REPORT OF THE CHAPTER:aGE N ERAL FOR THE YEAR 1931. THE CHAPTER-GENERAL has the honour to submit to the Members and Associates its Report for the year 1931. CENTENARY CELEBRATIONS. The outstanding event of the year was the celebration of the Centenary of the re-establishment of the Order in England. The week occupied by the Celebrations was characterized by perfect summer weather. The Celebrations themselves were honoured throughout by the presence of members of the Royal Family. Additional interest was also lent by the fact that many t. J ohn members came to London from practically every part of the Empire, and for a large number of these it was their first visit to England. The official Celebrations were as follows :-On the night of Monday, June 22nd, a Banquet, followed by a Reception, at St. James's Palace. On Tuesday, the 23rd, His lajesty the King held an Investiture at Buckingham Palace. On \Vednesday the 24th (St. John's Day), a cer monial service was held in Westminster Abbey, followed by th e Annual General Assembly in the Great Hall of Westminster School, kindly lent for the occasion by the Head Master. On Thursday the GranJ Prior gave an Afternoon Party at St. James's Palace to member of the Order, the t. John Ambulance Association and the St. John Ambulance Brigade both at H ome and Overseas. On Friday, the 26th . were held the Empire First Aid Competitions, at the Wharncliffe Rooms, Great Central H otel, ~larylebone, and on Saturday, the 27th, the Review of the Brigade at Home and Oversea.s was held in Hyde Park. THE BAXQUET A TD RECEPTIO_-. The Banquet wa pr sided over by H.R.H. the Grand Prior, and the guests numbered 110. At the Grand Prior's table, in the centre of the hall, were the chief representatives from overseas, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Prelate of the Order, and the Sub-Prior. Each of the twelve mall tables was presided over by a senior member of the Order, either a Bailiff Grand Cross or a Knight of Justice. Evening dress, with decorations, was worn. There were no speeches. Immediately after the Banquet the Grand Prior held a Reception, receiving the guests in the Tapestry Room. The occasion was also honoured by the presence of Princess Helena Victoria and the Lady Patricia Ramsay. The room used on this historic occasion were the Armoury, the Tapestry Room, the Queen Anne Room, the Levee Room, and the Gallery, where a buffet supper was served. The string band of the Grenadier Guards played during the evening. The Grand Prior shook hands with every guest as he or she wa announced, some 900 being present.

CE TE ARY CELEBRATIONS.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GE TERAL THE INVESTITURE.

At the Inve titure at Buckingham Palace, which took place in the Ball Room, Hi Majesty the Sovereign H ead of the Order wore his Field Marshal's uniform with the Order' black mantle over it. The members of the Chapter-General of the Order wore either uniform or Court dress, each member wearing the black mantle with the large white eight-pointed cross embroidered on the left breast. The white, scarlet and gold decoration of the Ball R oom presented a splendid picture with the King and Queen and the members of the Royal Family on the dais, round which at the back were grouped fifty members of Chapter-General in their black mantles and scarlet tunic. In the body of the room were seated approximately 500 visitor. Each of the 160 member who were invested wa allowed to bring one visitor. The remaining onlookers were chiefly composed of members of the Order. Chapter-General moved in proces ion into the Ball Room, headed bv the Cross of the Order, at 11.15 a.m. It is intere ting to note that this beautifully-worked silver cross is the same cross that was u ed by the English branch of the Order during the 1Iiddl Age. At 11.20 their Royal Highnesses The Prince of \Vale , the Duke of Gloucester, Prince George and the Earl of Athlone entered the Ball R oom and took their places at the right of the dai. At 11.29 the l\Ia ter of the H ousehold ordered everyone to stand, and at 11.30, to the strain of the National Anthem from the band in the Gallery, the King and Queen entered the Ball Room and took up their places on the dai . The Prelate of the Order (the Archbi hop of Canterbury) then read the prayers which are always u ed at the meeting of Chapter-General at St. J ohn's Gate, after which His Iaj esty ordered the vi itor to b eated. Meanwhile the recipient who were to be invested had been brought by the U hers into the back of the Ball Room and drawn up facing the dais. The Grand Prior then turned to the King and pre en ted the recipients to His Maj esty, exhorting them in the tim -honour d manner to live worthy of the eight-pointed cro s with which they were about to be invested. The Royal Princes were all invested as Bailiffs Grand ro ,the King placing the broad black riband of that grade 0 that it re ted on their right shoulder. The Princes then took their places on the dai behind the King and Queen. The other recipients were then invested grade by grade with their insignia, the King shaking hands with each. They then pa ed out of the Ball Room through a short gallery and in again at the back of the room. At the conclusion of the ceremony the Prelate read the customary prayers, after which the members of Chapter-General filed past Their Majesties, their names being announced by the ub-Prior. The simple ceremony opening and ending with prayer, and the magnificent setting of gold, scarlet and black made an indelible picture on the minds of all those who witnessed it. THE COMMEMORATION SERVICE.

The Commemoration Service, which was held in Westminster Abbey, was a wonderful spectacle of media:!val pageantry, pomp and circumstance. The Brigade and the Association were represented by selected men and women frGill all Districts, and all the Overseas members

wearing uniform took part. The uniformed contingents formed up in the Cloisters and marched in to the Abbey through the north gate of Dean 's Yard, with the nursing sisters leading, headed by H.R.H. the Duchess of York, Commandant-in-Chief of the Nursing Divisions of the Brigade. The procession entered the Abbey by the Great West D oor. When these had taken their places in the South Transept, ChapterGeneral moved in proce sion from the ancient Chapter H ouse into the Abbey by the West Cloi ter D oor, where they were joined by the Grand Prior, the ub-Prior and the Dean of Westminster. The procession then moved to the west end of the Abbey and turning passed slowly up the nave to the Sanctuary. Those members of Chapter-General entitled to uniform wore it, and the effect of the scarlet tunics partially covered by the black mantles and the picturesque ecclesiastical dress ofthe Abbey clergy will long be remembered by everyone who was privileged to see it. The congregation numbered 1,500. The sermon, which was broadcast throughout the world, wa preached by the Prelate of the Order. At the conclu ion of the service, the General Assembly took place, hapter-General again moving in procession from the Chapter H ou e to th Great H all of \Ve tminster chool. On the way the Grand Prior in pected a Guard of H onour provided by the V/estminster School O.T.c. GEXERAL A

The anadian Addre wa read by Captain .:\1. H. Vernon, the Canadian repr s ntative at the Centenary Celebrations. Eeport on the work of their re pective Departments during the past year " 'ere read by the Ex cutive Officers, after which the Grand Prior <.,~id:-

" The Report ju t ubmitted to u by our Executive Officer record progre .in our variou activitie for the pa t year. They bear wItne _ to the effiCIency of our organization at t. J ohn's Gate and to the devoted ervice of all engaged in our work for humanity. I will only empha ize what eem to me the alient feature. " \Ve learn with much gratification that last month the King in Council \\'a pI a ed to affirm the cherne whereby the Church of t. J ohn, Clerk !1well, with it ancient Crypt i re tored in perpetuity to the Order, and wIll henceforth be appropriated a the Church of the Grand Priory. " Th.e actual e. tabli hment of a Commandery for :New Zealand, to the forma.tlOn of WhlC~ ~i Maje ty gave hi approvalla t year, would have been In all probabIlIty accompli hed by now, but has been temporarily delayed owmg to the fact that Sir H eaton Rhodes, the Knight Comm~nder, at .the la t moment was obliged to abandon his intention of commg to thIS country for the e celebrations and for the purpose of settling the final details. "Mention of New Zealand leads me to refer to the splendid work performed by the Brigade in that Dominion during the recent terrible eart~quake at Napier and Ha tings. Reports we have received of their serVIce are beyond prai e. " I mu t congratulate our Ophthalmic H o pital Committee on having al~-round

" As ~egards .the A~b~ance Brigade at H ome you \-"ill recall that w~en SIr PercIval \hlkm on wa appointed ecretary-General and DIrector of Ambulance, the post of Chi f Commis ioner of the Brigade was v~ca?t, and a a temporary mea ure he was appointed Acting Chief CommIssIOner. The burden of respon ibility for the three office has been a ve~y heavy one, and I am glad to be able to announce that I have appomted Majo~-General .Si~ J ohn Duncan, a Knight of Grace of the a.rder, t~ be ChIef CommIssIOner of the Brigade and that he will relieye I~. P ercIval next n~onth. ir J ohn Duncan has had a di tingui hed military car~er, and IS a"?le and willing to give a large amount of hi ~ time an~ make, hIS ne",,' appomtment his principal work. . Confreres we meet to-day under unique circum tance , and have stnve.n to make our Centenary Celebration worthy of uch an hi -toric OccasIOn. " Especially do \"e rejoice that many of our brethren from over -ea ' h~ve b~en able to be present and that e\'eral have be n in\'c Led by HIS Majesty Our overeign Head. " I trust that all :"ho have made the long journey will feel that they ha,,:e bee::r well repaId and that they " 'ill return home d t rmin d tu d~) all In therr power to continue their work for Humanity under th bann r of the Order. " It ?nly remains for me to expres our grateful thanks Lo tll D an of \Vestm~_I1ster for allowing u to hold our sen'ice in th Abbey of West~Inster and for the excellence of the arrangement made b\' him.:elf and hI staff, also to thank our Prelate for hi in piring addrc '- .;' At the conclu ion of the Grand Prior' peech ~Iajor-General the Earl of Scarbrough, the Sub-Prior, said :" I should like to. offer His Royal Highnes the rand Prior th grateful .thanks o~ thIS Assembly for the gracious manner in \\'hich he has presIded over Its deliberations, for the encouraging remark he made about the work of the Order, and for the kind ,,'ords he thought .fit to express ~ o. me. 10~e than ever are we indebted to Hi Royal Highne ~or presIding on thIS occasion, because from the \'ery momen t that the Idea of Centenary Celebrations was mooted we have had the wholehearted support of the Grand Prior in our desires and it i due to that support, . un~wervingly given for the last hvo years, that these desires and aspIratIOns have been brought to a successful achievement this week. ! am bound to add that we have been greatly concerned lest t~e s.tram of these days should prove too seyere even for the wonderful vItalIty and energy of His Royal Highness. We are thankful to realize th~t he has bee~ able to r~lieve us entirely of that anxiety. Now ?ur mm~s ';1t thI~ moment are, I think, naturally centred on ~he "?~autIful serVice In whIch we have just been taking part and on the Insprrmg words of our Prelate. H e spoke of the past and he linked the

CENTE T ARY CELEBRATIO S.

Conid.

past with the present. As regards the ancient Order from which we have our origin I suggest that it might be likened in its inception to a first attempt at an unofficial League of Nations with two ideals, ' Pro Fide' and 'Pro Utili tate Hominum'. Unfortunately in those early days, and in the centuries that followed, 'Pro Fide' meant perpetual warfare and political strife, and when, in the Napoleonic era, so far as the Order was concerned, the warfare and the struggle for temporal power ceased and nothing was left but the Hospitaller work, it is rather sad to reflect that its character as an international and sovereign organization practically suffered extinction. Its revival in this country and later on in the British Realm, so far as our main activities are concerned, stood for' Pro Utilitate H ominum " which takes us back to the earliest ideal of the ancient H ospitallers, ' For the good of mankind.' " That is what the Grand Priory stands for to-day and it is on this basis that we appeal for public support and approval. It is the ideal that we are striving for in these modern days, to reproduce all that is best and most true of Christian chivalry. It is an ideal that even in the confused days in which we live is unassailable and unchallengeable, and it is an ideal that appeals alike to our brothers and sisters from overseas (many of whom we are happy to welcome here this week) and also to ours lves at home who are working under the eight-pointed cross, as th yare, in the service of others. " Confreres I ask you by acclamation to accord a mo t hearty vote of thank to our Grand Prior." The vote of thank was carried with acclamation. Hi Royal Highne s the Grand Prior said :" unfrere, at this advanced hour in the afternoon I do not propose to keep you for more than a moment . I would only wish to assure you and all here present of the very great pleasure it has been to me to be able to a ist in the ceremonies which have marked our Centenary. I am ure they must have impres ed everyone who has had the pleasure of wiLne ing them, :Jlay I as ure you how greatly I appreciate the kind manner in which you always recei\'e me \"hen I come amongst you . I think you know there i no one \\'ho takes a deeper interest in our Venerable Order than doe your Grand Prior." Lieut.-General ir Aylmer Hunter-\Yeston, the Chancellor, said the Order wi hed publicly to thank Dr. Costley-\ Vhite and the authorities of \Vestminster chool for their great kindness in placing at the di po al of the Order the Great Hall in which the Assembly had taken place, and \vhich had lent such a dignified background to their deliberations. After the meeting the Chapter-General returned in proces ion to the Chapt r House. AFTERXOO~ PARTY AT ST . JA~IES'S PALACE.

The Grand Prior gave a garden party at t. J ames's Palace on the afternoon of June 25th, which wa honoured by the presence of H.R.H. the Princes Mary, the Lady Patricia Ramsay and H.R .H. Princes Arthur of Connaught. The 1,100 guests who attended this party numbered amongst them the whole of the Overseas contingent, and a large number of members of the Order, the As ociation and the Brigade at H ome. T~e Grand Prior took the opportunity of talking over t. J ohn matters WIth many of the leading people both from at home and abroad.

The third prize was a similar medal in ilver, the fourth and ucceeding prizes being similar medals again but truck in bronze. Every member of every team received the appropriate medal. The Earl of Athlone very graciou ly promi ed to give each member of the Southern Railway (Barn taple) Team (who took part in the competition for purpo es of compari on, and incidentally gained the fir t place), a cup as a memento of the occa ion. THE CENTEl ARY REVIEW. Saturday, June 27th, was the la t day of the official Centenary week, and was the occasion of the Review in Hyde Park of orne 4:,000 :r1ember of the St. J ohn Ambulance Brigade, both at home and Over ea, by H.R.H. Prince Arthur of Connaught. The battalions were made up of contingents from every District in England, Ireland and vVales, and the Association and Brigade Over ea were represented by the visitors who had come to England for the Centenary Celebrations. The weather was perfect and the parade formed an impo ing ight drawn up in line of battalions in quarter column, the women on the right, the men on the left. His Royal Highness spent a considerable time inspecting and talking to the contingents from Overseas, amongst whom were many individuals personally known to him.

Contd.

After His R oyal Highness had finished his in pection the parade marched past him in column of fours. Over a thousand tickets had been issued to members of the Order, the Association and the Brigade and their friends who had expre ed a wi h to be present as pectator on this occasion. After the Inspection, His Royal Highness Prince Arthur of Connaught, issued this special message, through the St. J OH)l' AMBULA);,CE GAZETTE , to all Brigade units in every part of the Empire :" It is with the greatest pleasure that I have attended this parade and inspected St. John units from every part of the British Empire. I believe that the Centenary Celebrations of the Order will have a farreaching effect throughout our great Commonwealth of ation. " I wish you all good luck and success on the battlefields of Life." H.R.H. The Prince of \\'ale sent the following message for the information of all ranks : " T. JA:'IES'S PALACE, S.\V. " To LORD CARBROUGH. " It i a great di appointment to me that I cannot be with you in Hyde Park thi afternoon a I know vv'hat a fine turn-out of the Brigade there will be to end the week's Centenary Celebrations. " I specially regret mi ing the opportunity of seeing on parade many of tho e from Overseas who have in recent years welcomed me in their o,;vn home. I incerely hope that they are enjoying their stay in this country, and I wi h them a safe journey when the time comes for them to 1 ave. " The importance of Ambulance ervice and Fir t Aid i nO\\'adays universally recognized, and I congratulate all members of the Brigade on the spirit in which they carry out their mo t admirable and devoted work. "EDWARD P. " June 27th, 1931." In connection with the Centenary Celebrations an appeal for fund for new building adjoining t. John's Gate \Va made to member of the Order, the t. John Ambulance A ociation and the St. John Ambulance Brigade and their friend . Colonel J. L. 1 eman, C.:'l.G., C.B.E . M.V.O., the honorary Director of the Appeal, report a follows:The C ntenary year afforded a fitting opportunity to engage upon wor k long con tern pIa ted of coUec ting money for the exten ion of t. John's Gate. It must be obvious to all that the existing buildings are in ufficient in ize and character to hou e the many branches of activity of the Order. the A sociation, and the Brigade, and that in consequence the work of all three has been considerably hampered for man} years. Fortunately it has been po sible to secure, through the \-vi dom and foresight of its members, ufficient land adjoining the Gate for the nece:,sary exten ion, making the task before u considerably lighter, and placmg upon tho e who have the privilege and honour to serve the Ord~r the respon ibility of taking advantage of this opportunity of makmg our Headquarters worthy of its dignity. The next task was to find office accommodation for the issue of an

PROMOTIONS, ADMISSIO. S, ETC.

REpORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

appeal which may last three years, or even more. This necessity itself demonstrates the fact that accommodation at the Gate is limited, otherwise the office would have been housed there. Fortunately in the Order's long history it has always been found that every emergency finds the man, and in this instance Mr. A. J. MaundyGregory, a Commander of the Order, most kindly offered, free of all charge, uitable office accommodation for the Appeal at 38 Parliament Street, '.Vhitehall. He also con ented to act as Deputy Director of the Appeal. These initial difficulties having been overcome, the Appeal was· formally launched in June by his Royal Highne the Grand Prior, who enjoined upon everyone in the Order t o embrace this great opportunity of furthering the humanitarian work for which the Order and its foundations exist. First among those to respond to the Appeal were His ~Iaj esty the Kin g, the Sovereign Head, Her ~Iaj esty the Queen, Hi Royal Highness the Prince of '.Yale , his R oyal Highness the Duke of York, her Royal Highness the Duchess of York, and His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, the Grand Prior, all of whom most graciously and generously upported the Appeal. '.Vith such encouragement it was but natural that other members of the Order responded with such fervour that already the sum promi ed or received is nearing £20,000. The fact that this success has been gained during the worst period of financial depre ion which the British Empire has ever knO\vn peaks volumes for the magnificent spirit that exi ts within the Order, and the determination of all to see it fittingly housed in buildings more suited to its present needs. It ha never been more difficult to collect money, but this difficulty, instead of being a deterrent is actually proving a spur to endeavour, and if the fine spirit already shoWTI is maintained, and all re pond who have the honour of belonging to the Order, the ssociation and the Brigade, victory is clearly within ight. But there is a tendency in all good organizations to assume that the task is being ably conducted by the few, and for the remainder to " wait for orders" on the assumption that their expres ion of intere t may be thought to be interfering. Fortunately there is no need for such fear , as an appeal of this nature requires the help of everyone entitled to lend assistance. Others again have delayed sending their contribution in their anxiety to give as much as they can afford, and their inability to decide what this will be until the new taxation is known. Forilmately this period of uncertainty has now ended. \Vith nearly £20,000 already subscribed within the past seven months there is every hope that the £100,000 required will be obtainable within the three years originally e timated. To the pessimistic mind £100,000 appears a difficult sum to obtain, yet, if every member of the Order, the Association and Brigade, gave what he or she could well afford this amount would be collected within two years. Let us all say, therefore, that the ta k is so difficult as to be most acceptable, and that none will rest content until the day arrives when we see St. John's Gate made really worthy of the Order to which we are so proud to belong.

LIFE-S VING 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. Sergt. A. P. McNally, 7th Bn. The Middlesex Regt., T.A. At about 9 p.m. on March 19th, 1931, a fire occurred in the upper storey at 25 ightingale Lane, Homsey, opposite the parade ground of the above Battalion. Sergt. A. P. 1\1cNally saw the flames, scaled the water-pipe, broke the window, and entered the room where a six-months-old child was lying in a cot at the far side of the room. He then made an effort to reach the cot, and succeeded in dragging it partly across the room, but had to give up the attempt 0\\ ing to the violent flames and heavy smoke. He made a second attempt and succeeded in pulling it to the window, but by this time the child was in a mass of flame and it was not possible for him to pick it up. As a result of hi efIorts Sergt. :'IIc 'ally received several cuts and minor burns.

AWARDED A CERTIFICATE OF IIOXOUR. Sergt. George Jones, Usk Division, St. John Ambulance Brigade. On August 24th, 1930, George Jones was supplying a car 'with petrol and R. T. H. Etheridge was near by filling a motor-cycle with petrol. A lighted match set fire to the petrol, which spilled over Etheridge's legs, burning his clothing. Jones succeeded in getting Etheridge to the ground and beating out the flames with his hat. After extinguishing the fire on Etheridge, Jones, although burnt on his hands and arms, returned to the pump and cut the pipe lea ding from it, the flames from the pipe being then approximately 10 feet high. Etheridge was afterwards able to walk to his house near by, but was confined to his bed {or eight weeks. Jones had to be treated by his doctor for burns and shock.

AWARDED A CERTIFICATE OF HO OUR. Pte. George Bunning, Stamford Division, St. John Ambulance Brigade. On October 11th, 1930, in the Cleaning Department of the Spinning Deparlment of the Celta Mills, two men (King and Oxer) were working at one end of the room and George Bunning at the other. Suddenly, through a mistake in the use of the chemicals by King, a large amount of sulphuretted hydrogen was produced, and he was immediately overcome. Bunning saw King suddenly collapse and Oxer stagger out into the passage, and immediately went to the assistance of King and dragged him about 10 feet out into the passage when he (Bunning) also collapsed. Artificial respiration was applied to both men who responded to the treatment. Bunning was unfit for work for a month.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

AWARDED CERTIFICATE OF HONOUR. Dr. John Anthony Kelly, Assistant P olice Surgeon, Leeds City Police . At 8.30 p.m. on June 29th, 1931, Thomas Bapty, aged 25, was in a coal bunker at the Leeds Corporation Electricity Power Station, Kirkstall, trimming coal. This bunker is a steel container lined with cement used for storing pulverized coal for consumption in boilers. It is about 24 feet high and 12 feet wide at the top. Entrance is gained through a manhole about 18 inches square at the top. Bapty was on an iron platform about 17 feet from the top. He was wearing a lifeline but whilst engaged with his work he slipped off the platform and fell in the coal, which is in the form of dust, immediately becoming immersed up to his waist. Dr. Kelly was sent for and on arrival with the aid of a lifeline entered the bunker several times and administered restoratives and attended to Bapty while rescue operations were in progress. Upon the arrival of the oxygen reviving apparatus from the Fire Station Dr. Kelly used it upon Bapty. At about 9.20 p.m. Bapty, who was then unconscious, was extricated from the bunker and taken to hospital suffering from the effects of suiIocation and an injury to the back. Three of the persons who assisted in the rescue operations were overcome by suffocation and were attended by Dr. Kelly. The rescue operations were attended by grave danger to the rescuers by reason of the possibility of being engulfed by further falls of coal dust; risk of suffocation by breathing coal dust; lack of air in the very confined space in the bunker; and lack of light owing to the flood light being obscured by a fog of coal dust.

AWARDED CERTIFICATE OF HO OUR.

P .. Charles Edward Field, Metropolitan Police. On October 5th, 1931, two police plain clothes men were on duty at the corner of Li son Grove and Marylebone Road, London. A horse drawing a heavy load of timber approached out of control, the driver having been throvm to the ground. The two men stopped the traffic and P.C. Field tackled the horse. He checked its pace, but was hit by the shaft of the wagon and knocked down and one of the wheels passed over and broke his right leg. Field had managed to push the horse to the ide so that the wheels of the wagon locked against the curb and it came to a standstill.

This pamphlet contams a translatIOn mto English, together with an introduction and notes by the Librarian, of the Statutes of the Master J obert (1172-7),

LIBRARY AND MUSEUM.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

relating to the provision of white bread for the Hospital, and to the services of the Church: of the Statutes of the Master Roger des Moulins, (1177-87) relating mainly to the Ho pital and to the charities of the Order: of the Statutes of the Master Alfonso of Portugal (1203-6), relating to the organization and administration of the Order: with extracts from t~e ' Judgements and Customs of the Hospital' (an early thirteenthcentury document), relating to Chapter-General, the reception of Brethren, and the enrolment of Confratres. "The second publication is Colonel King's The Knights Hospitallers in the Holy Land, the first of the three volumes in which he hopes to complete the history of the Order of St. John. This first volume deals with the earliest beginnings of the Order in J eru alem down to the dramatic fall of Acre in 1291, and the expulsion of the Hospitallers from the H oly Land. It contains twenty-three illustrations and thirteen maps and plans, and is published by Messrs. Methuen and Co., price 25s. " During the year Colonel King's work on the Seals of the Order has been completed. It is entitled The Seals of the Order of t. john of j erusalem, and is the first serious study of these seal a a whole that has yet been made. They cover a period of 800 years, from the twelfth century down to the present day, and are representative of all nations and of all those classes of society to whom the use of seals was a necessity. The book, which contains 22 plates in collotype, is being publi hed by Messrs. Methuen and Co., price 18s. " During the past year the memorial of Fr. \Villiam \V ton, Grand Prior of England from 1527-4.0, was removed from t. Jame' Church, Clerkenwell, under the supervision of the Library Committee, to its new position on the north side of the crypt of the Priory Church. It is one of the only two remaining memorials of the ancient Grand Priors of England, the other being that of Fr. Thomas Tresham, rand Prior from 1557-9, which is in Rushton Church, Northampton hire. In the ordinary course of events these two memorials would have b n placed originally in the Priory Church, but its seizure by the Crown in th sixteenth century rendered this impossible. " In July the Library Committee had the pleasure of nt rtaining to tea in the Chapter Hall representatives of the Anglo-American Conference of Historians, afterwards showing them over St. John's Gat and the Priory Church, and in November it had the pleasure of entertaining representatives of the British Association for the Advancement of cience. " Amongst the more interesting purchases for the Library and Iuseum were : " (1) L e Navigationi et viaggi fatti nella Turchia di icoli de Nicolai, published at Venice in 1580.

The Sunday Cinema Fund has refrained from embarking upon any new commitments during the year since its income would automatically cease in the event of the Bill to legalise the opening of Cinemas on prohibited days becoming law. The Committee has continued to meet the expenses of public duty in the Metropolitan area, the upkeep of the First Aid Station at St. Paul's Cathedral, the transport of poor patients and the provision of appliances to Medical Comforts Depots. The first aid appliances placed in Police Kiosks and Vans controlled by the Metropolitan Police have been found most useful, and an additional number of such Kiosks have been similarly supplied in new areas, while those supplied on the establishment of the undertaking have been repleni hed from time to time.

FOUNDATIONS OF THE ORDER ST. JOH

OPHTHAL fIC HOSPITAL AT JERUSALE 1.

The following i extracted from the Fortieth Annual Report of the Committee :\Yith the exception of In-patients whose numbers show an increase, there is a falling-off to record in the numbers of new Out-patients, Total Attendances, and Operations. This shrinkage is accounted for by the constant ill-health which has handicapped the staff during the year. The \~Tarden, too, was ab ent from duty for a while on a visit to London for the Centenary Celebrations. The Hospital was visited on 17th April by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Prelate of the Order-a notable event in any case, but made more so owing to the fact that no Archbishop of Canterbury had visited the Holy Land since His Grace's predecessor Baldwin, who landed at Tyre with an English army in July, 1190, and died at the Siege of Acre in November of the same year, nearly seven and a half centuries ago. On his return to England the Prelate wrote to the Chancellor as follows :Lambeth Palace, 13th June, 1931 .

My DEAR CHANCELLOR, During my visit to Jerusalem in April, 1931, I paid a special visit to the St. John ~phthalmic ~ospital, which is the special work of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem III J erusaJe.m Itself. The Hospital occupies a beautiful site, and the buildings seemed to me admIrably adapted to the purposes of a hospital, and the wards w.ere faultlessly clean and cool. The technical equipment seemed to be very complete and of a very

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GE JERAL

high standard. I was also much impressed by th~ new Annexc. which ~<l:s u een built on the other sidc of the road for the r eceptlOn of out-pailcnts wa1tlng .for treatment. Architecturally, it seemed to me very beautiful and well designcd f~r its purpose. I was still more impressed by the enthusiasm of Dr. Strathcarn and h1S staff. It would be presumptuous on my part to speak of his scie~tific ability as an ophthalmic surgeon, which is widely recognized. But I sh.ould hke to speak most warmly of hi zeal and devotion, shared by the who~e of Ius staff: I hcard many testimonies from many quarters of the benefits Wh1Ch the Hosp1tal confers upon all classe and races in Palestine, and as a Prelate of thc Order o.f St. John, I fclt proud that a work of m ercy so well conceived and carried on with so much devotion was associated with the Order. (Signed) COSMO CANTUAR.

The Registrar returned home at the end of the year, and his pl~ce has been filled by Mr. K. J. O'Day, M.D.(MELB.), D.O.M.S., who, WIth Mrs. O'Day, left for Jerusalem on New Year's Eve. . The Committee has offered the post of H on. Radiographer to Dr. \V. E. Thompson, Specialist Surgeon to the Government of Palestine, and a former Registrar of the Hospital. This is a new appointment. Welcome help has been given in Hospital and Annexe by Mr. Piggott, M.B., to whom the Committee extends its sincere. than~.;:s. There is no change in the British Nursing Staff. lIss Dlgh t, the Acting-:Matron, was invested by H. 1. the King with the In ignia of a Serving Sister at the Investiture in Buckingham P alace on 23rd June. The Committee regrets to have to report the loss by death of one of its number, Colonel D. J. Proby, who passed away in November. It also realizes that in the passing of Lady carbrough the Hospital ha lost a true friend. She took the greatest interest in the work of the Order in the Holy Land, and in 1926 she endowed a cot in the Ho pita!. The construction of the subway between the H ospital and nn xe has been commenced and should shortly be available for the taff. Th re is no other building operation in hand at the moment. The Hunt rWestern Memorial is still awaiting decorative completion. The erection of the South Block for paying patients ha , owing to lack of funds, been temporarily postponed. At the close of the financial year only £1,827 remained in the Hospital R estoration Fund, for which the Grand Prior made a special appeal in 1927. This um has ince been further depleted by payments on account of the ubway, which i ' estimated to cost £500 when completed. The Income and Expenditure Account shows that the co t to the Order of maintaining the Hospital during the year under review was £3,584 2s. 5d., compared with £3,612 ls. 4d. for 1930. ubscriptions and donations received in London have decreased by £150. The Honorary Treasurer in Jerusalem has again remitted an increa ed sum for the eleventh year in succession, and Lady Watson's total is now only a little over £100 less than the amount received in London. Th Committee can only repeat once more its deep sense of the debt it owes her for her devotion to the interests of the Hospital and for her constant endeavour to promote in every way the welfare of the Order in the Holy Land. The thanks of the Committee are also extended to Mr. J. Horne Stevenson, the Honorary Secretary for Scotland, for his help in raising funds for the Hospital-a duty he has carried out for very many years with unfailing assiduity.

