the treatment of ophthalmia in infants. Th inter t of Th ir Excellencie The Lord and Lady Plumer in the work of the Ho pital n v r nagged and ha been a source of stimulu <mel in piration to u all. On leaving the Holy Land their Excellencies pr nl'd to the Ho, pital a carved oak bench for the use of the inpali nts, to b plac din th outer hall. . \mongst oth r gift of quipment mu t be mentioned the new operating tal 1 n an oil pump ba . Thi has proved a most u eful addition and as is u ual in such ca es wc wonder how w managed 0 long with the ' o[(lone .

The embroidered quilts ar b autiful. And Lady \Vatson ha the atisfaction of seeing her d partment growing in u fulness and becoming a ource of justifiable pri d to u all.

REPORT

192K

The Guild has increased in both numberc. and the amounl of money given during the past year. We have twenty-four new member, and th List as given below of what their subscriptions and donation hav enabled us to supply is, I think, most gratifying. An appr ciative letter of thanks from the Warden describes our whole con ignment as " calling for nothing but praise". The Ladies' Committee were asked by the Hospital Committee of the Order to help them over selecting a suitable Uniform for the l'IIatron in Jerusalem, We submitted suggestions which were pas ed by Chapt rGeneral. We are proud to have been able to be of use in thi manner. A very pleasing feature of the year's work has been the great interest taken in the work of our Guild by the members of the Brigade, both at home and Overseas. Twelve Bedspread Centres have been undertaken by the Fort Garry ursing Division in Canada, and the Members of the ursing Divisions in o. 1 Prince of Wales District have supplied over 100 beautiful Shawls for which the Committee are most grateful.

\\T ar very glad to w lcom Lady Plumer on our Committee. Whil t Lord Plum r \Va High Commi ioner in Palestine, both he and Lady Plum r con t.antly show d t.h ir intere t in the Ho pital, so we felt that Lady Plumer's advice on our Committee would be most helpful and valuabl . ::\Irs. Perowne vjsited the lIo pital in Jerusalem during the summer of 1028, and had the pleasur of seeing the bed in several Wards covered with the sp cial Bedspread with the beautifully embroidered Badge of the Order. really beautiful ight, and the pride and joy of the entir Ho pit.al taff. Th Linen Guild has taken over the cost of the Needlework in the Lin n Room at J eru alem, amounting to about £20 per annum, thu further relievjng the Fund of the Ho pital. As the knowledge of the work our Guild is able to do spreads, 0 I am sur will our Membership increase. The larger our number of Vic Prcsid nts and Member , the more we are able to do for our Hospital.

THE Director of the Ambulance Department and the Ambulance Committee of the Order have the honour to submit the following report of the work of the t. John Ambulance Association for the information of His Royal Highn ss the Grand Prior and the Chapter-General. During the year there has been a considerable increase in the INSTRUCTION. number of certificates issued through the medium of Centres and d tach d classes at home. The increase amounts to over 5,000 and, as will be seen from the tabl below, is apparent in each subject taught by the s ociation (except anitation) and includes both men and women, which i highly satisfactory. Th ' work of the As ociation overseas continues to expand, especially in the Luger Dominions; in each of these the Centres or Central Councils~ a_ the case may b continue to remain thoroughly active. In this connection the Canadian Branch deserves special mention, having issued during the year 7, 01 certificates and a total of 12,555 awards. .\mong new d tach d classes held overseas and at home may be mention d \Viesbaden (for Boy couts), hanghai, Cyprus, Egypt (for the H.oyal Air Force), Tidworth (for the R.A. I.e.), and a number orgL nizcd through the co-operation of the J e'wish Health Organization of Great Britain. 1 hrough th medium of Centres and detached classes at home and ov r ea the A ociation has issued during the year 11,551 medallions, :2 ,113 labels, and -1,375 p ndants; in each case an increase on the figure . for last y ar and a total increase of 4,076; the number of rexamination voucher issued through detached classes was 4,908. The numher of certificates issued in England, Ireland, and \-Vales during the year is a follows:192 7,234 1,0 2 5,-178 6 202

It may be interesting to record that the grand total of certificates is ued to 30th ept mber, 1922, as published in the Annual Report that year, was 1,520,313. That total did not take into account all the c rtiflcate issued by Overseas Centres, compl te figures not invariably being available on th publication of the Annual Report; but calculating on the same principle the grand total to date is 1,756,613. The approximate total of c rtificates issued by Overseas Centres is 501,768 : it v\TOuld b inaccurate to suggest that the grand total of certificat s issued by the t. John Ambulance Association is the sum of these figure, nam 1y, 2,258,3 1, but it may be regarded as an approximate figure.

The number of Depots established in London as the result of grants made by the A sociation from funds placed at its disposal by the unday Cinema Fund Committee of the Order is now nine, D epots b eing m xistence in areas controlled by the following Units of the Brigade : Brixton JUl'sing (~ o. 41) Division. Dagenham Ambulance (9-1:) Ea t Croydon Nursing (" 36) Enfield Tursing (" 46) larden uuurb Nursing (" 49) outhall ursing ( 55) Tottenham and Edmonton ursing ( 56) \\1althams tow 1\' ursing (" 11) Eichmond 1\ ursing (" 26) \Yherever the e Depots have been establi hed they have filled a muchfelt want and have be n of the greatest value to the necessitous poor. During the past twelve months the activities of this department have been well maintained, a total number CORPS. of 1,789 removals having been made. The distance travelled by ach ambulance is shown in the table below. )lany of the individual journeys have been of considerable length, and among ~ t th"m the followina may be mentioned: Farnham to Bakewell, 11 mile ; Truro to Bowes Park, 515 miles; H eadcorn to hrewsbury, -100 mile ; Benenden, Kent, to Cragy- os, near eath, outh \\'ale , ·1)3 miles; ~Iold to Eltham, 413 miles; Torquay to Potters Bar, 15 miles; and I ing George Dock, London, to 11anchester , 122 mile. The last deserve special mention. The invalid was a very 'erious ca , uff ring, it was stated, from a broken neck as the result of an accident when diving in Australia. He had undergone an operation in Melbourne when two cervical vertebrae were removed; he had travelled from ~Ielbourne to the Docks as above, and the doctor in charae had _ome doubt as to the ability of the invalid to tand the furth ~ r journey by road, which ,"vas, however, safely accomplished to the entire sati faction of all concerned. l\Iany other road journeys have be n made of from one to two and three hundred miles, which are now con ide red to be quite ordinary runs. During the period under review this department was approached with a view to th tran port of the sick children of poor parents. This work was undertaken. ome 50 little sufferers have been dealt with, and help has also be n afforded in connection with the Children's Hospital, in removing case:-, principally suffering from heart trouble, al 0 many blind and otherwise sick and di abled persons have been removed for Institutions d aling with such cases; the whole of the e cases mu~t be included under the definition of the" ick Poor", small iees only being paid, but it is felt that it i a service which will at once appeal to the philanthropic spirit of the member of the Order. The transport of sick and disabled ex-soldiers and sailors has been continu d throughout the year, and the following table will show at a glance the distances covered by each ambulance owned by the Associa tion : INVALID

B arrangement with the Ehondda Borough Education Committee, the Priory macle itself responsible for the administration of the Ambulance training in the evcning continuation classes and it is generally agreed thn. t the chan rIC has proved bcneficial and there is a likelihood of similar arrangements being made with other Authorities. The inauguration of the Police -ational First Aid Competition was a definite _t P fOD\'ard , and one \vhich will have a far-reaching effect on th' public welfare. ':\lembers of the Police Forces in \Vales do much to encourage people to train in ambulance in the districts in which they arc tationed; many of them join the Brigade and do very useful work. The Priory i ~ grateful to the Hon. Mrs. Robert Devereux, Lady President for Brecknockshire, for the handsome trophy she has vested in the Priory for competition in the No.8 Police District, which includes \Yales, Monmouth hire, and the Border County of Hereford. Comp titions continue to be an effective means of stimulating interest and maintaining efnciency, and the Priory is grateful for the gift of eleven new trophic. There arc now eventy cup, shields, and trophies vested in the Trustees for annual competition in the various Centres. Once again the Priory \\'as asked to organize ambulance competitions at the H.oyal \Vel h Agricultural Society's Show at \\rexham. In addition to open contcsts for teams of men and nurses, ambulance men in the ounty of Denbigh had the special privilege of competing for a trophy given by 11r. James A. Darlington, Chairman of the Denbighshire Centre, for competition by teams whose members were resident or employed in the County. The \\' 1 h Eailway Compctition for the (( Harry vVebb" Cup took place in Cardiff on the 1st November, 1928. A large gathering of Railway Officials and Ambulance workers attended and the trophy was presented to the Pontypool " A " G.W.R. team by the donor, ir Harry \Vebb, Bart. The No. 8 District Police Competition promises to become one of the most important ambulance events of the year. The Priory organized th e competition at the request of the District Secretary, Chief Con table J. A. vVilson, O.B.E., and the Hon. l\lr . Robert Devereux was able to attend and present her trophy. The Voluntary Aid Detachment Scheme has not made much progres , T

THE ST. JOH

but as a result of a communication the Commissioner for Wales recently addressed to Nursing Divisions of the Brigade there are now signs of advancement in this direction, and several unit have decided to enrol. The Motor Ambulance Transport Service is an increa ingly important branch. In 1928 the cars carried £1,533 cases, and the mileage was 93,413i. This represents an increase of 621 cases, and 13,676} miles on the previous year. In accordance with the terms of the Home Office decision that Colliery Owners entering into a contract with the Priory for the use of its ambulances will be deemed as complying with their statutory obligations in regard to ambulance transport, fifty-one colliery companies and nine works ,,,ere affiliated to the Service in 1928 and sixty-three workmen's Lodges are subscribing; over 56,000 men are in thi - way entitled to a call upon the service at any time of the dJ.y or night in case of accident or sickness to themselves or any member of their family. The provision of adequate ambulance transport presented considerable difficulty owing to the many changes in the coalfield and, once again, a grant from the Miners' \Velfare Fund, which has enabled the excellent standard of the Service t o be maintained, has to be acknowledged with gratitude. Three new ambulances were purchased to replace old cars and a new station was opened at Pencoed. The report of the Medical Comforts Depots records a distinct 1eap forward in the attack on sickness and disease, five new Depots \vere opened, a larger number of articles issued, and greater as istance given in the actual care of the sick. Most satisfactory are the reports from each of the thirty-five Depots, and a special feature of the year's working is their increasing value, both as centres for the distribution of invalid equipment and for the practical assistance given in the nursing of the sick. :\lany are regarded almost as public clinics; accident cases are brought in for treatment, the nurses visit patients in their homes, and quite an appreciable part of the work is the advice and assistance freely given by those in charge. His Majesty the King, on the recommendation of Chapter-General, was graciously pleased to sanction the following admissions to and promotions in the Order in recognition of valuable service to the Priory:OFFICERS. Evans, Major \iVilliam Owen, M.B.E., L.R.C.P. Hann, Edmund Lawrence.

ABRIDGED REPORTS FROM CENTRES.

The centre reports a very marked increase in the number of students instructed at the classes. The railway department is now offering every encouragement to its personnel to acquire a knowledge of nrst aid. The calls upon the ambulance service were rather less than during the previous year. The district nurses perform one of the mo t valuable parts of the work, no less than 5,323 visits having been paid by them during the course of the year. It is gratifying to note that the greater part of the donation which reach the centre from time to time are ent by grateful patients who feel impelled to help the centre out of their often slender resources. The centre has sustained a great loss by the death of two of its members, Mr. R. W . Glendinning and lr. C. Speight. DUNEDIN.

The centre has formed seven first aid classes and one h orne n ur mg . c1as d ' th e year. Th e B oroug h Council unng and the Harbour Board have urged their employees to take a course of first aid in truction. NEW PLYMOUTH .

The work of the two departments of the Order is now carried on from one building which was erected in 1927. The centre endeavour as far as possible to follow up its classes by inviting certificate holder to join the Brigade and by providing facilities for them to do so. The work of the centre continues to progress, the year's WELLINCTON . activitic howing a marked increase over former years. The annual meeting wa pre ided oyer by the Mayor of \Vellington in the ab ence of Hi Exc llency the Governor-General through indisposition. The di trict nur ing Guild has again carried on much valuable work. During the year ~,:2.D7 vi its were paid by the nurses to patients in their o\vn homes, and ' :31 ca es were treated at the office of the Guild. WANCANUI .

Owing to continued ill-health Ir. C. G. Dowthwaite was CAP E TOWN . compelled to resign in April and his duties \\'ere taken over by ~Ir. A. ~L Ander on. The competitions for the Drysdale Bowl and \Valker hield were held as usual, and in each event a very high standard of efficiency was attained. The usual number of classes have been held with good result. Excursions of ambulance workers have been made to some outlying towns under the regis of the centre, and exhibitions of first aid given with the idea of furthering and extending the work. The effort has been the means of new clas e being formed. The annual competitions in connection \"Iith the trophie presented by the Directors of the De Beers Consolidated Mines, Limited, were held as usual. CRIQUALAND

THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER.

ApPOINTMENTS . H.R.H. the Grand Prior was pleased to sanction the following appointments: Assistant Commis ioner (Reserve) Frederick Sprawson as County Commissioner for the County of Somers~t, 18th November, 1927. Assistant Commissioner (Reserve) William Edward Audland, M.B.E., M.R.C. ., as County Commissioner for Oxford, 17th February, 1928.

The calls made for the services of Brigade personnel show a large increase, and in no small way confirms the opinion that the Brigrtde is b ecoming more widely known and is now recognized a~ being of great national importance. That this happy state of affairs exists is due to the increasing amount of support given t o the efforts of the Brigade by the police, municipal authorities, and the public. The importance of having th e support of the civic authorities for a movement so directly affecting the welfare of those under their care cannot be overrated, and a the Brigade is non-political and unsectarian its "velfare may well be the concern of Corporations or Town Councils in the town where Division exi.st . Many Corporations and Town Councils throughout the country have shown kindness, hospitality, and practical help in the introduction and maintenance of Brigade Uni.ts. I therefore desire to place on record in the name of the Brigade my grateful thanks to tho e civic authorities who have done, and are still doing, 0 muc:-t to further the intere ts of the movement and encourage our personnel in carrying out their work. Details of the immen-e amount of duty undertaken in 1928 w1ll be found on reference t o the ommi sioner ; reports. n analy. i of the return show that 317,671 cases of accident and sudden illne received attention. In addition, there were many thousands of unrecorded ca es. The Brigade supp1ied personnel for the 58th Brigade Roya.l Artillery Camp at , eaford during two weeks in the summer, and 3. number of Ambulance isters went into camp with the Girl Guides, Girls' Life Brigade, etc. That their service were appreciated is evident from the increase in the number of applications received for them to attend again in 1929. •

PUBLI C DUTY .

Sir, I have the hononr to submit my fifth Annual R eport acting Chief Commissioner of the ~ t. John Ambulance Brigade. In looking back on the twelve month preceding the date of this Report, I can point with sati faction to the amount of earne t work done by Brigade Units and the great keenne. s which it ha created among its members. The Commissioners' reports confirm that the high stat e of efficiency, good disdpline, and progress recorded in the past have been fully maintained. STRENCTH .

The high percentage of cadets transferring to Brigade, reported last year , has been .maintained, and in one instance a Nursing Division and a Voluntary AId Detachment were registered solely of Girl Cadets who had reached the age of 18 years.

The attendance at Civic Hospitals has been well mamtame ' d an d xp nence . . d'111 t h'IS war k"IS mva1ua bI e. game WO RK. . The Lady uperintendent-in-Chief has worked extremely hard. m connection with this particular side of the Brigade's activities, as wlll be seen from her most interesting report. In regard to District work our ~ ursing members have been particularly helpful; numerous cases are on record where they have nursed, under professional guidance, the sick poor day and night, attended clinics, schools, and welfare centres for mothers. The fine work carried out in Dublin, where expectant mothers are looked after and supplied with a good daily meal and allowance of milk, is most commendable. In Preston the Division have a Flower Mission, and friends with gardens or greenhouses are invited to contribute a few flowers which are collected and taken weekly to decorate the wards of the I nfirmary.

Visiting me~ber say a few words to the patients in bed, especially the lonely one. and those who have no friends visiting them and no letters t o cheer them. The e fev,' fact how that our mbulance iter set no bound to their activity when they can find work which ameliorates distress ann suffering. AMBULANCE TRANSPORT SERVICE.

I am plea ed to report the Brigade po e es orne of the fine t ambulance in the country. During the year many new ambulances have been given t o, or purchased by enits. Great as. istance in this connection ha' be n received from tho e who desire to perpetuate the memory of a departed rchti e, and in many ca e<; ha originated owing to the care and kintlne 's _hOW11 by our Brigade members to the famil y concerned, or to th" town. Much energy is di played in rai ing fund ' to purcha e new car, and the scheme. put in operation to attain this end are manv and variou . The rr.aintenance nf an Ambulance is expensive, and -it i therefore mo t creditable to tho e concerned that practicall without exception the neces. arv funds have been found for thi - ervice. The amount of work carried out free of charge, especially accident case, is very large, as will be seen from the following fiuure , 'which cover the activities of 106 ambulances of the number in commi. ion.

