Roberts writes under date December 16 ;- "ARMY CUP "The Oorps team has done exceedingly well in this competition to date, having defeated such strong teams as; 2nd Essex Regiment in the first round and 2nd Oxford and Bucks Light Infantry in the second round. http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ " A stern fight was put up by the' Essex,' the first game ended in a draw of 3 goals all, on our opponents' ground. In the replay we were still quits at the end of one and a half hours' play, no goals scored. Extra time was ordered and in the gathering darkness, Prince scored what proved to be the winning goal. "VeTsus 2nd OxjoTd and Bucks Light InjantTy. This was also a stern and strenuous struggle, our· opponents having a very clever .line of forwards, who were always very dangerous. The score sheet after one and a half hours' play read 1 goal each, and, as in the former game, we entered on a period of extra time, during which the winning goal was scored by Forshaw from a well-placed corner. "The team meet the 1st L. N. Lancs. Regiment in the third round and the consensus of opinion is that with a 'wee' bit of luck they will travel a little farther. "Our premier team has done well in the Aldershot Military League and now holds pride of place. Their most dangerous rivals are undoubtedly the 1st Battn. King's Royal Rifle Oorps, who have an excellent combination. on September 23, 2021 by guest. "HARWOOD OUP. " So far as the Aldershot Oompanies are concerned in this competition for 1911 and 1912, the final game to determine who should enter the penultimate round was played on December 15, between No. 2 Company (holders) Connaught Hospital, and No.. 3 Company, Cambridge Hospital.

James, which occurred at the Cambridge Hospital, http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ on December 11. Deceased was only ailing for twenty-four hours when he succumbed to 'hremorrhage of the brain.' The funeral took place on the 14th inst., and was largely attended. Floral tributes were sent by all Companies here. "The serjeants' mess of the Corps was we)] filled on Saturday evening on the occasion of a complimentary smoking concert arranged in honour of Serjeant-Major Bollen, who is severing his connexion with the Corps to return to civil life, to enjoy a well-earned pension, but not in idleness, for he will reappear as mine host of the Royal Arms, Heath End, of which hostelry he has become proprietor. Serjeant"Major Roberts presided, and the concert was greatly enjoyed, several of the officers of the Corps gracing the proceedings with their presence. "In the course of the evening the chairman said that a very pleasant duty devolved on him, that of proposing the good health and the future prosperity of their comrade, Serjeant-Major Bollen, who had spent over twenty-six years in the Corps of which they were all so proud. No doubt he would experience a wrench when leaving that he on September 23, 2021 by guest. would feel for many a day, for the military world was different from that outside it, and strong ties and the associations of years would be severed, and new ones formed in the new life. As a sportsman, Serjeant-Major Bollen had always been to the fore, especially in football and cricket. With regard to the latter, they all knew of his exploit in South Africa in winning' the silver cup which stood on the table before them that evening, and at billiards he was also' a bit warm'! In his new sphere of life he was sure to succeed if he showed the same traits of character that had stood him in good J R Army Med Corps: first published as 10.1136/jramc-18-01-19 on 1 January 1912. Downloaded from 8 stead in the Corps, and that he would succeed was their sincere wish. On behalf of the mess he asked him to accept as a small mark of their esteem an oak canteen of cutlery which would, he trusted, serve to remind him of the many friends he had left in the Corps. He gave the toast of his health, which was received with musical honours. " In response Serjeant-Major Bollen said that he felt sure that the reception he had been given that evening was one that all soldiers would like on leaving the Service. He could not thank them sufficiently for the kind words and good wishes, and he was leaving the Corps with the greatest regret. He had only one disappointment, and that was that he had been ullable to reach the highest office open to the man who had enlisted in the ranks, that of quartermaster, with His Majesty's commission. Age had stepped in and barred him. With respect to that matter he strongly advised all present to neglect no opportunity in time of peace to qualify for the highest possible positions to which they might get a chance of being called in time of war. 'Get all the knowledge you can while in Aldershot,' he urged, 'for although the work there is hard, the opportunities are many and such as you cannot always get elsewhere.' He was very sorry, he continued, to part with such good friends, but would always have a good welcome and a cosy corner for them whenever they liked to call on him. "The toast of 'The Officers' was also proposed by the chairman, in which he . referred to the good relationship existing between them, and the keen games of cricket played. "Lieutenant Bowie and Captain Watkins responded, in which they spoke of the many good qualities Of Serjeant-Major Bollen. . , Of the concert, it can be said that it was excellent. Good songs, good music, excellent arrangements, and good companionship went to make up a delightful evening. Among those who contributed to the programme were Serjeant Mosley, Mr. Wilson, whose Scotch comic songs were excellently rendered and well received. Serjeant Dixon Protected by copyright. sang "rhora' and 'Love's Coronation' in his well-known excellent style; Oonductor Davis, Army Ordnance Corps, delighted the company with his humorous song' Nobody satisfied,' Serjeant-Major Roberts sang' Good Company,' Quartermaster-Serjeant Taylor gave a well-rendered song' Asthore,' and Serjeant Cole, Royal Field Artillery, who pos· sesses a fine bass voice, contributed some good songs. Mr. Harry Poe kept tbe company laughing with his comic songs and patter; Mr. H. Marsters contributed two excellent recitations, and Mr. Hollingdale was warmly applauded for his songs' The Flight of Ages' and' Buttercup Joe,' given with excellent effect and in good voice. Musician Stader contributed a violin solo that was much enjoyed; Staff-Serjeant Muirhead sang , MyoId Chaco '; Serjeant-Major Figg kept the company delighted with his clever ren dering of the monologues' Coming home' and' Tommy Atkins' Autograph.' Serjeant Haggie contributed a well-played 'cello solo, 'Berceuse de Jocelyn,' and played the obbligato to Serjeant-Major Bollen's song' No. 9,' which was the hit cif the evening, the 'celloist only just escaping with his life. Serjeant-Major Drury sang 'Red Wing,' Serjeant-Major Todd gave Scottish melodies, and Serjeant Leggett kept the company in roars of laughter with his comic songs. http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ "The evening closed with the National Anthem and' Auld Lang Syne,' after a vote of thanks to the Entertainment Committee, comprising Staff-Serjeant Muirhead, Staff Serjeant Robinson, Staff-Serjeant Rayer, and Serjeant Ellis, had been proposed and honoured. Musician Large presided at the piano." NOTES FROM WOOLWICH.