The Committee has to express thanks to H.H. The Aga Kh~n for repeating his kind donation of £60, and to Mr: an~ Mrs. Car~mchael Christopher for a donation of £25 for some defimte pIece of eqUIpment, which may take the form either of a special chair for the O.P. Department or an instrument sterilizer for the theatre. The support which comes from ~he DOI?inions is al",:,ays especi~lly gratifying to the Committee as revealmg the mterest taken m th.e I:Iospital by the Overseas Branches of the St. J o~n ~mbulance AS~OClatIOn and Brigade. The creation of Comm~ndenes ~ South Afnca and New Zealand will, it is hoped, quicken mterest m the work ?f t?e Order in Palestine. New Zealand seems specially zealous in contnbutmg to t~e funds and deserves mention and an expression of thanks. Australia has had its financial troubles which doubtless account for its temporary absence from Lhe Subscription List, and South Africa is represented by the Capetown Nursing Division .J.A.B.O. The appeal of the Committee in the last Report for books for the staff library was answered by Mrs. B. Strong, Mrs. J. H. ~e?dley and Sir Charles Hyde, whose gifts have proved a welcome addItIOn t? the shelves in the H o pita!. More books are asked for, and they will be gratefully acknowledged if sent to St. John's Gate, as will be records for the Sisters' gramophone. . Mrs. Lothian Nicholson has again sent garments for the patIents, a useful gift for which the Committee tenders thanks.. . The Great Priory for England and Wales renew~d Its donatIOn of £52 lOs. for a special piece ot equipment for the Hosplt~l, and the m.oney has been spent in the purchase of a Potter-Bucky DIaphragm ~th a cas ette-a valuable addition to the equipment, and much apprecIated by the l\Iedical taff. For the third year in succes.sion a donation of similar amount has again been sent by the Great Pnory, and. the Committee await suggestions from the \Varden as to how ~est It may be expended in providing some new scientific item of eqUIpment for the benefi t of our t t lasters" the sick and suffering. Mr. E. S. Fellowes-Farrow, a Serving Brother of the Order, spent a week in the Hospital and Annexe, taking a cinem~ film wh.ich it is hope.d will prove useful for lecture purposes. Further mformatIOn about thIS film will be given on application to the Honorary Secretary at St. John's Gate. The Patriarch of J erusalem and all Palestine, His Beatitude, Damianos, who was a K.B.E. and an Associate Chaplain of the Order, was always friendly to the Hospital, and it was with regret that the announcement of his death was received at St. John's Gate. Invaluable help is given to the Hospital by the Ladies ' Linen Guild. Special attention may be drawn to the handsome metal bed-side lockers which the Guild has presented. These lockers were designed by the \Varden and have the badge of the Orderdisplayed on the front together with a small plaque stating that they are the gift of the Ladies' Linen Guild. There are twelve of these lockers in use now and it is hoped that the Guild may be able in due course to present the Hospital with the remaining thirty-eight. The Annexe, too, has benefited by the possession of a wheeled trolley with irrigator, also the design of the \Varden, and some half-dozen imposir:g glass jars stamped with the badge of the Order on

a red background, which adorn the helves of the Annexe Dispensary. The thanks of the Committee for all the Guild does cannot be measured by mere printed words. The Report for 1931 would not be complete if it did not contain some reference to the most unpleasant experience of the vVarden and Mrs. Strathearn (with whom was also the Dispenser, Mr. Kubeisy) on the J ericho-Jerusalem Road in N ovem ber last. It was fortunate indeed that the incident did not, as it so easily might have done, end in tragedy. They were motoring back from Jericho where the Warden has recently acquired a little villa, when at a bend of the road they suddenly saw their further passage barred by boulders. As they pulled up, five ruffians sprang from the ditch levelling their rifles and demanding the surrender of all valuables. '~'hile they were dealing with the Warden and the Dispenser in front, Mrs. Strathearn, seated behind, was covered with the barrel of a rifle thrust through the window. The \Varden had to give up his gold watch-a wedding gift from his wife-and all his cash, amounting to sixteen pounds and Ir. Kubeisy was likewise relieved of every piastre he possessed. The 'Varden v,'as actually roughly handled and threatened when he expostulated at his treatment. It then became Mrs. Strathearn's turn. She had her wedding ring roughly torn from her fmger and her coat stripped from off her back, and the bandits were proceeding to further indignities when the arrival of other cars caused them to divert their attention to what might prove more profitable loot. In all, sixteen cars were held up and their occupants robbed as the shades of evening were descending on the valley road and eventually the nine highwaymen-for there were four more of them who w re acting as vedettes-got away safely and the occupants of the cars were glad to proceed to Jerusalem, luckily carrying no hospital cases. It appears that the robber band was comprised of jail-birds who had broken jail at Amman. Some of them have since been captured. And so in the twentieth century is the Scripture parable of the dangers of the Jericho road brought forcibly to mind. The Committee has already unanimou ly passed a very sincere vote of sympathy 'with the \Varden and Irs. Strathearn in their terrible experience, in which was included, of course, the Dispenser, Mr. Kubeisy. The Committee is increasingly sensible of what the Order owes to the self-sacrificing devotion to their work of all the members of the taff of the Hospital under the inspiring example given them by the 'Yarden. On them lies the burden of maintaining the prestige of the Order of St. John in Jerusalem and in the regions round about. In thanking them once again for all they do for the patients, the Committee feels that its confidence in the single-hearted loyalty of every member of the Staff is not misplaced. ST. JOHN AMBULA CE ASSOCIATION. 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. J ohn Ambulance Association for the information of His Royal Highness The Grand Prior and the Chapter-General:-

REPORT OF TIlE CHAPTER-GENERAL

In none of the Overseas Centres has there been a falling-off of activitles ; in fact, rather the reverse has been evident throughout the year. While Canada has not been able to reach the high figure it attained last year, it has neverthele s again issued a large number of certificates, and it is gratifying to the Ambulance Committee to know that the ban on honours of the Order in Canada has now been removed, and that it will therefore be possible in the future to make recommendations to the Chapter-General of the Order for the recognition of the services of tho e Canadians ngaged in furthering the interests of the Ambulance Department in Canada. The work of the Ambulance Department of the Order in New Zealand now controlled by the Dominion Executive will shortly be taken over by a Commandery of the Order in New Zealand, the establi hment of which as from 24th June has been approved by the Chapter-General. I t is very fitting that the Commandery should come into being during the year in which such good work was done by the Association and by the Brigade in New Zealand in connection with the terrible earthquake which occurred at Hawkes Bay on 3rd February. The same afternoon a party of ambulance men left Auckland by war hip with upplies, and an hour later an ambulance and a further party of men left by road; later a second ambulance and a further party of men were di patched. On the same evening a party consisting of two nurses and several men left \ Vellington for Napier, while at \Vanganui men and women were standing by ready to leave at a moment's notice. The work performed by Centres and Di tricts in New Zealand in connection with th e disa ter earned the highest praise from all quarter. No less commendable has been the services of the ociation and the Brigade in Hong Kong, whose work in connection with the di a ter on the Kowloon Canton Railway on 20th April and the nti- J apanese Riots of 26th September is dealt with in the report of the Chief Commissioner of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Oversea. India continues to do all that is pos ible for the furtherance of the work of the Association, and although the progress in educational work which has been evident in recent years has received a check, it is clear that it is only temporary, and there is cau e for satisfaction at the progr s made in other directions. The majority of the Centres in Australia, where the general depres ion has perhaps been most acute, have issued a larger numb r of awards in the previous year, which is a very creditable performance. In ew South Wales preparations are being made for launching a campaign to start classes in the more remote districts. The impetus given to the work of the Association in outhern Africa by the establishment of a Commandery was referred to in la t year' report. This has been well maintained. The presence in London of many representatives of Centres over eas during the celebrations held to commemorate the Centenary of the revival in England of the Order of St. John, afforded opportunities to discuss with them problems with which they have been confronted or various matters which have been the subject of correspondence, and full advantage was taken of the opportunity.

ROYAL INSPECTION.

Last year the North Riding County Centre reported that H.R.H. The Prince of Wales had been graciously pleased to inspect the ambulance men from Middlesbrough and district, an event which recalled the first Royal Inspection of Association members by His late Majesty King Edward VII, whilst Prince of Wales, in 1889, also in Middlesbrough. This year the Centre was again honoured with a Royal Inspection. H.R:H. Princess Mary, Countess of Harewood, visited Middlesbrough and mspected some 600 members of the St. John Ambulance Association at the Jubilee Celebrations arranged by the Centre. COMPETITIO S.

The progress of this department during the past year has been satisfactory, although there has been a decrease in the turnover. This may be attributed partly to the general trade depression and partly to the fact that the abnormal sale of the First Aid Textbook, following upon its revision, is now diminishing. ST. PAUL'S

CE TE ARY CELEBRATIO

In June the Order celebrated the centenary of it revival in England, and the occasion provided an opportunity for the a embly in London of a large number of overseas repre entatives of the ' ociation and of the Brigade. All Centres and Districts had be n notified of the programme which had been provisionally arranged to commemorate this historic occasion, and made every endeavour to be adequately represented, but many were handicapped either by the va t distance separating them from headquarters, or by the depre ed condition prevailing throughout the world, or by both. everthele s orne 191 overseas members of the Order, of the Association, and of the Brigade were in London for the Celebrations, and their presence wa very gratifying to the officials of the Order and to those ot.her who had the plea ure of meeting them or of discussing with them matters of intere t or concern to the Order and to the Dominions and Colonies. Quite a number of the overseas members arrived individually, but the first official contingent came from outh Africa, and wa met at \ aterloo on 15th June by Major-General Sir Percival \Vilkinson, Director of the Ambulance Department, Colonel J. L. leeman, Chief Commis ioner of of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas, Mr. Dent, Lady Superintendent-in-Chief of the Brigade Overseas, and aptain A. .

Booth Skinner, Chief Surgeon, and Mrs. Skinner, Mr. A. F. Williams, Hospitaller and Almoner, and Mrs. Williams, who had arrived earlier. The next contingent to arrive came from Canada and consisted of twenty-eight members of the Brigade Overseas under the charge of Dr. C. J. Copp, the Commissioner; they came in two parties and, in the unavoidable absence of ir Percival ~ ilkinson and Colonel Sleeman, were met by Mrs. Dent and Captain Cahusac. The following Dominions and Colonies, whether at Association or Brigade functions, were represented: Australia, eleven members, including 1r. T. H. Henderson and Miss F. A. Read; Bermuda was represented by Mr. F. H. H. Harris; Canada was represented by thirty-eight members, including Captain 1. Vernon, Mr. D. Kemp Edwards, and Mr. J. J. Kinl y; Hong Kong was represented by fiss D. Jaques; India sent thirty- even r presentatives, including ir Henry :Moncrieff mith, ir Reginald Spence, Mrs. Hamlyn, irs. King, Mrs. Battye, and Dr. Dhanjibia Mehta; Kenya sent ix members; Ialta three representatives, including Iajor \V. R. Gatt and Mrs. Mifsud; Jew Zealand was represented by fourteen members, and outhern Africa by eighty-two members. On 18th June all overseas repre entatives were invited to tea in the Chapter Hall at t. John's Gate, where they were received by the Earl of carbrough, the ub-Prior, and the Countess of Scarbrough, ir Aylmer Hunter-\\T ton, the Chancellor, and Lady Hunter-\Veston, and other Executive Officers and their wives. They were shown round the Library and Museum, and were presented with copies of the History of the Order. The opportunity was al 0 taken to hand each a badge consisting of the Cros of the Order in enamel with a scroll bearing the name of the Dominion or Colony whence they had come. On 22nd June all members of the Brigade Overseas who would be able to attend the Commemoration ervice in \\ estminster Abbey, or the Review in Hyde Park in uniform, were asked to be present at the Queen's \Vesimin ter Drill Hall in the morning, where they were welcomed by Colonel 1 eman and Mr . Dent. Colonel Sleeman gave them a short address, referred to the various functions which had been arranged, and explained points in connection with the Grand Prior's Appeal for funds to erect new building commemorative of the Centenary. On the previous Saturday, the 20th June, Overseas members of the Brigade had had an opportunity of witne ing the Annual Inspection of the o. 1 (Prince of \" ales's) Di trict of the Home Brigade by the Earl of carbrough, and so were able to familiarize them elves with the parade ground on which they were to appear a week later. A full account of the various functions will be found on pages 7 to 12. With the Review in Hyde Park the official programme concluded, but a number of additional events had been arranged for the entertainment of visitors from overseas.

I will content myself with quoting the. aggreg~te figures of work perfonned by the vari~us Distri.cts and CountIes. I Wlsh, however, to. draw attention to the great mcrease m the Motor Ambula?ce Transport .sIde ~f the Brigade's activites; in. many cases the entIre transport In thls respect is still left to the Bngade to carry out. The figure show that 216 Motor Amb.ulances were ~perated by the Brigade, and during last year ~0,586 patIent~ were carned .to and fr?m ho pital or nursing homes; thIS compares Wlth 42,081 patIents carned in 1930. An analy is of the Returns sho,,: that 386,283 cases of accident and sudd n illness are recorded as havrng been attended to. by members of the Brigade, compared with 451,370 cases attended m 1930. Th~re were 13,095 attendances at Civil Hospitals by members of the Nursmg Divi ions, compared with 12,035 in 1930. In thi , my firt year, I have been greatly struck .by the k~enness ~nd efficiency of the Brigade in meeting all emergenCles and In carrymg out public dutie. In almo t all cases where ac.c idents have occurred memb r of the Brigade have generally beer: qUlckly on the. spot and attended the injured efficiently. At all Important fun~tIOns.. ar: d gathering. members of the Brigade have ~ho.·wn gr~at publIc sp~nt ~n attending in the necessary. num~ers. ~t IS ~mposslble to menb.o?- In detail th numerous case m WhICh theIr asslstance ha.s been utihz~d, but I would like to draw attention to the followmg outstandmg example : The Bentley Colliery Disaster, o. 5 District.-The report reads:" The di a ter occurred on the 20th November, 1931, and the news was sent to the Doncaster Rescue Station that rescue men and ambulance men were required to deal with an explosion. . . " The Donca ter Rescue tation, which comprises the local collienes in that area, i constituted of members who are all members of the t. John Ambulance Brigade. A large number of rescue men a?-d ambulance men re ponded to the call, and ren~ered w?nderful serv:ce to the victim, many cases of which were very senous owmg to extensIve burn ." The report goe on to record: "The funeral of the victims took place on the 25th ovember, when 450 Officer, ur ing Sister! and Ambulance men attended under the charge of District Officer Buntmg ..

On thi occasion members of the following Corps and Divisions performed mo t valuable services : Bentley Colliery Division, Jew Edlington Corps, A kern Main Corps, Brodsworth lain Corps, Doncaster Corp, Harworth Colliery CIa , Denaby lain Corps, and faltby Main Corps. In regard to tIle routine public duties, th following are typical of the ""or k carried out:By No.1 (Prince of \Vales's) Di trict, in connection with the opening of Parliament, Lord Mayor's Show, Armi tice Day at the enotaph, and Road Patrol duty in connection with the chneider Trophy Flight.

I have evidence that on all uch occa ions valuable assistance has been rendered to the public. .In connection with the work carried out byur ing Divi ion, I WIsh to thank the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief for the great as_i::,tance given ~o me. since I took over office. In addition to undertaking many mspectIons, the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief arranged 7,44,.1 ~tter:dance~ a\ Provinc~al Hospitals and .Girl Guides' camp. ervice In GIrl GUIdes camps IS not only a serVIce of first-class importance, but a great asset to the Brigade in linking up its work with the " Seniors" of the future. ROAD ACCIDE T SERVICE.

~rom Easter to September no fewer than 688 First Aid posts were in

e~Istence throughout England and \Vales ; this compares with 550 Fir t

AId Posts for the same period in 1930. The figures to hand show that 1~,859 roa~ accidents .were treated by our personnel, which compares wIth ~,082 m 1930 ; .mileage for road accidents are not kept separate by all umts, but the mileage reported by eight Districts totals 37,003. As my predecessor ~emarked, no section of the work of the Brigade d~mands more s~lf-sacnfice than that rendered on the highways in dealing WIth motor accIdents.

Owing to the increase in motor t!"affic and the i?cr~asing number of accidents, I consider that this serVIce must grow In nnportance. The above figures show that in the various Distri~ts and Cou~ties t~e road accidcnt service is receiving increasing attentIOn, ,?ut I ~lsh t? Impress on all Commi sioners the necessity of even extending thIS servIce where possibl. I realize that the service ~ake.s great demands on ~he member~, who have to sacrifice much of theIr leIsure hours and holidays to thIS work, but its great importance justifies even further efforts being made to extend it.

During 1931, 1,093 ratings completed a course of seven days' training; this is the largest number on record, and represents 85'7 per cent of the total complement. The Inspecting Medical Officer reports :-" The individual reports from the Instructing Medical Officers on the Reservists' training were up to the high standard which was attained during 1929 and 1930." The total strength of the Military Hospitals Reserve is now 1,556, an increase of 239 for the year. Seven hundred and ten Reservists underwent a week's course of training at a Military Hospital. The reports from the Hospitals at which these men trained sbow satisfaction with the duties performed, and in each case the Reservist was recommended for further training. There were 242 Voluntary Aid Detachments with a total strength of 7,780, of which 1,632 are mobile members.

The Shields, Cups, and Prizes were pre ented by H.R.II. The Duche of York, Dame Grand Cross, Order of t. John, and Commandant-in- hid Nursing Divisions. It gives me pleasure to record the continued and invaluable help given to these Competitions by Mr. John Iaxwell and If. Joseph Gro sman, of the British International Pictures, Ltd., by providing free of charge all the scenery and actors for the Team Test (men and women). I als.o desire to place on record the thanks of the Brigade to the Judge. ' Committee, Judges, Organizing Staff, and Stewards for their invaluable services. MEDICAL COMFORTS DEPOTS.

These depots continue to serve a real purpose, and during the course of a year articles of all kinds required for the sick room are lent at a mall charge, if any charge at all. RESERVES.

The Royal Naval Auxiliary Sick Berth Reserve is at its full establishment, viz. 1,275, and has a long" Waiting List".

CENTENARY CELEBRATIONS.

The rigade greatly appreciate the important part it was invited to fulfil in the ntenary Celebrations in June. Th culminating day so far as the Brigade was concerned was the Royal Review in Hyde Park, when just under 4,000 members representative of all ranks were inspected by H.R.H. Prince Arthur of Connaught, K.G. Hi Royal Highness stated that he was most impressed by the mart turn-out of the Nurses and Ambulance men, and by the splendid way they marched past. The Parade was representative of all parts of the Brigade at Home. CARD INDEX SYSTE1I.

The ard Index y tern originated by my predecessor is gradually nearing completion, and when completed will be of the greate t as istance in d aling with Member' servic s at these Headquarters. I am indebted to the Officers-in-charge of Units and Secretaries for their willing help, and for the great deal of trouble taken by all of them in correctly completing a set of Index Cards for their Divisions on behalf of the Index ystem at Brigade Headquarters. ACCOUNTS.

I have carefully studied the accounts submitted by the various Corp and Division. These were usually carefully made out in accordance with in tructions. I have been greatly struck by the strenuous efforts which have been made to raise locally the considerable amount of money requir d to carry out the work of the Brigade. The large amounts ubscribed in these hard times i eloquent testimony of the appreciation of the public of the work which is being done and of the untiring efforts of the members of the Brigade to raise the necessary funds. In almost all ca es the Corps and Divisions were living within their means and showed a successful balance credit.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

OBITUARY. It is with ?eep ~y.mpathy with the relatives that I have to report the deaths of rr \Vllham Bennett, K.C.V.O., urgeon-in-Chief; Mr. \V. Harvey Reeve, O.B.E. (Commi ioner No. 3 Di trict), and Major A. Hammer ley Johnston, O.B.E. (Acting Commi ioner No. 6 Di trict). Their deaths are lamented by all who served under them and by those who knew them personally. The large amount they accompli hed i a fine example for those who follow to emulate with just pride. CONCLUSIO . ly ~epo~t.would.not be comple~e without special reference being made to the m Pl!-I?g a 1 tanc~ ~t all h.me afforded to the Brigade by a great many Mumclpal Authontle , ChIef Con tables and iembers of their Forces,. the.l\I~dical.Profe ion, whose uns.elfi h labours enable the Brigade to mamtam Its hIgh tandard of effiCIency, the Pre s, e pecially the County Press, for the great help given in making known the work of the Brigade and, in many cases, for it a istance in rai ing fund to enable our members to carryon their ervice, and finally to all ranks of thi great organization for the loyal upport and good-will they have accorded me since I took office. There are many member of the public who have yet to learn of the national importance of the Brigade, and it i hoped that, as the Brigad believes in deeds, not words, the bright example et by member of the Brigade may encourage others to give a portion of their time and their means to th~ ~reat work of diminishing human ufiering, for which so many op~ortumh~s are offered by the t. John Ambulance Brigade. In conclusl~n, I W1 h to thank all members of the Brigade for their loyal and .efficlent support and for the ex.emplary manner in which they have carned out therr often arduous dube.

During the year, 117 Service Medals and 50 Service Medal Bars were awarded by the Order to members of the Brigade Overseas, and 340 Service Badge were issued by the Brigade Overseas Headquarters. These figures show an increase over those for the previous year. It was a matter of much satisfaction to me that the Brigade Overseas wa represented so well at the Centenary Celebrations of the Order, when 163 Brigade Overseas members travelled long distances at their own expen e to be present. The largest contingent was from South Africa and Rhode ia, and practically every Dominion and Colony where the Brigade i established was represented. I was very glad to meet the Chief Commissioners for India and South Africa, and the enior Officers of other Dominion, with whom I had many helpful discussions. It. ~'a my great plea ure to meet and welcome the first contingent to arnve-that from outh Africa and Rhodesia-and I am indebted to 1\1rs. Lancelot Dent, A.R.R.C., the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, Dr. D. Bennie Hewat, Commandery Commissioner for Southern Africa, and Captain Cahu ac, Chief ecretary of the Ambulance Department, for repre enting me on the arrival of the Canadian contingents when I wa ' , unfortunately, unable to be present. ry fir t opportunity of meeting the rest of those who came over to th celebration wa on lIIonday, 22nd June, when I arranged a Parade at the Queen' \Vestmin ter Drill Hall, Buckingham Gate, with a view to explaining what would be required of them at the Parade prior to the Commemoration ervice at \Vestminster Abbey and the Review in Hyde Park. Over 130 members paraded in uniform, and the drill which follow.ed showed an excellent standard of discipline and efficiency. ~ WIsh, on behalf of the members of the Brigade Overseas who visited thl country for the Centenary Celebrations, to thank all the Hosts and Hoste es who so kindly and generously entertained the members and their friend. Their kind ho pitality was whole-heartedly appreciated, and the programme of entertainments thoroughly enjoyed. As the ChapterG.e~eral ?ad kin~ly extended invitations as far as possible to all overseas :VI ?tor lrrespechve of whether they were members of the Order or not, It IS not perhap out of place to include references to functions which were primarily re erved for members of the Order. To the Banquet at t. James's. Palace on 22nd June, presided over by H.R.H. the Duke of Connaught, It was only pos ible to invite the senior representatives of the Dominions and Colonies, but all other members rece~ved invitation to the Reception, which followed it, and all were recelVed by His Royal Highness. Seventeen members of the Brigade

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

Overseas were included among those invested by His Majesty the overeign Head at Buckingham Palace on the 23rd June, and a number of others were invited to witness the ceremony. All over eas vi itors received invitations to the annual Commemoration ervice on the following day, which on this occasion was held at Westminster Abbey; those who were member of the Brigade paraded in Dean's Yard prior to the service, and marched to the Abbey, where the Nursing Divi ions were joined by H.R.H. The Duchess of York, the Commandant-in-Chief of Nursing Divi ions of the Brigade. The General Assembly of members of the Order was held immediately following in Vl estminster Great School. On the 25th June, His Royal Highness The Grand Prior gave a garden party at t. James's Palace, and on Friday, 26th June, the Empire First Aid Competitions were held at the Wharncliffe Rooms, Great Central Hotel. Six teams of men and six teams of women took part in the competition from overseas, and gave an excellent account of themselves, especially when it is borne in mind that some of the member of the teams had never before taken part in a competition, and, in more than one instance, the members comprising the team were unknown to each other before their arrival in England. The result of the Competition was as follows:1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

I congratulate most heartily the winners in both sections . The magnificent trophies offered by the ub-Prior, the Earl of Scarbrough, and the Chancellor, ir Aylmer Hunter-\V ton, were presented by H.R.H. Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone. At the clo e of the Competitions, the Earl of Athlone very generou ly announced his intention to present replicas of the men's trophy to the members of the Barnstaple team, who, with the Liverpool ur ing Divi ion, a winners respectively of the Inter-Railway and Perrott hields, had been invited at the request of the overseas teams to take part in the Comp titions for the purposes of comparison. The historic week closed on Saturday, 27th June, with the Review in Hyde Park by H.R.H. Prince Arthur of Connaught. This was a magnificent spectacle when in delightful weather over 4,000 paraded, of whom 133 were members of the Brigade Over eas. Owing to the unfortunate illness of the Acting Chief Commissioner of the Brigadeat-Home, Major-General Sir Percival Wilkinson, K.C.M.G., D.S.O., I had the great honour of commanding the parade and leading it in its March Past, and owing to the loyal assistance I received from all on parade thi passed off most successfully. By the courtesy of the Brigade-at-Home, their claim to precedence was waived in favour of the representation from overseas, an act of kindness much appreciated by the men and women who, in some instances, had travelled over twelve thousand miles to be

present. Con idering that no opportunities for the rehearsal of the parade could be made, the drill and manceuvres of all was of a remarkably high standard and the discipline as high as that of Regular troops. This impressed His Royal Highness very greatly, and I was asked to convey his deep approval to all ranks of the Brigade present. Copies of the Centenary number of the Gazette, the reprint of the Whitehall Gazette containing the Presentation Plate of the Investiture, and the message of congratulation from H.R.H. Prince Arthur of Connaught have been sent to each of the overseas visitors and all Divisions of the Brigade Oversea. I greatly regret that the calls upon the space in the Centenary number of the Gazette were such that room could not be found for the inclusion of my own report, for I know that many from overseas were disappointed at this omission. vVith regard to the work in each Dominion it is my pleasure to report : AUSTRALIA. The Brigade in Australia has been severely tested during the past year by the unparalleled economic distress of the country, which has placed many of our Divisions in a penurious condition. It is a matter for congra iulation, however, that in spite of the tremendous difficulty in the way 0 f rai ing new finances to carryon the work of the Divisions not one public duty has been neglected, and there has been a steady increase in the nun1ber of Divi ions and personnel. The following additions to the District staffs have been made :-In the w outh \Vales District, Lieut.-Colonel J. S. Purdy, D.S.O., LD., :\Ir. . L. Par on ,and Ir. J. \\. Booth have been appointed District Officer ; in the outh Au tralia District, Sir Frank 10ulden and Lieut.-Colonel G. Bice have joined the District Staff, while, in the Victoria Di trict, Ii E. J. \\ ells becomes its first Lady District Superintendent. I r gret ery much to have to report the death in March of Mr. J. H. Lord, the Di trict ecretary of the Victoria District. Mr. Lord, who was al 'o ecretary of the Central Council for Australia, had been connected with the work of the Association and Brigade in Melbourne since 1914. In the \Y t u tralia District, the demands upon the Brigade continue to increa e. I am glad to be able to report that three new Divisions have been formed during the year, which represents a definite step forward. BERMUDA. The Brigade Over ea in Bermuda is now getting more firmly e tablished and it is my plea ure to report that notice has been received that a further Ambulance Division, a Nursing Division, and a Cadet Nur ing Divi ion may shortly be registered. Public duty has been done on several occa ions, the outstanding example of which was at the fire on board 1.V. Bermuda, in the Hamilton Harbour, when members of the No.1 Hamilton Division, although handicapped by shortage of material, performed excellent work in attending to the many casualties. They remained on duty for nearly three days and came through what was a severe test for a new Division with great credit.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

CANADA. The second largest contingent from the Brigade Over eas present in thi country for the Centenary Celebration was that from Canada, and I understand that considerable difficulty was exp rienced in financing the contingent, which was only overcome by the genero iLy of members and friends. I was pleased to note the appearance of all Ambulance and Nur ing members at the various parades. I wa orry it was not pos ible for the Chief Commi ioner, ir Henry Pellatt, Lo accompany the contingent, as was at one time hoped, but I wa very pleased to welcome hi senior officer, Dr. C. J. Copp, the Commi sioner of th On tario District. Dr. Copp, on his return from England, made a tour of \tVestern Canada, and stated that he found that the object and purpo e of the Brigade were becoming more fully understood by the public in Canada. The work of the Brigade during the year has remained steady. }ive new Divisions have been formed, a very con iderable amount of public duty undertaken, and, in some cases, Medical Comfort Depot have been maintained. The roadside service scheme in operation at \\'innipeg ha been extended and continues to do valuable service. CEYLON. The work of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Over eas, which in Ceylon i confined to the Ceylon Police Corp, continues to be carried on to the great benefit of the public. The number of ca es of accident and injury in Ceylon during the year i very large, and in very many in tance the fir t aid efficiency of the Ceylon Police ha been instrumental in aving life. The Corps was inspected on the 12th October by Hi Excellency The Governor. HO G KO . G.

'[any instances of the value of the services of the Hong Kong Di ·trict of the Brigade Overseas to the Colony have been recorded from time to time, and in 1931 these have been even more evident. In pril, there occurred the disaster on the Kowloon-Canton Railway, when member of the Brigade rendered meritorious fir t-aid as i tance Lo the victim ' of an accident caused through the derailing of a train by rea 'on of flood. Outstanding service was performed in anolher direction when members of the Brigade at much risk to them elve performed duty at po t throughout the Colony during the Anti-Japanese Riots which broke out in September. Excellent work was also done in connection with a fire which occurred in the crowded Chinese quarter, so that the member have every reason to be proud of the record of work performed during the year. The attention of Chapter-General has been drawn to these cases of outstanding public duty. Although outside the scope of this report, I should like to r fer to the prompt response of the members of this District to the need for ambulance workers at Shanghai during the recent hostilities. I O details have yet come to hand of the work actually performed, but I have no doubt that the party sent from Hong Kong to Shanghai fully maintained the traditions of the District and the Brigade Overseas.

I am very glad to be able to report the kind interest taken in the work by Their Excellencies The Governor and. Lady Peel. Lady Pee~ has kindly consented to accept a rank in the. Bngade, and has been apPOl,nted Lady District Superintendent. The mterest shown by the Chmese themselves in the work of the Brigade is a characteristic feature of the work in Hong Kong. . During the year the Brigade in Hong Kong has purchased and eqmpped another motor ambulance for work in the Colony. INDIA. The un etUed conditions which continue in India do not make for progress, but the work of the four Districts of the ~rigade Overse~s has been carried on, and, although there has been a slight decrease m the number of Divisions, it is gratifying to know that there has been an increase in the total personnel. I regret that the proposed formation of a new District with Headquarters at Patna did not prove to be practicable. I am glad to be able to report that since her arrival in India, Her Excellency The Countess of \Villingdon has kindly consented to becoI!le the Patrone s of the ursing Divisions of the Brigade throughout IndIa, and ha generou ly presented a cup for competition at the All-India ompetilions between the Nur ing Divisions of the Brigade in India. uch valuable support will unquestionably do more than anything else to a si. t matter at thi juncture. Public duty has been performed on a great many occasio.ns, and in t~e o. ~ District valuable services were rendered at the disturbances m connection with the Civil Disobedience Movement. In the o. 2 District, following the resignation of Dr. Pollock, who has returned to England, Major-General \tv. V. Coppinger, C.LE., D.S.O., has be n appointed to the charge of the District. During the year, the Par i Divi ion has been successful in complet~g its appeal for funds to build and equip its Headquarters.