I cannot do better than to append extracts from the Inspecting ~Iedical Officer's report to the Director-General, ~ aval Medical Services. 1. Strength.-The Re erve ha been maintained at full strength curing the year. 2. Training. - 999 ratings underwent training during the year. This represents 78'3 per cent. of th e t otal complement, as compared with 74'3 per cent. in 1927 and with 77'2 per cent., the average for the previous four years. The increase in the number trained is probal1ly accounted for by the revised arrangements which provide for ratings who reside in mallpox re tricted areas being permitted to train if they have been vaccinated during the past five years. Forty-nine ratings have been vaccinated since the revised arrangement came into force and were permitted to train. It is anticipated that during the coming year a still grea.ter percentage will undergo training as a result of this ar[(m~ement. 3. Inspections.-During the year I inspected the Reservists belonging to 19 Corps and Divisions of the St. John Ambulance Brigade at two centres, namely, London and Bristol. The attendance was somewhat lower than in recent years, 73'2 per cent.

The majority of the reservists who were excu ed attendance were unable to obtain release from their employment, the remainder werc prevented by sicklJes from attendin a . A high standard of efficiency was attained by the re ervists, both in London and Bristol. The men were smart, well disciplined, and di played most satisfactory abilitv in the variou First Aid Tests which were set. 4. ~Tursing Certificates.-During the year it has been notified that 43 reservists have obtained the t. John. mllulance Association ursing Certificate. Ninety-two reservists have not yet been granted this certificate, all of whom are Probationary ,ick Berth Attendants.

It is gratifying to be able to report that units of the Brigade realize the importance of thi work and are gradually increasing their activities in this direction. In many counties permanent Roadside Huts have been erected, especially in the East and West Ridings of Yorkshire, Bucks, Kent, Lancashire, Cheshire, ancl Cumberland, and it is hoped that in time many such huts will he in evidence, manned by our personnel, in all counties where the Brigade exists. Those who are undertaking road duty are the pioneers of the greatest scheme the Brigade have yet undertaken. The scheme opens up a sphere of activity which gives to all Divisions, large or small, a wider scope for putting into practice knowledge gained. ROAD SERVICE

The benefit which the depots confer on the sick and needy is incalculable,

as will be seen when one depot alone reports having lent, in three years, over 1,430 articles. I have no hesitation in believing that the Brigade win continue to increase in numbers each year, and the power of relieving pain and saving hf~ which ~s implied in that fac~ is enormous . The desire to join our ranks IS reachmg all grades of socle~y, ~ll ages, and all professions; the Brigade is a humanizing f~ctor, It gives t.he skill which follows upon knowledge, and the nerve .WhICh f?llows on shU.

Report of the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief for 1928. Sir, I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending 31st December, 1928 . During the year I ha vc in spected the following Nursing Divisions :- In No. 3 (\Y tern) Di trict: H eadquarters, Nelson, Edgbaston, Handsworth Pharmclcy, Eroington, Bou rnville, Winchester House and Central with \Vinchcstcr H ou e and Handsworth Cadet Nursing Divi. ions which form thc Birmingham Corp. In _ o. 9 District: the Plymuuth Corps consisting of Plymouth Co-operative, Devonport, Friary, Sherwell, and Ford :\:"ur ing Divi ion, and Forrl, Devonport, Sherwell, Plymouth Central, Friary, and alta h Cadet Divisions. I was very much impre sed with the vcry fine parael I found 3 t Plymouth of the Nursing 1 nits and also the Cadet. It i very gratifying to find the close co-operation which exists behveen the _ mbulancc and the _ ursing Division. Thc tran port work th yare doin eY with the Ambulances is really wonderful. I attended a meeting at Buxton, and yva delighted \\'ith the cn thu ia, m shown, and I very much hope that we shall hortly have revivec1 a Di"'i. ion there, as they did such splendid work in the war.

The attendance at the Civil Ho pital i. wcll maintained, . . d b y t h e memlJer 1-' 1. k an d t h e expenence game In t 11. wor ' is invaluable. Quite a number of member. have att nd d hospital on one ur two days a week for many year ~ , and I feel ure thc e member must be very useful at the hospitals which they attend. The following letter of appreciatiun from the Chairman of the H. o~'al London Ophthalmic Hospital has been received : " ~lay I say how grateful we arc for the scrvice which your nur e are rendering at this hospital. At the present time we find our. elve in a predicament owing to the fact thctt we are understaffed on account of a shortage of rooms for nurses. n cxtcnsion for nur e is planned, but that will take time. In the meanwhile the Ord r of t. J ohn 1 helping us in a way we greatly appreciate. vVe find your nurses keen, intelligent, and efficient . Our patients have also ~poken of their kindness.' , At this hospital during the year members of the Brigade have worked 2,958 hours and in addition we have supplied one member at a time for 36 weeks' resident duty. At the London T emperance H ospital again this year wc supplied two resident members for the six months ~lay to October. Thcse members were drawn from No.6 District with th e exception of one from _TO. 3 (Eastern) District. Six members were detailed to cover the whole six months. The Matron has expressed herself as very satisfied with their work, and is most grateful for their help. She will be glad to receive similar help next year. Another _ratron expresses a wish that more applicants for hospital training were of the type of the S.JA.B. member now serving voluntarily. H OSPITAlS .

Eo pital duty carried out in other Districts than London is as follows : No. 2 Di. trict, Buckinghamshire, 452 attendances at the following hospitals: R oyal Bucks, Ayle bury; Chesham Cottage Hospital ; Windsor Hospital and Princess Alice H ome for Disabled Soldiers; ~ ewpo rt Pagnell Orthopcedic Clillic ; Buckingham Cottage H ospital. III addition, two Ambulance Sisters each attended . t. Bartholomew's H ospital, Roche ter, for three week. Again tbi year )'Ir.

Bournemouth followed with "135 mark " and thi team carried off the Corbet Fletcher Cup. THE PERROTT SHiElD .

Thi year how a very large increase in the number of Girl Guide amp attended by Brigade members. Fortyfour application were received, with all of which we were able to deal sati factorily. Thi i more than double the number for last year. - early all the camps are held in the last week of July and the first two weeks of Augu. t, so I do trust members will endeavour to volunteer for that period. Another difficulty is that so many of the camp. are in the South, and so it is not possible to make use of all the members who apply from the North on account of the expen e of travelling. There was also a shortage of members volunteering from the South, and I do trust th e Commi sioners in the outh will kindly do everything they can to get u~ more member for this work. A still further increase of applications for our members is to be anticipated a" the cheme becomes more generally known among t the Guide Organization, . That th e help the Brigade memher are able to give is fully appreciated IS shown not only by the increase in applications but by various letters of thank. received from Camp Commandants. I do feel very strongly that we need to encourage more and more th e forming of Section of Divisions in all the villages of England. With the large number of motor accidents and other casualties when the doctor is out on his round, it is so important that there should be GIRL GUIDE CAMPS .

qualified people on the spot to render Fir t Aid. On the other hand, I have realized lately, through living more in the country, the very great difficulties of training people in these scattered neighbourhoods. I think if we could draw the attention of members of the Order to this need perhaps they would help to form Divisions or ection of Divi ions in the villages where they live. I can ay from experience that the people in the country are only too ready to go to clas es, and orne will walk several miles if classes are arranged for them. In the county of Somerset, in a tiny village, the local Divi ion of the Brigade there entertained the 1inehead Divi ion, and al 0 representatives of the newly-formed outh 1Iolton Division in .i orth Devon. They came 18 and 12 miles respectively, and had a combined Ambulance Display followed by a sit down supper. I mention thi becau e I think such meeting do an enormous amount of good in country districts, and it md.~T be a uggestion to other . Finally, I mu t refer to the very loyal upport I have had from all the Lady Di trict SuperiIltendents and Lady Di trict Officers in the Brigade, who have unsparingly worked in the interests of the Nursing Divisions. I beg to remain, ir, Your obedient servant, ETHEL PERROTT, lady uperintendcn t-in-Chicf.

I regret to report the death of the following Officers during the year : Lady Supenntendent :\1rs. Brunton, Enfield Nursing Division. DIVISIonal Surgeon Dr. Xelson Younger, South :vIetropolitan Gas Corps. Lady Superintendent :\llss Sadler, Ley ton and Leytonstone Xursing Division. The Ofhcers' Annual Dinner and Dance took place on the 1st December at the Great Central Hotel. As usual, Lady \YdklDson and yourself honoured us with your pre ence, a compliment which IS greatly appreciated by the District. Major Tomlin, Chief Constable of the ?l1et.ropohtan PolIce, four Executive Officers of the Order, and several DistrIct Commissioners were present, besides other guests; the total number dming was 2 1. As a novelty, a display was made of all the Cups, etc., competed for In the DistrIct, including the two new ones presented by Lady DistrIct OffIcer Robinia VIscountess :\Iountgarret and the late Hon. Elsie McKay respecbvely. Dlstnct Officer CaptalD Franks agalD acted as Dinner Secretary, and It was largely owing to his untirIng energy that it was such a success. The Annual DistrIct CompebtlOns agalD roused much lDterest, and the Trophies, after the FlDal CompetItions, were presented to the WlDners by the Lady SuperIlltendent-lD-Chlef.

The District Competitions haye now reached a point, O"\,ving to the numerous entries which I am pleased to see, that Headquarters finds it increasingly difficult to deal with so many. I think It will be necessary in the near future for each Area to hold preliminary Competitions to select the entries for the Final Tests, and the permission that you have given me to nominate a ounty Surgeon to each Area will be a great assistance III carrying out this arrangement. The amount of public duty has increased enormously, as you will see from the Public Duty Officers' Reports, but, with the large personnel available, we can carry out quite easily any extra work that the Commissioners of the City and Metropolitan Police may require. As an example of the number of duties performed, I may state that during the summer months, personnel had to be provided for race meetings. dog racing, and dirt track meetings, all of which averaged forty to fifty meetings a week. These numerous meetings entai led much work on the part of the Public Duty Officers, Lady District Superintendent Miss Rideout, and District Officer Captain Goodley, and I should like to bring to your notice the excellent manner in which these Officers performed their arduous duties. During the year a few additions have been made to the District Staff. District Officer F. W. Clifford, on the Reserve List, has returned to the active staff, and has b een appointed District Officer for the Southern Area. Superintendent \Y. G. Green, No. 64 Kentish Town Division, has been promoted District Officer to assist District Officer Piers in the Stores Department, the work in which has become so

ver y considerable. Superintendent C. T. Osborn, o. 20 Hampstead Division, has been promoted District Officer for the orthern Area. The earlier forwarding than usual of this r epor t is la r gely due to the excellent manner in which District Officer Burton, the DIstrict ecretary, k eeps the records. I should like to draw your attention to the valuabl e work that this Staff Officer performs. He never fails throughout the . . "hole year to attend at Headquarters two nights a week to perform his duty, in addition to doing much of the work at hOJ?e. .He finds, after a careful analysis of the records, that wa tage in 192 from resIgnatIons, r emovals for inefficiency, etc., i 7 per cent. of the total. It would be very interesting to me to know if this is about the percentage that occurs in other Districts. I beg to thank very sincerely the Assistant Commissioners, District Officers and a~l Divi~ional Officers for their great loyalty to me, and th e help that th ey invariably gIve mem all matters connected with the work of the Di trict. \Vithout thIS support an~ the c<;>-operatIon of the Rank and File, whi ch IS also 0 readily gl\'en, It would be ImpossIble for me to carryon th e work of the District. a It has of recent years so largely increased. I enclose copies of reports from the Assi tant Commis ioners in charge of Areas, from the Publ1c Duty Officers, and one from Lady :\Iountgarret on the \ ' . .D.s.

"I?is?ict Officer Osborn has been recently appointed as my Dlstnct Officer, and It IS a great pleasure and advantage to me to have the assIstance of so capable an Officer.

Copy of report from Assistant Commissioner Dr. Ernest lUcIntvre SO THERN AREA:- , "I beg to report that the work of the Southern Area has been carried on successfully during the past year, and the keenness which was marked last year has been excee~ed. The numbers have increased satisfactorily, and more classes have been held, whIch have supplied quite a number of recruits. The general tone of the Area is very good. " ':fhe response to the call of the' road scheme' was, on the whole, good, but I consIder that there is room for improvement in this, though in fairness to the personnel of the Area, I must state that the calls for local duties arc hard to meet owing to the enormous size of the Area. ' " I have personally inspected a great many of the local duties and found them well worked. " The social side of the work has not been nealected the Area having held its first Social, which was well attended and quite su~cessful.

In March last, H<l:gg ~ rston, which promoted (and still maint<l:i~s). one of the . earlIest Ambulance Umts III the Brigade, established a ursmg DIVISIon, and so mcreased the strength of Central Area to 27 DIvisions, with a total personnel of 1,112, whereby new records were created. " The response to the calls of District and Local Public Duties throughout the year has been exce llent, and several cases of exceptional service were duly reported and earned your approbation.. . , . . , " As m previous years, I have kept 10 clos~ to~ ch WIth all DIvislOns whIch I have visited, eli.her personally, or through my Dlstnct Officers, and I have found that our bi-monthly meetings of Officers afford a most valuable means of furthenng our better acquaintance and of solving many problems and diffic.ultie~. To the same end our Monthly Gazette, now in ItS fO,urth year, has b ~en ,of mestImable v,alue. " During the yea r the questIon of Dnll for ursmg DIviSlOns was much dIscussed, and entral Area became the proud possessor of the first Area Trophy, the A. lVI.

" I have the honour to submit my report as Public Duty Officer for the year 1928, and append herewith a summary showing the number of personnel on duty and the cases treated. " Amongst the important street duties during the year were Earl Haig's Funeral, visit of the King of Afghanistan, Trooping of the Colour, Opening of Parliament (twice), Lord Mayor's Day, and Armistice Celebrations, all of which were carried out satisfactorily and with credit to the District. Of the many special dub es performed, probably the most outstanding was the Limbless Ex-Service Men 's Excursion to Brighton on 29th July, organized by the News of the World. This duty was supervised by me, assisted by four Officers, a similar number of N.C.O .s, and sixtee~ o~her ranks, and I would like to take this opportunity of expressing my appreciatlOn of the loyalty and assiduity of all ranks on this occasion.

"The Motor and Greyhound Racing Tracks, nu mbering at times over 4.0 ~eetings each week, made a heavy call on the services of the members of the Dlstnct, .but I am pleased to record that the duties have been well covered.

"The ordinary Race Meetings, Exhibitions, etc., have all been satIsfactorIly staffed, and these, together with the British Legion F~te at Chadwell Heath, from 6th until 13th October, and Bostock's Circus at Earl s Court, dally .f rom ~st December, have no doubt brought the utility of the Brigade to the public notIce more than ever . . "The Road Scheme has been carried on during the summer at various pOlllt~ on the main roads, although the control of traffic at some of the so-call.ed danger I?Olnts has to some extent made the need of First Aid posts at these POllltS not qUlte so presslllg, especially near London. At week-ends and holiday periods the read stations were efficiently staffed and many roads. patrolle~. . .

By demonstrating to their fellow citIzens th e value of rea~ly ~p-t?-date.ambulance work they were ready to come to their help. He had no ~lesItabon III saylllg ~hat the Road Service had developed more fully in Bucks than III any other ~ounty In England. He was indebted to them for the way the work had been carned out. It was a duty which entailed sacrifice but which was of real benefit to their fellow citizens. The Lord Li~utenar:t sta.te? he was sure everyone would wish to express their tha.n ks to .the Clllei CommIssIoner who had honoured the Brigade of the County by Inspecting them. It seemed to him that the need for the sen'lce of the St. John Am1:ula;;ce Br~gade ,~as increasing. Scientific men had shown them that" perpetual motIon . w~,s ImpossIble, but they seemed to be ~~tering upon an era of (, perpetual locomotIon and that meant an enormous ac1clItIon to the work of Lhe Hospitals and Ambulance Services. He was delighted to know that the en rgebc work of those who were members of the Brigade had put the County into the forefront. He knew that a great amount of 'w ork was done bv the BriO"ade in the ountyand how useful the Ambulance Organization was to the people generally. Col~nel PIxley, after referring to the activibes of the Order, saId that orne time ago Sir Percival 'W ilkinson conceived the idea of organizing the Orc! rand ItS fou~dations .on a County basis, and Bucks was one of the first countIes to take up the Idea, whIch had been most successful, and their organization was often referred to by Headquarters as an example to be followed. Major Disra~li thanked the Lord Lieutenant for his presence. ThIs InspectlOn was filmed under the direction of lr. J.

