Massage and Medical Gymnastics, are applying the wide knowledge -gained from long practical experience in British hospitals to helping Indian troops to regain the use of atrophied muscles* This is one service which can truthfully be said to be rendered with a smile, and its'effects are to be seen in the willingness with which the lane and the halt respond to the healing touch and carry through the various remedial exercises with regulated weights, dumb-bells, Indian clubs, pedalling on a stationary bicycle and the medicine ball. Happiness in their vocation and in their surroundings is the keynote of the out three of successful work now being carried by these masseuses in a Karachi hospital. They are Miss Mary R. Rogers, of Chackmore, Bucks; Miss C.M. Nicolson, of Gullane (East Lothian) .and St, Andrews (Fife); and Miss label L. Ritchie, of Warmit (Fife) and Dundee, Since in I dia last November these cheerful "raids of the Massage arriving n Corps' have had ample opportunity to study life in the country at close quarters and get really to know the Indian soldier. In turn the ordinary sepoy has come to appreciate the patience and unfailing kindliness of these sisters from over the seas. Miss Rogers, who had her training at the Royal Hospital at Buxton, later worked at St, John's Hospital, Lewisham, London and also' at the Royal Infirmary at Derby* 'She was a member of a party of 13 members of the Massage Corps detailed for work in India* Her first impression of India was at Bombay, For her, the lack of greenery and freshness leftbehind in England was made up by the gaily coloured the clothes worn by the Indians and background of fine buildings* at of "After a month spent Pooma, some us were sent to Karachi", she said, but "We worked among British troops, soon were posted to the Indian hospital.

Every effort has been made to give a complete and accurate Roll, but the Pub- lisher does not hold himself responsible for any omissions or errors* T. R RAMAGE, Nairn, March, 191J. PRINTED AT THE COUNTY PRESS, NAIRN. Nairnshire Roll of Honour. T"\ AIRNSHIRE has responded nobly to the call of her King statistics herewith | I and country, and from the JL / given, it will be seen that the county has reason to be proud of her position, and should rank amongst those counties in Britain that have given the largest percent- age of their manhood in this the most serious time of Britain's history. Each parish is given separately, so that it can be seen at a glance how many have gone out from these districts, and to what units they belong. The Navy is largely repre- sented ; also the Seaforths and Camerons, for which Nairn- shire is part of the recruiting area. The total number serving is 894, to which Nairn Parish contributes 548, Auldearn Parish 112, Cawdor Parish 95, Croy Parish (Nairnshire part) 40, Ardclach Parish, 40. Of this total 163 belong to the Naval Services, 288 to the Regular and Kitchener's Armies, and 439 to the Terri- torial and other voluntary services. The above figures represent a percentage of 9.59 over the whole county ; 20.65 of the male population ; and 64.73 of the latter from 18 to 40 years of age.