KENYA. The strength of the Police Divi ion continues to increa e, and many in tances have come to hand where the knowledge of first-aid has proved of the greatest value to members of the Divi ions when on Police duty in the remote parts of the Colony. During the year, Mr. R. G. B. Spicer re igncd a District Superintendent on leaving the Colony to take up an appointm nt with the Palestine Police. Mr. Spicer, in his capacity as Commis ioner of Police, first introduced the work of the Association and Brigade into Kenya, and did much to foster its growth.

SOUTH AFRICA. I was delighted to meet at the Centenary Celebra~ions, Dr. Bennie Hewat, Commandery Commissioner for Southern Afnc~, and to have conversations with him regarding the work of .the Bngade Overs.eas. The contingent from South Africa and RhodesIa to the CelebratIOns was the largest from overseas, and they are not only to be c?ngrc:tulat~d on their success in winning both of the trophies at the Eml?rre Frrst Ai.d Competitions, but also for their showing at the Royal ReVIew and therr general appearance and bearing, which was the subject of highly favo~ra?le comment. I find it difficult to express adequately my deep appreClatIOn of the magnificent effort made by the South African and Rhodesian Contingent at the Centenary Celebrations. Not o~ly. ~ere they: the largest representative unit from overseas but the diSCIpline, effiCIency and esprit-de-corps was outstandingly high. . The work of the Brigade within the Commandery contmue~ t~ progress satisfactorily. The foundation stone of the Headquarte~s building o.f t~e Natal Centre of the Association and District of the Bngade was laId In July la t, and it is hoped the building will be officially opened during 1932. . .. lr. .

NEW ZEALAND. The strength and efficiency of the Brigade Overseas within the Dominion of New Zealand continues to increase, and during the year, 5 adult and 16 Cadet D~vi ion~ have. been re&"istered. I am very pleased to be able to report thIS contInued mcrease m the number of Cadet Divi ion in the Dominion and that the movement is obtaining a firm footing. This is largely due to the interest taken in thi important branch of our work by the Chi~f Com!lli sioner for the Dominion, Colonel G. Barclay, O.B.E. As mentIOned In my last report, the year 1931 is outstanding in the his~ory of the B~igade in New Zealand by reason of the great earthquake whIch occurred In February. The work of the Brigade Over ea , both at the actual scene of ~he cala!llity and in the towns to which refugee were sent, was splendId, and It will stand to the record of the Briaade for all time that it so readily and efficiently responded to the trel~endous dem~nds of ~his great emergency. I have already reported to you for the I?formatIOn. of Chapte.r-~eneral details of the work performed in rescumg and canng f?r the InJured at Hawke Bay and in the organization of Depots for the relIef of refugees and the sending of food and material to the sc~ne of the disaster, and I am proud to record that the members of the Bngade upheld the best traditions of the Order and Briaade and were of the greatest assistance to the authoritie during the whole time of the duty. Splendid and rapid as this respon e wa , I understand that a scheme for even quicker mobilization of the Briaade in a time of emergency is under consideration by Colonel Barclay~ A number of changes have taken place in the variou Di::.trict taff. In Auckland, Mr. W. E. Froggatt has been appointed a District Officer and Mr. F. ~. Schofield has left the District taff after many year valuable serVIce. In the \Vellington Di trict, Ir. G. Hancox has been appointed District Officer vice Mr. H. Hepworth, who has retired with ~any years service to his credit. fr. H. T. Hale, Di trict Officer ill the Wanganui District, has found it necessary to have to transfer to . the Reserve, and in the Canterbury and \Ve t Coa t Di trict MaJor \V. Crampton and Mr. VV. H. Thomson have been appointed Di -trict Officers and Mrs. Cordy Lady District Officer. I regret to have to report the death of two of the oldest and mo t valued members of the Brigade in New Zealand, District uperintendent . M. H. Grenfell, of .the. Otago District, and Corps Officer A. W. Potter, of the Auckland Dlstnct. Mr. S;-renfell, who died on the 5th September, 1931, was one of. the foundatIOn members of the Oamaru Division, which was. formed In 1899~ and had been connected with the Brigade from then until the date of hIS death.

CO ' CLUSIO . I \\!ould again draw the attention of the Divisions of the Brigade Ov r eas to the work of the Ophthalmic Hospital at Jerusalem, and I thank all tho e who have so generously forwarded a donation during the year. The appeal of H.R.H. the Grand Prior in aid of the fund to extend the Headquarters of the Order has not met with the response I had hoped for, but I should like to take this opportunity to express my thank to the Divisions that have subscribed. I again have very much pleasure in expressing my deepest thanks to Irs. Lancelot Dent, A.R.R.C., the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, for her continued help and interest. The work of Mrs. Dent as chairman of the Ho te se ' Committee, which arranged for the entertainment of the overseas vi itors to the Centenary Celebrations, was without doubt one of the greatest factors which helped to make the Celebrations the great uccess they were, while the hospitality of both Mr. and frs. Dent was unbounded, and did more than anything else to make the representations from overseas en joy this most strenuous visit. To Chief Commissioners for Dominions I would gratefully express my thanks for their continued interest in the work of the Brigade Overseas under their command, and the sacrifice of so much of their time to Brigade matters. To all officers in charge of Districts and other officers and ranks,

I express my appreciation of their continued loyalty and labours on behalf of the Brigade Overseas and for suffering humanity in far-off quarters of the globe of every colour, creed, and kind. It again gives me great pleasure to refer to the kind ho pitality always offered by Colonel Brook and members of the No.1 (London) Di trict of the Brigade-at-~ome t.o visitors from the Brigade Overseas. During the year under reVIew, owmg to the number of overseas vi itors in London, I had to make many demands upon No.1 District, and I know that in all in t,:nces the members of the Brigade Overseas \\. re most grateful for the serVIces that were rendered them. The invitation i ued by this Di trict to overseas visitors to witness the annual inspection in Hyde Park on 20th June by the ub-Prior was taken full advantage of and members were thu able to become familiar with the place and method of the review to be held on the 27th. To Captain Cahu ac, M.C., whose mo t loyal and valuable help i always extended to the Chief Commis ioner for Over eas, I extend my deepe t thanks. It i~ with much regret that I refer to the death on the 12th May, 1931, of MaJor-General Dalton. General Dalton was in charge of the Brigade O.verseas from 1911 until 1920, a period which included the exceptionally difficult year~ of the War, and hi intere t and devotion to the 1 rigade Overseas durmg the whole of his connection with it are well known.

PRIORY FOR WALES.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

Ambulance Awards formerly issued, may be recorded as a feature of special importance, as it has not only secured to the students generally awards of the premier Ambulance Authority, which are universally recognized and accepted, but also assisted the Brigade Units in Glamorgan financially by avoiding the necessary expense of separate examinations for fir t-year recruits. Another satisfactory feature of the year under review is the development in the junior section. The seventy-nine classes were attended by 1,705 students, 1,468 qualifying for Preliminary Certificates. The majority of these classes were held in outh Wales; but it is anticipated that the adoption of Ambulance work by Yr Urdd, the Welsh League of Youth, as a useful channel for future activity among its 25,000 members will give a welcome impetus to our work, particularly among the \Velsh-speaking boy and girl of orth and Mid-Wales, who may now study the vVelsh tran lation of the text-book and receive Certificates in \Velsh. The mbulance Committee of the Priory set up a ub-Committee in the autumn to advi e the Principal ecretary on the appointment of examiners and the regulations governing examinations and re-examination ; and the i ue should not only tend to maintain with due rigidity the high standard of the Association, but al 0 bring the procedure in \'"ale more into line with that of Headquarters.

The Priory is again in a position to record an increa e in the number of awards gained, the total shown in the County result below being 1,217 greater than that for 1930. The Classes were attended by 11,3()9 students, as against 13,401 in 1930, of whom 3,331 were member ' of G.W.R. and 717 of L. 1. & S. Railway Classes, a compared with 3,398 ~nd 742 for the previous year. The increase therefore r pre ent an mfiux of the general pUblic, with possibly one special contributorthe classes for omnibus workers which have become more numerous since the provision of first aid equipment on public service vehicles has been a statutory obligation. The Priory is arranging about 500 examination and 300 re-examinations annually, and a summary of the results for the years ~918 to 1931 inclusive gives a total of 60,917 first-year certificates Issued m the fourteen years.

The grant is being disbursed in urns of two-thirds of the actual amount required condition~lly upon 0r:e-~hird being raised by the locality; and, by. thus encouragmg the prmclple of self-help, a ufficient measure of mterest and enthusia m is ecured to ensure the springing up of trong keen Divi ions rather than units of ephemeral growth.

Contd.

There is a growing waiting list for membership of t?e ~oyal Naval Auxiliary Sick Berth Reserve, the establishment of whIch IS complete; and the reports received following Reservists' Annual Training at Chatham, Devonport, Haslar, and Plymouth, are highly satisfactory . The V.A.D. Scheme was not extended in Wales last year, though the four Detachments in Glamorgan and Brecknockshire were well maintained and were in pccted by Colonel J. F. Martin, C.M.G., C.B.~., M.B ., who expre sed himself as being highly pleased with the effiCIency shown, and complimented the Bargoed Detachment on an excellent demonstration of the treatment of gas poisoning. COMPETITIO S. Two cups and two shields were presented for competition in the 10nmouthshire and Borough of Rhondda Centres, bringing the total number of trophies vested in the Priory for annual competition in the various entres to 84, valued at £2,127. . In the \Ve] h Brigade Final Competitions, held at Cardiff on 25th Apnl, the Cardiff Emergency and Llanelly Nursing teams secured the " Uandinam " Shield and accompanying honour of representing Wales in the Brigade Finals in London on 15th May, when th~ LI~nelly Nur~es gained second place, bringing to Wales for the second tIme m succeSSIOn the" Corbet Fletcher" trophy. The \Velsh Inter-Railway competition was held at Cardiff on 22nd October; and the Ruthin L. 1. & . Railway team won the" Ha::ry 'Yebb" hield for the London Midland & Scottish Railway, after bemg held for five years by the Great Western Railway. It wa chiefly due to the influence of Dr. Richard Owen, of Bangor, who prc sed for the adoption of the Priory'S proposals in the fa.c~ of strong oppo ition on the grounds of expense, that Ambulance CompetItIOns figured in the programme of the Royal National Eisteddfod at Bangor; and in the open contests the Lady Lewis and Lady Bute cups of the Priory were won by the Lanca hire Constabulary team and Portmadoc B.R. .. ur ing Team. mbulance competitions were again a feature of the Royal \Vel~h gricultural ociety's show at Llanelly; and the successful teams m open cycnts for men, women, and Cadets were fonmouthshire on tabulary, Llanelly Nur ing, and Glynneath Cadets respectively. DEPUTY COMMISSIONER. The appointment of Mr. . G. E. J. Fudge, of Newport ( Ion.), a Commandcr of the Order and 1ember of the Chapter since the inception of the Priory, to the office of Deputy Commissioner for vVales was welcomed by the Brigade as a uitable recognition of long and distinguished servicc to the Brigade and the Order generally. Mr. Fudge has maintained a close and active connection with the Ambulance Iovement since 1893 ; and on the formation of the Priory, was appointed Commissioner of the Borough of Newport Centre. His advice and experience have been of the greate t value to the Commissioner on his assumption of office; and throughout the ummer months, particularly, his services were placed

Considerable progre s was made during the year in connection with the Motor Ambulance Transport Service, which was extended by the opening of a new station at Cwmllynfell on 17th December, bringing the total number of car stations to fifteen, whil t a second car was provided for the Ammanford Station. The total number of case carried and mileage travelled, viz., 7,416 and 141,814, show increases of 1,919 and 33,565 over the figures for 1930. There are twenty-nine Colliery Companies covering seventy collieries, and seven other Companie subscribing, in addition to fifty-two Colliery Lodges, twelve other bodies of workmen, and twelve districts contributing at the rate of one penny per week for a call on the ervice. Once again the Priory gratefully acknowledges its indebtedne to the South \Vales and Monmouthshire Committee of the Iiner' \\'eHare Fund for a further grant of £2,500, without which the ervice could not have been extended or maintained in such a high tate of efficiency. ~part fro:n the Priory Service, Ambulance cars are maintained by Bngade Umts at Monmouth and Pemrhyndeudraeth; and Division at Aberystwyth, Blaenau Festiniog, and \Vrexham are re ponsible for t~e running of Home ervice Ambulance Cars, which la t year dealt wIth an aggregate number of 572 cases covering 5,347 miles.

The passing of the Right Hor:. !homas Richards was. a severe loss to the Priory, as it was due to hIS mfiuence. tha~ the Pn.ory secured. the goodwill and support of the South \Vales Mmers FederatIOn. The Pnory has been extremely fortunate in the appointment. of Mr. Enoch Morell, C.B.E., as successor in the important office of DIrector .of Ambulance, so ably held from the inception of the Priory by Mr. RIchards. SUB-PRIOR.

Th year 1930 was one of momentous changes i?- leadership. r:ollowing the death of the first Principal Secretary, the late SIr Herbert LewIs, K.B.E., and the Director of Ambulance, the resignation of Lord. Kylsant, as ub-Prior was a matter for profound regret; and the Pnory deplores the loss of the noble service rendered unstintingly and loyally by Lord Kyl ant during his term of office from 1922 to 1931. . At a meeting of the Chapter held on 19th December, the Right. Hon. The Earl of Plymouth, P.C., was formally welcomed on his appointm~nt by the Prior, H.R.H. the P~ince of. ~ales, to the office of Su?-Pnor. Hi acceptance of the responsIble pOSItIon was referred to as partIcularly appropriate and gratifying, as the lat~ Lord Plymouth was the first ub-I riar of the Priory, and as Sub-Pnor. of the Order was .very largely instrumental in bringing about the establishment of the Pnory.

At the Engineering Exhibition held in the Greyfriars' Hall, Cardiff, in N ov~mber, the Priory was given an opportunity, by courte y of the ExecutIve of the South Wales Institute of Engineers to exhibit First Aid equipment; and the Stand attracted considerable notice.

THE ORDER IN CANADA

TIlE ORDER IN CANADA.

For a considerable time past the work of the Ambulance Department of the Order in Canada has laboured under a severe handicap owing to the ban on honours imposed in 1919. The Chapter-General is pleased to be able to report that largely through the intervention of the Rt. Hon. R. Bennett, Prime Minister of Canada, it has been decided that the honours of the Order are not subject to the restriction of the resolution of the Canadian House of Commons imposed in 1919. This welcome news was conveyed to the Order in a cable received by the Sub-Prior on June 22nd, as follows : " Although Law Officers advised previous administration that it was doubtful if appointments within the Venerable Order of the Hospital of ain t John 0 f Jerusalem could be regarded as being strictly wi thin the provisions of the Resolution passed by the Canadian House of Commons in May Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen restricting the conferring of titles and honours upon Canadians such appointments were in fact regarded by the late Government as being within the prohibition of the Resolution. After careful consideration our Government has concluded that appointments in your Ancient Order are not subject to the restrict.ions of the Resolution of the House of Commons and we will accept responsibility for any Canadian appointments that may be made and we will treat them as being made with our approval. I earnestly trust that your Centenary Celebrations may be most successful and worthy of the great traditions of the organization. Please present my respectful greetings and congratulations to the Grand Prior the memory of whose services to our Empire in this Dominion will n ver be forgotten. Personal regards. Bennett." list of Canadians whose services were worthy of recognition by the Order "vas at once submitted t.o H.M. The Sovereign Head of the Order, and arrangements were made for three of them who were then in London to receive their Insignia at the hands of His :M ajesty at the Investiture at Buckingham Palace, and the following reply was cabled to }1r. Bennett :" Your very welcome cablegram received. The King has approved the in Iu ion of Canadian members now in this country at to-morrow's Inve tit.ure. The Grand Prior thanks you most warmly for your personal m ssage of congratulations and greetings on the occasion of the Centenary Celebrations of the Order of t . John. Scarbrough." With the removal of the ban, the Order looks forward to the greater expansion of it activities in Canada and negotiations are proceeding in connection with the possible establishment of a Commandery of the Order in Canada.

TIlE Hospitaller and the Committee of the Ophthalmic Hospital have the honour to ubmit their Fortieth Report for the information of His Royal Highness the Grand Prior, the Chapter-General and its subscribers. With the exception of In-patients whose numbers show an increase, there is a falling-off to record in the numbers of new Out-patients, Total Attendance, and Operations. This shrinkage is accounted for by the constant ill-health which has handicapped the staff during the year. The \Varden, too, was absent from duty for a while on a visit to London for the Centenary Celebrations. The Hospital was vi ited on 17th April by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Prelate of the Order-a notable event in any case, but made more o owing to the fact that no Archbishop of Canterbury had visited the Holy Land since Hi Grace's pr decessor Baldwin, who landed at Tyre with an Engli h army in July, 1190, and died at the Siege of Acre in ~ovember of the same year, nearly seven and a half centuries ago. On hi return to England the Prelate wrote to the Chancellor expres ing the ati faction hi vi it to the Ho pital had given him. Lambeth Palace, 13th Jun e, 1931.

)'Iy DEAR

HANCELLOR,

During my visit to Jerusalem in April, 1931, I paid a special vi it to the St. John Ophthalmic lIo pital, which is the special work of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem in Jerusalem itself. The lIospital occupies a beautiful site, and the buildings seemed to me admirably adapted to the purposes of a hospital, and the wards were faultlessly clean and cool. The technical equipment seemed to be very complete and of a very high standard. I ,,,as also much impressed by the new Annexe which has been oUllt on the other side of the road for the reception of out-patients waiting for treatment. Architecturally, it seemed to me very beautiful and well designed for its purpose . I was still more impressed by the enthusiasm of Dr. Strathearn and his taff. It ,,'ould be presumptuous on my part to speak of his scientific ability as an ophthalmic surgeon, which is widely recognized. But I should like to speak most warmly of his zeal and devotion, shared by the whole of his staff. I heard many testimonies from many quarters of the benefits which the Hospital confers upon all classes and races in Palestine, and as a Prelate of the Order of St. John, I felt proud that a work of mercy so well conceived and carried on with so much devotion " 'as associated wit.h the Order. (Signed) COSMO CAXTUAR.

The Registrar returned home at the end of the year, and his place has been filled by the election of Mr. K. J. O'Day, M.D.(MELB.), D.O.~I.S . , who, with Mr . O'Day, left for Jerusalem on New Year's Eve. The Committee has offered the po t of Hon. Radiographer to Dr. \V. E. Thomp on, Specialist Surgeon to the Government of Palestine, and a former Regi trar of the Hospital, who, in accepting it, expressed his great pleasure in renewing his official connection with the Hospital. Thi i a new appointment. \Velcome help has been given in Hospital and Annexe by 1r. Piggott, M.B., to whom the Committee extends its incere thanks. .

OPHTHALMIC

HOSPITAL

There i no change in the Briti h Nursing taf£. 1i s Dight, the Acting<\latron, wa invested by H.l\I. the King with the In ignia of a Serving iter at the Investiture in Buckingham Palace on 23rd June. The Committee regrets to have to report the loss by death of one of its number, Colonel D. J. Proby, who pa ed avvay in November. It al 0 realize that in the pa sing of Lady carbrough the Hospital ha 10 t a true friend. he took the greatest interest in the work of the Order in the Holy Land, and in 1926 she endowed a cot in the Ho pital. The construction of the ubway between the Hospital and Annexe ha been commenced and should shortly be available for the staff. There is no other building operation in hand at the moment. The Hunter\ Vestern Memorial is still awaiting decorative completion. The erection of the South Block for paying patients ha , owing to lack of fund, been temporarily postponed. At the clo e of the financial year only £1,827 remained in the Ho pital Re toration Fund, for which the Grand Prior made a special appeal in 1927. Thi sum ha since been further depleted by payment on account of the ubway, which i estimated to cost £500 when completed. The Income and Expenditure Account, \vhich is printed at the end of this Report, shows that the co t to the Order of maintaining the Hospital during the year under review wa £3,- 4 2s. 5d., compared with £3,612 ls. 4d. for 1930. Sub cription and donation recei"ved in London have decrea ed by £150. The Hon. Trea urer in J eru a1 m has again remitted an increased sum for the eleventh year in 'ucc sion, and Lady \Yatson's total i now only a little over £100 Ie than the amount received in London. The Committee can only repeat once more it deep sense of the debt it owes her for her devotion to the intere ts of the Hospital and for her constant endeavour to promote in v ry way the welfare of the Order in the Holy Land. The thanks of the Committee are also extended to :\1r. J. Horne Stevenson, the Hon. Secretary for cotland, for hi help in rai ing fund ' for the Hospital-a duty he has carried out for very many year with unfailing assiduity. The Committee has to express thank to H.H. The ga Khan for repeating his kind donation of £60, and to :\1r. and :\lr . Carmichael Christopher for a donation of £2- for some definite piece of equipment, which may take the form either of a special chair for the O.P. Department or an instrument sterilizer for the theatre. The support which comes from the Dominions is always especially gratifying to the Committee as revealing the intere t taken in the Ho pital by the Overseas Branches of the Association and Brigade. The creation of Commanderies in South Africa and New Zealand will, it is hoped, quicken interest in the work of the Order in Palestine. New Zealand seems specially zealous in contributing to the funds and deserves mention and an expression of thanks. Australia has had its financial trouble which doubtless account for its temporary absence from our ub cription List, and South Africa is represented by the Capetown Nursing Division S.}.A.B.O. The olive-yard produced 306 rotls (a rotl = 60 lb.), yielding 66 rotls of high grade which at Pts. 12 per rotl are worth about £8 now, but the value will almost certainly appreciate later.

REPORT

The appeal of the Committee in the last Report for books for the staff library was answered by Mrs. B . Strong, Mrs . J. H . Hendley and ir Charles Hyde, whose gifts have proved a welcome addition to the shelves in the Hospital. More books are asked for, and they will be gratefully acknowledged if sent to St. John's Gate, as will be records for the Sisters' gramophone. Mrs. Lothian Nicholson has again sent garments for the patients, a useful gift for which the Committee tenders thanks. The Great Priory for England and Wales renewed its donation of £52 lOs. for a special piece ot equipment for the Hospital, and the money has been spent in the purchase of a Potter-Bucky Diaphragm with a cassette-a valuable addition to the equipment, and much appreciated by the Medical Staff. For the third year in succession a donation of imilar amount has again been sent by the Great Priory, and the Committee awaits suggestions from the Warden as to how best it may be expended in providing some new scientific item of equipment for the benefit of our" Masters" the sick and suffering. Mr. E. . Fellowes-Farrow, a Serving Brother of the Order, spent a week in the Hospital and Annexe, taking a cinema film which it is hoped will prove useful for lecture purposes. Further information about this film will be given on application to the Honorary Secretary at St. J ohn's Gate. The plot in the Muristan belonging to the Order has been cleaned up and fenced in and a caretaker appointed to live on the premises whose duty it is to keep the property in good order. Some day, it is hoped that on this plot may ri e a Ho pice for the Entertainment of )'lember of the Order vi iting the Holy Land, where the surroundings may conduc to that reverential feeling evoked by visiting the scenes of our Lord' life on earth which i 0 lacking in the ordinary atmosphere of an hotel. Attractive sketches of uch a Hospice have been drawn, showing Chapel, Refectory, Library, ommon Room and cubicles (\vith one or two bed ), and apartment for a ene chal or \Yarden and a l\Iatron. The ~Iembers of the Order living in Jerusalem attended the Annual ervice on t. John' Day in the crypt of )'lar Hanna, lent for the purposp., a i now cu tomary, by kind permission of the Patriarch of Jerusalem and all Pal stine . Hi Beatitude, Damianos, who was a K.B.E. and an A ociate Chaplain of the Order, was always friendly to the Hospital, and it wa with regret that the announcement of hi death was received at t. John' Gate. The Report of the Ladie ' Linen Guild is printed at the end of this Report. How invaluable is the help it gives to the Hospital will readily be understood if it contents are studied. Special attention may, however, be dra"wn to the hand orne metal bed-side lockers which the Guild has presented. These lockers were designed by the \\ arden and have the badge of the Order displayed on the front together with a mall plaque tating that they are the gift of the Ladies' Linen Guild. There are twelve of these lockers in use now and it is hoped that the Guild mc:-y be. able in due course to present the Hospital with the remaining thIrty-eIght. The Annexe, too, has benefited by the possession of a whe led trolley with irrigator, al 0 the design of the \Varden, and some half-dozen imposing glass jars stamped with the badge of the Order on a red background, which adorn the shelves of the Annexe Dispensary.

OPHTHALMIC

HOSPIT AL

The thanks of the Committee for all the Guild does cannot be measured by mere printed words . The Report for 1931 would not be complete if it did not contain some reference to the most unplea ant experience of the Warden and Mrs. trathearn (with whom was also the Dispenser, Mr. Kubeisy) on the Jericho- Jeru alem R oad in November last. It wa fortunate indeed that the incident did not, as it so easily might have done, end in tragedy. They were motoring back from Jericho where the Warden has recently acquired a little villa, when at a bend of the road they uddenly saw their further passage barred by boulders. As they pulled up, five ruffians sprang from the ditch levelling their rifles and demanding the surrender of all valuables. vVhile they were dealing with the \Varden and the Dispenser in front, Mrs . Strathearn, seated behind, was covered with the barrel of a rifle thrust through the window. The \Varden had to give up his gold watch-a wedding gift from his wife-and all his cash, amounting to sixteen pounds and lr. Kubei y wa likewi e relieved of every piastre he posses ed. The \Varden was actually roughly handled and threatened when he expostulated at his treatment. It then became Mrs. Strathearn's turn. She had her wedding ring roughly torn from her finger and her coat stripped from off her back, and the bandits were proceeding to further indignities when the arrival of other cars caused them to divert their attention to what might prove more profitable loot. In all, sixteen cars were held up and their occupants robbed as the shades of evening were descending on the valley road and eventually the nine highwaymen-for there were four more of them who were acting as vedettes-got away safely and the occupants of the car were glad to proceed to Jerusalem, luckily carrying no hospital ca e. It appears that the robber band was comprised of jail-birds who had broken jail at Amman. ome of them have since been captured. And 0 in the twentieth century is the Scripture parable of the danger of the Jericho road brought forcibly to mind. lour Committee has already unanimously passed a very sincere vote of sympathy with the \Varden and Irs. trathearn in their terrible experience, in which was included, of course, the Di pen er, 11r. Kubei y. Your Committee is increasingly sensible of what the Order owe to the self-sacrificing devotion to their work of all the member of the taff of the Hospital under the inspiring example given them by the \Yarden . On them lies the burden of maintaining the prestige of the Order of St . John in Jerusalem and in the regions round about. In thanking them once again for all they do for the patients, the Committee feel that its confidence in the single-hearted loyalty of every member of the Staff is not misplaced. Jan uary, 1932.

The Warden's Report for 1931. THE number of new patient.s seen during 1931 was 18,984, and the total consultations 75,423. The number of patients admitted to Hospital was 1,lG9, and the number of operations performed 2,911. The bulk of the operative work was on trichiasis cases; the intra-ocular operations tot.alled 507. The average duration of stay in Hospital was ten days. Thi. is still high, though les t.han last year, and is mainly due t.o the many case admitted for prolonged treatment. These cases if sent out too soon quickly relapse owing t.o the almost complete neglect of home treat.ment . The stati tics of work done when compared with former years are di appoint.ing, but they serve to emphasize t.he stat.ement so often made in the e report that wit.h ever recurring changes in the medical staff uch things arc inevitable. Last year we were singularly handicapped, as for all practical pnrpo e we were without the services of a House urgeon and H.egi trar. uitable young graduates seem most unwilling to go abroad, and this difficulty is felt not only by us but by all the medical. ervice. The need i as great as ever, and the extraordinary improvement in transport facilitie brings increasing numbers from farther afield. The patients arc at our doors, but with inadequate medical staff they cannot all receive aU n Lion. Th incidence of trachoma amongst the out-patients was 89 per cent. Thi. i.. t ill v ry high, although it hows a slight improvement on la t year, wh en the raie wa 91 per cent. Of the 18,9 1 new ca e , 1,765 were blind in one eye (9'3 per cen1.) , and 398 were" blind" in both (3'1 per cent.). The number of individuals who \\'ere " hlind " in one or bot.h eyes was 2,3 63 (12'-1 per cent.).

review, the" blind one" and the" blind both" among t.he inhabitants have been enumerated . These figures are not yet availabl. To return to the Ho pital figures, the rise in " blind one" since 1028 corre pond with the on et of a cycle of years with rainfall much below th average. Dry years are usually a ociated with an increased everity in the eas()n~l epidemic of acute conjunctiviti , by far the commone t cause of t.hls blindness". In thi affection where one eye i 10 t t.he ot.her eye i generally left with fair vision, but patient. living in the worst. infected villages all too frequently lose the remaining eye at. th n xt sea 01:'5 epidemic. Hence the blind both" does not how a comparahl fIse until a year or two after the ri e in " blind one". Amongst. the fellahin infant the young children blind in both eye rarely urvive. The following table show the cause of " blindn . s " in the 2,3G3 " blind" eyes :It

Hence nearly 70 per cent. of t.hi blindnes can be t.raced directly or indirectly to acute conjunctivitis. Fortunat.ely 1031 \Va. a mild year, and showed a slight reduction from that. of the pr viuus year; 5,0-15 as compared with 5,320 cases in 1030. But, on t.he ot.her hand, the incidence of ulceration of the cornea was extremely high. 1,211 cast's had this lamentable complication (21 per cent.), and of th e ulcers 269 had already or soon thereafter perforated. In e king an xplanat.ion for this one does well to remember that the Annexe, a building specially provided for the care and treatment of the e ca e of a ute conjl1nctiviti. , tends to attract the severer types. Parent with affect d childr n living in distant villages usually put off coming until they ee that something serious has happened, and then knowing that they can now be accommodated and their children treated at the Annexe come to us and. w Jl the number. The Annexe has now become an important. depart.ment. of the Hospital. During the ophthalmia ea on (J uly- ecember), th r were 20,000 consultations. At time, over 200 out-patient lept th re, and the nightly average of inmates for the sea on wa over one hun-dred. And this open-air treatment of acute conjunctiviti is ju t what i d sired. The completion of the subway connecting the main Hospital with the Annexe will help materially, especially as it will now permit of t.he ample accommodation to be used for trichiasis cases which flock to the Ho pital in hundreds from March till June-that is, before the on et of the ophthalmia season. These cases will be operated upon in t.he main Hospital, and then sent safely through the subway to t.h c10i ter of the Annexe.