Public Duty.-:-First Aid was rendered to 2,356 sick and injured persons on public and other occaSlOns. Over 300 road accidents were also attended to. ::'Ilembers of the Tursing Divisions made 439 attendances at hospitals. Ambulance Transport. ine Divisions are in possession of motor ambulances. The number of cases carried by these Ambulances has more than doubl ed dunng the past two years. The increase over last year was 394. 26G cases have been removed free of charge and a considerable number at a reduced rate. 1,265 cases were carried, of which 323 were accident cases. The total milege was 21,-129 mIles. Road Servic~.-The S:entral Ambulance Stations are now linked up bv 27 FIrst AId Posts whIch are III operation during week -ends of the summer month at d~ngero.us places on the main roads. These are supplemented by 27 Roadside FIrst AId Boxes. . Th~ organizati?n at Slough, where the greatest number of accidents occur, is worklllg most sabsfactorily. These duties are performed by members of the Slough Town, Slough urslllg, and Slough Cadet Divisions who volunteer at the weekly pa~a.d~s. Memb~rs are posted at the most dangerous positions in the town. and the adj01l11l1g c~)Unbes of !"lldd~esex ~nd Berkshire, through which the Bath Road passes, are llllked up. with FIrst AId Posts at Colnbrook and Taplow respectively. At Co~nbrook a Tent l~ used fully: equipped with stretchers and necessary ambulance matenal. Day and mght duty IS undertaken at this Post in the summer months. At the Central Ambulance Station in the town a driver and attendant stand by the. motor ambulance. for calls. Cadets are used as messengers and in this way ,!sslstan~e can be o?tallled from the nearest Post. There are 7 First Aid Posts and ~ RoadSIde Boxes 1ll the Slough area. The su.ccess .of the scheme at Slough is to a great extent due to the close co-operabo~ WIth the Police, who on receiving notification of an accident or case of sudden ~llness know where to obtain speedy assistance, and when the motor ambulance IS called away they are notified of its destination and approximate hour of return. . Such a complete organ~zation has not up to the present been found necessary l~ other areas wh~re reqUlrements are met by one or two First Aid Posts or RoadSide Boxes; e.g. In the.

MBULA,'CE BRIGADE.

SIR,

I have the honour to submit my annual report for the year ending 31st D('ccmber, 1928, and to state that progress has been made numerically and III all-round efficiency. Two ne'" Ambulance Diyisions, the Portsmouth Cit\' Police and the \\'inchestt'r and District, were formed in 192 ', and they both gi~'e promise of being a great credi t to our organization. The effective strength of the Brigade in Hants, by which I mean UI\'isions that have actually done good practIcal work and rendered proper annual rdurns, IS 12 Ambulance Divisions, 10 Xursing Divisions, and 5 Cadet DI\'lSlOns. The personnel conSIsts of 97 officers and 736 other ranks, and It is hoped that with the advent of the Southern Railway Staff the strength of the Brigade will matenally increase in 1929. I deeply regret having to record the cleath in December, 1928, of \lrs. Bell, Lady Superintendent of the 'W oolston Kurslng DiVIsion. :\Irs. Bell had idt'ntilwcl herself in every way with the Division, and her demise is a very real loss WhlCh will be difficul t to overcome. Competitions.-The spirit of healthy competition shows, If pOSSible, a slight increase on the excellent tone prevalent in 1927, and I am proud to recorel the success of the Bournemouth Nursing Division in winning tbe Corbet,Fletcher Trophy, and being placed second in the Perrott Shield ompetitlon, U)28. Public DutJI.-This has been satisfactory, and WIth beach-huts and tents at Bournemouth, Southbourne, and Ah'erstone in full swing the number of casualties treated has been greatly increased . The greatest concentration was for the flying pageant at IIamble, where the whole of the First Aid arrangements were made by the Southampton orps. The casualties were, happily, of a minor nature, and 'were dealt with speedily and effecti vel y. lvlotor Ambulances.-There are now motor ambulances at Bournemouth, Lymington, and Calm ore ; the last-named having been transferred from Alverstoke, where it had performed highly creditable work for over four years under the capable su pervision of Supt. F. G. Salter, of the Alverstoke Ambulance Division . I am satisfied that all the motor ambulances arc now doing excellent work and being used to the best advantage . Finance.-The financial condition of the Divisions is, on the whole, satisfactory, and I can at least say that all are solvent. The credit for this rests entirely with the Divisional Superintendents, who have administered their funds with good judgment and tact. General.- I think it may be said that the Brigade in Hants has had one of its

most successful years in every respect. All ranks have worked with whole-hearted enthusiasm to increase our effiCiency, and my sincere thank~ are due to Dr. Bottomley (County Surgeon), Mrs. Chinery (Lady County Officer), Major Morse .(Co un~ O[fiCe~?: and the Corps and DIvisional OffIcers and members for all the hme an trou e they have taken in the advancement of the cause of the Order.

AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

SIR,

244.28

I have the honour to submit herewith my annual report. The year 192 has been one of sustained activity throughout the District, all ranks, both Ambulance and ursing, having shown keen enthusiasm in Brigade servIce and attendance. 11 have evinced a desire to do everything possible for maintainlllg and increasing the work amongst and for the benefit of the public. The publtc, on their part, have shown continued appreciation of the Brigade work in the DistrIct, by the acknowledgment of services rendered and in affording assistance, practIcal and financial, as cIrcumstances have demanded. Personnel.-There are 5 Di,"isions in the District, being an increase of five, made up of 47 Ambulance, 28 Nursing, and 10 Cadet Divisions. The total strength IS 2,490, as follows : -Officers' Ambulance Divisions, 117; other ranks, 1,194 ; total,I,311. Officers' ursing Divisions, 94; other ranks, 846; total, 940. Cadet Officers, 12; Cadets, 227 ; total, 239. Grand total, 2,490. Inspections.-A very good attendance has b een made at all Inspections. Two of the Inspections, both of which were combined parades, have been features of the year. The first, taken by yourself, when the whole of the Torthamptonshire Corps, comprising Northampton, Kettering, and \iVellingborough, was held in the most

publIc, mcludmg the Mayor and Mayoress of the County Borough of orthampton . . T?-~ other parade, taken by myself, was of the Leicester Corps, comprIsing 26 DnTJ.SlOns. Public Duties.-Over 70 Divisions have rendered public services during the year. At al.l ~owns in the District weekly attendances have been made at rugby and assoc.latlOn football matches, at indoor places of amusement, and large public meet~ngs. Attendances have also b ee n made at point-to-pomt races, aenal meetmgs, and other outdoor athletic gatherings. Cases Tyeated.-All Divisions report activity in the number of cases treated, over 19,000 persons being dealt with throughout the Distnct. TransP?yt.-This service has been well maintained. Over 3,500 persons having beel?- carned by the 16 Motor Ambulances, an approximate mileage of 1 ,750 miles havlllg been covered. The Police and Local Authorities have worked with the Brigade Members, and there has b een harmonious co-operation and appreclation shown one with the other. RecoYds .-These have been well kept by the various Divisions, a marked lmprovement over last year having been shown. Case Book have been well wntten up, and only in a fe:v Divisions does there appear to be laxity III notlllg up the Occurrence Book and keeplllg a note of treatment given. In view of certain steps which have ~een made to remedy this, itis hoped that the Divlsions concerned will show complete lmprovement at the n ext Inspection, when the records will be produced. In conclusion, I desire to express my thanks to all concerned for their loyal support. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, \\'. HAR\'EY REEVES,

The Interdivisional and Corps Cup Competitions were keenly contested and howed a high state of efficiency in the competing teams. The demand for the services of both men and women members of the Corps IS continually increasing, and an even greater increase 111 the personnel of the orps would be welcomed.

39, FISHERGATE, PRESTON, LANCASHIRE. 22nd Jlarch, 1929. SIR,

As Commissioner in charge of No.4 District St. John Ambulance Brigade, I beg to submlt for your informatlOn and approval a report covering the year 1928. Gen eral. - In constructing this statement, I feel considerable pleasure, as I am in a positlOn to embody a really fayourable and encouraging statement with regard to the units of the Brigade 111 the four Counties I have under my charge . A substanttal111crease in the number of units, which, togethe r with the expansion of indIVIdual Dlvisions produces a very satisfactory augmentation in the total strength. Healthy enthusiasm prevails on all sides, and new duties in the interests of the public are cheerfully accepted and carried out. The loyalty of the Brigade Organization to the Order of St. John is most marke d and sustained. These are a few points which embolden me to say that the work of the Brigade in this area is exceedingly prosperous. Two points of considerable interest present themselves, and, although not new developments, these have expanded to a marked degree. I refer, first, to the co-operation between the units of the Brigade and the Police Forces in the four counties, but particularly is this noticeable in regard to the Lancashire Constabulary. The Chief Constables of counties, cities, county boroughs, and boroughs in many

1 HE Sr. JOIl

A~IBULANCE BRIGADE.

instances avail t.h~mselves of the assistance of the Brigade 'w h en such is necessary, and I look upon thIS co-operation .as one of th~ most yaluable adjuncts of the Bngade. Secondly, there IS the growth 01 the establishment of First Aid Boxes in various districts. At Ashton-unc1er-Lyne there have just been erected 14 new Pollce Station Boxes, and to each IS attached a FIrst Aid Box, The e are under t.he cont.rol of the members of the local Division, who attend to the upkeep. In addition t.o these First Aid Lockers, there. are ~ additioI:al Firs~ AId Cabinets in prominent parts of t.he Borough. I gIve thiS as one IllustratIOn of the relationship bclween the Polrce Force and St. John Units. I could quote ot.hers If space permitted. Our association .with the Lif~boat ervice contInues, and an effort. IS beIng made to. develop the callIng out of Bngade members wIt.h suitable appliances In connectIOn WIth large fires. These, together with general dub s where crowds as emble at football matches,. race meetings, and kindred events, gn e a lImited Idea of the energIes and sacnfices of the St. John Ambulance Brigade in the Interest of the general pu blic. The strength of the District continues t.o make satisfactory progress. This is the fifth year I have been enabled to report increases in units ancl personnel. Strength.-?:\ew DiYi.si.on are as follows: Ambulance 6, \ ·IZ . Prescot, Rowrah, S:bd~n, Exc~an~e, ~nbsh Enka, and BrItish Insulated Cables (L1\ erpool Corps). .I. urslllg 6, ViZ. EqUItable (Oldham Corps), Cheadle Heath, Flect.wood, :\o.rlhwlch, Egre~ont, and Roche" B". Ambulan cl.! Cadds 4, YIZ. Blrk nhead ~orlh End, Ard\'nck, Bla~kburn, Bolton Headquarters. Xursing Cadet.s 6, \'lZ. Great Le\'er, Bury, Stalybndge, Heaton Park, Korden. and Chesham (Burv). This shows a total increase of ~2 units. Two of these were 'fo rmetl1l1 1929. I am satisfied-but only to a certain extent-wIth thiS de\'elopment. There are densely populated portIons of the County of Lancaster where no Brigade l ' mb eXIst., and ~hIS fact causes ~ne some disappointment. If t.he Brigade IS llseful In one place, It must ef neceSSIty be usefullll another, and I am paring no effort to. cle\"e]op the area I have just mentioned. Our busy and hurned lI.ves produc~ a disregard for" Safety Fi 1St ". lhus rendering people more lIable to. aCCident. ThIS establishes the fact t.hat lhere IS considerably more use and necessity for the sernces of the BrIgade than t.here e\'er was . .O.n.the 31st D~ce~ber, ~ 92~, there w('re in ?\e. 4 DI':itnct., IS Corp., 140 Ambulance DlvlsIOns, 106 ursmg DiVISIOns, and 60 Cadet Dn Isions ( . and .0:.), the eXlsting strength being as fe11o\\'s : AMBULANCE.

On each of these eccasiens the Inspecting Officer expressed himself most thoroughly satisfied with everything he had een. Hospital \\'ards were organized and equipped, demonstrations in coekery given, First Aid posts were occupied, and demonstrations given as required by the Inspecting Officer. The Official Reports received by all these Detachments were encouraging and highly satisfactory. As County Controller for \Vest Lancashire, I was present at the first two parades, and I also. attended when the Cheshire V.A.D.s were inspected at Stalybridge. It is difficult to find werds to express my indebtedness to Mrs. Tweedale, A.R.R.C., J.P., fer the useful and painstaking work she gives to the V.A.D. Organization as Assistant County Centreller in East and \Vest Lancashire and Cheshire.

THE

JOHN AMBULA

CE BRI GADE.

Cadets.-The Cadet side of our organization should never lor a moment b e ignored . It is highly important that our boys should have early and contin uous training, so that when they reach the necessary age, they may be t.ransf rree! into the adult units of the Brigade, and thus act as feeders, trained in di ciplinc and First Aid . The old difficulty of interesting boys still appears t.o exist., but. every effort should be made bv those associated with the Cadet movement to see that the active interest of these boys is sustained and the work made enjoya ble and happy. A record of 10 new Cadet Units in the year is quit.e good, but I press for more activity in this direction. No.4 District, at present, possesses 60 adet nits (A. and N. ) \yith a total strength of 1.253 ; not bad, but I am sure we can do better. R oad Patrols .- A very active interest is taken in this part of our work. There is no branch of our energies where more sel.f-sacrifice and zeal is required . I esti mate that during the summer, at week-ends and holiday times, in or about 150 miles of road are patrolled. The e ta blishment of Aid Posts and Cent.ral Stations ar multiplying. and in two instance~ three very u eful ane! splendidly equipped hut.s ha\'e been erected. I refer to the hut at Ashton. outside Preston, ancI t.he t.wo at Lytham St. Anne's on the St. Anne's-Blackpool Road. l\Iany senous aCCidents have b een dealt with, and motor transport IS a\'ailable either on t.he spot. or requisition by telephone . I have a detailed history of 2, 46 r emo \'als by motor ambulance. Of these 49were road accidents. iliany Divisions erect tents as l~lrst Aid Posts. ancI from these centres an efficient \\'atch is kept on the roads for three or lour miles on each SIde of the Aid Posts. Instances now exist where one unit links up the other, so t.hat there is a continuous First Aid Road Service for man\, mtles. All this work is done with the co-operation of the 'Police Forces and the Scouts of the RA.C. and A.A. Over 30 units of the Brigade are now act.l\·ely engaged In this very praiseworthy effort to place an efficient Flrst Aid Sen'lce \\1t.h in the reach of all who travel b y motor and other transport. Fire Service.-Brigade Units are encouraged to associate themselves With all local Fire Brigades. so that m case of necessity they may be able to attend fires and make themselves useful. Route Jlarches.-Route ilIarches, more especially m East. LancashIre', have been carried out und er the command of a member of the District Staff, or senwr Bngade Office r. These exercises are not purely movmg men from one pOint to another, but comprises useful schemes for dealing with supposed serious aCCidents. Much valuable information is thus obtained and the whole work is carned out under close supervision. Church Parades .- The after-named Church Parades were held. \\'halle\', 6th fay; Haslingden, 6th 11ay; Liverpool, 15th l\Iay; Cheadle Heath, 11th ' ::\la)'; Manchester and Salford, 24th June; Horwich, 12th August. The bringing together of Units for the purpose of attending Church Services has my strong encouragement. I consider that these turnouts go a long way to create excellent feelIng amongst the Units . Combined Parades and Inspections.-Fyld e Divisions : The Ulllt.S In the F\'lde Area of the County of Lancaster were inspected, by me, at Fleetwood, on the 13th May. The total on parade numbered 448 of all ranks. This number IS a record as associated with this inspection. The parade was under the command of Superintendent Donnelly of the Blackpool Divi sion. It 'was thoroughly well turned out. The ceremonial portion of the parade was excelle nt. and 1 was very much impressed b y the high tone of efficiency everywhere evident. The chsplay of First ~id and ursing Work indicated smartness and a thorough kno\dedge of each subject. The Chairmen of several local Urban District CouncIls witnessed the inspection, together with a very large number of the general public, whi ch included many of the influential ladies and gentlemen of the district. I asked the Chairman of the Fleetwood Urban District Council to present two Servicf' Medals, and a prize awarded by Mr. R H. O. Gill, of Blackpool, for the best instance of rendering Fi rst Aid throughout the Fylde Area during the year. Cheshir e Corps and Divisions: The Assistant Surgeon-in-Chief, Colonel C. 1. EIl.is, C.M.G., T.D., M.D., inspected the Cheshi re Corps and Divisions at 'W haley Bndge on the 19th May. The Parade was under the command of Assistant Commiss~oner C. H. Fowler- Jones. A pouring wet day saturated the clothes of everyone, but III no way damped the spirit and enthusiasm which was manifestly evident under very adverse and trying conditions. The total of all ranks on parade was 360,

DISTRICT.

South-East Lancashire Co rps and Divisions: You, Sir, as the Acting Chief Commissioner, inspected this parade on the 16th June, at Whitworth. Close on 2,000 of all ranks mustered . The parade was under the command of Assistant CommiSSIOner F. E. de B. Plm. In addressing those present you were kind enough to express your satisfaction with all you saw. Special reports regarding the Fylde, Cheshire, Corps and Divisions, and SouthEast LancashIre Corps and Divisions, have been submitted to you by me. .lIed/cal Com/orls.-There are now 17 Comforts Depots established in the District, anclln every Instance I can record that very excellent work IS being clone. ~ Tursing Vmts runmng these Depots are more and more seli-sacrificing, and the facilities placed at the disposal of all grarles of the public are much appreciated, and I am certamly cognIzant of a great deal of useful help extended through t.hese Depots to the poor. Two new Depots were organized during the year at Blackpool and Kendal. It m,ight here be noted that those attending the Conference at Ly.tham St. Anne's had the opportunity of seeing the splendid Comforts Depot.establ1s~ed there, and on all Sicks one heard expressions of satisfaction at the effiCient eqUIpment of that Depot. R.S .. J .S.li .R.-The R~ T.A.S.B.R. Old Comades' Association still continue to hold their re-Ulllons, and I trust that these gatherings will continue for many years . The\' breed a loyal good fellow::;hlp and strengthen greatly the cause of the Brigade. It IS ccrtaJI11v always thoughtful and generous to me. I had the pleasure of dining With th"l11 on the occasion of their re-union 'which took place at Bury on the 1Oth ~larch, 192 ~. It IS satlsfac ton' to know that ~ TO. 4 District provides a very substantial percentage in the SIck Berth~Reserve, \\'hich IS a most popular service. JI.H.R. - ThIS Reserve IS more or less of a disappointment to me. I hold that recruiting fOflt should be more keen and active. It is rather difficult to kno",' why ser\Jce in it is not acceptable . I am stIll optimistIc that we will be able to r ecruit the Reserve up to the reqUIrements of the \\'ar Office. No.4 District, at the moment, IS short of about 80 of the quota allotted. Each ycar the Annual Conference of the District excites a great deal of interest and is, (consider. more than valuable in bringing the Units of this rather wide and sca ttered District together. COIl/eren ce. The 1928 Conference assembled at Lytham St. Anne's and was an enthusiastIc gatherIng. There was an attendance of over 1,000 from all parts of the fuur counUes comprising Xo. 4 District. Lieut.- '01. J. T. \\'oolrych Perowne, Registrar and Secretary of the Ophthalmic Hospi tal a Jerusalem, and a Knight of Justice of the Order, honoured the Conference bv attending ane! audresslOg it. All Colonel Perowne said was listened to wit.h great uitcrest. espeCially his remarks regaruing the Ophthalmic Hospital at Jerusalem. The Cll tlr was kindly taken by the ::\layor of Lytham St. Anne's (Alderman Holden, ] .P.), who welcomed those assembled to Lytham St. Anne's. Our Conferences are fortunate m always being able to obtain the services of the Chief Magistrate of the City or Borough where the Conference meets. CompellllOlls.-\Ye are a busy District so far as competitions are concerned. Beauti ful anu valuable trophies are constantly being presented, and at the present time I am O'lad to be III a position to report that this encouragement is stimulating, and create;;' a great deal of interest in local areas. I am inducing local competitions to be set up, embracing the surrounding units. I feel that if we can multiply these tests we \\'Ill build up and extend a very efficient knowledge of First Aid. The elson Team, representing No.4 District, won the" Dewar" Shield. This is not the first time we have had the trophy in this area of the Brigade, nor do I think it will b e the last. Major L eonard Molloy presented in 1 99 a cup for Police Competition in No.4 District. This has now b ee n handed over to be competed for in the preliminary competition for the" Pim" atio nal Cup in I o. 1 Area of this competition. I here give a list of some of the most important competitions, with the results :-. " Perrott " Preliminarv, held 3 1st March, won by Liverpool Nursing. " Dewar " Preliminary, held 21st April, won by elson. " Argenta" Cup (open to Nos. 4, 5, and 6 Districts), held 12th May, won by K elson. " Laird " Trophy, held 22nd September, won by Dukinfield Nursing. .. Whittaker" Cup, held 22nd September, won by Crewe.

'(he National Police CompetItion for the" Pim " Cup was won by the Lanc:)shlre Constabulary in London, February 28th. In October the same team won the "Molloy" Cup at Preston. This team was trained by the Officers of the Brierfield Division. District 1 ltysi'llg Competitions :-Under the guidance and superintendence of :'IIrs. Tweedale, .R.R.C., J.p., the Lady District Superintendent, the after-named competitions were carried through : " Charles J. Trimble " Shield, won by Liverpool. " outhport" Trophy, won by Kendal. " Howard" Rose Bowl, won by Kendal. " Peace / ' Trophy (individual Officers). won by Miss l\IcCabe, Liverpool. " Lytham .. Yase (ll1dividual), won by Miss ::\IcConnan, Southport. " Challenge" Shield, won by Liverpool. " Bessie Trimble" Cup, won by Blackpool. South-East Lancashire Trophies- .\mbulance: "Coronation" Shield, won by Accrington; "'Wilson and Stockall " Shield, won by Eochdale; "Wembley" Shield, won by therton;" Daniel Hall "Trophy, won by Oldham Central. Cadets: " South-East Lancashire Cadet Cup, won by Roche (Rochdale) Cadets. South-East Lancashire Trophies-~ ursing : .. South-East Lanca hire" Shield, won by \Vhitefield; .. George Scarr" Shield, won by rompton; .. The Lees" Cup, won by Castleton. Cadets: "South-East Lancashire" Cadet Cup, won by Todmorden Cadets. Public Functions.-On the 29th September, 1928, a new Drill Hall, provided by l\Ir. A. B. Ireland, J.P., was opened by you, Sir, as the ctll1g ChICf ommlssioner of the Brigade, at Altrincham. On the occasion you received the deeds vestll1g this building in the Order. The local Divisions are very fortunate 111 possesslllg such fine headquarters. On the 26th October I presided at the opening of a Bazaar at Darwen. The object of this was to provide funds to free the new Headquarters from debt. On the two days the Bazaar 'w as opened £ 680 was obtained. The coming-of-age of the fine Ambulance DrIll Hall, at Eadcllffe, was celebrated on Saturday, 1st December, The Hall was opened by Sir Robert Baden-Powell 21 years ago. I was called upon to make one of two presentations to old Officers of the Division. Public Dulies .-The usual duty was undertaken by the members of the Oldham Corps on the occasion of the meeting af the Royal LancashIre AgrIcultural SocIety, held at Oldham, on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th August. I afterwards recen'ed a communication from the Secretary of this Agricultural Society thanking me 111 no measured terms for the very excellent services rendered during thIS mee ting. A considerable number of cases requiring First AId treatment were attended to. The Carlisle Pageant, held in August, occupied the attention of the CarlIsle nits during the period the citizens of Carlisle were re-enacting theIr I-llstory. There was an enormous crowd, totalling 78,000 people, and the n ecessity for First AId treatment was obvious. Lieut.-Colonel MacLaren, District Officer for \\'es tmorland and Cumberland, made ample and efficient arrangements. Assistance was obtained from the Units of Kendal and Cockermouth, 135 cases were treated at the Ambulance Tent and in the Arena. Manchester vYhitsuntide Processions offered ample opportunities for the rendering of First Aid, and the necessity for the presence of the Officers and members of the Manchester and Salford Units, both men and women, became very obvIOUS. On vVhit-Monday there were on duty 12 Ambulance Officers and 121 men, 7 Tursing Officers, and 71 Ambulance Sisters. There were 25 First Aid Stations, and 847 cases were dealt with. On "''hit-Friday, 11 Ambulance Officers and 48 men, together with 15 ursing Officers and 67 Ambulance Sisters, paraded. There were 34 First Aid Stations established, and 496 cases were treated, making a total of 1,343 cases for the two days. Bolton Corps.-I desire to record the really excellent work done by the Corps Superintendent of the Bolton Corps, assisted by Miss Whittle, the Lady Divisional Superintendent of the Great Lever Nursing Division, and those associated with them, who deal with the Sick Nursing and Crippled Section of the Bolton Gui ld of Help. Very valuable service is rendered in the care of cases of sickness amongst these children; over 200 crippled ones are visited for the purpose of after-care.

SIR, I have the honour to submit a short report upon the position and activities of )io. 5 District . The general elliciency of the members is highly satisfactory and the discipline IS eXLellent. .\11 ranks are fullv alive to their work and anxious to maintain a good position for 1.heil rl'specbve I \\'15IOns and for the District as a whole. ~IlIltltl1rl1nous are the opportllI11tJes taken advantage of for the services of our men and women: Football matches. sea-front duties at 'watering places, road patrol. swimming galas. theatres, cinemas, music halls, exhibitions, pageants, festi "als. and race meel1 ng5. adcts have done duty. but always in conjunction with Senior members, in th is way bC1I1g tralllell for acll111SSlOn to .\mbulance and .1. ursing Divisions as and when they reach the age limit . Area O.C.s report favourably upon the Cadet movement, its progress and e1hciency. At sevcral of my Inspections I was particularly struck with the smartness of these Juniors. It is \\'ith pleasure that I acknowledge the following gifts of Trophies for competJtlOn Within the Distnct South-Eastern Area-\\'est RIdmg, Yorks.-" The Forrest-Hamilton Cup," kindly givcn by Corp Supenntendent Forrest-Hamilton. outhern Area \Yet Ricilng. York .-" The J. Corfield Cup" for Cadets, kindly gi \'l'n by add Supenntendent J. Corfield. Thc ascs treated during the ycar and reported to me reach a total of 45,345, but 1 am com'1J1C II that a con51clerable number of cases have not been recorded (one DiviSIOn ha\'lng reportec1 ovcr 2,000 cases) . There IS a marked reluctance on the pat t of in<11\ Iduals to make mention of their doings . . \cldltJ olldl to thi5 arc some 6,632 cases transported to Hospitals, our Motors CO\enllg 35,39~ 11111c5 to accomplish this service. InvidIOus It may be to slllgie out any case, yet I venture to mention that of an enrrine-dn \cr \\ ho e leg had been cut off by a passing train giving the necessary immedIate instructIOns to his mate. Out of hospital and convalescent, I recently prcsented him With a bar to hiS serVIce medal. In due time he will continue his efforts 1Il the cause. Thirty-four new Divisions have been registered (18 mbulance, 10 Tursing, and 6 adct), but I regret that It has been necessary to disband 4 DiVisions. The trcngth of the District has considerably increased. It now stands at 11 ,258, an Increase of 7~6 upon the previous year. It is with my deepest regr t I have to record the loss to the District caused by the death of the following members : Longton allli District Corps Corps Superintendent P. J. Evans. ~Tew Hudmall CollIeries Divisional Surgeon R. Irvine. Gnmsby Di\'lSIOn . Pte. G. \Y. H. Harris . Bradford Tramway Division Pte. L. Taylor. Bentley CollIery Divi ion Divisional Surgeon J. \Yalker. 1 orth l3lCrlCy Di\'ision . Cadet Officer A. Thornton. The 192" amp was held at The Castle Grounds, Scarborough in the V\'hit-week, and all ranks greatly appreciated the honour done them by the Acting Chief Commissioner himself taking the Inspection. Again I desire to record my thanks to my Chief of Staff for undertaking the Office of Camp ommandant. Other Camps were approved for Staveley Corps, Bolsover Colliery Company's Divisions, and Sheep bridge Divisions, the first two of which were inspected by a Staff Officer and the latter by myself. The Annual Dinner of the Officers was held at Sheffield on the 10th March. The speakers included the District Surgeon and the Sheffield Corps Superintendent,

the former giving us most excellent advice and the latter very int.eresting and usc_ u . information, particularly on the road service scheme. Amongst the public duties were : The Royal Agricultural Society's Show which again came into this District for their 1928 fixture at J:\ottingham. I was a ked to ambulance the Sho'\\,. ottlncrham County performed this duty to my entirc satisfaction, putting in 2,208 hour/"duty and rendering help in 353 cases . His lajesty's visit to J:\ottingham. wben 2 4 cases were treated. The Hucknall Aerodrome Flying Exhibitions. Once more ambulances and men were proVIded to follow the competitions in the great Miners' Boat Racc organized by the liners ' \Velfarc Centres and the Notti11gham Evening ews. Derbyshire and Nottinghamshirc Unlt.s performed this duty. During the Doncaster race week not only were Ambulance men and Sisters on d~ty on the racecourse, but Doncaster was completely encircled by a flng of First Aid Posts established at all dangerous junctions and cross roads . ome ' 19 member~ undertook this duty and 121 cases recei"ed attention. This duty covered 0 mile:, of roads, upon which motor, motor-cycle, cycle, and foot patrols operat.ed. Church Parades have been held at l\ottlngham, Pontefracl, :'Ilan::>held, anu other places in this District. The Acting Chief Commissioner visited Chesterfield and took the Inspection for Derbyshire Torth on the 22nd July. During the year I inspected : Iottingham County on 26th August, when 1,174 all ranks were on parade. Sheffield Corps on 6th October. Pontefract Corps on 7th October. North Staffordshire on th July. Sheepbridge at Cromford on 6th August. All other C~rps a~d Divisions ha.ve been inspected by my ASSistant Commi SlOners. On the 11th l'iiovember, Major-General The Lord beyle more, K.C.:\1.G., K.C.V.O., addressed a considerable number of our men at the klng's Hall, toke. On the 9th September I visited Ringwood Hall, and conferred with the Officers of the Staveley Corps. Her Royal Highness Princess l\1ary presented the \ ".A.D. Trophies at Leeds on 24 th N ovem ber. The Road Service Scheme continued to be a matter of Il1terest, and considerable progress has been made. Sheffield and Pontefract Corps are well estabhshed In this connection. A good deal of useful patrol work has been done Il1 thc ountJes of ottingham, Lincoln, and Derby. Some 60 miles of main roads Il1 the 1\orthern Area of the \Vest Riding of Yorkshire were patrolled by nits of that Area dunng the summer months, especially at week-ends and holidays. It is somewhat difficult to do justice to the excellence of the service rendered to the public at large by our members, so numerous and varied arc the duties which they perform. Divisional Superintendent J. T. Goodwin, M.B.E., Corps Officer F. F. Gibson, S:~rps Superintendent W . Still, and Mrs. H. Lambert, A.R.R.C., F.B.C. ., have Jomed my Staff as District Officers. My Lady District Superintendent is doing splendid work. The loyalty, ~uvport,. and help of my Staff is beyond praise, and to other Officers of Corps ~nd DIVISIOns IS due, and is extended, my meed of praise, as Without their co-<?~eratlOn the Officers commanding Counties and Areas would not be III the posItIon to ren?er me such val~able h elp . My Chief of Staff, in his great experience, renders ~o me Il1valuable help III the control of this big District, and I cannot omit to mention my Secretary, who in his office is perfect. I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, S. W. MALKIN, Knight of Grace, Order of St. John , Commissioner.

1929.

SIR,

I have the honour to su bmi t my report for the year 192 I am pleased to say that there has been a general Improvemcnt in the kecnness shown by the various Divisions, both Ambulance and Kursing, and t.hat the efficiency shown in the past bas been well maintained. In this District there are vcry few occasions on which the Brigades can perform public duties, but whenever an opportunit.y presents itself the 1 i\'isions are only too ready to perform sucll duties. The annual Hort.icultural Fete at Shrewsbury is onC' that afiords a unique opportunity, and in 1928, asin the past, t.he Brigade was call1'dllpon. The arrangements \vere carried out by the Shrewsbury DlnSlOns pnncipally, who exl1Jblt.ed t.he high standard o.f skill anel attention to Injured sho\\ n In past years. The \\Test .:\lldland Show was another occasion upon which the credIt of thc St. John Ambulance Brigade " ·a. well Ill ,u nt.ai ned. The new Railway Division at Shrew bury has proyed a success. It has a l11( mhership of 50 and shows itself a highly trained I iYIslon. SllpL'nntcn(it'nt" alter and his acting officers are to be congratulated on the excellent " 'ork they 11aye pulln. Oswestry, Oakengates, and Hanwood maint.ain theIr crech t for good \york and efficiency . The Town Division at Shrewsbury alone shows a general apat.hy. The ursing Divisions are well up to their work and the members gcnerally attend well and are keen . Hereford Nursing Division is under great disadvant.ages; haVIng lost Its usual practice room, itso ~ar ha . been unable to find anot.her. It is a great pIty as it has always been an effiCIent and hard-working Division. A ~econ~ ~~Hsing Division has been form ed at. Shrewsbury, and the ,,'elllngton JurslDg ~lvlslOn has been revIved. Xeither of these has been registered as yet. There IS a prospect of a new Ambulance Di vision at Broselcy and a reYI val of the Market Drayton Division . In~rease? .i~terest was shown this year in the District Competitions. Seven Nursmg DlvlslOns entered for the Shield, which was won by t.hc ~IarkcL Drayton Division, Oswestry being sccond. Four teams entered for the County Cup, which 'was won after a close contest bv the Shrewsbury Railway Division No.2 Team, the newly-formed DivisIOn, which augurs well for its future. Once again I most gratefully acknowledge the services rendered to me bv the L<;tdy. Dis~rict .Superintendent, to whose untiring work the success of t.he ' tir ing DIVIsIOns IS prinCIpally due . I also wish totender .my thanks to the Superintendents, and especially the Tedical Officers, for then exertions and the help they have given to me on all occasions. On t he whole I cons ider that the past year has been one of progrcss and I look wi th confidence to the futu r e. I have the honour to be, Yours faithfully, ARTHUR R. F. EXHAM, M.D., N[ajor, Commissioner No. 7 District, St. J ohn Ambulance Brigade .

during the year they removed 10,527 patients and travelled 132..'.~~ 1. miles . Comparing these figures with those of last year t.here 1S a decrease ~f """ m the number of patients carried and an increase of 22,362 m the number of miles travelled. Over 5,000 pailents were removed free of charge. . ' The cars arc owned as follows: Brigade 16, Home Ambulance Service Committee 6, and Other Bodies 9. The maintenance of this splendid tran port service reflects much credit on the 11l1ltS operatIng cars. \ 'anous methods are employed to raise funds to meet the cost of upkeep of the ambulances and the continuance of the service IS only made possible by the energy and sC'lf-sacnfic(; displayed by our offi.cers and members. I am pleased to report that our ambulances are run on economical lines and the charges made are so worked out as to cover only the expenses of the service. Road Service Scheme.-Divisions, both Ambulance and Tursing, continue to show a real enthusiasm for this work, and I am pleased to report that the Herne Bay and Chatham DiVISIOns ha\'e supplied themselves with First Aid Huts from wh1ch to carry out their road \\"ork. Trw l1erne Bay Hut, one of the finest yet erected, you were good enough to inspect In the AuLuJl1n, and [ take thiS opportunity of congratulat1l1g the Herne Bay Ambulance and ~ 'l1rsmg Dlv1sIons on the novel scheme employed to raise funds to meet the cost of the hut and equipment. There were between Easter and the end of September, 22 r-.lobile First Aid Posts on Lhe roads 111 K ent, Surrey, and Sussex. There are 28 Roadslde Boxes and these have been kept replenished during the year. The return of road acclcients show that 1,932 cases received attention and the ambulancl''i tra\ elled l1,714 miles In removing serious cases to hospital. The number of cases attended show an increase of 1,352 over those attended in 1927, WlllLh clearly shows the necessity for the provision of Fust Aid Posts on the hIghways. COJllpetltivlls.-The results of the CompetitlOns for 1928 were as follows : DISTRICT TROPHIES. Folkestone Di vision. The" Three Counties" Shield Littlehampton Division. The" CotLon ..