As a suitable member of our own staff was not available for the medical work of t.he Annexe, we were fortunate in obtaining the voluntary services of Mrs. Owen Pigott, M.B., who attended daily and rendered valuable service, for which we are gratciul. ister Dight, Acting-Matron, in addition to her other dut.ies, has had the supervision of the Annexe and the t.reatment clinic directly under her care, and she has carried out. this arduous and t.oo often unpleasant work with praiseworthy sympathy and efficiency. . . 1,312 patients were tested for glasses, and 950 prescnptIOns for glasse were given; the remainder, owing to t.he presence of irregular astigmatism or other conditions, showed insufficient. visual improvem nt t.o warrant a prescription. Amongst the ca es exammed for glasses were !)8 H..A.F. and Army, 86 monks and nuns (European), 126 Government officials and employee, and 105 Briti h and American. In the" X " Ray Department, thirty-seven photographs were taken. Of the e, eight were made with the aid of the Potter-Bucky Diaphragm recently gifted to the Hospital by the Order of the Temple of the Great Priory of England and \Val . These photographs show a marked enhancement of definition. This useful gift is much appreciated. The weet's Localiser wa used in three cases of retained foreign body in the ye, but. on t.rial, with the giant magnet none of them proved to be f rrous. From their hi tory, the substance in each case was most likely copper. The heart.y thank of the staff are due to Dr. \V. E. Thomp on, urg on peciali t. to the Government of Pale t.ine, for the expert advice and help 0 freely given in thi Department, as well a elsewhere in the Ho!"'pital. The Ho pital i fortunate in po se sing two plaques of radium, one full strength, and one half ' trength. H.adium therapy is still in the experimental stage, and in our application of it we have been content to follow e~tablished procedures. Hence our re ulls have been almo t uniformly good, and in som ca e quite remarkably so. In all, thirtyigh t individuals ]lave been treated; twenty-three cases of pring catarrh, flve ca es of hcemangiomata, and ten ca es of variou forms of cancer of y lid, ey ball, or orbit. A total of 163 applications were mad . \\'e hope t.o d v lop the u e of t.hi powerful but dangerous remedy still further in t.he coming year, but when it is realized that each application average about half-an-hour, and that t.he plaques have to be retained in position lightly by hand, con iderable demand arc made on the time, paticnc , and dexterity of the person in charge. I am much indebted t.o ister Ellis, ~ ister in charge of the In-patient Department, for her help in this matter, and for the ab:ence of untoward happenings.

The gravitat.ion supply was available only for a f w hours every fourth day, and we have to contrive to mak up for t.hi by a sparing use of the water from t.he Hospital cisterns.

The year saw the completion of the scheme for t.he enlargement of the waiting room, and the improvem nt of the Oui -paii nt Department gen rally.

To return to the affairs of the Hospit.al, the Linen Guild has bountifully supplied the requirements of the Linen Room. In addition, they very generou ly voted a sum of money for equipment for the Hospilal and the Annexe. Outstanding amongst this equipment are twelve handsome bcd-lockers. Constructed to suit our special requirement.s, this type of article allhough expensive at first cost in the long run pays for itself. It is to be hoped that eventually the remaining beds will b similarly furnished. Once again I have to record with much pleasure the grateful t.hanks of the staff to Lady Wat on for her supervision of the Hospital linen room, and her olicitude for the welfare of t.he Hospital in general. Lastly, it i my plea ant duty to thank Dr. Manson, Sub-Warden, mo t cordially for his loyal co-operation; indeed, I am likewise indebted to all members of the siaff, British and Palestinian, for their much appreciated helpfulnes TRATHEARN, ( igned) J.

Of the total operations (1,633), only 139 were for the r lief of trichiasis. This is a most disappointing figure, and once again I r gr t to note the steady fall since 1928, when the t.richiasis op raLions toLalled 1,182. That there is still an enormous number of trichiasi case in Lhe country is evident from the fact that last year no fewer than 3, tn.) sufferers from this painful and disabling affection attended the H ospital of the Order, but owing to pre sure of other operative work w w r only able to deal with a quarter of these cases. Thi t.ype of op ralive work is well within the competence of the taffs at eye clinic. and t.h eir trichiasis operations are generally very good. Probably th more regular visitation of the (( clinics" by a surg on from the Hospital would stimulate the doctors to greater efforts, and so do much to relieve the already sorely handicapped peasant by the removal of this phy ical disability. Only one Government Medical Officer (Dr. Daoud Bulos, of Haifa), attended for a « refresher" course.

The following articles in addition have been asked for by the \Varden, and the provi~ion sanctioned : Terrazzo shelves on which to plac the soluLion jar, etc. A metal card index for record of ca CS, made to a special de ign by the \Varden. These artic1e have all been supplied at a total cost of £5 l l4s. The following i the li t of Special Gifts received up to the nd of September, 1931, from Member of the Guilu : 72 yards Unbleached Calico from the Dowag r Countess of 1 radford. 8 linen Table Cloth from Mr .

Besides these individual gifts we have purcha d out of J1l mhers' subscriptions the following : 62 yards \iVhite Calico. 98l yards Grey Cotton 1\1aterial. 90 yards Plain Cotton Sheeting. 120 yard Unbleached Calico. 61 yards arrow triped c:.hirting. 62 yards Broader Striped Shirting. 59 yards Extra Dark Shirting. 2 dozen Pieces Tape. 6 yards Double \Vidth Linen for Tab1e Cloths. 54 Bolster Cases. 11 Assistants' Overalls. 11 Surgeons' Overalls. These have all been dispatched, and a letter of grateful thanks received from the \Varden. The overalls for surgeons and assistants are needed yearly, as the washing in Palestine is somewhat hard on the garment.. The List for 1932 has already been circulated, and I hope that even though times are hard and difficult for many that our work for the Order and its much-needed and muc11-appreciated Hospital will not be allowed to suffer.

There has al 0 been a con iderable increa e in the number of Voucher i ued through Detached Clas e , the figure being 9,260 as compared with 5,771 for the preceding year. The returns of certificates i sued by Overseas Centres do not reach headquarters in time for inclusion in the figures et out above, but reports now available how that the grand total issued oversea from 1923 to 19:iO inclu ive is approximately 223,479, making the grand total of certificate i ' sued by the A ociation 2,12-1,146.

THE

An Order of the Ministry of Transport is ued in May, 1931, lays down that in " every public service vehicle which is for the time being used as an expre s carriage or a a contract carriage there shall be carried a uitable receptacle containing . . . first aid dre sings and appliances". Although the Ministry of Tran port doe not lay down that driv r or conductor hall have a knowledge of fir t aid there are indication that they have in increa ing numb rs joined cla se arranged by the A ociation. OVERSEAS CENTRES AND BRANCHES.

The Association has again initiated classes in new areas oversea, viz. Fiji, Cairo, and Trinidad. The Commandant of Police at Zanzibar propo es to arrange for the instruction of his Force in fir t aid, and much prelin1inary work ha been done in Nigeria where con ideration is being given to the desirability of establishing a Centre. CIa ses have continued in Cyprus where the first class of native workers who can speak and write English wa held. They showed a keen interest in the subject, and the percentage of failures was small. The classes in Iraq have also continued with much success. In none of the Overseas Centres has there been a falling-off of activitle ; in fact, rather the reverse has been evident throughout the year. \Yhile Canada has not been able to reach the high figure it attained last year, it has nevertheless again issued a large number of certificate, and it i gratifying to the Ambulance Committee to know that the ban on honour of the Order in Canada has now been removed, and that it will therefore be possible in the future to make recommendation to the Chapter-General of the Order for the recognition of the services of tho e Canadian engaged in furthering the interests of the Ambulance Department in Canada. The work of the Ambulance Department of the Order in ew Zealand now controlled by the Dominion Executive will shortly be taken over by a Commandery of the Order in ew Zealand, the tabli hment of which as from 24th June has been approved by the Chapter-General. It is very fitting that the Commandery should come into being during the year in which such good work was done by the Association and by the Brigade in New Zealand in connection with the terribl earthquake which occurred at Hawkes Bay on 3rd February. The ame afternoon a party of ambulance men left Auckland by warship with supplies, and an hour later an ambulance and a further party of men left by road; later a second ambulance and a further party of men were di patched. On the same evening a party consisting of two nurses and several men left \Vellington for Napier, while at \Vanganui men and women were standing by ready to leave at a moment's notice. The work performed by Centres and Districts in ew Zealand in connection with the disaster earned the highest praise from all quarters. No less commendable has been the services of the As ociation and the Brigade in Hong Kong, whose work in connection with the disaster on the Kowloon Canton Railway on 20th April and the Anti-Japanese Riots of 26th September is dealt with in the report of the Chief Commissioner of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas.

COMPETITIONS.

T. JOHN AMBULANCE ASSOCIATIO .

India continues to do all that is possible for the furtherance of the work of the Association, and although the progress in educational work which has been evident in recent years has received a check, it is clear that it is only temporary, and there is cause for satisfaction at the progress made in other directions. The majority of the Centres in Australia, where the general depression has perhaps been most acute, have issued a larger number of awards than in the previous year, which is a very creditable performance. In New South Wales preparations are being made for launching a campaign to start classes in the more remote districts. The impetus given to the work of the Association in Southern Africa by the establishment of a Commandery was referred to in last year's report. This has been well maintained. The presence in London of many representatives of Centres overseas during the celebrations held to commemorate the Centenary. o.f the revival in England of the Order of St. John, afforded opportumbes to discu s with them problems with which they have been confronted or various matters which have been the subject of correspondence, and full advantage was taken of the opportunity. ROYAL Ii SPECTION.

La t y ar the North Riding County Centre reported that H.R.H. The Prince of \Yales had been graciou ly pleased to inspect the ambulance men from Iiddlesbrough and district, an event which recalled the first Royal In pection of A sociation members by His late Majesty King Edward VII, whil t Prince of \\'ales, in 1889, also in l\Iiddlesbrough. This year the Centre was again honoured with a Royal Inspection . H.R.H. Princess lary, Counte s of Harewood, visited Middlesbrough and in pected orne 600 members of the t. John Ambulance Association at the Jubilee Celebration arranged by the Centre. CO~IPETITI o~s.

Interc t in ambulance competitions has been well maintained during the year. Captain A. C. \\'hite Knox, i\I.C., i\I.B., of London, judged the Preliminary Competition for ngrouped Railways at t. John's Gate on 10th April, and placed the competing teams in the following order :1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

The Committee' great regret at the re ignation of Mr. W. H. Iorgan from the office of Director of the tore Department, and at his ub equent death, \Va announced in the la t Report. The vacancy ha been filled by the appointment of Colonel R. B. Airey, C.M.G., D.S.O., as Director of that Department . The progre s of this Department during the past year has been sati factory, although there has been a decrease in the turnover. This may be attributed partly to the general trade de pre ion and partly to the fact that the abnormal sale of the Fir t Aid Textbook, following upon its revision, is now diminishing.

During the year the As ociation has disposed of the Renault, Iorris, and the Armstrong iddeley ambulance, and has purcha ed a Clement Talbot ambulance, of which there are now three in use. The mileage covered was 59,122, and the number of patients carried was 2,017. Many of these were persons in poor circum tance , and were carried free of charge or for a reduced fee for the following in titution :-The Bermondsey Iedical l\Iission, the Blind Association, Bolingbroke Hospital, Brompton Hospital, the Catholic A ociation (Lourde's Pilgrimage), the Children's Hospital, Paddington Green, the hildren' Hospital, Great Ormond Street, the Convent of :JIercy, Public Health Departments, Finsbury, etc., Grooms Crippleage, Ho pital aturday Fund, Hospital aving Association, the Italian Ho pital, I ling ton :JIedical Mission, Jewish Hospital, Medical Officers of Health, fetropolitan Hospital, 1\foorfields (Eye) Hospital, Iildmay fedical Mi ion, ::\ational Institute for the Blind, National Hospital, Queen quare, Paramount Philanthropic Society, Princess Louise Hospital, Royal I'ree Ho pital, Royal Sea Bathing Hospital, Royal Chest Hospital, Royal ~ational Orthopcedic Hospital, Royal Northern Hospital, t. Peter' Ho pital, St. Thomas' Hospital, St. George's Hospital, the eamen's Ho pital, Invalid Children's Aid Association, and the Charity Organization ociety, etc. In addition, the Department has continued to convey patients to and from the London Light and Electrical Clinic controlled by the Order, and a larger number of patients are availing them elves of the treatment offered at this institution, thereby increasing the number carried.

In June the Order celebrated the centenary of its revival in England, and the occasion provided an opportunity for the assembly in London of a large number of overseas representatives of the Association and of the Brigade. All Centres and Districts had been notified of the programme which had been provi ion ally arranged to commemorate this historic occasion, and made every endeavour to be adequately represented, but many were handicapped either by the vast distance separating them from headquarters, or by the depressed conditions prevailing throughout the world, or by both. Nevertheless some 194 overseas members of the Order, of the Association, and of the Brigade were in London for the Celebrations, and their presence was very gratifying to the officials of the Order and to those others who had the pleasure of meeting them or of discussing with them matters of interest or concern to the Order and to the Dominions and Colonies. Quite a number of the overseas members arrived individually, but the first official contingent came from outh Africa, and was met at vVaterloo on 15th June by Major-General Sir Percival vVilkinson, Director of the Ambulance Department, Colonel J. L. Sleeman, Chief Commissioner of of the t. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas, Mrs. Dent, Lady uperintendent-in-Chief of the Brigade Overseas, and Captain A. N. Cahusac, Chief ecretary of the Ambulance Department. The contingent consisted of seventy-seven members, not including Dr. D. Bennie Hewat, Director of Ambulance and Commandery Commissioner for Southern Africa, and l\Ir . Hewat, Colonel \V. Booth kinner, Chief Surgeon, and ilIrs. kinner, Ir. A. F. \Villiams, Hospitaller and Almoner, and Mrs. \Yilliam , who had arrived earlier. The next contingent to arrive came from Canada and consisted of twenty- ight member of the Brigade Overseas under the charge of Dr. C. J. Copp, the Commis ioner; they came in two parties and, in the unavoidable ab ence of ir Percival \Yilkinson and Colonel Sleeman, were met by ilfr . Dent and Captain Cahusac. The follO\ving Dominions and Colonies, whether at Association or Brigade function, were repre ented: Australia, eleven members, including Mr. T. H. Henderson and Mis F. A. Read; Bermuda was represented by Ir. F. H. H. Harri ; Canada wa represented by thirty-eight members, in~luding Captain 1. Vernon, l\Ir. D. Kemp Edwards, and 1\1r. J. J. Kmley; Hong Kong wa represented by Miss D. Jaques; India sent thirty-sev n repre entative, including Sir Henry Moncrieff Smith, ir Reginald pence, Irs. Hamlyn, frs.

Mifsud; New Zealand was represented by fourteen members, and outhern Africa by eighty-two members. On 18th June all overseas representatives were invited to tea in the Chapter Hall at St. John's Gate, where they were received by the Earl of Scarbrough, the ub-Prior, and the Countess of Scarbrough, Sir Aylmer Hunter-\Veston, the Chancellor, and Lady Hunter-vVeston, and other Executive Officers and their wives. They were hOWD round the Library and Museum, and were presented with copies of the History of the Order.

3,398 and 7 ~1 2 for the previous year. The increase therefore repre ents an influx of the general public, with possibly one special contributorthe cla e for omnibus workers which have become more numerous sinc the provision of fir t aid equipment on public ervice vehicles has b en a tatutory obligation . Th Priory i arranging about five hundred examinations and three hundred re-examinations annually and a summary of the results for the y ar 1918 to 1931 inclusive give a total of 60,917 first year certificates i ued in the fourteen years.

Anoth r ati factory feature of the year under review is the developm nt in the junior ection. The 79 cla es were attended by 1,705 :tudent ·, 1, 16~ qualifying for Preliminary Certificates. The majority of th , e cla .. s were held in outh \ Vale , but it i anticipated that the adoption of Ambulance work by Yr Grdd, the \Vel h League of Youth, a ' a u cful channel for future activity among it 35,000 members will giYe a welcom impetu to our work particularly among the \ Vel h ,>peaking boy and girl of 1\orth and Mid \Vale , who may now tudy the \\'cl-h translation of the textbook and receive Certificate in Welsh.

The total number of ca e carried and mileage travelled, viz. 7,416 and 1 ~11,814, show increa es of 1,919 and 33,565 over the figures for 1930. There are 29 colliery companie covering 70 collieries and 7 other companies sub cribing, in addition to 52 colliery lodges, 12 other bodies of workmen and 12 districts contributing at the rate of one penny per week for a call on the Service. Once again the Priory gratefully acknowledges it ind bt dne to the South \ Vales and fonmouthshire Committee of the Miners' \Velfare Fund for a further grant of £2,500, without which the ervice could not have been extended or maintained in uch a high tate of efficiency. The opening of one new Medical Comfort Depot at Yny ybwl during 1930 bring the number of tho e now in operation to 32; 23 of which are under ' the control of Brigade nit; and th total number of articles of invalid equipment i ued in 1931 wa 3,8 3, an increase of 35-1 on the previou year. In the Stores Department the ale of Textbook and Publication reached the total of 4,196, and, following a meeting of Brigad Officer, which was addres ed by the Commi ioner for Wale at the end of la t year, and the subsequent issue of revi ed price li ts, there i an indication that the Brigade will be prepared in future to give the Priory the benefit of their orders for uniforms and stor s. At the Engineering Exhibition held in the Greyfriar Hall, ardiff, in November, the Priory was given an opportunity, by courte y of the executive of the South Wales In titute of Engineer, to xhibit Fir t Aid equipment; and the stand attracted con iderable notice.

The number attending cla es has been splendidly maintained, and there is no doubt that wider interest is taken in the work than had been the case for year before the visit of the Delegation from t.

On the other hand, the finances of the cen tre have been considerably depleted through the circumstances of the times, the Government grant having been reduced to what is practically the regular payment for the ordinary services rendered by the centre. The centre formed 58 classe during the year. The policy of the Education Department to require students at the Teachers' 011 g to obtain their fir t aid certificate has led to an increased memberhip from that ource.

De pite the unsettled economic and financial condition of the community, it i atisfactory to rep rt that th work of the centre ha been maintained and teady progre mad. Th object of the Chairman of the committee in pre enting a ilver shield for annual competition in first aid work between teams repre enting various firm, department ,a ociation, and companie \va to r vive in tere. t in the work of the A ociation in outhern Tasmania and to create a friendly spirit of competition between the conte tant . The object appears to have been achieved, for whereas three team en t red the compci.i tion in 1930, in the econd event held at the To~rn Hall on 16th eptember, even wellprepared teams entered, the Tasmanian Police Department team being declared the winners. The suggestion made at the la t annual meeting that arrangements hould be made wher by per on trained in fir t aid work could be called upon to render a i tance in times of any eriou di a ter ha now been dealt with, and a number of name and addre e of re ponsible officers employed by private firm, railway, etc., have been obtained, and hould the nece ity ari e it would be po 'sible to mobolize a fir t aid unit at hort notice. The sudden death of the late ~Ir. J. H. Lord on 18th ~Iarch, VICTORIA. 1931 , occasioned deep orr ow to the. ocia tion, Mr. Lord having held the position of ecretary to the centre for fifteen year.. To perpetuate the memory of the late Dr. Charles Bag , Dr. H... L. McAdam, and V. B. Trapp, E q., the Lord 11ayor attended and officially unveiled suitable mural plaques at the headquarter of the c ntre on 17th November. The centre organized a total of 110 cla 'e: during the year, which howed an increase of 2~3 cla e over th previous year, in pite of the abnormal indu trial conditi n pr vailing during the year.

I will content my'elf with quoting the aggregate figures of work performed by the various Di tricts and Counties, a the Commis ioners ' reports contain the detail of the excellen.t services rendered by person? ] under their re pective commands. I WIsh, however, to draw. attenhon to the great increase in the l\Iotor Ambulance Transport SIde of the Brigade's activitie ; in many ca e the entire transport in this respect i till left to the Brigade to carry out.

The figures show that 216 Motor Ambulance were ~perat d by the Brigade, and during la t year 80,586 patient wer carned ~o and fr?m hospitals or nursing homes; tlli compare with .t2,O 1 pat! nt. earn d in 1930. An anal\, i of the Return how that 386,283 ca e. of accident. and udden illi1e are recorded a having been attended to by member of the Brigade, compared with 451,370 ca e ' attended in 1 30. Tb~re were 13,095 attendance at Civil Ho pital by members of t.ll 1 ur ll1g Divi ions, compared with 12,035 in 1930. In this my first year I have been greatly t.ruck by tll keen11 ~s and efficiency of the Brigade in meet.incr all emergencie ' and in carrying out public dutie. In almost all a e where accidents ha,' occurred members of the Brigade have generally been quickly on til _pot and attended the injured efficiently . At all important functions and gath rings member of the Brigade have hown great public spirit in attending in the nece ary numbers. It i impo ible to mention in detail tll numerous case -in which their a i tan e has been utiliz d, but I would like to draw attention to the follo" ing outstanding exam pi T

The Bentley Colliery Disllster-_ o. 5 Di triel. The report reads-" The di a ter occurred on K oy m b r 20th, 1931. and the new wa sent to the Donca ter Re cue tation that Ee')cu 111 11 and Ambulance men were required to deal with an explo ion. " The Donca ter Rescue tation, which compri e th local colli ri ·s in that area i constituted of member who are all memb rs of th St. J ohn Al~bulance Brigade. A large number of R -cu men a~Hl Ambulance men responded to the call and rendered wonderful sen'lCC to the victims, many cases of which were,' ry eriou O\-\'ing to ext 11si,,' burns." The report goes on to record-" The funeral of the victim took plac ' on ovember 25th, when 450 Officer, Ambulance men, and ~ur illg Sisters attended under the charge of Di trict Officer Bunting. They acted as bearers, attended to three Fir t Aid tation, and a i ted at the actual interment. They had a very trying experience in the crov;d of some 30,000 people, and over 300 cases were treat.ed at the fir t aid stations during the long interment." On this occasion members of the following orps and Divi ions perfo rmed most valuable servicesBentley Colliery Division , ew Edlington Corp, A kern Main Corps, Brodsworth Main Corps, Doncaster Corp. , Harworth Colliery Clas . Denaby Main Corps, and Maltby fain Corp. In regard to routine public duties, the folJowing are typical of the work carried outBy o. 1 (Prince of \Vales's) District in connection with the Opening of Parliament, Lord Mayor's how, Armi tice Day at the Cenotaph, and Road Patrol duty in connection with the Schneider Trophy Flight.

I have r ceiyed I find that incre.ased public duty is in eviel nce at. football matche , speedways, dog-racmg tracks, and 111 tact wherever crowel. a emble. I have evidence that on all such occaSIOns valuable a. istance has be n rendered to the public. In connection with the work carried out by ursing Divisions, I wish to thank tIl Lady uperintendent-in-Chief for the great assistance gi,'en to mince I took ov r office. It will be seen from her rep?rt that in addition to und rtaking many inspection, the Lady upennt nclent-in- hid arranged 7,-!4-! attendances at Prov~ncial Hospitals a?d Girl Guide.

A my predece or remarked, no section of the work of t?e Bnga~e demand mm If- acrifice than that rendered on the hIghways m dealing with motor accident. .. Owing to the increa e in motor traffic and the mcreasmg number of accident, I con ider that this ervice must grow in importance. The above figure shO\v that in the various Di tr~ct and Cour:ties t~e road accident service i receiving increa ing attentIon, but I WIsh to Impress on all ommi ioners the neces itv of even extending this service where po ible. I realize that the service makes great demands on the member who have to acrifice much of their leisure hours and holiday to thi work, but it great importance ju tifies even further efforts being made to extend it. The work carried out has been of the greatest value to the motoring public, and I tender my grateful thanks to all those who have served on thi onerous duty during the past year.

The In pecting ~Iedical Officer reports--" The individual report from the Instructing Medical Officers on the reservists' training were up t o the high standard which was attained during 1929 and 1930." The total strength of the ~Iilitary H ospitals Reserve is now 1,556, al1 increa e of 239 for the year. even hundred and ten reservists underwent a week's course of training at a :J.Iilitary Hospital. The reports from the Hospitals at which these men trained show satisfaction with the duties performed, and in each case the reservist was recommended for further training. There were 242 Voluntary Aid Detachments with a total strength of 7,780, of which 1,632 are mobile members.

Our Commandant-in-Chief H.R.H. th Ducll 'of York most graciously pres~nted the hield and Prize this year and it was a very great pI a ure to u all to have Her Royal Highne with us on thi occa ion. The winning team was Liverpool with 375 mark gained. LlaneJly came econd with 365 mark, and carried off the "Corbet Fletcher" Trophy. Liverpool gained highe t marks in the Individual Practical Test and wa awarded the" Chahner: "Trophy. I\ipon wun tbc .. Lady Mountgarret " Cup for bed-making. I should like to expre my very real gratitude to all tllO~e who su kindly helped me on this occa iOll. The arrangcm nt. w re all mo~t efficiently and succes full: carried out. In particular I feel \YC O\ye a very great debt of gratitude to ~Ii - Cochran , R.R.C., :JIalron of Charing Cros Hospital, to :JIi- Todd, R.R.C., :Jlatron of t. Jame '.

THE

This branch of our work bows a lead\' illcrea ,which testifies of itself to the succe - of the t.;ndenaking quite apart from the many letter of appreciation which have been recei,'cd. The text of one letter from the Girl Guide Commi ioner for Camping I give below:CAMPS.

" I have been a ked by repre entative of the 'a mping Branch of uur ;'\lovement to thank you very much indeed for all th hclp \\- have received from member of your Brigade during the pa tamping ,ea on. I have received many most appreciative letters on the ubject, aying that not only were your members excellent at attending to tbe h alth of the campers, but were so nice in entering into th life of the camp as well. " I only hope that your members who were kind nouah to render service in this way were well received and looked after by the Guid r . If you have received any adverse critici ms of their treatment., or of the arrangements made for their department, I should be mo t grateful if you would pass them on to me." I have no adverse criticisms to refer to the Commissioner for Camping. Our members invariably meet with the greatest kindness and consideration and enjoy their first experience so much that they are anxious to be detailed for duty again. The number of Guide Camps attended this year i 71; the number of members detailed is 73. In ome ca e the same member attended more than one camp during the summer, and in others, when the camp was a large one, two members would work together. We also staffed the camp at Ingham Old Hall, Norfolk, for three months again this year. Six members covered this duty between them, each member taking the duty for a fortnight. This is a camp run by the Seaside Camps and Settlement Association and the number of campers ma~' be anything up to 200.

The two matters ·which show that a District i progressing, yiz., increase in strength and increased performance of public dutie , are quite prominent. The present strength of the District is as follo\\"s :Total.

Although during the year we had over 1,000 recruits the actual increase oyer the p revious year is 406. This is accounted for by the fact that the annual wastage from resignations, removal for inefficiency, transfers to other Districts, was 11 per cent. The usual wastage is generally about 7 per cent, but I think the increase is accounted for largely by the • ew Regulations which order that m embers ineffi cient. for two years have to be crossed off. The following new Divisions have been formed during the year 1931 : -

Ambulance.-l o. 117 Hayes. o. 118 Southgate. No. 119 Epsom.

Nursing.-No. 70 Eltham (Well Hall) Nursing Division. I o. 71 City. CADETS.

Ambulance.- o. C.l3 East Ham. No. C.15 Cricklewood (Hendon Section). Nursing.-No. C.N. 14 East Ham.

r much regret to inform you that the following senior Officers died during the year :1 istnct OHicer N. S. I [amburger on March 10th. District Surgeon Dr. R Connon H.obertson on April 1Rth.

formcd. J cannot speak too highly of the administrative ability displayed by Captall1 Goodley in carrying out his duties as Public Duty Officer. He never spares himseH, nor grudges the time that he has to give to the work. He deals with difficulties in a most tactful manner, but invariably sces that his instructions arc carried out. As sho\\'n by this report the work in the District increased enormously during 193], but there has been always a ready response to my demands for members to carry out t.he dut.ies I am gratcful to the Assistant Commissioners and all the m nibere:, of my District Staff for thcir loyal support to me and for the amount of time they givc to the performance of their duties, as well as to all thc Officers and members of the District \\'ho SLlPP0rt. me by giying of their best to the work that \\.. all havc at heart. 1 cnclose copics o( reports from the Assistant Commissioners-in-Charge of Areas, from the Public Duty Officers, and onc from Lady District Officer Lady :'Iountgarret on the V . \ D 's have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient sen'ant, FR \.

Gazette.-D uring the year the orthern Area started its own Gazette, so that now four out of five Areas have a Gazette. I feel sure that this Gazette will contribute to improve the efficiency of the Area, and inculcate a spirit of friendly emulation among the members of the Area.

lopy of I{eporl from\ssistant Commis ioncr Dr. Ernest McIntyre, SOUTHERX AHE \ . " It lS WIth pleasure that I have to record, once again, a succes ful year of work in my .\rea. " Thc Slze of the "\rea, always very large, has , from the working aspect, been increased by the formatIon of nc\\' Divi ions, both Ambulance and ~ursing, and thouf.!h thIS bnngs with it increased calls for personnel, there have been only rare or aSIans \\ hen such requests have had to be unan ",ereel . " \\'hile I cannot give any exact figures, I am aware that there has been a considerable increase In the number of Public Dutie performed during the past year, and am happy to be able to tate, once again, that these dutie are well performed. 'ly own personal connectIon with sport take me to a large number of Athletic Grounds, of all categories, anel thus I am able to ascertall1 at first hand, in what manner the duties are carried out; and this without the knowledge of the personnel in any pa.rt.ICular duty . " Thc splrit of keenn ss in the work has been maintained and' First _-\id ' retains its hic:h lc\cl 10 the .\rea . .. Our numbers ha.\ e increased con Iderably, making due allowance for defections, and I am glad to bc able to statc that we are getting a large percentage of young recrulh of bolh sexes, anel of the de ired type. " Il IS interesl1ng to note that thc attendance at Drills shows an increase and that there are many fewer rendered ' inefficient' from this cause, while the figures for clutlCs as stated- before, sho\\' a marked inc rea e. " I ha \ c t.o thank the personnel in general for the spirit in which they co-operate to make the work of the rea worthy of the Brigade, and more particularly must I thank my b\'o District Of1'lcers, ?lIr. lifford and :\Irs. lIIcCaffrey, for their wholehearted devotion to the Area without their untiring cfforts I should find it difficult to carryon."

I beg respectfully to draw your attention to the report 01 s istant Commissioner Captain Goodley, the Public Duty Officer, on the work for which the Brigade was primarily formed. It shows that during the year the members performed duties on 85,005 occasions, a duty not being counted as such unless it lasts four hours, the majority lasting considerably longer. This sho·\.\'s an increase over 1930 01 21,420. The cases treated at these public duties were 18,8 6, an increase of 3,530 . This enormous work entails a great amount of work on the Public Duty Officer, Assistant Commissioner Captain Goodley, and the Lady District Superintendent Miss Rideout, who details the women personnel. I am most grateful to them for devoting so much time to these important duties. Captain Goodley is at Head quarters every evening, and whenever required interviews the Manager of the Cinemas, Theatres, Race Meetings, etc., himself, and frequently inspect the stations

REPORT FOR 193 1. COUNTY OF BERK . 14, SHEET STREET, '.VI. DSOR . 12th Jlarch, 1932 . THE CHIEF Oi\Ii\IISSIONER, ST . JOH . AMBULANCE BRIGADE. SIR, I have the honour to submit my annual report for the year 1931. In the ounty of Berkshire there are 8 Ambulance Divisions, 2 ursing Divi ions and 2 Cadet mbulance Divisions; the personnel being 277 men, 49 women and 50 boys, makmg a total of 376 as compared with 350 in 1930. During the year I visited all the Divisions and in pected them at their Headquarters. I found all Divisions active and efficient. One new Di"ision has been formed during the year owing to the enthusiasm of Major E . \V . Polson Newman who has started an Ambulance Division at Bracknell in a part of this County which had not previously been interested in St. John work. I wish to thank all Divisional Officers for their assistance and all ranks for the efficient way in which they have carried out their duties. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, . G. OSBORN, County Commissioner.