1BVLANCE BRIGADE.

of Drs. Cozens and Hamerton, Superintendent Sharp, and Ambulance Officer Creasey, and to the kindness of Mr. A. 11. Hill, a well-wisher of the Brigade, the Divisions now have new H eadqu arters wh ich are admirably suited to the work of the Brigade. The kindly interest shown by Lady Wilkinson and yourself in going down to H erne Bay and declaring the Ambulance Station open is not only appreciated by the Divisions concerned, but the wholc of my District.

Review of Nos. 8 and 11 Districts.full report of this Review has already b ee n submitted to you, and I need only say now that the wonderful reception given to the Brigade b y the Herne Bay Urban District Councll and the inhabItants w111 remain a lasting memory, and the R eview will go down to history as one of the most wonderful parades ever held by the Brigade in the provinces . debt of gratitude is due to th e work carried out by the officers and members of the local Divisions to make the parade the huge success that it was on this occasion. The District will also ever remain grateful to Lieut-General Ir Aylmer IIuntcr'Veston, K.C.B., D . . 0., R.E., ~I.P., Chancellor of the Order, for the great part he played to make the di play of Bngade strength and unity so succes ful. Units which attended this revIew were able to count same as the Annual Inspection for 1928, and, therefore, In a few cases only have DI vJ.lOnal lnspect.lons been held. 1 Te vert.heless, I am sure that the DivlslOns are malUtalUing the high standard of efficiency to which I referred lU my last report. Finance.- The finances of units generally arc in a healthy tate and I have no hesitation in aying that support to the DIstrict Fund will not be lacklUg when next year the District, in return for the Order 's remis ion of 10 per ce nt. on Flag Days, will be called upon to meet the administration expenses of thc District tafL To the public Authorities who are assisting theIr local Dl\ iSlOns with funds, I tender my sincere thanks. I hope that the tllnc i not far distant when all Public Authorities responsible for the welfare of the people will recognize in a practical way the great amount of work 'which the Brigade carn out for the public. Conclusion.-I ha"e felt for some time that the fact that Xos. ) and 11 Dlstncts to a large extent worked the same terri ton' was not conducl"c to the best Interests either of the Brigade or the two Di tricts. Ow'rlapPlUg and unne cessary comp tl tIon was unavoidable, and it called for tlle exercIse 01 con iderable ta ct and dlscretlon on both sides to maintain that cordial co-operation in publtc work which is both thc pride and the duty of the Bngade. After very careful consideration I offcred my resignation to you . ir. on the condition that X o. 11 District as such ceased to exist and that 1 t should amalgamate with the various Districts with which it was lU contact, anel that thc Commissioner of Ko. 11 District should succeed me as Commi sioner of the ne" Xo. 'DIstrIct.. ThiS rearrangement has now been brought about, and on 31st December, 192~, mv resignation took effect. . It has been a wrench to se,'cr my conncct.ion ,\ith the Brigade after 2 years of effective service and over five years as COmlntsslOner of ~ -0. Dlstnci, but I am convinced that the District and the Brigade will benefit by t.he change. I leave a District which I have been proud to command, in which all ranks, from the highest to the lowest, have given me loyal and faithful co-operation and service, and a District which has never failed me but has brought atlded lustre and fame to the Brigade and to the Order. My successor is to be envied, not only upon taking command of an efficient, live District, but also because I know he w111 recel ve the undi "ided loyalty and goodwlll which it has been my privllege to enjoy. I bid my District" Farewell" with sorrow, and yet with pride. A pride that it has been my privilege to serve the Brigade for so many years, and a pride m knowing that the .Brigade is, at las.t, com,ing mto " ItS own" and receivlUg the support of, and credlt from, the publIc for Its beneficent and self-sacrificing work. My love and interest in the Brigade will never die, and I shall watch its future progress towards building up a magnificent cdifice of First Aid to th e Injured with satisfaction, and feel grateful that, at one time, I was privileged to playa small part in the building up of this edifice. I have the honour to remain, Sir, Your obedient servant, A. VERNON DAVIES, Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John .

THE ACTING HlEF COl\DIISSIONER, ST. JOHN Al\IBULANCE BRIGADE. SIR,

II 11

II I

I have the honour to submit my report of the aclivd.le of thc Brigade in Cornwall during 1928. ~Iy Officers and I visited e"ery Dl\' islOn dUring the year. and \\l' were recel\'ed ,,-ith touching kindness. Enthusiasm was 1110 t marked, and all ranks were Imbued 'with the spirit of service. Everywhere we found a Splflt of friendly rivalry wIth other Divisions, each DiVision wishing to be the best in the \\·e. t. The Headquarters (now exceeding £4,000 111 value) we found well maintamed. clean, and properly kept. Most of t.he Headquarters provIded garage for the motor Ambulances, and each building had a dressing station for tbe treatment of road accidents. The Motor Ambulances at Pendeen, Penzance, St. Ives, IIelston, Liskeard, Illogan, Redruth, 1\ewquay, and Falmouth were in good condItIon. fully equipped, and well staffed. The Ambulances at amborne and Bodmm were worn out, and were being replaced. \Ve are fortunate in ornwall in that we ha\'e an active and sympathetic Joint Committee of the Order of St. John and the Bnttsh Red Cross Society always ready with grants of money and loans free of lI1terest, so that DiVIsions are able to promptly replace 'worn-out Ambulances. Each Officer in charge havmg had a telephone installed, or arrangements made whereby he might be called, there was a speeding-up of the turn-out to accidents . Several instances were recorded of Ambulances getting away within nve minutes of calls being received. Our thanks are due to all telephone operators for the efficient manner in which emergency calls were handled. 42 I~oad Posts were in existence at 31st December, and at the time of the writing of my report the Divisions were setting up others. A careful watch has been kept on all reported road accidents to ascertain ,the best means of dealing with them without delay. Road Posts, Telephonic Facilities, Members stationed at the various Headquarters, and First Aid Equipment carried

in the private cars of Members seem to provide the best solution. \Veel{-end Road Patrols had not been started by any Division as the traffic in Cornwall does not vary to any great extent, but the week-end traffic is, if anything, somewhat less than that in the middle of the week. Our thanks are clue to the Police, the H..A.C. and A. . Scouts, for their ever-ready assistance. The equipment of the DiVIsions was excellent throughout. Special mention may be made of the Cliff Rescue Appliances and the lamps and flags (in charge of trained operators) for signalling between the shore and the lifeboat when at sea at St. Ives; the stretchers and gear for landing injured men from ships at St. rves, Falmouth, and Penzance; and the stretcher (the invention of practical miners at Illogan) in general use for difficult rescue work at mines. Co-orer<ttion between our members and the Fire Brigades was general. All Di VIsions on, or ncar, the coast made a special study of the best methods of the resusCliation of the apparently drowned. As visitors will not understand that they arc bathing in the AtlantiC Ocean on the J. orth Cornish Coast, the services of the Members are required every year. Some delIghtful recoveries of patients were recorded during the summer. Quarterly meetings of the ounty and Divisional Officers were again held with excellent results. To these meetings may be attributed the spirit of comradeship that eXIsts . The adet Detachments continued in a healthy state. Many of the best recruits were agaIn received from the Detachments as the members join the Divisions imbued WIth the Splflt. of discipline. and their preliminary training is so good that they qUIckly develop inio efficient Ambulance men. . The Xurs1l1g Di visions made a further step forward under the leadership of County ~urslng Officer, MISS Deane. The nurses are domg splendid work. \\'c cannot get members to jOln the l\ltlitary Home Hospital Reserve yet, although letter::; and CIrculars were scnt to every Division and I addressed the members on the Importance of the Resen·c. ThIS is the one weak spot in our work. I place on record my high appreciation of the medIcal men who gave their servIces free of charge for lectures and re-examinations. The doctors are supporting the work in e\'cr-increasJl1g numbcrs. In conclusion, I express the sorrow of every member at the death of Assistant Commls Ion r Barry. He was loved by all. Dr. Barry was one of the pioneers in our work In Cornwall. T\\'cniy years ago when he started his Brigade \vork there were sImply a few scatt r d U111ts in the county, but he liyed to see his ambition fulfilled of a powerful organizatLOn extending from one end of Cornwall to the other undcr a lI111ited command. ~Iel11bers from the Tamar to the Land's End gathered 111 the sunny corner of the old churchyard to bid farewell to a beloyed friend when we laid his body to rest. l\1ay he sleep well. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, EDGAR TROUNSO~, County Commissioner, Officer of the Order.

COUNTY HEADQUARTERS, 35-36 OTTE STREET, PLYMOUTH. THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER, ST. JOlIN AMBULANCE BRIGADE. SIR, I have the honour to submit my report on the Brigade activities in the County and on the Eastern Border of Cornwall during the year ended 31st December, 1928. Personnel.-I am happy to report that still further progress has been made in my County District, and Ambulance Divisions have been raised at Harbourne, Totnes, South Brent, and South Molton; Nursing Divisions at Dartmouth and Paignton. Jew Cadet Divisions have been sanctioned by you at Salcombe and ewton Abbot; and Cadet ursing Divisions at Buckfastleigh, while several others were in course of formation when the Brigade year closed.

THE

ST.

Statistic .-At the close of last year the strength of the Brigade under my command was:County Staff Officers. 6 Ambuiance orps and Divisional OHicers (includtng urgeons) 121 Other Ranks 13 Nursing Divisional Officers (including Surgeons and Trained ~ ~urses) 49 Ambulance Sisters 231 Ambulance Cadets 290 Nursing Cadets 179 Total personnel 1,6 '9 The above figures are an increase in Officers and ;\Iembers of 116 in twelve months. Obituary.-The District has suffered a very severe loss in the death of Pollee Inspector Bastin, of Exmouth. An Ambulance pIOneer of over :~O years' service, he was largely respon ible for all the strikmg dC\ cl0pments of the Order's "ork m Exmouth and other parts of East Devon. Xot long before IllS death he was admitte<.l to the Order as a erving Brother 111 recogmtlOil of his SCr\'lClS. The Exmouth Association Committee and Brigade "Gnits mtlnu cH:cting an Ambulance Hall in memory of Inspector BastIn.

Inspectio?ls.-The l\ursing and Gul Cadet Divisions in the CIty of Plymouth and surrounding areas had a great day on the occasIOn of the \ ISll of Inspection by Lady Perrott, R.R.C., the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief of ~ 'ursing Corps and Divisions. A large gathering of general public, includin rr many Inf1uentlalcnizens, did honour to our distinguished \'isitor. The other Ambulance and ~urStng Lmts were inspectedelther by T I ( ommif io ner H.

The County of De\'on has the honour of bung the ~(col1d In the country on the !lst published by the Home Ambulance SCI \ Ill' for the amount of work undertaken by ItS Ambulances. Voluntary Aid Detachments.-The Sl. John \'.A.D.s are still progr{'~slng, and the year closed with the prospect of one or h\'o more detalhments beIng formed. Unfortunately, this type of sen' lce docs not seem to appeal to t1. e l\lalL: Cnlts, although efforts have been made to interest them. Duties.-Both the Men and Sisters have been through a streJ1ll01lS penocl of public duty. \Vork in Hospitals, on the Roads, at Ambulance StatIons, at Sports, and in connection WIth the Beach Huts and Tents h<:we been well mamtaincci. Two duties of a particularly strenuous nature were the Great \\'e5t Country GUIde Rally at Plymouth, inspected by H.R.H. Princess 2'.Iary, and the" ),a\') \\'ee k ", when many thousands of people visited 1-1.1\1. ShIPS, etc., at Dc\ 0111 ort. The opening of a Dirt Track at Exeter has also added to our responslbliJtics. The Plymouth Ambulance Station.-Dunng the year the Central Ambulance Station at Plymouth, a 3-storey building, has been almost doubled In size, thanks to the generosity of a strong suprorter of the Order's work who desires to remain anonymous. In the new portion, in addition to a three-car garage, engineering shop, lecture rooms, and stores, there is the administrative headquarters for the District's successful Tursing organization, and also the most useful ::t\ursing Station at which the female personnel in the City of Plymouth take turns of duty in order to accompany women and children in the Ambulances. A goodly proportion of the 25,000 patients and Crippled Passengers moved in the eight local vehicles are accompanied by St. John Sisters, and their work is much appreciated . Cadets.-I desire especially to call your attention to the useful services rendered

Lord, 85, B J\'edere Road, Ipswich.-(20.4.22.) REPORT OF THE CO::\fl\IISSIOXER. -19, BERNERS STREET, IpSWICIJ. To THE ACTING CHIEF CO!l1MISSIONER, ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE. SIR,

I have the honour to submit my annual reporti.o you for Xo. 10 Dlstnct as follows The District comprises the counties of Xorlolk. uffolk, Essex, Hertford, ami Cambridge. ~orfolk, at one time a poorly represented county. is no,,' on the wav to be one of the most active counties in the District, and compnses 11 DIVISIOns wh 're a year or two back there 'was but one sohtary DI\;i Ion. This progress IS entirely due to one or two very actIve and energetic officers, to whom my most grateful thanks are due. The Motor Ambulances in the county run by St. John men-all voluntary workers -do an enormous amount of work to the satlsfactJOn of all concerned and to theIr very great credi t. New Divisions are being formed every year now, and the future is bright as regards this, for there are several more waitlllg and almost ready to register. J personally inspected the majority of Divisions and from personal knowledge can vouch for their efficiency. The County Commissioner has inspected the remainder, and his report as to their condition is an excellent one. In Suffolk the same applies. Their knowledge of First Aid and Nursing is of a high order, the proof of which is an Ipswich ursing Division carried oil the Chalmers Trophy for the best individual practical team, a no small matter where the standard is set so high by all competing teams . I am very greatly indebted to an officer of the Order and his wife for an immense inter est both personal and financial, taken by them in the work of the Order in Ipswich, and desire specially to mention them, Mr. and Mrs. Parkington. I am sure they would not wish me to enter into details, but there is the fact, and I must draw your attention to them both, for in them we have pillars of strength . The County Commissioner has done excellent work. During the year he managed by personal effort to raise sufficient money to purchase a plot of land suitably placed,

and got a certain Society to erect thereon a new building, to be used in perpetuity as a Medical Comforts Depot by the local Detachments, who have so far proved themselves by running a Depot for several years and where the amount of work compelled them to find new outlets if the progress made was to go on. By his actIOn and that of the Society, that problem has been solved for many years to come, and the Depot now has its own permanent hom~ free from debt, and with no future fear of cost beyond that of rates, heatmg, and light. All the Ambulances in the Cou n ty staffed by St. John men have clone an extraordinary amount of work. . . . . The two we have lD IpswIch, wlth paId dnvers and attendants, are III constant demand. Thev turn out at the request of the Fire Brigade, and with a squad of men stand by at fires in the borough. - pomt here arises that I desire to draw your attention ~o'. . r suggest that all Di viSlOns should be taught. the ~dml.lllstrabon of ~x~-gen not only ID case of need at fires, but a.lso because In thIS Dlstnct many DIVIsIons at watenng places go on duty dunng the bathing season, and at such crowded places as Clacton, Yarmouth, LowestoJt, Cromer, Sheringham, Hunstanton, etc., accldents may, ancl somclllnes do, bappen to bathers. Ux "gcn In such cases would be of infinite value as an adjunct to artificial respiration. . The same remarks apply to tho e who go on duty at shipwrecks. The process h a perfectly easy and lllnocent one to teach and learn. I have been asked to teach It several ti meso [n coal-minmg areas the matter in my opimon should be, and may be for all I know. ompulsory. . .. . . . j personally agalD in. pected all the DIVISIons In IIertfordshlre, and have nothmg but praise for them all, and espeCIally for one very competent Xursing Division at Letcbworth. Here. again, such ::\lotor Am Lulances as are run b) St. John men are efnciently and well rUll, to the credit of all concerned. Essex i:-i slowly mO\'ing ahead. .-\.lthough in small numbers, .they gave a good account of themselves at the lount\" H.ecl Cross Rally compebtlOns, and came off best III several of the open competitIons they entered for. . . \. IIttlc and \'en' out-of-the-main-tract Di\"ision at :'.lanningtree does qUJet but enel.-tl \ e work. TllC men are keen. know then job, and unobtrusively do it without any llmclight eHects. This is a spIrit I must draw your attention to and commend them for it. The lasl county in the District, ' ambric1geshire, has but byo Divisions, and both arc raIlwav divisions. I have not been able> to lDspecl them, for bemg H.allway men Sunday IS their only POSSIUle day for a good muster, because of duties, and Sunday trams arc almost ImpOSSIble. . . . . .\. good andenergellc Co~nty CommlSSlOneflS badly wa~ted here .. To an energebc worker there IS a very bIg held ly111g fallow. The Road 1 atrols are III good ,yorbng order and the Pohcl:. A."\., and l<..A.C. Scouts all welcome our presence. I p'ersonallY ha\'e gone 0\ er the roads on high days and holidays and seen the men at ·work. I ha \ e seen them on cycles with properly filled ha Yersacks, patrolling wi thin easy reach of FIrst Aid posts where a full equipment was placed at their disposal, Including stretcher, and a telephone near by. . .c' All the men were smartly turned out, properly eqUipped, and .1Urlllture clean and bright. . . Xo man IS allowed on road patrol who lS not effiCIent for the year. 110torists are sympathetic and fully appreciate why the men are there. . umb r 10 is all right, and but for the fact that the area IS largely agncultural and employed mainly in industry connected wlth farmlllg, whIch IS III a bad way financially, we III O. 10 would be content, but finances are a worry for the above reasons. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, J AMES HOSSACK, Knight of Grace, Commissioner :No. 10 District.

SIR,

20. 31st December, 1928.

CAlIIBERLEY AVENUE, RAYNES PARK, S . \V.

E.C. 1.

It IS my pleasure to report that, during the year ending 31st December last, interes t in the Brigade throughout o. 11 District has been well maintained and the membershIp of the District has further increased. Dunng the year all umts were VISited and inspected. The reports of the Inspecting Olilcers were cncouraglllg and t estified to the high standard of efficiency throughout the Distnct. During the year over 10,000 cases of First Aid rendered by members of the Division under my charge were reported to me, and, in many instances, letters of commendahon were received from the patients and medical authorities on the value of the work done. A very successful review took place at the Royal Military College, Camberley, on Sunday, 8th April, by kind permission of l\Iajor-General E. S. Girdwood, C.B., C.1'I.G. The Review was held in conjunction with members of TOS. 2 and 8 Districts, and it was attended by 600 men and nurses. The Bncklayers' Arms teams, representing o. 11 District, was successful in securing the second position in the Dewar Challenge Shield Competition. During the past seven years this t eam has won the trophy four times, and secured second position three times-a record of which, as you will appreciate, I am naturally proud. This team also secured the Trimble trophy. This is my last report to you as Commissioner for o. 11 District, and I should be failing in my duty if I neglected to pay a generous tribute to the support given

me by the members of my personal st.aff, 01liccrs, and .C.O.s, and members of t.he various Di visions since 1919, when I was appointed ommissioner for o. 11 District. 'Vith the reorganization, some of the units will come under the control of other Commissioners . 'Ye are parting company with great regret., but. I am happy in the knowledge that my statement to you that the members of TO. 11 District would give second place to no one in their loyalt.y t.o the Brigade has been justified by the fact that the transfers have been effected without any loss of personnel, although I know that the units who have been transferred feel the parting as much as I do. At the same time I am quite sure that. they may be relied upon to give of then best to their new chief in the int.erest of the cause they represent. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, E. A. I ICIIARDS, Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John.

SIR, I have the honour to submit my report for the year 1928. . The amount of Public Duty undertaken by our Divisions continues to mcrease from year t.o year, and I feel -highly gratified at the way in which our memb~rs all hard-working men and women-meet the demands made upon them by Bngade dubes. . . Outside t.he ordinary routine, the principal items du~ing the p.en~d under reVIew were: The Royal Dublin Society's Shows; the DublIll and DIstnct Motor Cycle Club Races at 'Phrcnix Park; the Athy Motor Cycle Club 75 miles Race; ~he " Leinst.er 100 " (run m connection with the Tailteann Games); the Reception to the Atlanttc .\..lrmen; the Tailt.eann Games; the" Ozanam" Pilgrimage to Lourdes; the Irish ="ational Pilgrimage to Lourdes ; Armistice Day.. . The transport arrangements for the" Ozanam " Pilgri.m~~e were carned out III Dubhn and Kmgstown by the Brigade, and the local DIVISIOns ~t I:I0lyhea~ .and l'olkestone co-operated on their side. Four members of our Nursmg DIvlsIOns accompanied t.he Pilgnms to Lourdes. \Ye were asked to supply 60 men to accompany the 300 invalids on the Irish atIonal Illgrimage to Lourdes in October, and there was an eager reponse to the call for "olunteers, and this in splte of the fact that a number of the men had to relinqUish their pay for the fortnight m order to get leaye. Those who were selected for the duty underwent a period of special training beforehand, ancI through the courtesy of Great Southern Railways, Ltd., were allowed practices under actual railway conditions at Broadstone St~tIOn. The PilO'runaO'e travelled in two sections. On the first our contmgent was under the contrgl of District Officer J. P. lacXamara and Superintendent P. J. Tyrrell, and on the second the Officers in charge were Superintendents J. L. Keogh and F . J:-'k:-'Iahon. Th work, which was extremely heavy, ·was carried out to the entire sabsfactlon of the Pilgrimage Authorities, from whom, as well as from the invalids, many expressions of thanks and appreciation were received. Also our men were smgled out for special clist.mction dunng the stay at Lourdes. The transport was carried out by the Brigade b~th on the ~)Utward and return journey", ane! the m,-alids who had to wait at the railway termlfil here were cared for by our Ambulance Slsters. . ' This cvcnt. abo mvoh-cd a large amount of work and conslderable outlay III connectlOn With the Stores Department. . I am pleased to report that we were again .able to .a~range for some of our ?eDlOr Ambulance Sist.ers to recei ye practical hospital trammg at week-ends. ThiS "vas made pOSSI ble through the kllldness of the ::\latron and 1 ursing Staff of the Royal Cltv of Dublin Hospital. ill'st . l ld IIuts.-l,076 cases were treated at the City Hut in Upper O'Connell Street dunng the year, viz. 771 by the Day Orderly and 305 by the Jight Staffs. The Hut at the football grounds in Phamix Park was ?pen each Saturday a.nd Sunday dunng the season. A considerable number of senous case~ are dealt Wlth at this st.atlOn. The Hut at ::-'Ierrion Strand did useful work dunng the summer months. The Annual Appeal for Funds, organized by District Officer J _ P. MacNamara and Corps OJ1icers l\Ir. and DlrS. Reginald H. Keatinge, realized £ 1,002 12s. lId., made up of :-Subscriptions, £ 120 19s. 4d.; cards, £ 166 9s. lId.; envelopes, f2H ISs. Sd. ; box collections in the streets, £49 s. 3d. " Transport Departmcnt.-353 patients were carried during the year. The Ambulance SerVIce is now in constant request. Poor persons are brought to and from hospital free of charge, and in the case of those who can afford to pay a fee is charged . Invalid Requisites and Stores.-The work of these Departments. continues to increase and it has been found necessary to add to the Stores both III the matter of linen ~nd invalid requisites. Requisitions for medical stores for use at the various fetes, sports, huts, etc., numbered 77. In the Invalid Req~isites Department no less than 370 articles were issued, and the number of these still out amounts to 125.

PRIORY FOR WALES .

AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

ABRIDGED REPORT. THE BRICADE Good progress is a general feature, and the mbulance IN WALES. Department provides ample evidence of this. . In the gen:ral diffusion of kn?wledge of Ambulance work, the Priory :s ende.avourmg to keep pace with the growing need consequent on the mcreasmg frequency of accidents on the public highway. By ~rrangeme.nt with the. Rhondda Borough Education Committee the. P.nory made It el~ respons:ble f?r the administration of the Ambulanc~ trammg m the evenmg contmuatI?n classes, and it is generally agreed that the change ~as proved b:neficw.l, and there is a likelihood of imilar arrangements bemg made with other Authorities. Th.e inauguration of the Police ational Fir t Aid Competition was a defimte ~tep forward, and one which w~ll have a far-reaching effect on the public welfare. l\1en:be.rs of the Pollce Force in \Vale do much to encoura~e people to tram m .. mbulance in the di trict in which th y are sta~lOn~d ; many of them Jom the Brigade and do very u eful work. The Pnory IS grc:teful to the Hon. Mrs. Robert Devereux, Lady Pre ident for Breckn?~ksh~re, for the han.d o.me trophy _he ha ve ted in the Priory fo~ competitIOn m the No.8 DI tnct, which include \Vale MonmouthshIre, and the Border County of Hereford. ' Increase in the mem~er hip of the Brigade in \"ale ha been a regular ~eature of each uc~e lve year' work; it ha ri en from fivc thou and m 1920 to. nearly nme thousand at the end of 19')~ . It l' par t'lCU 1ar 1y ~ncoura&u:-g to see fro:n the fol1ov\,'ing figures that the terrible di tre m the mm~g areas durmg the year 1928 did not preven t the maintenance of progreSSIve record.

W?ilst t?e Brig~de has been ~t~e?gthened in number, it ha devc10 ed also m actIve servlc:. iany DIVI IOns are maintaining -:\1eclical omf;rts Depots; on the mam roads and busy traffic centre the ambulance memb~rs ~re on duty at week-.e~ds, an? the nursing member work with the DIstnct Welfare Nurses, VISIt t?e sIck and supply nouri hment in pecial cases. The ?sual forms ?f publIc .duty are being continued, and a football :natch , carmv~l, proc.esslOn, and mdeed any public gathering would seem mcomplete wIthout ItS uniformed St. John members. A number of ambulance halls .. have. been erected by the local units, and are ,":sed as Headquarters m whIch the medical comforts depots are e~tablIshed and the members are able to meet for in truction and practIce. The Miners' Welfare Fun~ has recently decided that social halls are an asset to t~e com!llumty of the mining districts, and has given grants towards theIr erection. The halls at Pontycymmer, Bryn, Skewen,

161

Langland Bay, Glyncorrwg, Briton Ferry, Port Talbot, and Barry are already ve ted in the Priory, and several others are being erected. Competitions continue to be an effective means of stimulating interest and maintaining efficiency, and the Priory is grateful for the gift of eleven new trophic. There are now seventy cups, shields, and trophies vested in the Trustees for annual competition in the various Centres. Once again the Priory was asked to organize ambulance competitions at the Royal \Vel h Agricultural Society's Annual Show at Wrexham. In addition to open contests for teams of men and nurses, ambulance men in the ounty of Denbigh had the special privilege of competing for a trophy given by NIr. James A. Darlington, Chairman of the Denbighshire entre for competition by teams whose members were resident or employ d in the ounty. The \Vel h l~ailway Competition for the " Harry Webb}} Cup took place in ardiff on the 1 t November, 1928. A large gathering of railway officials and ambulance worker attended, and the trophy was presented to the Pontypool "A}} G.\V.R. team by the donor, Sir Henry 'vV bt, Bart. The No.8 Di trict Police ompetition promises to become one of the mo -t important ambulance event of the year. The Priory organized th C01l1petitiun at the reque t of the Di trict ecretary, Chief Constable J. . \\,il -on, .B.E., and the Hon. NIrs. Robert Devereux was able to attend and pr ent her trophy. The \\'ebh Brigade ompetitions took place on the 21st April, 1928. The A1 erdarc and Llanelly J ur ing teams were successful in winning til Champion hip trophie -, and representing \Vales in the final Brigade ompctition in London in May, when their po itions were third and eighth rcspcctively. During the ycar, thirty- even member completed fifteen years' 'crvice in th Brigade and received the ervice Medal of the Order, and sixt n bar \"cre awarded for additional periods of five years' efficiency. \\'aJ ; has recruited 197 m mber for the l\Iilitary Hospitals Reserve, and of til e, 80 have b en supplied by the Neath Corps. It is hoped to omplet the quota next year. Th Voluntary id Detachment cherne ha not made much progre , hut as a re -ult of a communication the Commissioner for ~Tales recently address d to ur ing Divisions there are now signs of advancement in tbi direction, and evcral units have decided to enrol. The Motor Ambulance Tran port Service i an increasingly important branch. In 1928 the car carried 4,553 case, and the mileage was 93, l1:Q. Thi r prc ents an increa e of 621 cases and 13,676~ miles on the previous year. In accordance with the terms of the Home Office decision, that Colliery own r' entering into a contract with the Priory for u e of its ambulances will be deemed as complying with their statutory obligations in regard to ambulance tran port, fifty-'one colliery companies and nine works were affiliatcd to the Service in 192 , and sixty-three workmen's Lodges arc ub cribing; over fifty- ix thousand men are in this way entitled to a call upon the service at any time of the day or night in case of accident or sicknes to themselves or any member of their family.

. The provis~on of adequate ambulanc tran port pre nt d considerable dIfficulty owmg to ~he ~any change in th ~ coalfield and, once again, a grant from the Mmer vVelfare Fund, whIch ha enabled to be maintain~d the excellent tandard of the rvice, has to be acknowledged with gratitude. Thr~e new ambulance were purcha ed t o replace old cars, and a new tatIon wa op ned at Pencoed. The r~port of the 1edi~al Comforts ~epot records a distinct leap forward ill the attack on slckne and dIsease. Five new depot w re ?pened, a larger number of article i sued, and greater a istance given ill the actual care of the ick.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER.

REPORT

OF THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER BRIGADE OV ERSEAS.

THE

BRIGADE OVERSEAS HEADQUARTERS, T. JOI-I 's GATE, E.C.1. Jvlay, 1929. THE DIRECTOR OF AMBULA CE, AlIIBULA CE DEPARTMENT, ORDER OF ST. JOH . SIR, I have the honour to submit my report on the work of the t. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas for the year ended 31st December, 1928. The vear has seen a decided increase in the number of new Divi ion formed~; 46 Ambulance and 11 Nursing Division have been registered during the year, making a total of 57 new Divi ion. Again t tlli increa e, however, must be set off the fact that it was nece ary to trike off 8 Ambulance and 5 Nursing Divi ion a di banded. The trength of the Brigade Overseas at 31st December, 1928, wa therefore:Ambulance Tursing

Divisions. 241 103

Members. 7,727 2,2 '9

344

10,016

This is an increase over last year's figures of 41 Division and 1,697 members. The strength of the Cadets of the Brigade O\'ersea at 31 t D cember, 1928, was 9 Ambulance and 6 Nursing Divi ion with a member hip of 461; an increase of 5 Divisions and 121 members. As foreshadowed in my last report the acti\ itie of the Brigade have been extended to Kenya and Bermuda where Division have be n formed. The work in Rhodesia has been extended by the formation of a second Ambulance Division and a Nursing Division i in proce of formation. During 1928 a great distinction wa conferred on the t. John Ambulance Brigade, both at Home and Oversea, when H.R.H. The Duchess of York graciously consented to become the Commandant-inChief of Nursing Divisions. I feel sure that all ranks of the Brigade Overseas will appreciate the honoUT which has been conferred by Her Royal Highness. Mrs. Lancelot Dent, A.R.R.C., the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief of the Nursing Divisions of the Brigade Overseas, continued her tour of India and South Africa which she commenced in 1927. I am under a debt of gratitude to Mrs. D ent for so kinnly having undertaken this tour, which I feel sure will have permanent and far-reaching results. This toUT, which in its extent and duration exceeds that of any other visit overseas by a Superior Officer of the Brigade, will have much practical value and help in no small measure to a clearer understanding of the

position overseas. I regret that it is not possible, in the space of this report, to give a detailed account of Mrs. Dent's movements, but everywhere she was received with great cordiality; increased enthusiasm for the work ha always followed a visit by Mrs. Dent, and in some places Divisions have been formed as a direct re ult of her visit, an evidence that Mrs. Dent has not spared herself in the interests of the Order. Owing to the fact that but few members of the Brigade Overseas were in England this year the annual conference, as such, was not held, but all overseas members in England on 26th June were invited to a meeting at t. John's Gate. The meeting was addressed by Sir Percival \Vilkinson, after which the members were invited to witness the film of the Order and tea was served in the Chapter Hall. The number of ervice 1edals i sued to members of the Brigade Overseas during 1928 was 71, and the number of Service 11edal Bars was 23. Au:ong the contributions received from overseas for the Ophthalmic Ho pItal at Jerusalem was one from the Canadian Divisions of the Brigade Over eas for £55 for the Grand Prior's Special Fund. }1y thanks are clue to them and to all other overseas members who subscribed to thi humanitarian work of the Order. . In October a delegation of the members of the Order, consisting of lr John P. Hewett, 1rs. t. John Atkinson, Major Colin ~1acRae and the Lady ~Iargaret lacRae, left England for a visit to Australia and ew Zealand. Only a few details are yet available, but both in Ceylon and Au tralia they received an enthu iastic reception and their visit wa much appreciated. They are not due to reach ew Zealand until the middle of January. \Vith regard to the work in each Dominion I have to report that in : USTRALL\.-The Brigade continues to maintain its strength and activity. 8 New Divisions were formed during the year) which include the formation of 4 Cadet Divi ion in the New outh \Vales District. A feature of the year' activitie wa the inclusion of wireless talks by the New outh ,Vale Di trict taff in the Broadca ting programme from .rclney. At the do e of the year the visit of the Delegation of the Order was much welcomed and an intere ting programme of visits arranged. I much regret that during the vear the death of Lieut.-Colonel T. Morgan Martin occurred. Colonel ~10rgan 1artin was for many years an active worker for the Brigade Overseas in New South ,~Tales and recently held the appointment of Acting Commissioner of that District. CANADA.- The strength of the work in Canada is now on the increase and during: the year several new Divi ion have been registered and others are III process of formation. A feature of the year is the revival of the work in British Columbia where it has been dormant for some time. CEYLO .-The strength of the Ceylon Police Corps continues to increase. Mrs. Lancelot Dent stayed on the Island on her way to India and reports very favourably on her reception there, a al 0 does the Delegation of the Order which during a short visit was able to inspect a number of the members of the Ceylon Police Corps.