The two first aid posts which are under the Corps have been made a great use of during the season, the one at the Zoological Gardens at Clifton has now been replaced by the Committee of the Zoo with a very useful building, and the services of the members are in great demand, especially at holiday times. The City authorities are building new dressing rooms on Durdham Downs, and the Council have very generously decided to provide a very nice Ambulance room for the Brigade, which will replace the Hut which the Corps has used for a number of years. R.N.A .S.B.R.-Of the 38 members enrolled in this Reserve 36 underwent a course of training at the various Kaval Hospitals, and the reports received were very gratifying.

The service of eleyen of th e twelve motor ambulances tationed in the county is maintained by Ambulance Divisions with the assistance at four tations of local Committees. During the year 1,85+ patients were removed in these motor ambulances of which number 522 "w ere due to road accidents. Road Duty continues to be carried out in certain areas during the week-ends of the summer months, notably by the Slough orps and Henley Division . The outstanding event of the year has been the week of the Centenary elebrations of the Order commencing on Sunday, June 21st, when members of the ::\orth Bucks Divisions attended a Centenary ervice in the Pari h Church, Emberton, conducted by the Rey. C. B. Hulton, a Chaplain of the Order. There were two functions in that week at which members of the Bucks Divisions participated th ,en 'ice in \Vestminster Abbey a.nd the Revie"w in lIyde Park by 11.H. .ll. Prince 1\rthur of Connaught. At the latter every Division in the ounty was represented by two or three members . C071lpetitions.-Teams from four Nur ing Divisions competecl in the County Joint Competitions held at High Wycombe on :\Iarch 7th, the team from the Chesham Tursing Di\'ision gaining second place and \\ innmg the" Lincolnshire" Cup. This Division also gained fir t place in the Inc1l\'id ual Tests, winnincr the " Allhusen " Cup. Teams from ten Ambulance Diyi ions competed in the County Prehminary for the "Dewar" Shield Competition held at Aylesbury on :\Iarch 2 ' tho The V,' olverton Division gained the" Dewar" County hield; the" Lady Roth,;child " Cup; and the Cup presented by Major . Abrahams ; the Aylesbury Divi~lon gained the" Mayors" Shield and the" Bucks J oint Committee" up; and the Slough G.W.R. Division gained the" Carlile" Cup . The tests at both these Competitions were arranged , and the Judges appointed, by the County Surgeon-Major . J . . Ilolden. At the No.2 District Competitions held at windon ('vYiUs) on April 2nd, the \Volverton Ambulance and Chesham ursing Di\'isions represented the ounty, the \;>;,Yolverton Division winning the District Trophy-the" Oxo" up. At the Finals, held in London on lay 15th, the \Yoh'erton Divi. ion represented TO. 2 District, and secured third place . The increased support recei\'ed by Divi ions from Borough and District Councils has been very encouraging, and the mo t cordial co-operation continues to eXIst with the Police, the A. . and R.A.C. Scouts in the ounty. The Bucks Divisions are again indebted to the Bucks ounty entre of the Association for their practical encouragement and financial aid during the past year. I am indebted to the County Surgeon and Lady County Officer for their \ aluable and efficient co-operation. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, P . G.

March 31 st, 1932. THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER, ST. JOH N AMBULA;\,CE BRIGADE, SIR,

I have the honour of submitting my Second Annual Report for the year ending December 31st, 1931. The total strength of the Brigade in the County isUnits Strength 216 G Ambulance Divisions 5+ 2 Nursing Divisions 8 This shows a decrease in strength of 14 since 1930 .

270

DISTRICT

In spite of this decrease, I am satisfied that the general efficiency of all Divisions is well m aintained. The numbers shown above would seem to indicate that First Aid work is at a low ebb in Gloucestershire-such is, however, not the case. For, in addition to t.he Units of the Brigade, there are thriving Railway mbulance Corps in Gloucester and Cheltenham, under the auspices of the t. J ohn Ambulance Association; and several ~Iembers of these Corps are also valu ed :\Iembers of Brigade Divisions . The i~ter Organization, the B.R.C.S., is strong in numbers and well organized, especially as regard \Yomen's Detachments . nel it does not appear to be a wise policy to attempt the formation of more St. John Nursing Divisions, unle s regular Public Duties can be found for them. In the Forest of Dean, which is rather detached from the rest of the County, there appears to he plenty of enthusiasm for ssociation work; and efforts have been, and still are bemg made, to form Ambulance Division in Cinderford and Lydney . The main !:>tumblmg blocks are: (1) The difficulty of finding willing and suitable persons to undertake the organizing work, and (2) the present depression in Industry , with the concomitant financial difficulties. XUl'Sl1Ig Dl( IsioJls.-The Cheltenha.m ~ursing Division is very efficient. Members perform relief and holiday duty at th e General Hospital; Staff the First Aid room at the Race ourse, and the _\mbulan ce Tents at Flower Shows and other public function'; Lady Superintendent :\Iiss Faber, the 1.\\'0 Lady Divisional Surgeons, and Lady mbulan cG Off1cers, cle<;en'e much credit for their energy and enthusiasm, in bringing the Division t.o such a high pitch of efficiency. The Gloucester Nursing Di\'l:>ioll, unfortunately, has not yet found its feet. But I ha\-e e\' ry confidence that, with the assistance and advice of Dr. E. N. Davey - the newly -appointed Divisional ' urgeon- it will increase in strength and efficiency. f am hoping that it will be found pos ible to form a ::\ursing Division in Dursley.

The h Itcnham Corps con ists of two Ambulance Divisions (Friendly Societies and Town) and one Kursing Di\'ision . In this Town, the mbulance Transport er vice is organized and managed by a. joint Executive ommittee, on which there is equal representation of the Brigade anel B .n.. .S. There is a well-equipped Ambulance IIeadquarter , at which are stationed two :'Iotor mbulances, ov..-ned by the ommittee, and a Ford Ambulance, owned by the Race ourse ommittee, which can be used for Service in the Town in case of emergency. I take this opportunity of drawing your attention to the cordial relations which exist between the Brigade and B .R.C.S. in Cheltenham. They share the Headquarters, all public duties, and th e bearer work in connection with the Ambulance 'ervice. The r esult is that the ervice i very efncient. The Corporation recognize the value of this Service, by voting Annually a Grant of £100 to the Joint mbulance ommittee. An mbulance Section, at AndoversIord, to be attached to the Cheltenham TO'w n Divi ion, is in process of formation. The two Junior Divisions in the County-R. A . Lister's (Dursley) and Tewkesbury are now well established and are doing good work. , The Ambulance arrangements for the T ewkesbury Pageant in July were efficiently carried out by the Local Divi ion, assisted by Detachments from Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Dursley . And a letter was received from the Chairman of the Pageant Committee, expressing thanks and warmest appreciation of the valuable Services given by the Ambulance \Vorkers.

These figures when compared with last year's returns may, to some, indicate, that very little progress has been made in the ounty (so far as members are concerned), but I am pleased to certify, that great progress has been made by many Divisions, and when I suryey the work undertaken, and accomplished, I feel ure 1931 has been a record year for the Brigade in Somer et . The start was made by the 'V eston-super-~Iare Corps, who on ;\Iay 3rcl added two New Ambulances to their fleet, a "Talbot" and "Star." Th e Deuication Service was conducted by the Bishop of Bath and \\' lIs, th e hairman at the service being" The ~1arquess of Bath, K.G., E:night of Justice, . Order of ' t. John.' " This was soon followed by a similar Dedication Sen'ice of a new Ambulance at

that the 'Veston-super-Mare D.D.C. last year, und er the Public Health Act, Amen~ ment Act, Sect. 50, purchased a Talbot Ambulance costing £500, and at a ,PublIc service handed it over to the Brigade for u se in Wes~on-super-Mar~ and D.l,stnct, The Brigade, in return, handed over to the Cou.n cli ~)lle of theIr old Ford Ambulances," to be used by them (if required) for tnfechous cases only. . Help is also being given to some Divisions by the Somerset County CounCIl by grants of money towards the up-keep of their Amb.ulances , " " Pre~s to the l\Iore publicity has, during the past year, been gIven by .t he work done by the Brigade, with. the result. :-Several very actIve CommIttees have been formee!, and various functIons orgamzed and held on . behalf of the Funds of several 1 J\'lsions. '''onderful success has crowned theIr efforts, and several hundred pounds hav e been subscribed by the public and handed over towar,ds the purc hase of New Ambulance '. Buil.ding St. John H,ea,dquarters, e~c. In thIS way 1931 has indeed been a record III thIS County. But It IS very cheenng to know that from the numbers of Balls, Carnivals, Fetes, \Vhist-drives, etc., already held, or arranged. by these Committees, 1932 will be even a great~r success. The Ambulance Ball , held at \\' eston-super-:\Iare on Jan. 14th, resulted 1ll ~ ~~t pr?fit of £82 2s. 9d, towards Headquarters Bulldmg Fund, To encourage DIVISIons III the Cou~ty to arran"c Annual Fla rr Days I recently purcha ed 150 Collecting boxes and SUItable Tra y 2(from the Co~nty Fund), these to be loaned to Divisions who apply for them, labelled, and ready for usc . . " 1 wish lo r('Cord Illy siJlce;e lhan/,s to the" Pl'ess " for their help 1ll b.n nglllg t~ the notice of the Pubic the work done by the Brigade; to tlte several actwe Comr:t~ttees ill th e Call illy, for organizing Fetes, Balls, etc; to the ~ublic, fo~ re~pondlllg to app als, etc., and pro\'iding the Divisions \",ith Fu~ds (WIthout whIch It would be ImpOSSIble to carryon); and to all O~cers, .N.C.O. s ':lnd members ~or ~he support given to me during the pa t year.

Kot to be outdone in the march towards efficiency, wonderful \\'ork and energy was then put into the 'work by the last formed Division in the County \Vellington, who not only raised Funds to equip its 19 members with uniform, but was a lso able to purchase an up-to-date Kew "Morris De Luxe Ambulanc ," The dedicatIon service w as conducted by the Right Rev. Bishop De Salis, of Taunton , as isted by ministers of other Denominations of 'Wellington and Distnct, on July 12th . These services were attended by Officers, J.. ,C.O.'s and member ' of all DI\'i ions in the County, and for this, I cannot speak too highly of the good fellowslllp that eXIst between Divisions. There is always plenty of help . vVhether: Fetes, Carnival , Balls, or Services, whatever the Cause, members of Divisions are ready, and volunteer to help other Divisions, and even pay their own expenses to give 'a helping hand All Divisions in the County were Inspected by myself, and I was more than pleased to note the progress made since my previous visit. Divisions are taking a keener interest in Competitions. The County Trial were held at Weston-super-Mare on May 2nd, and the Teams who represented the County at the No.2 District Competition at Swindon, were :-Ambulance : vVestonsuper-Mare Gas Co. and Nursing: vVeston-super-l\Iare. My sincere thanks I give to Lady County Officer, l\Irs . L. Lovill, for presenting to the County a very handsome and valuable Challenge Cup, "The Lewis Lovill Memorial Cup," for Competition between Ambulance Teams, The first County meeting of Officers was held at "Veston-super-Mare on June 7th, It was attended by 25 representatives of Ambulance and Nursing Divisions. Many important County matters were considered, including, Areas to be covered in emergency cases by Ambulances, next Competition, date, place, etc, First Aid Posts, Dates, for Inspections, Re-examinations. Flag Days. Centenary Celebrations, etc. It was decided to hold Officers' Conference Yearly. Twelve Motor Ambulances are now being u sed by Divisions in the County, and during the year 2,177 cases were removed, including 259 urgent calls to Road accidents. . The voluntary work carried on in this County by members of the Brigade is appreciated by the Police and Urban District Councils, and I am pleased to report

:'L\JOR-GENERAL SIR JOHN DUNCAN, K.C.B., C.;\I.G., c.v.o., D.S.O., CHIEF OMIIlISSIONER, ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE. SlR, I beg to submit herewith a report of the Brigade activities for the County of ::-\orthampt.on for the year 1931, as desired . In t.he ordinary course of event, this duty would have dev~lved on the l~te omm!. sioner \\'. J Iarvey H.ee\"e , O.B.E., D.L., J.P., but for hIS decease WhICh occurred 011 January 13th, 193:2. . The death of the late Commissioner has been a severe blow not only to hIs personal fnends but. to every member of the Brigade, and is a loss most difficult to replace. The larue amount '0£ work he accomplished, coupled with his tact and charming pcr-onaltty, \\ III long be remembered not only. in thi~ Coun~y but throughout ~he \\ hole of the ?\o. 3 Dist.rict, and the homage paId to hIm at hIS funeral was a fittlllg t.ribute to a life spent very largely in alleviating human suffering. Th Bngade \\ork throughout the year has been progressive, and the strength, and ot.h r detaIls, are as follow" viz. : -

Public Dullcs. -The main Diyi ions at Xorthampton, Kettering, \Vellingborough and Peterborough haye each undertaken important public duties at local functions, \\hilst most of the other Divisions have also rendered similar services for the public benefit. \\ here necessary co-operat.ion has been established with the Police and publH': aut.honiles to nsure tbe fuIle t ad\"antage being obtained from the services gi\ en, and complete harmony has pre\"ailed in the working arrangements. In spcctlOlI '. All Divisions have b en inspected ~uring the year with .the ex~ep tion of t.he new Diyision at Daventry formed late III the year. These lllspectlOns \\ ere mostlv arried out by the late Commissioner, as isted by Lady District Superintendent l\Irs. \\' . }-larvey H.eeve , A.R.R.C., in the case of Nursing Divisions . It \\ as also my pleasurable duty as County Surgeon to assist at some of these insp ctlO J1 S. Fzrst Aid WOlk.-This service has been well requisitioned by the public and fully mallltained by all the Divisions. An exceptionally large number of cases have been treated, and I am convinced from my own obsen"ation, and the assurance giyen to me by members of the taff, that the First Aid and ursing work has been thoroughly and gratefully appreciated by those who have been treated, and those concerned in their recovery. Tyansport.-The existing service has been maintained, and arrangeme~ts have been made for more complete facilities on the Great North Road. It IS hoped during 193:2 to increase the facilities on the 'Yatling Street, and in the southern part of the County.

REPORT OF THE ACTI TG COilI::vIISSIONER. ALLESLEY HALL, COVE TR Y. April, 1932. To THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER, ST. JOH N AMBULANCE BRIGADE. SIR, I have the honour to r eport upon the state of No.3 (W.) District, comprising the Counties of Warwickshire, Worcestershire and S. Staffordshire. The total personnel (excluding the District Staff): Officers, N.C.O.'s, Men and Nurses, 1,658; being an increase of 155 over the year 1930. The strength is composed as follows :-Ambulance Divisions: Officers, 144; .C.O.'s and Men, 1,229 = 1373 . ... ursing Divisions: Officers, 44; Ambulance Sisters, 242 = 285. Cadets, 300-an increase of 58. Total number of cases treated during the year, 19,188. New Divisions have been fo rmed at West Bromwich and Wednesbury . Inspections were duly carried out by yourself as a first inspection of Worcestershire Units at Halesowen in July; Com. Harvey Reeves, of Warwickshire, in May; and S. Staffordshire by myself in September at Wednesbury.

DISTRICT

We sent our full complement of Officers and men to the Parade in Hyde Park in Jun e. Many social functions were held throughout the year in various centres of the District, which certainly tend to keep up the esprit de corps and should be encouraged in every way. In \ Varwickshire "ve have always, once a year, a meeting of Officers, men and women. This is usually held in the autumn and an Officers' dinner in the spring. During the past year we had many and frequent meetings from October, 1930, onwards, as we "'""ere requested to carry out all Ambulance arrangements for the Royal Agricultural Show at ·W arwick in July; in the spring and early summer months the meetings for arrangements became more frequent. \\'e established in \ \'arwick Park a small Camp with a nucleus of about 6 Officers and men, and a temporary kitchen. The latter supplied over 900 meals to the volunte rs- men and nurse who came from all over the county to help in the work. y\' e had over 400 cases to deal with, and at times our small Hospital Pavilion of fi\"e beds was quite full. \Ve were cordially thanked by the Committe of :\Ianagement for the succe s of our effort, and I think all the arrangements proved adequate. I have again to express my appreciation and thanks for the loyal support afforded me by all fhcers and other ranks.

HlEl'

SIR, I beg to submit my report for the year 1931 for the County of Birmingham. The strength of the Brigade at the end of the year was as follows : -

9 6

Ambulance Divisions Kursing Divisions

282 Total

1,26

These figures show an increase both in men and women over the pre\"ious year. The Centenary Celebrations were attended by a detachment from this County under the command of Corps Superintendent Ballard and the 'Vomen's Corps was also represented by Ambulance isters under the Command of Lady Corps Superintendent Mrs . Oliver Lee . The Birmingham Band also attended and had the honour of playing during the Inspection in Hyde Park by H.R.H. Prince Arthur of Connaught, on behalf of H.RH. The Prince of Wales. Later in the year the event was celebrated locally by an Officers' Dinner, at which you, Sir, with our President, Sir harles Hyde, were our honoured guests. Other visitors included The Lord Mayor, Bishop Hamilton Baynes, Major-General ir Percival ' Vilkinson, Commissioner Harvey Reeves and many others, including representatives of the City Police and the Fire Brigade. Our Band also attended and played during the dinner. Another outstanding event has been the settlem ent by the Charity Commissioners of the appeal of the Birmingham Corps against the award of the Trustees of the elson Memorial Fund, who wished to divide the proceeds of the Sale equally between the St. John and the B.R.C.S. The Commissioners awarded us threefifths and the B.R.C.S. two-fifths, thu s justifying our appeal.

THE

\\'ith the con ent of the Order we ha\'c purchased from the Birmingham Gcncral Dispensary a long lease of a piece of land in the centre of the ity, and when the conveyance is anctioned by the harity ommissioners we hopc to erect thereon premise worthy of the Order in Birmingham, for the u e of the 1\ s.ociation and Brigade. The dutie continue to be ably and willingly performed by all ranks, and the continued demand for our servicc i sufficient evidence of the need for our work. Flag Day was again held in June and the generous response of thc public, notwithstanding the financial stres in the city, was very encouragJl1g to our efforts. Church Parade was held in the Parish Church of St. l\lartJl1, \\ hen about +on of our m embers attended. The collection \\'a ent to the Ophthalmic lIospital of the Order in J eru alem. The Annual Inspection was taken by Colonel G. A. illoore, the As istant 'hLef Com missioner , whose rcport you will have received. In it is included a recommendatio~ that .the l\Ien's Corps should be divided. 0 far this ha not b en possibl OWJl1g to Jl1adequate Headquarters, but the matter has not been lost sight of. In conclusion I should like to expres my thank to all rank for loyal support and good work durin o a difficult year. . have the honour to be, SIr, Your obedlcnt senanl, J. .

Chief Constables of the Cities of Liverpool, Manchester, and Salford, who have taken a very keen interest in the first aid instruction of the Porces under their command. Like remarks apply to many Chief Constables of Borough Police Forces. Considerable monetary assistance has been given to "The District" by the Lancashire Constabulary. I ha"e frequently been personally thanked by the Chief Constables concerned for the assislance given by the Officers and members of the Brigade, for what they have done in conc1ucting Police H.efresher Courses. In connection with this work the 10lal I Icadquarters of the St. john Units all over the District are thrown open for t.he use of the Police. Co-operation with the Lifeboat Services all round the coast continues and there arc sev ral Ulllts who turn out \\ith the Municipal Fire Brigades. The mIleage under Brigade Road Patrol, ervice has been wonderfully increased. For some years past I have, together \\lith :'IIr. Fowler Jon es, inspected the ambulance arrangements at the numerous works of the Bleachers' Association, and reported on the-;e vi 'its t.o the Directors . I may here say that a substantial subscription is yearly given to the District Fund by the Bleacher' Association for this sen·ice. Increased public duty has been more and more in evidence at football matches, speedways, dog-racing tracks, school and 'Vhitsuntid e processions, theatres, and ctnemas, In fact, whereyer crowds as emble, there you will find the members of the Brigade, both men, women and cadet . .'·'tlcJlglh.- Th numencal strength of the District has been well maintained, anc1 t.he all-round efficiency is satIsfact.ory. I have to record a total increase of all ranks numbering 522. This augmentation is all the more wonderful and creditable in "i '\\' of the fact that the Counties comprising No.4 District have ufferccl se"erely' through trade depres. ion. There is evidence that the spirit of enthusIasm and determination to press forward has never languished, and this is clearly brought to Ij"ht when I record that during the years 1925-1931 the increases ha"e been continuous and denot.e the great progress made by the Brigade. The following table of yearly increases is interesting, demonstrating that in the seyen years under rc"ie\\ the total lllcrease in the District was no less than 4,55+, an a,'erage yearly increase of 650.

SIR,

I haye now the honour to present for your acceptance, and I ~rust approval, my report as Commissioner, ::"ro. + District, St. John Ambulance Bngade, for th year 1931.

IntermIxed wlth my sadness is considerable pleasure and satisfaction, firstly, on ac ount of ~he fact that I have had the opportunity of watching the St. John mbulance ~ngade which is now a National Organization- from its birth to the present time. r 0 man could have had such an honour conferred upon him without recognizing its importance and value. To the determination, loyalty and great unselfishness oJ all ranks of the Brigade I bow with uncovered head. General . -Through the generosity and thoughtfulness of Assista~t Comm!ssioner W. Maxwell Reekie, O.B.E., J .P., the Brigade has been presented wlth a Reglmental March Tune which bears its own name, and it is interesting to note that the parade celebrating the Centenary of the Order held in Hyde Park on June 27th marche.d past to this tune. . .

Guides, Church Lad' Brigade, etc., etc., financial difficulty is produced by big boys growing out of their uniforms before they are at an age that enables them to join the adult Divi ' ion. However, there is a strong determination throughout the area to keep the existing Cadet Units together and to recruit new ones. As a matter of fact there is an increase shown in the number o[ Ambulance and Nursing Cadets for the year 1931.

"W ith a total strength of 11,113 of all ranks there is no need t.o fl!ar for the prosperity and success of the St. John Ambulance Brigade in ~o. -+ Distnct. Our optimism is justified. As in preceding years all Units have furnished their Annual Returns. The great majority of these Forms were promptly rendered . I l1a\"e for years struggled to be able to have in the District Office the entire returns by the end of the first week in January, but year after year I have been badly 'I t down by certain Divisions throu gh their carelessness and slackness in not senc.hng in lheir returns at the proper time. This is a bad failing, and there is no necessity [or it. As a parting word of advice I would like to say that when a request is made by the Senior Officer of the District it should be looked upon as sacred, and carried out promptly and well. eglect to do so entails extra "w ork at the District Office and is indicative of bad discipline. I have endeavoured to extend the formation of Units in areas not already cover ed by the Brigade, and from time to time, in Distri ct Orders, attention has been'drawn to this matter. There are yet considerable portions of Lancashire where the population is dense awaiting Brigade occupation. This will be a matter for future attention. The acceptance of my resignation, which took effect from J anuary ] st, 193 2, brought about the re-organization of the District. This embraces th establishing of County Control in Cheshire, and "W estmorland and Cumberland (one County) with Lancashire as a District, und er the name TO. 4 (Lancashire) District. These alterations carried with them the Senior Appointments of :Assistant Commissioner W . G. Smith, O.B.E ., as Commissioner No 4 (Lancashire) District. Assistant Commissioner W . B. Cockill, T.D., M.D., as County Commissioner, Westmorland and Cumberland. District Officer "\V. Chaloner, O.B.E., T.D., ] . P ., as County Commissioner, Cheshire,

The splitting up of the old o . -+ District into component parts entailed a great cleal of really anxious work, but the t ask was m ade co mparative ly easy by the strenUOll S a nd continuous efforts nf 1\1r. Cleal, the n ewly appointed District Secretary, ancl no\\', as 1 \\rite this report, I look upon TO. -+ District, divided as it is, with great hopefu lness. I feel that with the new rcgime there is ample opportunity for expansive work, and under the new organization, coupled with increased District Staffs, there can be no doubt that progress, produced by enthusiasm, will reign in all localities. Centena))' of Ihe Ordel'.-Ondoubtec1ly the most important function during the year 193] \\ a'i the holding of t.he entenary of the Order of St. J ohn. Occupying a whole week extending from June 22nd to 27th, it naturally excited enormous mterest. in all ranks of the Brigade; e\'erybody looked forward to participating in the many mterestll1g evcnts. The Brigad<' members arc very proud of the Venerable Order to which they belong, dnd t.he reco rding of a hundred years of the re-establishing of the Order In England and the celebrallllg of the Centenary of the Order with all its history and great. \\ork was greally ant.icipated. Tho e members of the Brigade who had been select.ed for appuint.ment t.o variou. Grades of the Order were commanded to appear at. Bu cki ngham Palace to he decorated by His :\lajesty the King, the .'overelgn l1ead of the Order, at. an Investiture held at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, J unc 2-4-t.h. Olher mcmbers, both men and women, were associated with the SenlCc held at \\'e'itminsier Abbey, and on Saturday, June 27th, over 7 ,000 member.., of t.he Brigade paraded for Inspection by IIis Royal Highness Prince Art.hur of Connaught at. llyde Parle No.4 District contributed the full quota for this Parade . The select.ing and getting of the Detachment from No.4 District (nearly 500 strong) entailed much work , and, further, the fixing of travelling arrangements and commissariat added conSIderably t.o thi . Assistant Commissioner C. H. Fowler J ones commanded the men, and the women were in charge of Lady District upenntendent :'-lr. Tweedale .'0 -4- Di trict made no mean show on this occasion. Road Patrols - The e\ er-increaslllg u e of the roads by motor vehicles ha necessitated the Bngadc H.oad Patrol Sy tem being increased and extended in every directIon, and I am glacl to be in a position to report on a really valuable work carried out by cert.alll Cmb under my command. 1 have before me a very comprchensi"e reporl g i\'ing the number of miles patrolled; the number of members on duty, both Officers, men, women, and cadets; the number of days on whIch duty has been carried out; and the number of cases treated, t.ogether with particulars of huts and other accommodation provided. only give the totals, as the publIcation of the table would be too lengthy.

There are available ten substantially built huts, three tents and eight aid posts .

I am anxious to draw atte ntion to the fact that there have been recorded and entered on the Brigade Returns no less than -+2,665 accidents, all of which received first-aid attention at the hands of Brigade m embers during the year 1931, an increase of nearly 3,000 on the prev iou s year.

Surgeon and Corps Superintendent, took charge of the arrangemcnts, as istecl by Corps Secretary VV. E. aylor. 11 the cnior Officer paraded, and an idcc\ of the extent of the 'work will be understood when I say that on Whit :\Tonday 21 Officer, 20+ other ranks, and 1 Cadets were posted at 1 !:itahons; 2-17 cases were treated, eight of which had to be removed to either home or hospital. The cra\\ c1s " 'ere extremely dense and at times caused some difficulties in the carrying ont of the first-aid treatment. On 'Whit Friday there were 2+ Officers, 220 other rank , and 12 Cadets postcd at 31 stations; 475 cases were treated, five requiring remoyal to home or hospital The whole duty is creditable to all concerned. A special comprchcnsn e report of this duty was furnished to Headquarters. On l\Iay 31st Corps Superintendent Lomax, Bolton Corp, reports that 112 men and 52 Ambulance sisters took duty on the occasion of the 'chool Processions at Bolton. Sixteen Ambulance stations \v ere fully equippcd and operated. These " 'ere established in convenient po itions along the route taken by thc proCCSIIJI1 . A total number of 263 cases receiyed first-aid treatment. Therc wcre many caes of collapse and minor injurie . Three were of a serious nalure and werc comey-cd to the Bolton Infirmary . The Chief Constable of Bolton wrote to Corps. upcnnlcndel1t Lomax ('xprL's ing his appreciation of the very excellent work performed.

R oute JJarches.-Several route marche have bccn earned out, and, as In prcyious years, first-aid schemes haye been introduced and supposcd accldents and injuries haye been treated, thus giving the men an increascd interest far beyond the ordinary route march . These exercises were ,yell carried out and the firt-aid work reached a high standard of efficiency. I look very favourably upon these marches and I have always been pleased to sanction them. Church Parades.-These grow in popularity each year. Apart from their religious and sacred character, these parades are highly valuable and important. many of them are exceptionally imposing and, if one might say it, their value in brin~ing the Brigade to the notice of the public is \"cry con idcrable, and thcse religiolls services are highly appreciated by all concerned. Combined Parades.-The following combin ed Inspections \\'ere held : South-East Lancashi1'e R evtew.-On Jun e 5th, Colonel G. A.Moore, C.:.r.G., D.S .O., the Assistant Chief Commissioner, conducted at Denton the In pedion of the Cl1lts known as the South-east Lancashire Corps and Divisions. In a Di tnct Order issued by me on June 21st, Colonell\Ioore's report is given and a copy was funn hed to Headquarters . The parade was und er the command of .\ sslstant CommisslOner \V. S. vVoodcock, M.B.E., who had acting under him A sistant Commlssloncr \\' . G. Smith, O.B.E., and District Officer \Y . :'IIaxwell Reekie, O.B .E., ].1' Lady District Superintendent Mrs. Tweedale, A.R.R.C., ] .P., and a Committee are entirely responsible for getting together this parade, and it is to be noted that this year the parade was over 2,000 strong. The District Staff, and other local influ ential residents at Denton, were generously entertained by the Chairman of the Urban District Council at Denton. Colonel Moore expressed his entire satisfaction with everything that he had seen. Cheshire Corps and Divisions.-Colonel Ellis, C.;\I.G., T.D., M.D., C. M., inspected the Cheshire Corps and Divisions at Macclesfield on June 13th. Assistant Commissioner C. H . Fowler Jones was in command of the parade, and he had with him District Officers Reekie, Chaloner and Wyse. The Parade State showed 9 Surgeons, 93 Officers, 535 other ranks, and 90 Cadets, a total of 727 of all ranks. This, it will be noted, is the strongest parade ever furnished by these combined Units. The report issued by Colonel Ellis (of which a copy was sent to Headquarters, London) was, as usual, critical, instructi"e, and encouraging. South-West Lancashire R eview.-On September 12th, as Commissioner IIO.4 District, I carried out the Inspection of the South-west Lancashire Corps and Divisions at Wigan . I duly furnished a report to H eadquarters . Three hundred and fiftynine of all ranks paraded, and were under the command of Assistant Commissioner W. G. Smith, O.B.E. I was thoroughly satisfied with everything I saw and thus I reported. I have before stated that I regard combined inpections as being very useful.

but the carryin g out of these large parades should not be overdone. It is very n ecessary that, from time to tim e, each Unit should be thoroughly examined at its own LI eadquarters; this gives an opportunity of goi ng into detail with greater care and thoroughness. 1 am glad to say that many nits apply to have their inspections dealt with at their own 1 [cac1quarters, and often this is in addition to attending a combined parade.

Comforts Depots. I ha\e for many years set forth the necessity and usefulness of orgal1lzln~ Comforts Depob, and 1 haye more than one in tance before my mind "here the establishing of these Depots has proved of the greatest possible value to the Units orgal1lzing thcm Prior to their establishment the work of the ~ursing Di, ISlons concerned dragg d and by no means attracted public notice. Immediately the Depots got working' theIr ini1uence and usefulness transformed the flagging nIts II1lo on(.'s of great actn Ity. There is no concealing the value of Comfort Dcpots. .

In concluding thi ', my last report , it needs no words of minc to impre?s upon all ranks of thc Brigade the neces ity of carrymg on the 11 umanc and natlOoal \\ ork they arc engaged in with increa ed enthusiasm, if tl~i be possIble. , It is always to be remembered that they are ser\lng the rder of ~t.

I warmly thank our lIon . Presidents [or theIr most valuable help in maintaining the happy" relationship which continues with City and Town Councils, Urban and Rural District Councils, and City and County Police throu ghout the District. Thcre is an e\ er increasing demand for the services of the members where large crowds congregate, such as speedway meetings, summer outings, race meetings, football matches, theatres, picture houses, etc., etc. The \vork done at collieries and in factories is most satisfactory. XuYsiJlg Dil 'ISlOllS. I am greatly indebted to Lady District Superintendent :\lrs, Birkbeck for her work. I attach her report. In conclUSIon I would like to explode the fallacy that our people are paid for their service---. Some people are sti ll under the impression that our men and women are paid ror their services. They are not paid and they never have been. The self-saCrificing \\ork and the ent.hu siasm displayed by a ll r anks deserves un lintecl praise, and I am proud or my command.

It is regretted that the disbandment of three Ambulance and four Xursing Divisions has to be recorded: in each case there is no immcchate prospect 01 the Unit being re-organized; the e are as follo\\s : -

The Centenary Celebrations ha\'e undoubtedly inspirecl a deeper interest in the ,york of the Brigade through the influence of those representati\cs who \\ere privileged to take part. A contingent of 2 '9 Officers and othcr ranks of AmbulaJ~ce Divisions and 6 Officers and member~ of Xursing Dlvisions took part 1n the Royal Review in Hyde Park on June 27th. The party was com-eyed by special train from Newcastle-on-Tyne at 6.30 a.m , bell1g joined later by partles repre entll1g :North and East Yorkshire, thus completing the total contingent from '0 \ '1 District. The return journey was accomplished by 6.30 a m on Sunuay, eXLept for those representatives from outlying 'Cnits in the Counties, for some of \\hom the "isit involved a break of about thirty hours. .\11 Officers and otll r ranks were, by special Policy, insured against accident. To mark the Celebration locally, a Drumhead Service was held 011 Sunday, June 21st, at which some 1,700 members of Ambulance and XursLDg DlvIsions were on Parade.

The Coroner Graham Ambulance Challenge Shield Competition, open to Teams of industrial workers within the County of Durham, produced an entry of 32 teams . The Trophy was won by the Dorothea Colliery" B " Team, the runners-up being Brandon Colliery and Crookhall Colliery Teams, who tied for the J. orth Mail Shield. J feel that reference should here be made to the passing of the late Major Hammcrsley Johnston, O.B.E. (Knight of Grace of the Order), who was cting Commissioner of TO. VI. District up to June, 1930, afterwards becoming County Commissioner for East Yorkshire. Major Johnston was an Officer who was highly esteemed for the very valuable serviccs he r endered to the Brigade over a long period of ycars, and for his unfailing tact and courtesy on all occasions. I deslre to record my sincere thanks to all County Officers, Corps and Divisional Officers, and other ranks who have willingly co-operated in advancing the services of the Brigade during the past year.

April '23rd, 1932. THE CHIEF CO:\Il\IISSIO~ER, ST. ]OH~ A::IIBCLA ,'CE BRIGADE.

SIR,

I ha...-e the honour to submit my second annual report , being that lor the year 1931. I regret to chronicle that the total personnel of the Di trict a,~ain ~ho\\:s a slight decline, as compared with the previous year, ...-iz, , 5. The reductlOn IS on the nursing side, for the men show a notable increase. The numbers are:Officers and :.\Ien Lady Officers and Girl Cadets

mbulance Sister

231 12+ 26 3 1

The loss of strength is chiefly due to the disbandment of the Broselcy 'ursin" Division and Cadets, and the 'Warfield Xur'ing Di"ision, The former :uffered a double blow when Dr. and :'\Irs. Fox-Edwards (their Surgeon and LadySuperintendent respectively) left the district. 1\.S regards Worfield, thiS is a small, isolated village, and I was informed that it had become increasingly diffIcult laUerly to sustain interest and replace wastage in membership . On the other hand, it is most encouraging to report that three new men's division were registered during the year, viz., Ludlow, Ross-on-\\ ye, and \\'ellington (Salop), all ...-ery keen, and with prospects of a steadily increasll1g membership, lhanks to efficient Association classes. Hereford, too, since its resuscitation, has come on very strongly. There is room and need in IIerefordshire for more di\'lSlOnS, and I look forward to the day when it will merit its own county organization. Our thoughts during the year were naturally centered upon the entenary of the re-establishment of the Order in the British Realm, and the celebrations connected therewith. Unfortunately \ye were not able to send our full quota to the Hyde Park Review. The question of finance loomed largely, {or while we are what may justly be described as the " Cinderella" among the districts, we nevertheless suffer from a scarcity of fairy godmothers! Those of us, however, who wer e able t o attend the Review, will never .forget the magnificent spectacle, and t he h eartenin g feeling it engendered of being members of a great Empire-wide organizat ion . It has, I know, been a source of encouragement to our scattered division s.

DISTRICT

]63

EquaJly inspiring to the favoured few of us who were privileged to attend, were the ot her functions, and particularly the special investiture by His :.\Iajesty the Eing. Chiefly for the bencfit of those who were unable to journf'Y to London, I organized a special entenary hurch Parade and entice in _ hrewsbury on the Sunday following St. ] o11n the Baptist's Day. This was the first church parade e\'er held for the \\ hole District, and was extremely successful, all the divisions being well represented, and the parade mustering nearly '200. Se\'eral members of the Order were present, inclucling Sir Charles Yate, Knight of Justice, aptain Egerton Hine, ,vho servecl a~ Quartermaster in the St. ] ohn IIospital in France, throughout the \Var, and Dr. Bulman, of llereford. The order of service was almost identical with that follo\\ eel in \ \' stminster Abbey. I much regret to ha\e to record the death of :\Iiss Horny, the popular Lady Supenntenclent of Shrewsbury 1\0. 2 ~ ursing Division. Through a long and trying illness, her thoughb \\ ere ahyays with the Brigade, and for the welfare of her dl\ IslOn . . \s regards the work of the diVisions, a total of 5+9 cases attended is recorded, but I hay personal knowledge that this figure by no means represents the whole.

I cannot, 110\\ eyer, pass over lightly those cases of ab~enteeism \\'ithout any attempt at apology or excuse, for ample notice is always gi,'en. I could \\'ish also that :,;om~ of the Divisional urgeons \\"ere more regular in their attendance at drills and the annual inspection.

The District Shield and the "Perks" Cup were both won by Shrewsbury o. 1 ~ursing (Mrs. ' Yilliam 'team). The ~erks Cup is reserved for tyros, or teams no member of which has previously been 111 a winning team, and the successful team is therefore greatly to be congratulated on. winning the District Shield as well, and thereby qualifying to take part in the Bngade finals.

THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER, ST. JOHN A:'-IBULA CE BRIGADE.

ir, I have the honou r to submit my third annual report as Commissioner of 1\0. 8 (Duke of Connaught's) District. During the year ended December 31st, 1931, 400 new members were enrolled and 355 resigned or were automatically removed from the Roll of the Brigade for being non-efficient. The net increase is therefore 45. The depression in trade, re-organizat.ion of large ' Yorks, and ot.her economic causes, account for the reslg-nat.ion and inefficiency of those who ha\'e left the Brigade during 1931. I am cOlwinced, however, that this is simply a passing phase, and that with greater stability in indu t.ry, etc., the considerable increase in personnel which has manif sted itself in my district during each of the past three years \\rill again become a matter for our mutual satisfactiOn. ~ ew Divisions wcre registered as under : A mUl/lance DlvlslOns.-Betteshanger Colliery, Horley, Lancing and Sompting, and Brighton Special Constabulary.

:\ly thanks are due to the Misses Reynolds of Herne Bay for presenting a cup to be awarded for Annual ompetition amongst Girl Cadets in the County of Kent. 1 desire to place on record my grateful thanks to the District Surgeon, Dr. A. B . :'IIc:i\Iastcr, for thc great amount of time given in the preparation of the tests, and for the exccllent organization of the" :\Iedical " side of these competitions; to the Judges, Lady Di tnct uperintendent, members of the District Staff, and Officers of orps and Divi ion . for their ,'aluable services in the organization of the" lay" side of these competitions. InspectlOlls . \11 D1Ylions were llldividually inspected by myself, Assistant Commi . ioners :\Iajor );'oble and Capt. Chill, Lady District Superintendent :\!lrs.

The neatness and correctness of the records reJlectc; much credit on those responsible for their compilation and preparatIOn. FZ}l{lIIcC ~ rt is grattfying to be ablc to report that the finances of Corps and DI\'l<.;lOns ,lrc III a healthy . tate. The ent.husiasm and seif-denial of all ranks in the raisinO' of funds to carr v on the. \\'o~k of th . Brigade are worthy of all prai e, and I am grateful to them for theIr efforts. '1 he public, now recognizing the value of a unit of the Division in it, midst. arc becomlllg more liberal in their response to appeals made from time to hme. C.OllclIlSIO}I.~:'ly units continue to work in the closest co-operation with the P.ohcc and Clnl .\ut.horities, and the whole district is deeply appreciative of the klOd and sympathctic help at all times received from them. It would be invichous for me to select names for special mention in connection '\'lth thc wonderful record of service performed to the community in Kent, Surrey, and uss('x eluring the year under review, as aU ranks have contributed to this success and progrcss by their loyalty, determination, and energy to do as much as possible on all occa ions. I feel that the amount of work carried out has only bee.n mad pOSSible by the inspiration of membership of the Brigade, and the real satisfaction gained by being able to help a fellow-creature in distress. To all ranks in the District I desire to express my grateful thanks for their loyalty, and for the ever ready assistance given to me on aU occasions.

There are 15 Ambulance Divisions in th e County with a strength of 425 officers and m en; 7 Nursing Divisions with a strength of 97; 9 Ambulance Cadet, and 1 Nursing Cadet Divisions. One new division is in process of formation. I wish to express the regret of the County Ambulance and Nursing Divisions at the resignation of 1\1r. Edgar Trounson from the appointment of County Commissioner, owing to pressure of business. H e had held the appointment since 1925 . H 11

A~IBULAKCE

V,re all appreciate greatly the work he has done for the Brigade. We also received ·wit.h regret the resignation of County Officer E. E. IIattam afler many years service for the Brigade. In order t.o improve the working of the Brigade the County has been divided into three areas with a County Officer in each-Dr. Symons being appointed Cou~ty Officer for the ,Vest in place of 1\1r. Battam resigned, 1\1r. S. 1\1. Landey taklllg the East, and Act.ing Count.y Commissioner Johnst.on the :l\Iid _ rea . First Aid.-This was rendered on 14,382 cases, a great increa e over past years, and shmvs what a vast amount of work is being done for the Sick and injured. T1'ansport.-The cases transported by l\Iot.or Ambulances tot.al 1669, the mlleage being 21,6-1-0 miles. All the l\Iotor Ambulances, with the exception of J. e\"quay, are under Brigade control, and are gi\'ing satisfactory service. Road Casualties.-One hundred and fifty-three road aCClclcnb \\'ere treat.ed, and the Motor Ambulances coyered 1,258 rmles in connection \\ It.h them. The number of Roadside Aid Posts is +2. I wish t.o t.hank those \\ho have allowed the use of buildings for these posts. In addition there are 3 roadside ;\ icl Boxes. Public Dlftzes.-All important shows, athletlc gathenngs and foot.ball mat.ches were attended and much good 'work done. easide tent duty bas also been successful. Cornpetitions.- TO. 9 District Competition were entered for by \ anous teams, Cornwall unfortunately being not. successful. illany Inter-county Competitions were held and fairly well supported. Nursing Divisions.-Under the capable leadership of Lady ount.y Unicer Deane they have played their part. They attended :2 + First AId cases during the year and assisted in various hospitals on 112 occasions. Cadets.-They fully justify their existence, as they arc pro\'itling th e Di\lSlOnS with some of their best recruits, besides being a useful and helpful training (or boys and girls. VA. Detach'ments.-I cannot report any recruiting headway amongst. _\.mbulance Diyisions. In conclusion, I must thank the doctors and nurses of the ounty for what they are doing to further the work of the Association and Bngacle by giving so much voluntary time to aid the instruction of the people in First Aid and by helping in the training of Divisions. It is impossible to express the appreciation due to tbe Onicers and members of the Brigade for these services. I thank them for their loyal support. 1 would like especially to thank the motor ambulance drivers who so willingly give t.helr time and services. have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient sen'ant, VVILLlAM BLACK\<\OOD, County Commissioner Officer of the Order of S1.. j oho.

Exeter Cit\' j>oliCl. The most notable addition to the strength during the year was that of -the ity of Exet.er Police Force. 'Vith the coming of their new Chief COllst.ablc, 1\lr. F. Tarry a First .\ld enthusiast-the Force under Superintendent C. J. Edwards became a ,t. John _\.mbulance Division. The report on the first Annual Inspect.ion of t.his large and highly efficient unit made me \'ery proud. Their fourteen Police Boxes are equippecl with Ambulance material. Order of St. Jolin Centcncu \'.-Tlle County was well represented at the Centenary CekbratlOns at. London dunnJ June, and two of the County Officers were given import.ant St.aiI dut.ies. The opportunities for fellowship wit.h comrades both from Borne and Overseas Divisions have been an abiding inspiration to many. RecognltlOlI. .\.mongst those in the Order's Centenary Honours List were Lady josephine llumphreys, the devoted President of the Plymouth Central Xursing Divi:;lon, and l\Ir. Harold l\Iichl'lmore (Corps President, Xewton bbot), whose unostentatiolls 'cl1erC>sity so greatly enCOl1rages mid-Devon workers. Two splendid \'eterans in sen ice \\ere also in\'estecl at. 13uckmgham Palace-Superintendent (, A Bilton (Telgnmouth) and _\mhul ance Officer S. J. Shapley (Xewton Abbot). Fil pire 1V1IlIll'lS.- Tt is also plea:;ing to record that the fust team in the Empire's \mbulance ompetition held during Centenary \\reek \ 'as composed of Members of the Harnstaplc Vi\'ision of the Brigade alt.hough they competed in their Railway capacity. T/.e Lady Charles XeJllled)'.-~ursing \\'ork in Barnstaple, in fact the whole County, sufi'LTl'J Sl'vere loss by the death of the Lady Charles Kennedy. Although she gave liberally to help t.he funds of both Adult and Cadet Divisions, and was the holder of many decorations and medals testifying to her distinguished ,Var Nur<;in~ Record, yet, at her own request, she sen'ed as an Ambulance Sister in the Barnstaple Division. Public Dllties.-Amongst the most noteworthy of the many thousands of public dut.ies undert.aken during the year "ere those in connechon with the visits of ll.R.II. The Prince of \Vales and of Prince George. The Speedways at Exeter and Plymouth, the large football grounds at Exeter, Plymouth and Torquay, and the crowded Regattas at the leading coast towns were also staffed. Ambula'T1Ce Sl'Jl'lces.-The County continues to remain at the top of the Home Service Ambulance Tational List as ha\ ing the highest number of cases transported. The total from the inception of the B . . A.C. to the end of 1931 for all cars in Devon amounted to 205,132 cases of accident, illness or crippled passengers. Excellent new Ambulances have been acquired at Exeter, Tavistock, Bideford and Torpoint, whilst the enlarged tonehouse Station and the new Station at Tavistock have added considerably to the effectiveness of responses and comfort of personnel. Road Patrols and Aid Posts.-The opening last summer of the modern Roadside Post on Dart.moor, constructed by members of the l\Iutley Division, has more than ~o~al significance in view of the widespread growth of Ambulance road patrols; for It is claimed that t.he particular stret.ch of highway served from this Hut is the first ever regularly to be patrolled by Ambulance men.

Apart from se\'eral ranges of road pat!ol there is a p~rticularly valuable 13e~ch Hut (or Tent) systcm operating at most 01 the Devon seas1cle resorts.

In th e course of a report before mc on thc fire-ambulance \\'ork 111 one large centr' of population appears the following significant sentence: " )11 the alarm last autumn that the City Hospital was on fire . . . four motor amblllnnces went to Greenbank and a fifth with se,'eral men "as standing by at thc Central .A mbulance Station awaiting a call." Blood Trall sfltsion Service.-Certain members of the Torqun .

Tuysing Activities.-Undcr the efiecti,'c gUldance of Lady ounty OrJiccr ;\frs.

THE

IE LANCE

The Barnstaple Cadet Ambulance Division suffercd a great loss by the transfer to Hor ham of Cadet Superintendent P. Trott, \\ho is better known in wider ircles as a famous Competition Team Leader (Empire and Railway Contests). Amongst the successful Cadet Camps were those at Dawlish, Exmout.h, ancI Craftholc. A very helpful feature of the De\'on ur ing Cadet Organization is a monthly letter to the Girls prepared by the Lady County Officer. This letter has not only been a link between yarious Divisions but has stimulated interest. in the history and traditions of our Order and in Yarious bencficent actiyities for the poor and sick. Thanks.-The system of rca Staff Officers has been emlllenUy sllccess[ul and helpful, and I cannot too highly eulogize the work of the Count.) Staff Officers. Their tactful and effecti\-e administration, their journcying for Inspections and to address l\Ieetings or co.ndu t examinations for promotion, have placed me undcr a great debt of gratitude to them. Appreciation is also due to the Committ.ees of t.he St. ] olm Ambulance \ ssoc.iation ,,-ho in many towns are arranging recruits' classcs for the Certificates, raismg funds, providing Ambulances and or Headquarters, and in numerous directions should nng the burdens which nen' r should be borne entirely by the men and "omen who also ha\-e so assiduously to devote their time and attcntion to actual .\mbulance and T ursing work. In conclusion, I express my sinccre thanks and admiration of the zeal and efficiency, not confined to anyone area, of the Officers, 1 C O.'s anel Memb rs I am priyiieged to command. 'This large ounty owes them a grealer debt than is realized, except by the few.

SIR, I have the Thon.our t~ ~u?mit my report for t.he year ending Deccmber 31st, 1931. One new 1\ursmg DIVISIOn at Portland has been registered. The Annual County Inspection was held by invitation of the Officers and Members of the Divisions at Portland on September 20th, 1931. There ,:ere nearly 250 on parade at the Easton Hecreation Ground, with a 1,000 or more mterested people watching the Inspection. It 'w as a brilliant success and being the first held at Portland, the smart appearance of the uniforms and th~ most excellent manner in which the members marched past the saluting base in Co~pany column headed by the Band of the 180th Battery R.A. (T.) were vcry notIceable. The P~esident of the local Divisions, H. ] . Sansom, Esq., spoke some really encourag1l1g words to Members before they dismissed. T~~ most usef.ul Drill Hall recently erected and handed ov I' to the Portland DIvlsIOns for theIr Headquarters by the Stone Companies was ihrown open for the visitors' inspection. G~eat sympa~hy .was expressed by all ranks .with the .County Surgeon, Captain ROdI.er Heath, III hIS bereavement and loss of hIS only chIld Sylvia. vVIth referen~e to a serious explosion in which several lives were lost, the following letter was receIved : -

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIO:KEH. 49, BERNERS STREET, IpSWICH. March 24th, 1932. THE CHIEF COr.OIlSSIONER, ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE. SIR,

I have the honour to submit to you my report on this Jumber 10 District of the Brigade. . As you know it comprises the Counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambndgc and Hertford, with headquarters at Ipswich. Ambulance work is steadily going ahead in the District, and as proof of this, I have taken out figures of our numbers in the early years after the war anJ so can compar e t hem with these of to-day.

DISTRICT

19 1

At that time peoplc wcre tired of Ambulances and wounded, \.vhile many of our men had sen'ccl and were now demobilized. They were war-wcary, and failcd to rejoin us, the result being that Ambulance work was at a vcry low cbb. At that time \\c had in Norfolk only two small but efficient Ambulances and no ursing Division at. all. Now we have 16 mcn's divisions and 4 Tur.:;ing Divisions. In Suffolk we had at the same time but 11 Ambulance Divisions and 4 Nursing Divisions. TOW there is 16 men's and 6 women's divisions. In Essex we had but two Men's Divisions, and no Nursing Divisions. Kow we have 10 l\Ien's Divisions and 2 Nursing. In Hertford we had 3 Ambulance Divisions and no Nursing. Kow ther e are 5 l\Ien's Di\ i"ions and 2 'l\ursing Divisions. CamlN z'dgc 1 \\111 refer to later on with 2 :\len's Divisions only. This is an incrcase of 165 per cent in the pcnod of 10 years alluded to. In ot.her word,; wc ha\"e in ' rc1. ;ed from 22 Divisions to 46. The outstanding e"cnt of t.he year was the Royal H.e,"icw in Hyde Park to which we sent our full quot:1, and It caused some dlsappoint.ment amongst the men Cl."1d wo:nen that we ,,'ere not at hrst allowed to send a full battalion of men, as well as a full company oi nurse') One ompany of which we were particularly proud was a Grenadier Company, e\'ery man in it had to be a minimum of 5 ft. 11 in., while the tallest was 6 ft. 3 in. \11 ,',ere ex-soldicrs, wme medal", and the Company Commander told me that the Company" ac; compllment.ed by 11. R. H., and. well they deservcd it. They t.urned. out extraordll1arily well, complcte to the last button, and were a vcry smart lot indced Indced, all our companies put up a very good show, both nlcn dnd ,,"omen. .\nother item of interest I must refer to and make comment on is as follows. Our Ipswich V.A.O.'s deCIded that at their "'ar Office Inspection they would do someth1l1g orig1l1al. And for this they borrowed a large empty house that had been unoccupied for years. They :cntbbcd it from top to bottom, cleaned all windows inside and out, clcaned t.he grat. ~s and lit fires on borrowed coal. :\Iany had never cleaned a grate in their livcs before . They got from the Authorities light, water and gas. Indeed, ('very thanks arc cluc to those authorities for all they did so willingly in helping the effort. They bc,mec1 and borro\\ed beds and bedding from far and near, sufficient to fit t.he place out [or 15 paLicllts. Fiftcen girl Cadets were t.he patients, and these they put to bed, charted their Temperature', and trcated them with splints, bronchitis kettles, and so forth, according to the directions of the :\1.0. From v;uious doctors they got the loan of a t.heatre outfit with table and sterilizer complete. In fact., t.urned the place into a model Ettie Cottage Hospital, down to tlowers on the ward tables, and waited for the inspecting officer, Col. Godwin, D.C., M.S., of t.he East.ern command. 1Ic complimcnt.ed them on thcir cffort, and told me he was amazed at the result producecI. The inspectJon o\-er, they admitted the Public at a small fee, and so raised the wind. The cost was practically nil. Amongst the VIsitors were thc 1Iayor and Mayoress, who expressed their astonishment at the work and the efficiency shown. I must. not forget to express the thanks of the Detachment to the Medical Comforts Depot who were unstinting in loaning every conceivable thing necessary for the equipment, water- and air-beds, cages, bronchitis kettles, and so forth. I rather enlarge on this, because not only was it a proof of t.heir capabilities to do things, but was a compliment to the medical men who taught them. I congratulate them on the success of their effort, and to their begging and borrow. ing efficiency. In addition, it is to my mind an example that might be followed by other V.A.D.'s in different parts of thc Country as a lesson in practical work 01 equipping a hospital in time of an emergcncy, at no cost, but as a means of raising the wind. It is an excellent propaganda work, and I congratulate the Commandant, :Miss Hos ack, on her effort as well as her Detachment on their work.

JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE

The tea that was served to the patients and to visttors, at a charge of course, was an excellent test of the abilities of the V . .D. cooks. Our Ambulance services continue to function admirably, and although in these times of financial stress we find it difficult to make ends meet yet we carryon. There are 14 Ambulances in the district, some our o\vn property, some that of the Joint Council, and one or two the property of Corporations that get our men to do the work. They have carried 2,969 patients and travelled 3 ,097 miles. In not a single instance have I heard of a single complaint, but on the contrary I have repeatedly heard of thanks to the men for their care and attention, which is very encouraging to them . Road patrols have cO\'ered 1,346 miles and have treated 253 cases of varying severity. The number of patients treated as first aid ones throu ghout the District I cannot give you, but it must run into several thou sands. Several of our nurses are in charge of the first aid posts at large works, and there their services are in con tant use. Returns are difficult to get, for firms do not like giving these details, for obvious reasons. Harking back to Cambridge. Here is a County that is practically lying fallow. I ha\'e tried time and again to find a man of leisure and one interested in our work to take the County up, organize it, and get it under way. So far I have fatled, I am sorry to say. Could \Ne but find the man I am confident we could go ahead there as we have done elsewhere. I am most anxious to find the right man, to whom I would give every assistance and advice. Number 10 is all right and very much alive. Its success is due to the very loyal and excellent assistance I get from my assistant Commissioners, and indeed from all officers and men in the area, and I here desire to express t.o them my most grateful thanks for their splendid co-operation . I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, F. HOSSACK, Commissioner. Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John .

IRISH FREE

QUARE, DUBLIN,

Annual R etw'ns Apnl 26th, 1932. THE CHIEF CO?IMISSIO TER, ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE, SIR, I have the honour to submit my Report for the year] 93l. An increased amount of Public Duty was carried out by both \mbulance and Nursing Divisions during this year. Among the more importani e\'cnts were. The Royal Dublin Society's Shows in May and August; thc "Lem ter Two Hundred" Motor Cycle Race on the kerries Course in l\lay; the Third Grand Prix Motor Race in the Phrenix Park in July; the Irish ::\1otor Hacing Club's Road Race at Straffan, Co. Kildare, in October. I am glad to be able to acrain place on record that no serious accident occurred in connection wIth the Grand Prix, either during the early morning practices or during the races The :'Iledlcal and Ambulance personnel was organized on much the same lines as in prevIOus years. A very different duty was the transport of the lOvalids going to Lourdes on the Ozanam and Catholic Truth Society's Pilgrimages in September. The lO\"alid_. coming from different parts of the country, were com'eyed from the various railway termini to \Yestland Row Station and tran ferred to the Steamer at l(lO!5stown. Lady Ambulance Officer 1\1iss A. A. Barry and two Ambulance Sisters accompal11ed the Ozanam Pilgrimage to Lourdes . The in\"alid ' \\ere al 0 cared for by St John men at Holyhead and Folkestone. For the Services on Remembrance Sunday, ~o\"ember ' th, and at the Parade in Phrenix Park on November 11th, a considerable Brigade tafT was supplied F irst Aid Hut s.-1,175 cases were treated at the ity First Aid Ilut in O'Connell Street-875 by the Day Orderly and 300 by the 1\ight Staffs. The Hut at the Football grounds in the Phccnix Park was open from beginning of September to May; and the l\Ierrion Strand lIut was open during the three summer months staffed by the Nursing Divisions in rotation . Transport D epartment.-The St. John men and isters supply the entire personnel for the Invalid Transport Service at 14, ::'.lerrion ,quar e. During ihe year 1,162 patients were removed . The regular attendance of Ambulance Sisters when female cases are transferred is to be specially commended. Invalid Requisites and Stores D epa1'tments. The work of the Im'alid Requisites Department increases year by year as the comforts issued to the sick poor become better known and more appreciated. The h eaviest call is on air cushions, for which there is an almost unlimited demand. The bi-weekly attendance of Lady Superintendent ]\.Irs. IcGee and the r egular assistance of Ambulance Sisters in these Departments, are of inestimable help , without which this important branch of th e work could not be carried on. Welja1'e Department. -There are now four Dining Rooms open in different parts of Dublin, where destitute expectant and nursing mothers recei\"e a daily dinner free, for three months before and two months after confinement. The work is developing and receiving the recognition of the Public Health Authorities. In 1931 a total of 534 cases were helped and a iotal of 29,556 dinners served in the four Dining Rooms, and to all women confined two weeks' nourishment grant and baby clothes were given. The value of the work accomplished by Lady Superintendent Miss G . M . Barrington, who is Secretary of the Welfare Department, cannot be too highly estimated. Competitions - These were held at the Brigade Hall during the month s of March and April, the Cup Winners being as follows :-

The ups and Prizes were presented at the Annual Inspection which was held Lord I\'cagh's Ganlens on June 13th, when there was a total of 561 on parade . 'enator ::'.lajor-General ir \\'m. lJickie, K.C.B ., C.B., wa Inspecting Officer. On that occasion I had the honour io present, on behalf of the Grand Prior of the Order, the Inignia of erving Brother of the Order to District Officer J . P . :'IIac.!. 'amara, 25 Sen ice Medals and 1 en'ice Medal Bar. At the entenary Celebrations III London in June I had the honour to lead a Looldcrable and representati\'e contingent from the Irish Free tate District. At the 1m esiiture by His :'IIajesty the o\'creign Head of the Order on June 23rd four members from this Di trict received the Insignia of their admission to or promotion in various Grades of the Order. District Officer A. l\1. Fullerton was promoted ommander; Lady District uperintendent :'IIiss E. F. Blandford, Dame of Grace: Superiniendent G. \V . Belton was admitted to the Order as Serving l3roiher and Lady Ambulance Officer Miss . A. Barry as erving Si ter. Ten Brigade members were present at the Commemoration Service in Vole tminster Abbey on June 24th. Xll1ety-se\'en Ambulance men and 10 Officers, and 59 1\ursing Sisters and 3 Officers, paraded in Hyde Park on June 27th. Assistant Commi ioner Jas . H. W ebb acted as my Staff Officer, and Di. trict Officer A. J. :'IIacvVilliam as Parade ommander. The Annual App al and Flag Day Collections took place in :'I1ay and r ealized a total sum of £915 16s. lId.; the expenses deductable amounted to £64 s. 5d. It was a great disappointment that the Collection was so much less than that of the previous year. This was, I believe, in part due to the r estrict ed hours of collection und er the new Police r egu lations. The appeal wa organized by District Officer J . P. Macr amara and Corps Officers l\1r. and Irs. R eg. H. Keatinge . Another big effort to raise funds for the \Velfare Department alone is made in No\"ember by means of a Sale of \\'ork, organized by the members of the \Velfare Committee, the Di trict Staff and Officers and members of ursing Divisions . This year it was h eld in the Mansion House and brought in the fine amount of £378 1 s. 3d. The Irish Ambulance Gazette siill continues under the Editorship of :'I1iss E . F . Blandford, and forms an inter esting a nd useful link between District Headquarters and Divisional m embers, and is also appreciated by a considerable number of the outside subscribers. Many of the members of our r ursing Divisions had the benefit of four or more week-end training at one or other of the City Hospitals which have opened their doors to us . Once again I should like to place on record how much we appreciate this help and co-operation on the part of the Hospitals' Staffs. The chool of Instruction for men was held during the spring und er the leadership of District Officer A. J, Mac William; 65 members from the various Divisions were 111

enrolled and 3 candidates presented themselves for the examination and pa sed. The Commissioner's Gold Medal was won by Private F. Stephen, City of Dublin .-\mb ulan ce Division. First Aid and Home Nursing Classes were held throughout the winter at the Brigade Hall, and through these, and those held at outside centres, 345 persons obtained Senior First Aid Certificates, 96 Senior Home Nursing, 22 IIome IIygiene, 93 Preliminary First /\.id and 10 Preliminary Home Nursing Certificates. The preliminary First Aid Certificates included 59 gained by Girl Guides. Of t.he Senior :Men's Certificates 13+ were gained by Civic Guards. The Association and the Brigade sustained a severe loss by the deat.h carly in February of Dr. \ Yalter C. Stevenson, who had given many years' devoted sen;ire to the interests of both Branches of the Order in Ireland . Dr. tevenson'~ plOneer work in the application of Radium in Surgery, although not recognized as fully as it might ha,-e been owing to his inherent modesty, has in this country at any rate assured for him a place in the history of Therapeutics. Another valued Officer-Superintendent Frank J . Horne-was also taken from us by death later in the year. To my splendid District Staff and hard-working and reliable District Secretary I once more desire to pay tribute with gratitude.