HOI G Ko G.-New Divisions have been formed in this Colony and again a fine record of public duty has to be recorded. I DIA.-The formation of new Divi ions, particularly in the No. 1 (Lahore) and the No.2 (Calcutta) Di tricts is a hopeful sign of progress. During the year the resignation was received of ir Alexander Murray, C.B.E., as Commi. sioner of the No.2 (Calcutta) Di trict and my thank are due to him for his many year of service. The vacancy wa filled by the appointment of Major H. t P. Hewett, an Officer of the Order. Mrs. Dent spent a con iderable time in India and travelled to nearly every part of the Empire where the Brigade is represented. he reports that the units of the Brigade Overseas are very efficient. NEW ZEALAND.-The standard of work in New Zealand i very high and the strength and efficiency continues to increase. 13 new Divi ions were registered during the year. For the purposes of more efficient administration, part of the Otago Di trict wa formed into a eparate District to be known as the Invercargill District. This bring the number of Brigade Districts in New Zealand to 6. SOUTH AFRICA.-The work in South Africa continues to increa e, (13 new Divisions being registered during the year) and there has been an all round advance in the efficiency of the units. The Brigade in the Union is indebted to the Defence Force for much valuable support. I am pleased to be able to report that the President of the enate, the Speaker of the House of Assembly, the Police, and many other public bodies have expressed their appreciation of the work of the Brigade throughout South Africa. Mrs. Dent, who travelled to practically every place where the Brigade is represented, as well as to many other, wa everywhere received with enthusiasm and in many place an even further interest in the work has been aroused by her visit. The work of the Brigade in the Union suffered a great loss in the resignation of ir \Villiam Hoy and Lady Hoy on their removal to Rhode ia. The great advance of the Brigade on the South African Railways wa greatly due to their influence and encouragement. Mr. J. More has very kindly con ented to become the Acting Assistant Commissioner in charge of the outh African Railways and Harbours District of the Brigade in succession to Sir William Hoy. WEST AUSTRALIA.-The work on the railways is being maintained as well as the town Divisions at Perth. There is a pro pect of a revival of the work in the Goldfields area. The member of the Delegation of the Order were warmly received on their arrival in West ustralia. As I have mentioned earlier my thanks are due to Mrs. Lancelot Dent for the valuable work she has performed as an ambassador" in India and South Africa and Ceylon during the tours she has so kindly undertaken, and for the helpful reports she has sent home from time to time on the work of the Brigade in these Dominions. I have pleasure in thanking the Chief Commissioners of the various Dominions-Lieut.-Colonel G. Barclay of New Zealand, Dr. Bennie Hewat of South Africa, Dr. T. Storie Dixson of Australia, Sir Henry Mill Pellatt of Canada, and Sir Henry Moncrieff Smith of India-for their valuable work for the St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas and It

AUSTRALIA.-Dr. T. Storie Dixson, the Chief Commissioner for the Brigade Overseas within the Commonwealth of Australia (West Australia excepted), reports:The visit of the British Delegation of the Order was of the greatest importance. Sir John Hewett and the other members of the Delegation had full opportunity, not only to note the growing strength of the Brigade in the Commonwealth, but also to witness its usefulness at the Beaches, Racecourses, and other pleasure resorts in the various States.

New South Wales reports continued progress during the year. It is especially gratifymg to know that new Divisions have been formed in such large Suburbs as ianly and anterbury, where for many years efforts have been made to bring this about. The formation of 4 new Cadet Divisions is also a pleasing feature of the District's development, meaning as it does valuable recruiting ground later on for the adult Divisions of the Brigade. The registration of 8 new Divisions has increased the strength of the _ ew South Wales District by 123 members, the total number at 31 t December, 192 , being 1,093 comprised in 50 Divisions. With feelings of deepest regret the Chief Secretary was advised in July last of the death of olonel T. 1\Iorgan l'.Iartin, C.M.G., Ex- cting Commissioner of the District. I cannot pay too high a tribute to Dr. Martin's loyalty to the Order, as shown in his efforts for many years to advance its interests in New South \Vales. This expression of feeling has been shared by the whole District. The ric/aria District of the Brigade Overseas has during the past year fulfilled all reql1lrements, havmg paraded for duty on many occasions, the chief being Anzac D<ty, Henley Day, and EIght Hours Day, in addition to which members have attended consIstently at practically all football grounds, at motor racing and cycle road racing, cricket matches (including the Test Matches); and on many minor occasions. On PublIc Duty the members in uniform have rendered First Aid to upwards of 2,000 cases and privately to something over 4,000 cases. The number of members in the Victoria District is not large, but there has always been a sufficient number to meet all requirements. There is every promise of an increase of at least 2 new .l. Tur Lng and 1 new Ambulance Division during the coming year. Mr. G. F. Hussey, Assistant Commissioner, reports satisfactory progress of the work in SOllth .·l11stralia Distnc/, especially in connection with that done by members at sport meebngs.

Queellsland.-:. 0 definite steps have yet been taken, nor I think expedient to be taken, to reform the Di trict. The Q.A.T.B. in the meantime is meeting Brigade requIrements wlth its most efficient service. Tasma/lia.-After strenuous efforts on my part, Northern Tasmania is giving eVIdence of its desire to renew activities and there is some hope that the formation of classes now bemg organised by the reformed Centre of the Association will lead to the e tabhshment of a Brigade District at no distant date. Also in South Tasmania where a new constitution has been adopted for the Centre, operations have begun, and there is every reason to think that an early start will be made with classes followed, it is hoped, by the formation of a District of the Brigade. Canberra (Federal Capital).-In conjunction with the Australia Red Cross efforts arc being made to organise St. John classes. In order to further the movement, I took the opportunity to visit Canberra and interviewed the Chief Commissioner and the leading Doctors, and hope that ultimately Brigade work will be started there.

CA ADA.-Dr. C. J. Copp, on behalf of Sir Henry V. Mill FellaH, c .v.o., the Chief Commissioner for the Brigade Overseas in the Dominion of Canada, reports:The Annual Inspections of the Ambulance and Nursing Divisions have been held and I cannot speak too highly of the loyalty of the Officers and Members of all ranks to the spirit of the Order and devotion to the duties each is called upon to periorm. A most cordial reception of the inspecting officer was arranged for in

In Saskatoon the two :L\ursing Divisions are carrying on a most useful work in the Community's sen'ice. The re-organised Edmonton Central Nursing Division is doing good work and has justified its re-establishment. It is regretted that the Calgary Tursing Division has intimat ed that its members can no longer carryon practices and dnlls. No new recruIts have b een received into this Division and the older members feel that the time has come when they musl disband.

In \Ymd sor the Border Citi s DIYlSlOn has the confidence of the public and is performmg ItS dutIes well. The t. Thomas Central ursing Division maintains a very high standard of effiCIency. Tn H amilton both the Hamilton Nursing Division and the CanadIan \\-estinghouse Ambul ance Divisions are carrying on a good work. The membership is not as larg as In former years, but there is good enthusiasm in those who sen-e . In ttawa t.he Central Nursing Division has maintained the standard that has made It th e first ~ TurSlTIg Division in efficiency in the establishment of Canada. The Perth entral Xursing Division and Port Arthur Central )\ursing Division have requested that they be permi tted to dis band. The year has b een most encouraging, for agam progress may be reported by th e formation of four new and re-organised Divisions, the membership being mcreascd from 853 at the end of 1927 to 939 at the end of the year 1928. The new or reorganised Divisions mentioned are : -

The number of cases attended on Public Duty is 1,930 and tbose attended" Tot on Public Duty" total 2,556, making a grand total of 4,486. This shows progress, and should stimulate every Officer and Member in the performance of such an important part of " Brigade Life." The annual Church Parades were all well attended on Sunday, 24th June, when special sermons were preached, at which the high ideals of the Order were placed before our members and the general public, wbich helps the former to carry on the work with renewed zeal.

C.I.E.,

T. H. Symons, on behalf of Sir Henry Moncrieff hief Commi ioner for the Empire of India, reports :_

The year 1928 records good progress and bears testimony to the growing public mterest whIch I shown in the actiyitJes of the various Divisions year bv , 'ear. In presenting hIS report for the year 1926 Sir Henry lIoncrieff Smith obsen-ed'that it .was ou_r aim to lllcreasc th~ efhclency of the existIng units that their good example might sLt~l1ulate the formatIOn of new ones. The very rapid development of our POSI LIOn SInce that date encourages me to hope that this process is now taking place. In the report \\-hlch I had the honour to submIt last year, I recorded the formation of five new D1\ ISlons. I am happy to be able to report that during 1928 interest has not slackened, and that seyeral new Ambulance and Nursing Divisions were added, bnngll1g the total to 40 Ambulance, 6 Xursing, and 3 Ambulance and 1 .l. Tursmg add DI\'Isions at the end of the year. Thus in the last two years the total number of Dl\islOns has lllcreased by 9 and the enrolment of members proceeded at an "'en greater pace. \\ e closed the year 1926 With a strength of 1,500 members, but the next two years saw an mcrease of nearly 33 per cent, and our present total strength is about 2,000. A resume of the reports whi ch I have received from the Assistant Commissioners of the four Districts is subjoined. The reports show that m every District man,publIC duttes were performed. I should like, however, to invite attention to two outstanding incidents. DUring the nots in Bombay. early this year, members of the Drigade turned out to help the civil authorities to deal WIth the casualties and .their pro~lptitude and efficiency led to the public acknowledgement of their sernces by Ih~ Excellency the Governor. He saId: "In ordinary times there is :-ery ltttle that IS spectacula~ about the work of an Ambulance Brigade. To the man 111 the street an am b~l ance ]S merely a closed c~r with a red cross, passing swiftly along, perhaps _ b~rrY111g to the scene of an aCCident or perhaps conveying to the hospItal some lllJurecl or Sick fellow mortal. H e little thinks of all the work of organization and time unselfishly taken from other pursuits that has b een devoted to bringing the men and the machine to the place where their aid is required and too often he lets the ambulance pass by unheeded until the time comes ."hen he or his friends fall a victim to some sudden calamity." The other noteworthy incident to which I wish to refer r elates to a squad of th e Calcutta Medical College Division. They were on duty on board a steamer carrying

pilgrims to the Sagar lela. A man fcll ovcrboard, and the accident. was not r:-otic.ed until the attention of some of the members of the squad was attracted by hiS cnes for help. Some of them at once jumped into the water and pulled. t.he man out. He was in a state of complete collapse, and but for the prompt first aid he recclved, it is doubtful whether he would have recovered. The incident took place at 9 o'clock in the evening, and it must be acknowledged that. these men showed exceptional presence of mind and devotion to duty under difficult circumstances.

Home Nursing training. In the European Division Mrs. W. E. L. Simpson, M.B.E., was succeeded by Mrs. M. Hamlyn, and in the Indian Division Miss Moule replaced Mrs. Yorke as Divisional Superintendent.

o. 1 District.-A Church Parade of the various ursing and Ambulance Divisions in Lahore was held on 12th February, 1928. During the absence on leave of Irs. Battye, Lady District Superintendent, Mrs. hIes Irving, Lady District Officer, supervised the r ursing Divisions. Thc members of these Divisions have shown grcat keenness in their work and the credit for the efficient and active state of the Divisions is largely due t.o t.he efforts of Mrs. 1iles Irving. Members of the ursing Divisions were on duty at thc Armistice Day Service. The Indian Division of the orth-western Railway Corps completed its fifth year of existence on 31st March, 192 . The Division's record of service contmues to be excellent. At the All-India competitions held in Lahore in February, 192 ,the Division won the All-India Ambulance Brigade Shield for the third t.lmc in succe sion. It also won the Sir Frederick \Vhyte ll-India Educational up. Onc squad of the Division was on duty at the Armistice Day Service on 11 th 1\0vember, 192 ' . The Carriage and \ Vagon Division of the Torth-\\'cstern Eailway orps has carried on regular activities throughout thc year. Assistance was givcn by mcmbers ofthis Division to about 4,000 employees injured in the Railway Workshops throughout the year. The Loco Division of the North-\\'estern Railway orps and the Simla Ambulance Division have not submitted any reports or rcturns. The No.2 Dis£yict.-This District still maintains its position as t.hc largest, both in the number of Divisions and membershIp. ExclUSive of th t"o East Indian Railway Divisions, this District possesses 19 Ambulance (mcludmg 1 adet) and 2 Nursing Divisions, with a total membership of 4. Fl\f C of the e ambulance Divisions are of recent formation. The members have been very active during the year undcr review. They attended the Gunga Saugor Mela, Sivaratri Mela, Chaitra ankrant.i l\Iela, H.a1.ha Jatra Festival at Puri, the Car Festival, the Lunar Eclipse, Swimming and \Valking contests, athletic sports, the proclamation and Armistice Parade, etc. Fast Aid was rendered in over 665 individual cases of fractures, cholera, smallpox, etc. The Annual Camp of Exercise was held in 1\larch on the Ellenborough ourse, Calcutta. The total strength of the camp was over 100 Including the District Superintendent, District Officer, Divisional Surgeons, non-commlS ioned officers, and men. Sir Alexander Murray was in command, the District Superinte ndent. second in command, and the District Officer in immediate charge and conducted Company, Squad, and Stretcher Drills. Dr. S. . Dutt, the Adjutant, gave lectures in First Aid, assisted by Dr. S. K. Ghosh and other Medical Officers. The camp was inspected morning and evening by the District Superintendent, Dlstrict Officer and the Sanitary Authorities. The Commanding Officer, Sir Alexander Murray, paid several surprise visits, inspected the amp, and made satisfactory reports as regards the health of the Camp, rations, cooking, administration, management, and discipline. The Commissioner made a farewell inspection of the Camp on the eve of his departure from India, and was greatly impressed. He inspected the 300 officers, n.c.o.s and men on parade, as well as the 3 Sisters wit.h their Superintendents and Officers under the Lady District Superintendent, l\Irs. Adela Cottle, C.B.E. The Bengal Provincial Centre of the St. John Ambulance Association held its annual competition on the 17th ovember, 1928. Thirteen Divisions from the Brigade entered for the Competition. The 6th (Indian Police) Division, which has carried off the Police Shield every year, competed for the Brigade trophy this year, and won it. The 15th Railway Division came third, this being the first occasion they have entered . His Excellency Sir Stanley Jackson, Governor of Bengal, inspected the Ambulance and Nursing Divisions, attended by the Assista?-t Commissioner, Major H. M. P. Hewett. His Excellency expressed much satIsfaction at the smart turn out. The European and Indian Nursing Divisions continued their usual activities of attending dispensaries and carrying out propaganda on behalf of First Aid and