Whilst the strength of the Brigade sho\vs a satisfactory increase of 622 on the total for 1930, the past year has been characterized less by expansion in this direction than by stabilization of existing units; and the acces ion of new membership on the formation of eIght Ambulance, three ur ing, ten Cadet Ambulance, and two Cadet Nursing Divisions i somewhat nullified in the numerical return shown hereunder by the elimination of five Ambulance, five Nursing, five Cadet Ambulance and one Cadet ur ing Divisions, which were struck off the Roll after long continued inactivit.y.

~\ grant of £2,000 was allocated to the Priory by the Pilgrim Trust

(Vacant.)

for the stal)li_hmcnt and equipment of Cadet Units for boys and girls in the minill area of outh \Ya.le , where there are thousands of boys Jiving in idlene and falling into mischief from very boredom; and it may be con idered a tribute to the value of the Cadet Movement that the Tni ' tee ~ incorporated in their Fir t Annual Report the view embodied in the Priory" application, viz., "The advantages of a training in Frst Aid, Home I- ur ing and mbulance ,,,,ork are manifold: discipline is allied with mental exercise, theory is applied in practical fa hion, and a feeling of self-respect, engendered by a sense of proved efficiency and service of the community, takes the place of hopelessness." The grant. is being di bur ed in sums of two-thirds of the actual amount required conditionally upon one-third being raised by the locality; and, by thus encouraging the principle of self-help, a sufficient measure of interest and enthusiasm is secured to ensure the springing up of strong keen Divisions rather than units of ephemeral growth .

Units in. places. lacking a District Nurse are, as private individuals, voluntanly nursmg the sick poor in their own homes. It is now ~ustoma~y for organizers of Holiday Camps, ports Meetings, and all publIc functIo~s to seek the services of a Brigad member; and at such annual gathenng~ as ~h~ Ro~al National Eisteddfod, the Royal Welsh Show, etc., the Pnory IS mvanably asked to accept responsibility for the Ambulance arrangements.

strong opposition on the grounds of expense, that Ambulance Competitions figured in the programme of the Royal National Eisteddfod at Bangor; and in the open contests the Lady Lewis and Lady Bute Cups of the Priory were won by the Lancashire Constabulary team and Portmadoc B.R.C.S. Nursing Team. Ambulance competitions were again a feature of the Royal Welsh gricultural ociety's show at Llanelly; and the successful teams in open event for men, women, and Cadets were ionmouthshire Constabulary, Llanelly Nursing, and Glynneath Cadets respectively.

DEPUTY COMMISSIO ER. The appointment of 1\1r. A. G. E. J. Fudge, of Newport (Mon.), a Commander of the Order and Member of the Chapter since the inception of the Priory, to the office of Deputy Commissioner for Wales was welcomed by the Brigade a a suitable recognition of long and distinguished service to the Brigade and the Order generally. 1\1r. Fudge has maintained a clo e and active connection with the Ambulance 10vement since 1893 ; and on the formation of the Priory was appointed Commissioner of the Borough of ewport Centrc. His advice and experience have been of the greate t value to the Commi ioner on his assumption of office; and throughout the ummer month, particularly, his services were placed freel . at the di po al of the Priory in arranging the Annual Inspections of the variou orp and Divi ion . ~IOTOR A1\IBULAXCE TRAXSPORT ERVICE. ron iderablc progre wa made during the year in connection with the Motor Ambulance Tran port ervice, which was extended by the opening of a new station at \vTIlllynfell on December 17th, bringing the total number of car tations to fifteen, whil t a second car was provided for the mmanford tation. The total number of cases carried and mileage travelled, viz., 7,416 and 14-1,814, show increases of 1,919 and 33,565 over the figure for 1930. Therc are twenty-nine Colliery Companies covering seventy collieries, and even other Companies subscribing, in addition to fifty-two Colliery Lodge, twelve other bodies of workmen, and twelve di trict contributing at the rate of one penny per week for a call on the ervice. Once again the Priory gratefully acknowledges its indebtedness to the outh \;Yale and Ionmouth hire Committee of the Miners' Vlelfare Fund for a further grant of £2,500, without which the Service could not have been extended or maintained in such a high state of efficiency. Apart from the Priory ervice, Ambulance cars are maintained by Brigade Units at Monmouth and Penrhyndeudraeth; and Divisions at Aberystwyth, Blaenau Fe tiniog, and Wrexham are responsible for t~e running of Home ervice Ambulance Cars, which last year dealt WIth an aggregate number of 572 cases covering 5,347 miles. MEDICAL COMFORTS DEPOTS. The opening of one new depot at Ynysybwl during 1930 brings the number of those now in operation to thirty-two, twenty-three of which are under the control of Brigade Units; and the total number of articles of invalid equipment issued in 1931 was 3,883, an increase of 354 on the previous year.

During the year 117 ervice 1\1 daL and 30 en'ice ~I dal Bar w r awarded by the Order to member of the Brigade versca ' and 310 ervice Badges were is ued by the Brigade Over ca. Hcadquart r . These figures show an increase over those for the previou year. It was a matter of much sati faction to me that the Brigade Ov rsea was represented so well at the Centenary Celebrations of the Order, when 163 Brigade Overseas membcr travelled long di tance at their own expense to be present. The large t contingent wa from outh Africa and Rhodesia and practically every Dominion and olony where the Brigade is established was repre ented. I was very glad to meet the Chief Commissioners for India and outh Africa and the enior Officers of other Dominions with whom I had many helpful di cu ion. I t was my great pleasure to meet and welcome the first contingent to arrive-that from South Africa and Rhodesia, and I am indebted to Mrs. Lancelot Dent, A.R.R.C., the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, Dr. D. Bennie Hewat, Commandery Commissioner for outhern Africa, and Captain Cahusac, Chief Secretary of the Ambulance Department, for representing me on the arrival of the Canadian contingents when I was, unfortunately, unable to be present.

My first opportunity of mceting the rest of those who came over to tll cclebrations was on Monday, 22nd June, when I arranged a Parade at the Q~l~en' " 'e tminster ' Drill Hall, Buckingham Gate, with a view to explalllmg wbc~.t would. be required ~f them at the Parade prior to ~he ommcmoratlOn erVlce at \Ve tmm ter Abbey and the Review m Hyde Park. Ovcr 130 members paraded in uniform and the drill which. follow d howed an excellent tandard of di cipline and efficiency. ! WI h, on b half of the members of the Brigade Overseas who visited thl country for thc ntenary Celebrations, to thank all the Hosts and H~ te . c who o. kir~dly and generously entertained the members and thclr fnends. Thelr kmd ho pitality was whole-heartedly appreciated and tll programmc of entertalllments thoroughly enjoyed. As the hapter-G ne~a~ had. kindly ?xtended invitations as far as possible to all over ea vl~lt~r lrre pectIve of whether they were members of the rdcr or not It I not, pcrhap , out of place to include references to function . which \\' re primarily re rved for member of the Order. To tll B~~lqU t at t. ]amc 's Pa~ace on 22nd June, pre ided over by.H.H..II. III Duke of Connaught, It wa only po sible to invite the Cl1l0r r presentativcs of the Dominion and Colonies, but all other mcmb r r cci\'ccl invitations to the Reception which followed it and all w r rcc iv d by.Hi Royal Highne. eventeen members of the Brigade \'cr ~ \v re mclnd d. among those inve ted by His Majesty the 0\' r 19n II ad at Buckmgham Palace on the 23rd June and a number of oth r werc il.1'.'itcd to witne the ceremony. .<\11 ov r a' \ ' 1 ltor ' recei\'ed invitation to the annual Commemoration c.rvi e on tlle following day which on this occasion was held at West]11111 t, r :\bbey: tho e who \\:ere mcmber of the Brigade paraded in D an s "\. ard pnor to th en'lce and marched to the Abbey where the Tur ing Diviion \,,'erc joined by H.R.H. The Duche s of York the Commandant-in- ' bief of ur ing Divi ion of the Brigade. The Ge~eral i\ ~embly of m mber of the Order was held immediately following in \Ye. tmin ter Grcat choo1. On th 2;)th June IIi Royal Highne The Grand Prior gave a Garden ~~rty a.t ~. ]am~.'

IX t am of men and six teams of women took part in the compctition from oyer. a and gave an excellent account of themel\'e e pecially when it i bornc in mind that some of the members of the teams. had never beforc taken part in a competition and, in more than one 111 tance, the member compri ing the team were unknown to each other before their arrival in England.

AMBULA CE BRIGADE OVERSE S.

The magnificent trophies offered by the ub-Prior, the Earl of Scarbrough, and the Chancellor, ir Aylmer Hunter-We ton, were pre ented by H.R.H. Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone. t the clo e of the Competition the Earl of Athlone very generou ly announced hi intention to present replicas of the men' tro~hy t~ t.h~ memb.er of the Barnstaple Team who, with the Liv rpool Nur .mg D1v1slOn a v~l1nr:er re pectively of the Inter-Railway and P rrott hI l~ , had been m.v~ted at the reque t of the overseas teams to take part m the ompebtlOn . ' for the purpose of compari on. The historic week closed on Saturday, 27th June, WIth the ReVIew in Hyde Park by H.R.H. Prince rthur of Connaught. Thi wa a magnificent spectacle when in delightful weather over 4,000 paraded of whom 133 were members of the Brigade Over ea. Owing to the unfortunate illne of the Acting Chief ommi ioner of the Brigade at-Home, Major-General ir Percival \\'ilkin on, K.c.~I.G ..' I:.S ..O., I had the great honour of commanding ~he parade an~ leadl11g It m It March Pa t, and owing to the loyal a 1 tance I receIved from all OJ~ parade this passed off mo t ucces fully. By .the ~ourte y of the Bngade at Home their claim to precedence was waived 111 favour .of the repr entation from overseas, an act of kindn s much apprecIated b .the men and women who, in some in tance , had travelled over 12,000 mIl , to be present. Considering that no opportunitie for the rehear al of the parade could be made the ~i~ ~nd man~u\'re of all wa of a remarkabl ' high standard, and the dIscrplme a hlgh a that of Regular troop '. This impre sed His Royal Highne ver grea~ly and I was a ked to convey his deep approval to all ranks of th Bngade pre ent. . Copies of the centenary number of th~ Gazette, the repnnt o~ the 'W hitehall Gazette containing the Pre entabon Plate of the In\' bture, and the message of congratulation from H.R.H. Prir:~e Arthur of Connaught have been sent to ach of the over ea VISItors and all Divisions of the Brigade Oversea. I greatly regret that th call upon the space in the Centenary number of the Gazette were , uch that room could not be found for the inclu ion of my own report, for I know that many from overseas were disappointe~ ~t t.hi. omi ion. With regard to the work in each DommlOn It IS my plea ur to r port : AUSTRALIA.- The Brigade in ustralia has been severely te ted dur~ng the past year by the unparalleled economic distress of the .c?untry w~Ich has placed many of our Divisions in a p~nuri~us conditlOn. It 1 a matter for congratulation, however, that m spIte of the tremendous difficulty in the way of raising new finances to carryon the work of the Divisions not one public duty has been neglected and there ha been a steady increase in the number of Divisions and personnel. The following additions to the District taffs have been made. In the New South Wales District, Lieut.-Col. ]. S. Purdy, D.S.O., M.D., Mr. S. L. Parsons, and Mr. ]. W. Booth have been appointed District Officers' in the South Australia District, ir Frank Moulden and Lieut.Col. G. Bice have joined the District Staff, while in the Victoria District Miss E. ]. Wells becomes its first Lady District Superintendent. I regret very much to have to report. the .deat~ ir: March of Mr. ]. H. Lord, the District Secretary of the Victona DIstnct.

m Melbourne Brigade connew Divisions definite step

ERMUDA.-The Brigade Over as in Bermuda is now getting more firml T e tabli hed and it is my plea ure to report that notice has been receiv d that a further Ambulance Division, a Tursing Division, and a Cadet ur ing Division may hortly be registered. Public duty has been done on veral occasions the out tanding example of which was at the fire on board l\I.V. B ermuda in the Hamilton Harbour, when member of the ~ o. 1 Hamilton Division, although handicapped by hortage of mat.erial, performed excellent work in attending to the many ca uaHie. Th r remained on duty for nearly three day and came through what was a ,e\'ere te t for a new Division with great credit. A:--'- A])A.- The , cond large t contingent from the Brigade Oversea pre ent in thi · COUll try for the ntenary Celebrations was that from an ada and I uncler:tand that con 'iderable difficulty wa experienced in financing the contingent which was only overcome by the generosity of memb L and friends. I was plea ed to note the appearance of all Ambulance and l ur ina member at the various parades. I was sorry it was not po _.ible for the Chief ommi ioner, ir Henry Pellatt, to accompany the contingent, as was at one time hoped, but I was very pI ased to welcome his senior officer-Dr. C. ]. Copp, the Commissioner of th Ontario Di trict. Dr. 'opp on his return from England made a tour of we tern Canada and tat d that he found that the object and purpo es of the Brigade w r b coming mor fully und r tood by the public in Canada. The work of the Brigade during the year has remained teady. Five new Di\'i ' ion 11a\' been formed, a very con iderable amount of public duty undertaken, and, in orne ca e , }\tledical Comfort Depots have been maintained. The road ide ervice cheme in operation at \Yinnipeg ha been extended and continues to do valuable service.

CEYLo),'.- The work of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Oversea which in Ceylon i confined to the eylon PoJice Corps, continues to be carried on to the ar at benefit of the public. The number of cases of accident and hurt in Ceylon, during the year i very large and in very many in tance the fir t aid efficiency of the Ceylon Police has been in trumental in aving life. The orps was inspected on the 12th October by His Excellency The Governor. Ho 'G KONG.-Many instances of the value of the ervices of the Hong Kong District of the Brigade Over eas to the Colony have been recorded from time to time and in 1931 the e have been even more evident. In April there occurred the disaster on the Kowloon- Canton Railway, when members of the Brigade rendered meritorious first aid assistance to the victims of an accident cau ed through the derailing of a train by reason of floods. Outstanding service was performed in another direction when members of the Brigade at much risk to themselves performed

duty at po ts throughout the Colony during the anti-J apane e riots which brok out in eptember. Excellent work wa al 0 done in connection with a fire which occurred in the crowded Chinese quarter, so that the member have every rea on to be proud of the record of work performed during the year. The attention of hapter-General ha been drawn to these cases of out tanding public duty. Although out ide the cope of thi report I hould like to refer to the prompt respon e of the members of thi Di trict to the n ed for ambulance workers at Shanghai during the recent ho tilitie. TO details have yet come to hand of the work actuall performed but I have no doubt that the party sent from Hong Kong to hanghai fully maintained the traditions of the District and the Brigade Over eas. I am very glad to be able to report the kind intere t taken in the work by Their Excellencies The Governor and Lady Peel. Lad Peel ha kindly consented to accept a rank in the Brigade and ha b n appointed Lady District uperintendent. The intere t shown by th hin e themselves in the work of the Brigade is a characteri -tic f ature of the work in Hong Kong. During the year the Brigade in Hong Kong has purcha ed and quipped another motor ambulance for work in the olony. 7

INDIA.-The unsettled conditions which continue in India do not make for progress but the work of the four Di trict of the Ihigad Over eas has been carried on, and, although there ha be n a light decrease in the number of Divisions it i gratifying to kn ow that til r has been an increase in the total per onne!. I regr t that the propo. eel formation of a new District with Headquarter at Patna did not pro\'e to be practicable. I am glad to be able to report that ince her arrival in Indi a Her Excellency The Countess of Willingdon has kindly con nL d t o b com the Patroness of the Tursing Divi ions of the Brigade throughout India and has generously presented a Cup for competition at th .\ll-Indi a Competitions between the ur ing Divi ions of th Brigad in India. Such valuable support will unque tionably do more than anything else to assist matters at this juncture. Public duty has been performed on a great many occa ion and in the No . 3 District valuable service were rendered at the di turbanc in connection with the Civil Disobedience Movement. In the No . 2 District, following the re ignation of Dr. Pollock who has returned to England, Major-General \V. V. Coppinger, C.LE., D.S.O., has been appointed to the charge of the District. During the year the Parsi Divi ion has been succe ful in completing its appeal for funds to build and equip its Headquarters. The foundation stone was laid in October and on the completion of the building the Parsi Division will be the first Division in India to own its Headquarter. It was a very great pleasure indeed to meet the Chief Commissioner for India, Sir Henry Moncrieff Smith, C.I.E., who attended the Centenary Cele brat ions. KENY A.-The strength of the Police Division continues to increase and many instances have come to hand where the knowledge of fir t aid has proved of the greatest value to members of this Division when on

Police. duty ill: the remot~ pa.rts of the. Colony. During the year Mr. R. G. B. pIcer resIgned a DIstnct upermtendent on leaving the Colonv to take ~p an appointment with the Pale tine Police. 1r.

The contingent from South Africa and Rhode ia to th 1 brations wa the largest from over eas and they are not only to b congratulated on their succes in winning both of the trophic ' at th Empir First Aid Competition, but al 0 for th ir showing at the H.o\'al Reyiew and their general appearance and bearing which wa the subj ct of highly favourable comment. I find it difficult to expre adequat 1y m~' c1 p appreciation of the magnificent effort made by the outh. \frican and Rhode ian Contingent at the Centenary elebration. . . ot on1 w r they the largest unit from over ea but the di ciplin, ffici ncy, and esprit de corps wa outstandingly high.

The foundation stone of the Headquarter building of the Tatal Centre of the Association and Di ,trict of the Brigade was laid in July last and it i hoped the building will be officially opened during 1932. Mr. A. F. \\ illiams, Officer in charge of the ape Province Di trict, and Colonel J. R. More, Officer in charge of the outh . . \frican U.ai Iways and Harbours Di trict, have been promoted to the rank of ommis:ion -r, and Mr. H. Chapman has been appointed A si tant Commi ioner in charge of the Rhodesian Railway Di trict where thr e new Di\,i ion~ have been registered during the year. I would again draw the attention of the Divi ion of the Brigad Overseas to the work of the Ophthalmic Ho pital at J eru alem and to thank all those who have so generously forwarded a donation during the year. The appeal of H.R.H. the Grand Prior in aid of the fund to extend the Headquarters of the Order has not met with the re ponse I had hoped for, but I should 1ike to take this opportunity to express my thank to the Divisions that have subscribed. I again have very much pleasure in expressing my d epest thanks to Mrs. Lancelot Dent, A.R.R.C., the Lady Superintendent-in- hief, for h r continued help and interest. The work of Mrs. Dent as Chairman of the Hostesses' Committee which arranged for the entertainment of the overseas visitors to the Centenary Celebrations was without doubt one of the greatest factors which helped to make the Celebrations the great success they were; while the hospitality of both Mr. and Mrs. Dent was unbounded and did more than anything else to make the representations from overseas enjoy this most strenuous visit. To Chief Commissioners for Dominions I would gratefully express my thanks for their continued interest in the work of the Brigade Overseas r

under their command and the sacrifice of so much of their time to Brigade matters. To all Officers in charge of Districts and other Officers and ranks, I express my appreciation of their continued loyalty and labours on behalf of the Bngade Overseas and for uffering humanity in far-off quarters of the globe of every colour, creed, and kind. It again gives me great pleasure to refer to the kind hospitality always offered by olonel Brooks an.d. members of the No. 1 (London) District of the Bngade-at-H~me to ~IsItors from the Brigade Overseas. During the year under reVIew, OW111g to the number of overseas visitors in Lond?n I h~d to mak many demands upon o. 1 District, and I know that 111 all 111stance. the members of the Brigade Overseas were most grateful for the ef\'ICeS that were rendered them. The invitation issued b T th~ ~i ·t:-ict t~ o~/sea vi itors to witness the an~ual inspection of the DI tnct 111 H~ de ark on 20th June by the ub-Pnor was taken full advantage of, and member were thus able to become familiar with the place and method of the review to be held on the 27th. To aptain ahu ac, M.~., who e mo t loyal and valuable help is alway xtended to the ChIef ommi sioner for Overseas, I extend my deepe t thank . It. i . with much r gret that I refer to the death on the 12th May, 1931, of .;\IaJor-General Dalt0!1' eneral Dalton wa in charge of the Brigade O,v?r as from Hlll unt}l 1~J20, a pe:-iod which included the exceptionally dtfficult y ar~ of tIl \\ ar, and ~1l mterest and devotion to the Brigade Overseas dunng the whole of hI connection with it are well known.

AMBULA CE BRIGADE OVERSEAS.

SIR, I have the honour to submit my report of the ursing Divi ions for the year ending 31 t December, 1931. Notwithstanding the world-wide depres ion and the great. financial difficulties that have been so much felt throughout the Dominions. ther has been an increase in the total number of the per onnel, and a marked increase in the number of Cadet Jursing Divi ions. Reports from all parts of the Empire indicate that the work of tb Brigade is becoming more widely known and the "alue and effi iency of the a sistance rendered by the ur ing Divi ion mar appr ciat d a. shown by the increased number of calls made upon them by tIl variou sections of the public. I am glad to be able to assure you that varied and difl1cult a many of the calls have been, in no ca e have the Nur ~ ing Divi ions failed to carry out their duty in a manner worthy of their tradition. The outstanding feature of the year has been the entenary Celebrations of the Order when so many member from oversea had a unique opportunity of taking part in the variou ' functions and aloof meeting so many of their fellow-workers both of the Home Brigade and other parts of the Empire . The work of the Teams which entered for Empire ompetltlOn' wa efficient and highly satisfactory more especially taking into account that they were working in unfamiliar surrounding and in ome case the tests were such as they had not encountered previou ·ly. It was therefore particularly gratifying that one of the outh African Teams should have won the trophy (so generou ly given by the Chancellor) by obtaining more marks even than the winners of the Perrott hi ld. The warm welcome and unbounded kindness and hospitality extended to the members of the Brigade Over eas during their visit will, I am sure, ever remain in their memories and will serve as a bond uniting them together as members of one great body. On behalf of the Nursing Divisions I would like to thank all those who so kindly entertained them during their visit and those who helped so much to make the various functions interesting and plea antincluding the Officers and Members of the Home Brigade who throughout the Celebrations showed such a fine spirit of esprit de corps: and finally I desire to convey to you, Sir, on behalf of the ursing Divisions their most grateful appreciation of all you did for their entertainment and well-being.

To my. Officers I wo.uld li~e to extend my sincere thanks for the loyal and effi.clent manner 11~ whlC~ they have carried on their work during m? ~ . dIfficult and ar:xlOus tImes and to all the members of Nursing DIVl lOn I would de Ire to say that their ready and capable response to the m~ny ca~l of duti~s is doing much to maintain the high standard of serVIce whIch the Bngade tands for all over the Empire. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, BEATRICE H . DEr\T, Lady Superintendent-in-Chief Nursing Divisions.

DOMINIONS.

AGSTRALIA.-Dr. T. torie Dixson, Chief Commis ioner for the Brigade Over eas wi thin the Commonwealth of Australia ('Vest Australia excepted), reports: -

• Totwithstandlllg the prevailing commercial and financial depression throughout the ommonwealth, progress in the various Districts has been steady during the ycar, and the strength and efficiency maintained. Five Ambulance, 2 1 ursing, 8 adet I ivisions, and 2 Scctions were registered, and only 1 Ambulance Division disbanded. The following is the approximate strengths of the Districts within my c.ommand : _Tew South \Valcs 1,518 Yictoria 526 South Austraha 310 Total 2,354 .Yew ~ ollllt Wales.-The report furnishcd by the Commissioner of this District show' that. the standard of efficiency and disciplme has been maintained despite \\' Idcspread unemployment among:t the mcmbers. The closing down of the Government Saving' Bank or ~ 'cw'outh \\'alcs la 't April left the majority of the more acti\'e Divi lOW, in a cntilal position. \\'ays and means of raising new funds to carryon essential dutlCs had to be found. For eight months Divisions experienced many diffIculties, and at the end of this period only 10 per cent was r eleased when the Commonwealth took oYer control of thc Bank. The Dlstrict now consists of ~m .\mbul ance, 1 _'ursing Di"lslons, -t Section, and 13 Cadet Divisions, with a membership of 1,5 1 ' I understand that there are still a fe,,· returns to come in. Thc calb for publiC duty continue to increase and "'ere all satisfactorily met. 3~~.125 ca:--.ualtles were attended as against. 26, 91 for the year 1930 . All the casualty rooms on the various beaches were inspected and from reports received all were \\'l:1l cquippcd and staffcd to meet any requirements and contingencies. S '\'eral Junl'iions were held to celebrate the Centenary of the Restoration of the Order III England, includIng a reunIOn of members of the Bngacle at the \Yaldod on 20th Jun e. Two hundred were at the function, where appropriat.e speeches were dell\'c recl. The Annual Church Parade was held at St. Andrew's Cathedral on Sunday, 28th June III the prcsence of Their Excellencies ir Philip and Lady Game. The preacher \\as the :'Ilost H.everend the Arc.hbishop of ydney, who is a Sub-Prelate of the Order Four hundred Officers and members attended. On 31st October the .-\nnual InpectJon of the District \"as conducted by Brigadier F B IIentage, C B.E , \I.V.O., Commandant of the :\Iilitary Di trict of Xew South \Yal es. The parade state wetS 650 of all ranks. It is Ycry pleasing to note that the Bngade is working very harmoniously with the - 'e\\ 'outh \\'ales Transport Service Board.

T·ictoria.-The .\ s:istant Commissioner reports the formation of four ne,\· .\mbul ancc and two adcl Di"isions, including the 1st Yictorian :'1otor Cycle Patrol DiVISIOn, the first of it. kind in the Commonwealth. The strength of this Dlstnct has increas d from 265 to 526, which clearly indicates that the Di trict 'taff is very much a!Jvc. The main problem confronting the Staff at present is to find avenues of employment for members in regard to public duty. For this reason the forming of further Di\isions in the City and Suburban areas is not being encouraged. The difficulty of raising funds for the purchase of uniforms is a further reason for such a policy. On the other hand the formation of new country Divi ion is being encouraged. The Brigade h as fulfilled all public requirements; included in the many public duties was Anzac Day, the late Sir John Monash's funeral, Royal Agricultural Show, the late Captain jacka's funeral, official visit of Chief cout Lord Baden-Powell, and also all rac e meetings, football matches, and charity carnivals, etc. With deepest regret the Assistant Commissioner records the death of the late District Secretary, 1\1r. J. H. Lord (an Officer of the Order) who died after a short illness on 1 til March, 1931. Mr. Lord's death occasioned deep sorrow to members of the Brigade.

harge uf

Early in 1931 the uniform of the SL John Ambulance Bngad ' macle its lirst appearance in this olony, since which time IL has been very much In vidence and quite naturally a greater amount of interest has been taken in' the work (If its meIl1IH: r~ as a result. At the present time there arc t.\\ el\'e men and one ])1\'Islonal OffIcer In uniform, and it is expected that this number \yill Le more than doubled dunng the coming year. Public duty has been done on many occasions c..1unng 1931, but thc outstanding occasion, and one in which the members an..: justly proud of theIr achi'vements, was the duty at the fire aboard t.he :\I.Y. llennuda on the 17th June; from the 'a rl" hours of the 17th to 5 a.m. on the 19th, 1.\YO or more of the memLer ... were to be fountl on the spot ready t.o be of service in case of n cd. On the first. clay noble work was done by t\\'O of the m en, Privates Osmond and 13ntton. The report of their sen'lces on this occasion has already been sent to the Chief Secretary by t.he i)1\' lsIQ oal OJfIler. On the second day risky work was done by anot.her member, Private i\Lonk, \\110 \\as also ment.ioned in the report, and I would say that t.he CIliei CommlsslOoer's letter in \vhich these workers were thanked for thcir splcndid effort.s \\as read and much appreciated by them. Altogether, the Hamilton Ko. 1 I ivislon dId -*9 hours' continuous service. On 18th August, Private Britton ment.ioned above, had the misfortune to meet. with an accident at the Power House of the Bermuda Electric Light. Company, and ·whilst 'we regret to say t.hat all efforts to revive h1111 were of no a\ail, I am happy to say that every man in the Division was granted leave from his 'work to attend and assist with the efforts to restore animatIon. In this case art.iflcial respiration wa continued for six hours. Three weeks later a similar accident happened to a Telephone Company worker, who had come in cont.act with a high t.ension wire. Here again the efforts were of no avail; on this occasion four of the members attended and gave their services. I am pleased to report that efforts arc being made to bring new Divisions into being. A class of instruction was held in St. George's during the su mmer from which eight men have undertaken to form a Division. This section signed the registration form B .F, 1, and is now awaiting its sanction from headquarters.

DOMI~IO)!S.

I a~ a~so.happy to report that they have met with considerable success financially, whlc.h 111 It.self shows that. the people of St. George's appreciate the formation of a SectlOn there.

They also have applied for registration, but we reahz~ th~t they cannot b~ fully r.egis~ere~ until they have passed the home nursing ~xam111ab~)D; a class for ~n trucbon In thIS subject has been formed.

Every Policeman who has a sufficient kno\\lcdge o[ Englt ... h is reqUIred to obta1l1 a First Aid Certificate. The number of certific<lte holders ll1creases )- early as the Police become more proficient in English. 121 ::.\Iembers of the Corps hold the Service Medal, having completed ten years elEcient sen'lce, ar~(l 1-1 members hold the Bar, having completed fifteen years. In a country such as Ceylon which has an extensive seaboard, and 1S studded \\ ith numerous lakes, rivers, and lagoons, a large number of dro\\nlI1g casc' is lI1evitable. Further, the exi tence in every village of wells, whIch in a great many cascs arc unprotected, has been the frequent cause of tragedies from drowni11 , espeCIally among children. For many years every Officer, Inspector, 'ergeant, anel Con"table in the Force has been required to have a practical knowledge of 'chafer's method of restoring respiration in the apparently drowned. Every recrtut before bClI1g passed out of the training school must have demonstrated hi ' ability to swim. InstructlOn in swimming has been part of the school curriculum for many years. Since tht; Training School became affiliated to the Royal Life Savmg Society it has become our aim to make as many recruits as possible efficient in Life Saving by their practical knowledge of rendering help to a person in difficulties in the water. A knowledge 01 First Aid is particularly u seful to Police in Districts where so m3.ny cases 01 serious injuries from personal violence occur at places 1ar dIstant

[rom hospital. In the year 1930, there were 334 cases of homicide, 1,081 cases of grievolls hurt, and 1,433 cases 01 hurt with dangerous weapons committed in the I sland. In cases brought to Police Stations of assault and accident in \vhich bones ar fractured and punctured wounds causer! there can be no question but that the cleaning of the wound, stoppage of bleeding, of application of splints before a long journey is undertaken, must cause great relief to the patient, and prove of value in the subsequent treatment. ::.\Totor accidents arc not uncommon, anel as many of them result in persons being injured, a knowledge of fir t aid becomes daily more necessary to a police officer. On many of the road' the traffic lS very heavy, and police motor patrols, each efjuipped \\ith first aid hampers, have been <;tarted on these roads. .\s a result of the Instruction gIven 111 First Aid every man realizes that it i. his duty to assist persons Injured 111 cases of assault and accident. This instruction has hacl effeci. in impreSSIng upon all ranks an important part of their duty toward the public and has, at lhe same time, cncouraged good relationships between the public and th 'polIce. \\'hereas In the pa'it a Police Officer coming to a village \\'as regarded as a common enemy, in that he had generally come to arrest an offender, it is now realized that he is ready and willing to render assi ·tance in cases of injury. The thanks of the Corps are due to Dr H.. Briercliffe, O.B.E., Director of ::.\Iedical ;ll1d :anllarv '('[VIClS, and also to Dr .\. C .. \.. Fernando, late Police urgeon, and Dr \\. '.