No. 3 Dislrict.-There was no increase in the number of Divisions, but the existing Ambulance and ursing Divisions maintained their efficiency and usefulness in spite of a slight fall off in the membership strength, which was 545 in 1927 and 533 at the end of 1928. The City of Bombay, with its unending variety of public functions and its large number of road accidents, provided many opportunities to the members of the various Divisions to render skilled aid, and they were as keen as ever in promptly answering calls made upon them. They were called out on duty on 54 occasions, during which 398 cases were treated. In addition 492 victims of road accidents were treated by the members of this District. By far the largest number of these cases were dealt with by the Parsi Ambulance Division. The Bombay Corps was inspected by His Excellency Sir Leslie 'Wilson, Governor of Bombay, on the 10th March, 1928, when the Parsi Divisions, with their Cadet units, gave a demonstration of First Aid and Home ursing. The programme included demonstrations of treatment of the different types of accidents . His Excellency followed the demonstrations with great interest. He afterwards presented Service Medals and Bars, distributed the Challenge Shield, Cups, Prizes, and awards, congratulated the winners and thanked them for the enthusiasm with which they worked, adding" How thankful I am personally as Patron of the Five H. 'Week for the presence, during the whole time when the Fete was open, of the representatives of the Brigade." No. 4 District.-This District consists of the St. John Ambulance Corps, comprising 6 Divisions, with a total strength of 240 on 31st December, 1928. During the year under report there were 39 parades and 2 inspections; and the members of the Corps treated 1,427 cases of accidents or sudden illness . They were on duty during the athletic sports and tournaments of 11 schools, 4 colleges, 12 private clubs, and during the two sea-bathing festivals. The services of the Corps were as usual requisitioned during the rational Health and Baby vVeek held on the South Indian Athletic Sports Grounds, the annual sports celebrations of the Madras Schools and Colleges, and the Annual Park Fair Sports and Exhibition, etc . On 12th December the Corps was inspected by the District Superintendent, Madras District; and on 14th December the annual re-examination was held. Under the auspices of the orps 540 men and women passed the St. John Ambulance Association in First Aid; and 44 obtained voucher certificates, 2 medallions, and one a label. This, in brief, is the record of another year's work in India. During the 25 years which have elapsed since the first Division was established in the Bombay PresJdency, the organization has been slowly but steadily e:x-panding in all directions, and it has now arrived at a posi tion which augurs well for the future. The scope for the organization of Cadet Divisions is large in this country, and we hope to see a rapid improvement in the position in this respect in the near future, as soon as the officia11Ianuai of the adet Course is in our hands. As mentioned in my last report the Parsi Division in the o. 3 District is this year celebrating its Jubilee, and on this occasion I wish to record my appreciation of its long record of good service under the superintendentship of 1r. D. F . Panthaki, l\I.B.E. The records in your office bear testimony to the zeal, energy, and devotion with which l\Ir. Panthaki has promoted the activities of the Brigade organization in Bombay, and I need hardly detail here his many services. His length of service is only equalled by his loyalty to the Brigade. Finally I wish to express my thanks to the Assistant Commissioners and the other Di trict Officers who have ungrudgingly gi ven so much of their time and service in maintaining and developing the efficiency of the Brigade.

NEW ZEALAND.-Lieut.-Colonel G. Barclay, O.B.E., the Chief Commissioner for the Brigade Overseas, within the Dominion of New Zealand, reports:The year 1928 has been a successful one, and progress is reported in all the Districts.

THE ST. J OHN AMBULA CE BRIGADE OVERSEAS.

R EPORTS FROM DOMI IONS.

The membership has increased to 1,518, while 14 new Divisions (9 Ambulance and 5 Nursing) have been Iormed. The annual reports sent in by the Corps and Di\"isions show that the number of public services undertaken by members of the Brigade continue to make an astonishing advance, being 2 ,523 against 21,629 for the preceding year. The number of cases of "First Aid attended on Public Duty" was 12,621, against 10,912 for the previous year, and 7,937 for 1926. The number of cases of " First Aid not on Public Duty" was 13,415, the figures for 1927 being 10,075 and Ior 1926 6,284. Transport continues to occupy a prominent place in connection with our activities and the number of removals by the Brigade for the year was 1,779 against 1,051 Ior the year previous. Cases nursed privately by members of the Nursing Divisions totalled 497 against 297 for 1927, while the number of Hospital attendances was 21l. The custom instituted two years ago 01 taking a record of Public Duty undertaken on a given day was again followed, Saturday, 21st Jul y last, being selected. The r eturns furnished gave most satisfactory evidence of the activities of all units and showed a considerable advance of the figures for 1927. The following is a summary:Sports Grounds Members on Cases District. Attended. duty. Treated.

of the Centre, the District Nurses, besides Lecture Rooms for the Association and practice place for all the Brigade units. Already the advantages of such Headquarters are b ei ng manifested by increased activity in the work of the Order. A new Division (Nursing), which was formed in Christchurch has for its personnel offtcers and members of the Girl Guide organization, who are over the age of 18 years . This suggests a new field for recruiting. The new Ambulance Division in Christchurch has b een formed from among members of the Territorial Field Ambulance Unit, the majority of whom have completed or are about to complete their period of military service, and who desire to continue their connection with ambulance work. In \-"ellington and Dunedin a considerable amount of recruiting has taken place from among the Hover Scouts. The work of members of the various ursing Divisions in ,Vellington is deserving of mentIon. Owing to an outbreak of influenza a number of the nurses at the \Vellington Public Hospital were incapacitated and a request for assistance was made to the local nursing units . This 'was promptly responded to, and within a few hours several members reported for duty. Thirty-eight members attended daily for several weeks, 208 attendances being registered. The appreciation of the Hospital Board \vas conveyed to those concerned. 1\11' best thanks are agalll due to members of the Brigade staff in the various Districts for their support during the year.

Changes have taken place among the senior officers 01 the Brigade. In the Auckland District Dr. Hilda TorthcroIt has resigned her pOSlt1On as Lady orps Superint endent of the Auckland Corps. In the ,Yellington Dlstnct Miss 1. S. Fossette has been promoted from Lady Corps Superintendent, \Yelltngton, to District Officer for Publicity Duty, while Ir. H.

Allpress to Corps Supenntendent, and Mr. J. H. Melton to Corps Officer. Miss C. E. Benjamin has been appointed as Lady Corps Superintendent, and Miss H. J. Vine as Lady Corps Officer at Wanganul. The Canterbury and \Vest Coast District suffered a loss bv the death of District Superintendent H . J. Hoddinott (Serving Brother of the - Order).

Ambulance Competitions were held at Auckland, Wanganui, \Vellington, Timaru and Dunedin, and caused keen interest. The Cadet Ambulance Division formed at Wanganui 12 months ago has b een most successful, and it is now pleasing to be able to report that the second unit is now in process of formation in connection with the ational R eserve Division in Auckland. It is hoped that one or more Cadet Nursing Divisions will come into existence during next year. A great want in the City of Wellington has now been supplied by the provision of Ambulance Headquarters. The new premises were officially opened by His Excellency the Governor-General, and provide accommodation for the Secretary

SOUTH AFRICA.- Dr. Bennie Hewat, Chief Commissioner for the Brigade Overseas within South Africa, reports : On account of the great distances between Districts in this country, and also the distance to be travclled by outlying Divisions, the Annual Inspection is quite an undertaklllg. Dunng my tour I personally inspected 41 Ambulance and 21 Nursing Divisions throughout the emon . This occupied almost four weeks travelling by car, rail, and steamer, and a distance of at least 4,470 miles was covered . It IS With pleasurc that I have to record a very gratifying advance in the allround errlclency of the \ arious Di visions inspected and that this is general throughout the l'nlon i confirmed by the reports of the respective Officers I specially detailed to carry out the inspection of Divisions in the outlying Districts. At the vanous lllspecbons of the larger centres I .vas accompanied by Sir Edward Thornton, K.B.E., Director of :'IIedical Services for the nion Government, or his rcpre. entatlves. I deSIre to express my appreciation of the valuable support which the Ddcncc Force authontIes aiTord to the Brigade throughout the country, and I have 1.0 thank the Director of Medical en·ices for his continued interest in our work. \\'e are privileged to have the continuance of certain Franking privileges for correspondence, our uniform material for Ambulance Divisions, which is the same as that issued to the Defence Force, is obtainable at the Defence Ordnance Stores, and members of the Brigade tra,·clling in uniform are conveyed over the South AfrIcan Hail\\ays at a single fare for the return journey. ome of the in pections show a number of members absent from parade, but in extenuation of this it must be mentioned that the inclemency of the weather pr vent d many living in outlying areas from being present, whilst many w ere at work. The Divisions of the Brigade have attained a high standard of efficiency throughout-the result of continuous and intensive training. The work of the Bngade is becoming much better known, as is evidenced by the many calls for Public Duty. These are lllcreasing every year, and letters of appreciation and thanks have been received during the year from the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the IIouse of Assembly, the Police, and many public bodies. During the year we had the pleasure of welcoming 1\1rs. Lancelot Dent, A.R.R.C ., the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas. Mrs. Dent made an extensive tour of the Nursing Divisions throughout the Union of. South Africa and Rhodesia, and I desire to express my sincere thanks and also that of the Nursing Divisions under my command for the great personal interest shown by her and for the valuable assistance she rendered to the work of the Order in South Africa. His Excellency the Governor-General and H.R.H. Princess Alice were present at a lecture given in Cape Town by Mrs. Lancelot Dent on the work of the Order,

when His Excellency graciously presided over a large gathering of members or the Brigade and general public. The St. John 's Day Church Parades were invariably well attended by the various Divisions throughout the country. The Chief Commissioner and Staff attended service at St. George's athedral, accompanied by a large parade of Ambulance and ursing Divisions, and on this occasion Mrs. Lancelot Dent placed a wreath on the '.Var Memorial on behalf of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas, in memory of those who had fallen in the Great \Var. I r egret to record that following a serious illness, l\Ir. C. G. Dowthwai te had to r elinquish his secretarial duties at Headquarters, and I desire to express my sincere thanks to this officerfor the loyal and efficient service h e has rendered. I am retaining him in his rank as District Superintendent attached South African Headquarters so that h e may carry out any special duties I may assign to him from t.lme to time. The duties of Di trict Superintendent, South African H eadquart.ers St.aff were taken over by Mr. Alex. M. Anderson during April 1928.

B ERMUDA.-Mr. J. Fray, Divisional Superintendent, on behalf of Maj or the R ev . A. E. H orn er, District uperintendent in charge, reports: vVe have b een faced with many difficulties, some of which have been removed, others are still with us. One is the difficulty of getting the Pohee members of the Division to attend drills, owing to varying hours of duty. At the moment we are endeavouring to interest more of the civilian elemen t to take the classes, and in this connection, owing to the fact that we do not get the amount of accident work III Bermuda the work of the Brigade does not corne so much to the notIce of the publIc. Aft er a year of work we are a little on the credit side financially; unfortunately, we have had one or two ent ertainments that have not been successful OW1ng to causes b eyond our control, i.e. other attractions having been held at the same bme. Again we have to thank the Corporation of Hamilton for the use of the Lty Hall and lighting free of all charges; th ey are an'lou to see the work succeed. Also Drs. 'Wilkinson and Curtis for lecturing and Majors Allnutt and Jebb for cxamllllllg, whose help has b een a great en couragement.

charge of

The year has been one of continued progress and increased efftciency. It will b e noticed that there are many supernumerary officers. This IS considered necessary on account of liability to indisposition and the fact that every year some of the officers leave the Colony temporaril y for health rea ons. \\'c havc enrolled a number of ladies and gentlemen (European and Chinese) as Emergency Drivers; most of these own their cars and give their services as drivers, when requi reel [or duty. W e record with the deepest regret the death of Mrs. Hickling, lII.B.E .. for many years Divisional Surgeon of the Victoria Xursing DIvision. A few days before her death she received the news that H is Majesty the Elllg had been pleased to appro \'e her promotion from Serving Sister to Officer of the Order. Her funC'fal was largely attended by members of .the Brigade, by Government officials, and b~' the public. All members of the Bngade have attended lectures in First Aid and In the ca e of the vVomen's Divisions III Home Nursing also, and all have passed the Annual examination . The Brigade has also undertaken the instrucilOn In Fi rst Id of the Police and Firemen, of whom 322 passed the first examination, ] 5 the secone!. and 1 the third . Relations between our members and all ranks of the PolIce and Fire Brigade are most cordial. The members of the Victor;a and the Y.'.V.C.A. 1 ursing Divisions are at present engaged in a course of instruction in practical nursing and ward work at the Government Civil IIospital. Twenty-four of these Ambulance Sist.ers attend there twice a week, and the course is expected to last three months. Practical demonstra~ions . by the British . Sisters are being given in b ed-maki ng, chart-recording, feedlllg, llftlllg, and washlllg helpless patients, simple dressings a nd invalid cookery. The members of the Nursing Divisions have attacked the work with a will and accepted hospital discipline and instruction cheerfully and diligently. Our warm thanks are due to Miss Girling, Principal Matron, and to Mrs. Elliott, Matron of the Government Civil Hospital, and her staff for guiding, encouraging, and instructing our Ambulance Sisters.

Competitions held during the year. The annual competition for the Ralphs Shield" awarded for general efficiency was held at the end of the year. After a series of searching tests extending over two days the results were announced by Colonel ]. S. Bostock, C .B .E., R.A.M . C . , as follows : Marks . 498 1. Kowloon Division . 484 2. King's College Division 479 3. Indian Division 473 4. Mong Kok Division 469 5. St. Joseph's College Division 449 6. Y.M.C.A. Division It

K. ampbell, D.S.O ., M.C . , R.A.M.C.) r eported that the work throughout was of a very high order, and that the standard was much more uniform than usual, only 49 marks separating the lowest from the winning Division. oloneI Bostock, addressing the Parade when announcing the award, congratulated the Bngade on the high standard attained. The Railway Division did not compete, holding an Inter-Squad Competition in li eu thereof for the" Ho Fook " Efficiency Cup. This was won by the A " Squad . The Lau hu Pak" Cup-for best record of actual duty performed during 1928-awarded to the Mong Kok Division. The Holyoak" ttendance Cup-for highest percentage of attendance during the year-awarded to the Railway Division. R.A.M.C.,

Swimming Tyophies.-As in previous years great attention was given to swimming; practically every member of the Corps is an expert swimmer. Life Saving demonstrations were given at the various beaches where thousands of people bathe during the summer. everal times during the season members of the Brigade w ere called upon to render help. At the annual competitions the swimming trophies were awarded as follows: "Ho Tung" Life Saving Competition Cup awarded to Kowloon DIvision; the hater" haUenge Cup (Brigade Championship) awarded to the St. Joseph's College Division; the Nam Yeung" Cup awarded to the Kowloon Dl\.lsion; Team Race awarded to St. Joseph's College Division .

Public DltIJI.-Representatives from all Divisions attended the King's Birthday celebrations, l\\vanti Races, Jockey Club Races, and Gymkhanas, Football ::.'I1atches, Sports l\1eetings, Fires and the Ministering Children's League Fete. On Armistice Day wreaths were laid on the Chinese '.Var Memorial and the Cenotaph. At Chinese Tew Year the streets were patrolled by the various Divisions, as in previous years . Our m ~ n have turned out punctually to all fires and are at all times ready to assist the Police and Fire Brigade in any useful capacity. Their services are much appreciated by the public as well as b y the police and firemen, with whom they work regularl y and harmoniously. The cases treated included one of electrocution and several ~ram and motor accid~nts. Most of these were major cases, only a few minor ones b elllg reported. A peculIar case was that of a child bitten by a b ear in a circus . .O ne of our men . was pr~sent, and treated the sufferer suitably. One of the most lllteresbng and lllstructLve events was the participation by the members of the Brigade in the l\Iilitary Tattoo. Apart from the usual duty TOutine, stretcher parties from each Division took part in the Fort scene, and had practical e}"''Perience in collecbng dead and wounded" whilst under fire". These members were congratulat.ed by the :M ilitary Officers in charge and b y the General Secretary on the highly efficient manner in which they carried out their duties. On Armistice Day the orps, in ~esponse to the invitation of the Military Authorities, sent ten officers as r epresentab yes to the ceremony at the Cenotaph, where a wreath was deposited by the Corps .

Division erected a hospital tent in which they gave an exhibition of their special duties . His Excellency after a careful inspection invested Mr. Morris and distributed the various shields and trophies won during t.he year; addressing the parade he highly commended the Corps on the display and work done. The proceedings terminated with a march p ast of the Corps, led by the 20 motor vehicles and the Government motor ambulance. In addition to the Annual Inspection, each Division was inspected at least once during the year by me or 1\1r. 1\1orris who acted most efficiently as Officer in harge of the District during my absence; several general parades of the Corps were held, the senior officers being present, and 1\1r. Ralston in command . The~e parades have proved very useful, and although they entail much hard work on the part of all, they are appreciated by the members. \ Ve continue to receive every assistance in training from the officers and n.c.o.s of the Royal Army Medical Corps, and have to thank them cordially for t.heir help.

OF THAT CORPS.

Corps a re distinguished by heavy type.

The work of the Divisions has been excellent during the past year. There is a steady increase in the number of members who do public duty in each Division. Perth o. 1 Division and Perth ursing Division are very actively engaged in the Metropolitan area, and the Railway Divisions are doing public duty in most of the country areas. A ursing Division has been formed on the Goldfields at Kalgoorlie, and another at Fremantle towards the end of the year. The visit of Sir John Hewett and Mrs . Atkinson in November last has given the work a great impetus and was greatly appreciated .