Health \\'ork in the ~ Tew Territories is one of the most ..,uccessful acti\'itics of the Brigade. and although it entails a sacnfice of well-earned Sunday rest, yet we are amply repaid by the gratitude sh0'\'n on all hands \\'herc\,er \\c go.

Fung I(i Cheuk of Fanling . anel -:\1r. Tang Pak Kau of Kam Tin have \ ery generously placed part of their house at the disposal of the resident nurse at each place. The kindly action of these h\'o gentlemen has been the mans of ensunng protection for the nurses, and is much appreciated by the vIllagers who gladly avail themselves of the services of the nUT!-;es. as seen by the number of cases. The Brigad is also greatly indebted to the I.G.P. for arranging police prote tion in case of night calls being made [or the services of the resident nurses. The Brigade is greatly indebted once again to the Finance ommittee and the Vice-Patrons who are responsible mainly for t.he Brigade's existence.

big Districts into \\'hich India is at present divided. Last year an effort was made to form a new District in Bihar and Ori sa, but it proved aborti\' , and the only existing Divi ion in this area, TO. 9 Patna Division, has been re-aUacllCd to No.2 Di trict. Details of the work performed in the four Districts is givcn below : 0.'0. 1 District.-At the end of the year thcre were 8 Ambulance Dl';isions, thc Delhi Xursing Division having been formed during the year ;,Icmbcrs attended the annual church parade in Lahore Cathedral, and the annual gencral meeting of the As ociation at Government House. Of the Ambulance Divisions the only really active ones arc the Indian DivIsion and the Carriage and \Vagon Division, both belonging to the .. 'orth \\'estern Hailway Corp. The Indian Divi ion has rendered assistance in a large nu m ber of accident cases. It also won the T. \V.R. Inter-station mbulance Challcnge Shield in the competitions held in February, 1931 , in which 13 .. Torih \" estern Raih\ay teams took part. During the disturbances in Lahore in December, 19~H, the Division went on duty in the city. The Carriage and \Vagon DI\:lslOn rendered First .\ id on over 4,000 occasions l1l the railway workshops. The record of the Kursing Di\'isions i-; as usual excellent, although thclr mcmbcrship unfortunately has decreased. During the absence on lcave of :\[r". nattye, Lady District uperintcndent, Mrs. ::\Iiles In'mg, Lady lh"tnct Otllcer , acted for her. It was largely through Lady Petrie's efforts that thc XC\\ Dclhl 1>i\'j,,1011 \\<1S formed, and the .A ssistant Commissioner reports her rcslgnatlOn hom thc 1)1\'1"lon with regret. Members of the Division went on duty dUring the football tournamcnt in Delhi. The Simla Xursing Division as isted in mcdical II1spectlons held 111 glrb' schools. ::\Iembers also worked in hospitals, and 14 members altended the KlIlg's Birthday Parade. The ::\Ioghalpura, Charing Cross, and Y .\\' C \ . DI\ ISlons, Lahore, have maintained their efficicncy by holding frcquent practice" .\ leam from the Y.\y.c.:~. Division won the" Hailey Bowl" compl'lition in l'ehruary, 1931, and the Charing Cross Di\'ision team \\ere the runners-up . The Lahore Clt\' '\ursmg Division, composed entirely of Indian Ladles, rendered assistance in sl'n'ral :tludenl cases. Some of the members also did duty at their Ganga Eam lIo:,plial. Onc, Tara Devi Kachchap, underwent 8 months' hospital training in order to become more efficient in serving sick and suHenng women . LJnfortunately sll' caught diphtheria and died after a short illness; her example of unselfish dc\ otlon should inspire others. During the year 14 members of Nursing Divisions underwcnt. Y. \ 1 . training in military hospitals, and obtained the requiSIte certificates. At the Centenary Celebration. of the Association 111 London in June, the j)islrict was r epresented by Mrs. Battye, Lady Superintendent, ancl by olfic('fs and member:; of the "1\ursing Divisions. ::\Irs. Battye had the honour of bing inve:.tecI as an Ult1cer (Sister) of the Order of St. J ohn by HIS ;,Iajesty the King Emperor at Buckingham Palace on 23rd June. A "1\ursing Team from this Distnct also entered for the Empire Competitions.

No.2 District.-At the end of the year there were 21 Ambulance and .j. .l 'ursing Divisions, of which one was the new Cadet Division in 't. Thomas's School, As mentioned above, the Scottish Churches ollcge Ambulance Corps, 'alcutta, consisting of 3 Ambulance and 1 Cadet Divisions, was dls bandccl. Thc 9th (Patna) Division, which last year was temporarily detached, was re-attached to this District during the year. The Ambulance Divisions put in attendances at the large public festivals and fairs, where large crowds gather, and at athletic vcnts, where First Aid is often necessary. Altogether 1,094 cases were reported where First Aid was rendered. An attempt is being made to establish liaison between the Brigade and thc Public Health authorities, so as to put the Division's assistance on a more regular and sah ·factory basis. An effort l1as also been made during the year to improve the equipment and uniforms of the Division, which up till now have been unsatisfact.ory. No.2 (Y.M.C.A.) Division reports a year's useful work, including public duties at the Ganga Saugor Aleta, at Swimming Competitions and at the Armistice Parade. This Division held a successful annual camp at Champua, Bihar and Orissa. A member of this Division, together with a member of the 13th Division, rendered First Aid to a soldier whose foot was accidentally injured, for which they received the thanks of the Commanding Officer, 8th Armoured Car Company.

TO. 3 (European Poli cc) Division raised its strength from 33 to 38. The Division attended to 292 cases, exclusive of those attended to by the staff of the Telephone Orric at headquarters, which has a proper First Aiel sta.tion .of its o"~n, ~nd.atten.ds to a large number of cases daily. Sixty-five students recelvedmstructlon 111 FIrst Ald, and over 90 pcr cent passed the examination. Two Officers and one member of the DIvision received the Service ilIedai. Inter-divisional parades were held between this Division and Xo. () (Indian Police) Division. This laUer DiviSIOn has also increased its membership and has performed useful service at publIc functions. It records a case where a Police Corporal was instrumental 111 sav1l1g the life of a girl who had fallen into a tank; he rescued her and performcd artifiCial respiratIOn. 1\0. 7 (Carmichc:el) Division performed public duties, and held a ~Ivisional Competition on 12th February, 1931.

Ambler from 1st June to 9th October. Dr. Sladen from 10th October to 25th Tovember. ::\Iajor Nunan from 26th ovember to 3 1st December. During the absence on lcaye of i.\Iajor \\' . I~unan, ::'IIr. D. F Panthakl acted as District Superintendent from ::\Iarch to November. At the close of the year the Di trict had on its roll 9 Ambulance , 1 ursing, 2 Cadet Ambulance, and 1 Cadet .1 Tursing Division., tolal 13 . The number of members of the Ambulance and l\ur ing Divi::.ions was 3 6, plus 2 Reserve", and of the Cadets 173, total 561. During the early part of the year members helped the injured in the civil disobedience disturbances; after the "Delhi Pact" in ::\Iar h, the\' carried out their normal routine work. In connection with the disturbances the unit in the District turned out for public service on 30 occasions. Of the e, the Parsl Dl\'ision attended on 14 occasions, the Radiant Club Division on , the o::.mopolitan Division on 7, and the "Ifaratha Division on 1. They treated 103 ca es of injury and remo\'ed 20 persons to hospital. As part of their ordinary routine work, th e units attended fans, hockey tournament. , State procession, athletic m eetings, etc., on many occasIOns. The total numb r of cases treated was 403, 270 on public duty and 133" not on public duty" During the year 6 14 patients were removed from one place to another, inclulhng 20 during the civil disobedien ce disturbances. Of thes 512 were remO\ cd bv th Parsi Division, which maintains its own ambulance, 67 by the Surat osmopolitan Di\'ision, 21 by the H indu Division, and the rest by other Divisions. La t year I reported that the Government of India had been pleased to grant a plot of land to the Parsi Ambulance Division for It Headquarters Bllll(hng. I am glad to report now that the foundation stone of this buildlllg wa laid by 'Ir lIormnsjee Cowasjee Dinshaw, O.B.E., :-'1.\'.0., on 18th Octob r, 1931. This will be ilw fir:-;t Division in India to possess its own headquarters. The Parsi Division held four First Aid competitions during the year : (1) Blackham Challenge hield; (2) Th e 'hirin D. F. Panthaki Challenge SIlicIc! ; (3) The Mark er and Jilla Cups, and (4) The Dhanjibhai H. ::\Iehta 1Icmorial :\Iedals . The Cadet Division also held a competition for four cups, ancl the. -ursing 1 lVlslon for three. The Division held an annual ca mp of instruction at .\ l1clhcrJ for 5 day:-; in April, and the Cadet Division also held a camp of instruction at .\nelh en dunng the Christmas vacation. The Parsi Tu r sing Division has an enrolment of 34 Ambulance Slsters. The Divi ion h eld 29 practices during the year. .-\ t th e request of the Committee, 10 Sister. attended the opening c remony of the ,\ ndheri Towers of 'ilence on 8th :,[arch, and they remained on duty hom 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., and treated IS cases of accidents and illness. They also h elped to nurse 35 private cases among theIr families and friends. The Ahmedabad Division had the misfortune to lose its uperintcnclent, D. Yajnick, who died on 7th March; the Divisional Secretary is temporarily in charge of the Divi. ion. The Maharatha Division, which \"as inactive in 1930, has re sumed work, and performed public duties on one occasion. The Surat Cosmopolitan Division added to its equipment a motor ambulancc, which has proved very u seful to the public. His Excellency the Governor of Bombay inspected the Bombay units on 7th March, 1931, and distributed Service r.ledal s, Bars, and other awards. The District was represented at the Centenary Celebrations by Sir R ginald Spence, its Assistant Commissioner, who was invested with the insignia of an " Officer" of the Order by His Majesty the King.

No. 4 District.- Th e Madras Corps consists of eight Ambulance Divisions, with a total membership of 331. T wo of these are Labour Divisions formed in the Buckingham and Carnatic Mills. There has been an increase in the membership of all Divisions with the exception of the two Labour Divisions. The Assistant Commissioner r eports that parades were well attended. The m embers went on duty at important festivals in Madras

and rendered First Aid in cases of accident or illness. During the Park Fair season, 39 lost children were restored to their parents. Efforts are being made to form a Nursing Division, and steps are also on foot to enrol cadets. The foregoing reports show that, although little new ground has been broken, the existing Di\'isions are unostentatiously doing a great deal of u seful work. The Ambulance Divisions 11l ITO. 2 and 3 DIstricts did particularly good work during the year in assisting thousands of pilgnms at fairs, and it is encouraging to learn that in ~ -0. 2 District liaison is being establtshed between the Brigade and the pu blic health autho[ltIe~, as l3rigade members can undoubtedly be of great assistance in l-pideffilcs. ::\lcmbers also found a new outlet for theIr activities in the First Aid H.oad Station established by the . s 'OClatlOn in Calcutta. The European members of Tursing DIVl. ·lOns have steadily proceeded with the work of gaining proficiency III milItary hospitals, although ofIicial sanction of the Voluntary Aid Detachment scheme is still awaited, the stumbling block being the smaU grant required from .'.rmy Funds for messing allowance,; during training. The Indian nursing members arc coming forward more readil) for training and many of them participate in Brigade competitions, and "i\'e llseful sen'ice in a variety of ways. Finall), I wish to express my sincere thanks to the Assistant Commissioners, District Ofhcns and members of DIVIsions for their loyal and devoted services throughout the year. .I.

The strength of the Division at the end of 1931 was 92 an increase (net) of eleven members during the YCM. Six members were struck off strength in 1931 on leaving the PolIce 1 oree having been either transferred to other Colonies or retrenched from the 'e rnce. The increase In membership would, I feel confident, have reached or exceeded the lUU mark had the net.:esslty for rigid economy in trayelling and other expenditure not pre\'ented the attendance of Pollee statIOned In out-distncts at lectures by :;\[Cdil:al Officers, nece,;sary before obtaining the certificate in First Aid. l 'or linancial re(l:->ons our annual lJ1spection in Xairobi, held in previous years in the presence of 1Iis l;::--.:cellency the Governor of the Colony, had reluctantly to be cancelled and the UI\'ISIon has therefore instead undergone inspection of its members by the omnllssioner 01 Police or the Deputy Commissioner at the official Police lI1spections of the yariou Units of the Force carried out by those Officers during the year. A team composed of members of thi Division had the privilege of attending the Centenary Celebrations of the Order lJ1 London and attained second place with the a\\'anl of gold medals in the O\'er,;eas Empire" Fir::;t Aid" Competition held during the CclebratlOn:->. The members of this team were most grateful for and deeply <tpprecla1.lve of the ready assistance and encouragement gIven them by mem bers and olIlccrs of the Bngade at vanous centres in England and Ireland Junng their 1Iome VisIt. They \\ere equally appreciative of the hospitality and generous kIndness extenJed to them by Offi.cers of the Order in London during the Centenary week. Eight '-SIX Police of this Force were examined or re-examined in First id during the year. These exammatlons were held at eleven centres throughout the Colony, as compared WIth seven centres in 1930. Eighty-two Police passed the prescribed tests. The DivislOn, as in previous years, has to acknowledge with gratitude the encouragement and personal help 1ll conducting and arranging for examinations given by Dr. \Y. H. Kauntze, ,\I.B.E., Deputy Director of Government r.Iedical Laboratories. Other doctors throughout the Colony ha\'e willingly given us their services both 1ll conducting instructional classes and in examining. I would mention in Nairobi parilcularly the names of Captain R. P. Cormack, R.A.I\1.C., and Dr. H. D. Tonking. It is of interest to record the award in 1931 of a t. John First Aid Certificate to a native Sergeant o( this Force (No. 544 3rd Sergeant OUo Oguna). This is the 1i.rst nailve of Kenya to obtain this qualification in so far as I am aware. It is hoped to arrange a special course of instruction in 1932 for literate African Police in airobi in order to get other Africans to obtain this certificate. As Superintendent of the Division I wish to acknowledge with gratitude the unfailing assistance and encouragement shown this Division by the Headquarters of the Brigade throughout the year under review as in the past.

The work done in connection with thc Hawkes Bay Earthquake Disaster is not included in any of the figures quoted above, it bcmg deemed advisable to keep the ordinary activities of the Brigade apart, so that the normal increases might be readily seen. The earth(luake work is dealt with separately. The work done bv members of the Brigade in co-operation with the Executin's of the Association, In connection with the disastrous earthquake which took place in Hawk es Bay on 3rd February, 1931 , devastating rTapier, Hastings, and other . mall places, I~ deservmg of special mcntlOJ1. .I. ~aturally the Districts in the Xorth Island bel11g nearer to the scene of the disaster were afforded the greater opportunities for service, but the members of the Brigade in the Southern Districts warmly supplemented the work of their 'orthern confreres. The members of the ~ TaplCr Dl\'i-;ioll and of the recently formed ~apier-Port Ahunn RaIlway Di\'islOn did excellent service, being on duty practically co-incident with the disaster overtaklDg the town of ~apier. They first directed their efforts towards rescue work, and were afterwards employed in diverse ways. Their work l1a been highly commended. \\-hen thc news of the earthquake reached Auckland, a magnificent response was made by the men and women of the Brigade, and it would have been possible to supply il~om 12- to 150 men and \\'omen at very short notice had they been rcqulTcd. The cong0stion on the road", and the diffi.culty of rationing when they arrived at their desilnation influenced the local authorities in their decision to send forward only 20 men with two motor ambulances and two ordinary motor-cars fully eqUIpped wIth :'Iledical Stores. Thi~ was done very promptly, ap being dispatched before G-!5 p m . on the uay of the catastrophe. It was deemed l11advisable to take the. horte . t route to Hawke's Bay, that VIa lake Taupo, as mformation was not aV<.l.Ilablc as to the state of the roads and the vehicles had therefore to proceed via \\'anganui and Palmer-ton ~-orth, a distance of 560 miles. Two squads from the IIamilton Division left there by the express train on the Illght of the 3rd February, while medical men, trained nurses, anu several members of the recently formed :'lalamata Din 'lon left there early on the morning of the -I-th February and proceeded o\erland to Hawke's Bay. orne 100 case of First Aid and 300 transport cases were dealt \\"lth by members of the .\uckland Ditrict. It is pleaslDg to report that the \\'hangarei Y.::\I.C .. \. Division came to the aSSIstance of .\ucklancl, and in order to enable that CIty to mal11tain its transport ~ervices it sent one of its ambulances with two drivers to Auckland, and they did duty there unti l the n;tllrn of the b\o Auckland Ambulances and men from .I. apier. In \\'ellington the members of the Brigade arose to the occasion with equal promptItude and many volunteered for sen-ice. A number WIth tores, etc., left by road at 5 pm. on the day of the occurrence and were in .I. -apier ready for duty prior to 3 a m. in the morning \\'hilt a further detachment followed at 8 a.m. next day and others held themsel\:es m reaull1ess for service \\'hen called upon . At \Vel'lmgton all hospital trams and tho 'e conveying refugees were met by men and women 01 the Brigade. :'IIedlcal en-ice and Comforts Depots were established, and much good work was carried out. The Ambulance Sister - were in constant attendance and dealt with re-dressing under the direction of the medical staff. The cases dealt \vith by the members of the District totalled approximately: First Aid 432, ursing 76, Transport 307, Re-dre sings 336. In \Yanganui the Brigade was quicldy on the alert. Members of the various local Divisions volunteered for ervice immediately upon news of the earthquake coming through. The representatives of the medical professlOn, pollce, and health authorities, however, advised again t the Brigade proceeding to the scene of the trouble as the local townspeople were themselves in possible danger, and there was every possibility that members w<;mlu be required ~o~ local service i~ connecti,?n with the refugees who would certamly be shortly arnvmg from the stncken area III large numbers.

The work in the above three cities gives a total of 5,171 cases of transport and when this is added to the 4,041 cases undertaken by the Brigade, there is a total of 9,212 which must be regarded as a fine piece of work. In Wel.lington members of the Ambulance Division attended at the Free Ambulance StatlOn for 2,594 hours, such attendances being in the evenings, Saturday afternoons, undays, and holidays, the men accompanying all motor ambulances called out. \Vith the inauguration during the year of the St. John Free Ambulance Service in Christchurch, arrangements were made for a member of the Brigade to accompany each vehicle. This involved a regular attendance of members at the garage, the service being provided by Ambulance Sisters during ordinary working hours, and by members of the Ambulance Divisions at other times. The total hours attendance registered at Christchurch was 7,440. At Timaru the attendance represented 408 hours, Dunedin 300 hours, Dargaville 55, Taumarunui 228, Petone 120, Lyttelion 93, and Ohai 142 . The number of Hospital Attendances was 224-a slight decrease on 1930, whcn assistance was given at several hospitals during an influenza epidemic.

our members took charge of the refugee camp and aLo of the collection and distribution of food and clothing. 1\Ie m.bers of the Nursing Division gave 1,00 7 hours, and those of the Ambulance Division 346 hours of service. One ambulance man gave ten full week continuous service as ecretary of the J omt Committee which controlled local work, while another member gave one week in sortlng and distributmg material for patients and other refugees in ew Plymouth and Tapier. Praise is also due to the members of the Palmerston rTorlh 1 Tursing Division for the work carried out by them. They took duty at the main concentration camp, and assisted at the Hospital and the dre sing stations. During five weeks the members of the Division put in 178 attendances with a total of 770 hours. An offer of assistance was also made from Christchurch, but owing to distance, clC., the men were not accepted for service in the earthquake area. A call was however made for medical and surgical stores, and a dresing station wa opened at the Christchurch Railway Station on the morning of the 5th February, and members of the Brigade met the train conveying passengers from the \\'dlington Ferry steamer at 7 a.m. each day and attended to refugees arriving, two Ambulance Sister~ and two men being in attendance; forty cases were dealt with here. .\ dressing station was also opened in Chester treet, hristchurch, where 62 different cases were treated, many being handled several times. Thirty-four cases also recei\"ed medical attention, while twenty patients were visited at their homes.

It IS with much regret that I have t.o report the death of two esteemed Officers of the Brigade. The first is District. Superintendent S. 1\1. H. Grenfell of Oamaru, Ot.ago, who died on the 5t.h :eptember, 1931. ;'Jr. Grcnfell took part in the formation of the first Di\'ision In thc t.own of Oamaru on the 1 t.h Oct.ober, 1899, becoming its Jlr:-.t orticC'r, and he succeeded to the Superintendency on the 12th December, 1911. IIc was appOInted DIstrict Treasurcr in September, 1912 , and District Superintendent lD charg of t.he ~ -orth Otago area on the 1st January, 1919. His services were recognized hy t.he Order in his appoint.ment as Serving Brother, and subsequently on JlIS promotion t.o t.he grade of Officer of the Order. The deceased was one who ,,'as untiring in his eflorts t.o further the cause of the Association and the Brigade, and hy his pas~ing the to\\'n and DIstrict have suffered a severe loss. The other membn ",hO:-'l' loss is referred to i Corps Officer A. \V. Potter of Auckland, who died uncler venT t.raaic ircumstances on t.he 27th October last. He 'was accompanying onc of the Association's motor ambulances from Auckland to Bunua where it had beenu mmOll('d to carry a pat.ient to . \ ucldand. The vehicle went over a bank. a bout :.q miles from Jlapakura, and 1\1r. Pottcr was cru hed beneath the vehicle, The d '(ca:eel had somc 37 year:,' connection with the work of St. John, and 'was an enthu iasti officer WIth considerable war experience in the _-ew Zealand :;\Iedical Corps. He will he much missed in local ambulancc circles. Tlw C 'nt nnial C lebrations of the Order aroused great interest in Tew Zealand and It IS pleasll1g to know that the Dommion was so well represented upon the occasion . Those members who have ret.urned, speak in high terms of the hospitality extended to them by all associat.ed 'with St. John's Gate, and I t.ake this opportunity of exprcsslng the t.hanks of the Brigade in -ew Zealand for the unfailing courtesy rccciyecl by all \ lSlt.ors from this Dominion. Creat satisfactIOn IS fclt at the fact that a team from the Dominion hastily organized in London \\-as able t.o oLtain a place in the Empire Competition for women. Frogr!.!>.;" st.IlI continues t.o be made in connection with the Cadet movement, Sc\ en Cadet .\mbu lance and four Cadet .l 'ursing Divisions have been added to the roll. There arc now thirty-three Cadet units registered in Iew Zealand, while four ot.hers are in proce's of forma t.ion. ,\mbulan e Competit.ions \\ere held at Auckland, \Yellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin. There were very good entries in all cases, and much interest was sho\\·n. The St.ores Depots at Auckland, \Vellington, and Christchurch have continued to do good work. In consequence of the formation of new Divisions the demands have been exceptionally heavy, but I am pleased to know that all orders have been promptly executed. I inspected the ,Vellington Corps at the Show Building on the afternoon of Saturday,21st Tovember, last when I was accompanied by Dr. Henry, Surgeon-inChief for the Dominion. Thcre was an excellent turn-out of members, and everything was found to be in first-class order. Iy thanks are due to members of the Brigade staff in the various Districts for their continued support. I would especially mention }'Ir. F. \v. Ward , District Officer, \Vellington, \\"ho has carried out the duties of Assistant Commissioner of the Wellington District during the absence on sick leave of J\1r. A. O. Richardson.

Dr. D. Bennie IIewat, Commandery Commi. ioner for th Brigade Overseas within the Commandery in outhcrn .\frica, reports : The Centenary Celebrations held in London during June, 1931 , to commemorate the revival of the Order in England, took premier place in Brigade events. Eight v-two representatives of the . sociation and Brigade, drawn from all parts of South Africa, took part in the Celebrations. There was a full muster of all ranks at the Commemoration en'ice in 'Ye tminster ,\bbey on 2..J.th June. On the 2('t.h June, at the Great Central Hotel, the outh :\fri can t.eams distinguished t.hems h cs at the Empire First Aid Competitions. ITt the ... Tursing ection, they took the first and second places, the winners gaining the Rose Bo\\l donated by the Chancellor of the Order. In the Ambulance ection, the first, third, and fifth places \\ere taken by teams f~om Sout~ Africa, the \\-lnners secunng the cup presented by the ub-Prior. H.R.H. Pnncess AlIce, Counte s of Athlone, formerly Lady. uperintendent-in- hief for Southern Africa, graciously present.ed the a"'arcls at the conclusion of the Competitions, and expressed much pleasure in seeing her South .\fncan Teams t.ake the honours. H.R.H. Prince Arthur of Connaught inspected a parade of Ambulance and. Kursi~g Divi io~ from all parts of the Empire at Hyd Park whcn the South Afncan Bngade furmshecl a quota of 72 members of all ranks. The South African Contingent \,-'as given the right of the line at the Inspect.ion, and had t.ilt' honour of lea~ing the" i\Iarch Past ". At the conclusion, Prince ~\rthur of Connaughl 'ient a specIal messag~ of congratulation to the members of the Cont.mgent on thclr high standard of effiCIency. The SOCIal functIOns whIch the Sout.h .\[ncan m 'mbers w('r privileged to attend were many and varied. His )'Iaje ty the E:ing, Sowrelgn 1 rearl of the Order, took a keen personal mterest in the Celebration'i, and gracioll. Iv honoured the Contingent by enterlaimng the members at \\' IIHlsor Castl('. The· Contingent ·was also recei"ed by H.R.H. The Pnnce of \Vales, H.H..II. The nuk ' of Connaught, Grand Prior of the Order, Lord • carbrongh, ub-l'rior of the Order, Chapter-Gc~er<l:l and numerous other::.. .\11 ranks arc enthusiastic in apprc( latlOn of the hospItalIty extended by all concerned with such memorable cvents, which ·willlong be remembered. O'wing to my six months visit to England from 12th ::'Iray to :~1st 0 tober, 1931 , I w~s unable to complete such a large number of In'ipections as III prevIous Ycars. D~m.ng my absence, I appointed Lieut.-Colonel G. E. l'eacock, \ssistant ommIssH:mer, Transvaal District, to the position of Acting hicf Commlssi{)lwr, and I desrre to record my appreciation of the g nerous way in \\hich this enthusiastic Officer accepted the office, and for the able manner in which he carried out thc various duties. I perso?ally inspected the Brigade in the Orange Free State, Kimberley, and the Cape Pelllnsuia on my return from England. The Ins'pection~ at ~loemfontein were conducted by me in the new _\mbulance Hall: . Th~s Hall IS bUIlt on a large piece of ground granted by the Bloemfontem l\1ulllcipalIty, who also provid~d a hui~(hng loan. The Hall, \\ hich "as formally opened by the. Earl of Athlone m 1930, IS used by both the Asso iatlOn and J~rigadc m Bloemfontem, and provides for a long-felt need . .Col.onel Peacock had previously inspected a large number of the Transvaal DIVISIOns of the S.A.R. & H. District, as also the Natal Divisions centred in and aroun~ Durb~n. Th~ Transvaal D~strict D~visions were inspected by olonel D. ~onv:ch, AS~lstant DIrector of MedIcal SerVIces. Colonel 'v. B. Skinn r, Surgeonm-ChIef, carned out the Inspections of the Divisions in and around East London and Port Elizabeth, while. the <?th~r Inspecti~)l1s were completed either by the Officers in charge of the respective dIstncts or theIr deputies. Generally speaking,. ~he preva~ling economic depression, with the consequent retrenchments, has mIlItated agamst large musters, but under the circumstances the average attendance has been very creditable. The Inspections are invariably a.ttend~d by leading citizens and the public, and th~s afford an opportulllty.for practical dIsplays of First Aid and Home Nursing work which demonstrate the ob.Jects and valu~ of t~e mo:,ement; in addition to ensuring that. members of the Bngade are efnclCnt m theIr various duties, they likewise prOVIde valuable propaganda. During ~he year under review many appreciative tributes to the good work done by the Bngade have been recorded by letter and through the daily Press. This

praisc, in my opinion, is well merited. The calls on the Brigade are continually increasing, as eviclenced by the Brigade records which show that a large amount of pul.llic duty is being done throughout the country. Th Brigade ontinues to receive the support of the Department of Defence, and lIl.e Inspections are usually attended by an Offlcer representing the Director of :"[eclical Services. From personal ohservation, and from reports received from the various Inspecting OffIcers, the DiviSIOns have turned out smartly, the usual high standard has been maintained, and there is a creditable keenness throughout. The increase in Cadets should pro\'lde valuable members for the senior Di\'Isions later on. On Snnday. 7t11 June, His Excellency The Knight Commander, and several members of theommanclery harter, attended Divine Service at St. George's Cathedral, ape TOWI1, at which there was a large muster of the Ambulance and ?\nr"ing 1 ivi'ilOnS in the Cape Peninsula. Previous to the Church Service, His Excellency inspected a parade of the Divisions in the Cape Peninsula at the Drill Hall. At the Lonclusion of the Inspection, His Excellency in summarizing the J [islory of the Orcler since its formatIon. congratulated the members on their smart appearance, and 'iald that the \\"ork of the Order being founded on charity and service, it was gratifying to see so many takmg part in rendering such valuable sen"ice to others. IIis E.·Lellcncy laid the foundation stone for a new Headquarters for the St. John Ambulance \'isoeiat.ion and S1. John \mbulance Brigade in Durban on the 29th July, 19:31. Thl'i 1H1il(iing- has been made possible through the grant of a site and a substantial building loan gi"cn by the Corporation of Durban. It. is hoped that the new lIeadquarters will 1)e ready for oc upation about the middle of 1932. On ~l st J lily 1 lis Excellen'y The E:nirrht Commander inspected a large muster of the Durban and Pietermaritzburg Dlvisions at Durban, and presented Service ::'Ileclals and \\'arranb to seycral mcml.lers of the Brigade. The hrsl mel'ting of the .\mbulance ommiitee (late Central Council) was held in Bloemfontein on 27th ~'ovember, 1931, and was well attended by Brigade reprC'iClltatlves from ('\"en" DIstrict of the ommandery. Follo\\-lng the Ambulance ( ommlttec )'lcl'ting-, the .\ nnual 'ompetltlOns for the" elborne" hield (Ambulance ])1\"I .lOUS, "lIew<.l.t" Shield (~urslI1g DIvisions), and "Lady Price" Trophy (Ilwalid lookery), \\ere held on 2 lh Xovember in the new Ambulance Hall, I II r)(, 111 [onit In, a.nd t11 respectIve trophics were presented by His Honour The \dminislrator of the O.F S.