-Staff-Serjeant Sage writes: "The Serjeants' Mess at the Royal Herbert Hospital was the scene of a splendid farewell smoking concert and presentation to Serjeant-Major J. Ritchie, on Friday, November 17,1911, on the occa sion of his leaving the Service. " Serjeant-Major Ritchie, who joined the Service in 1886, is well known throughout the Corps as a good cricketer and a sportsman. " He has occupied the position of Chief Clerk in the Army Medical Stores, Woolwich, for some eight and a half years, and previous to the South African War (in which he was mentioned in despatches) he was stationed at Woolwich. The' smoker' was timed to on September 23, 2021 by guest. commence at 8 o'clock, and by that time a large gathering of civilian friends and com rades from other corps had arrived, and considerably over 100 sat down to the well-laid tables to enjoy what proved to be one of the best entertainments ever held in the mess. Serjeant-Major R. H. Green, the Regimental Serjeant-Major, presided as chairman. "After 'God save the King' had been sung, the following programme was presented :- J R Army Med Corps: first published as 10.1136/jramc-18-01-19 on 1 January 1912.

"During the course of the evening the chairman gave as the first toast 'The Officers,' six of whom were present, viz., Lieutenant-Oolonel J. B. Wilson, Major T. McDermott, Major T. P. Jones, Oaptain J. M. B. Rahilly, Lieutenant W. Bisset. " The toast was enthusiastically received and the health of the officers was drunk with musical honours. "Lieutenant-Oolonel J. B. Wilson responded for the officers, and thanked the W.O.'s and N.O.O.'s for their loyal support, and hoped that the feeling of comradeship would always be maintained between all ranks of the Oorps. " In proposing the toast of the evening, that of ' Our departing comrade,' the chair man remarked that he proposed it on behalf of the mess members with mixed feelings, for while conveying every good wish from the members, he had at the same time to http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ express their feelings of regret at losing a comrade well known throughout the Oorps as , one of the best.' " Whilst parting with him with the greatest of regret they all wished him the best of success in his future life and happiness'both for himself and family. Throughont his Jtwenty-five years' service Serjeant.Major Ritchie, wherever he had served, from Private upwards, had always been most popular, and his name was known throughout the Oorps as a sportsman. After a few further remarks the chairman presented him with a Benson's hunter watch bearing the inscription' Presented to Serjeant-Major J. Ritchie, on his retirement from the Service, by his comrades at Woolwich,' and in handing the same to him remarked, , We cannot let you go without some small mark of our esteem. I call it small, for it does not at all represent the magnitude of our wishes, but we hope you will accept this watch as a memento of the high esteem in which you were held whilst in the Service, and especially at Woolwich. May you live to wear it out.' Serjeant-Major Ritchie's health was then drunk with musical honours. " Serjeant-Major Ritchie, in rising to reply, was greeted with loud applause, and on September 23, 2021 by guest. said: 'Ohairman, Officers, and Oomrades, it is a severe wrench to leave the Service with which one has been associated for over twenty-five years. It is a long time to be in the Service, and I regret very much to have to leave it. During the period I have made many friends, civilian and otherwise, and there are a lot here to-night: they are good and true friends whom I hope to keep in touch with, wherever my call in civilian life may lead me. I think it is an honour to leave the British Service in the rank of Warrant Officer. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the beautiful send·off J R Army Med Corps: first published as 10.1136/jramc-18-01-19 on 1 January 1912. Downloaded from 10 you have given me to-night and this lovely present. Good-bye and good luck to you.' "The last toast of the evening was soon afterwards proposed, that of 'Our Visitors,' and the chairman remarked how pleased the members of the mess and himself were to see so many friends and comrades present. "The toast was suitably responded to by Councillor WaIters, and the evening's entertainment concluded by Serjeant-Major Ritchie singing two verses of ' Auld Lang Syne,' the assembly standing in a circle with clasped hands sang the closing strains. " , God save the King.' " Serjeant-Major Green writes :- "SERJEANTS' MESS. " The large room which was previously the officers' Library and Museum and which adjoined the Serjeants' Mess, has recently been reappropriated as a Mess Dining and Reading Room. It has been suitably furnished at a cost to mess funds of nearly :£100, .and we have now one of the finest serjeants' messes in the Service. "We find it of immense advantage, especially on our" Social" evenings, which are held fortnightly during the winter season, and also when we have Territorial units here for training, when' the dining members sometimes reach about forty in number. " In mentioning our social gatherings they seem to be more popular than ever this season and the attendance increases monthly. "Thanks to our Social Committee (Staff.Serjeant Sage and Serjeants Whestone and Thompson) our guests and ourselves are well catered for on these occasions. "VARIETY ENTERTAINMENT. " A variety entertainment was given in ihe Patients' Tbeatre, at the Royal Herbert Protected by copyright. Hospital, on November 21, to an audience of nearly 300, including patients, the hospital staff, families and a limited number of friends of the staff. "The programme was as follows:- "PART 1.

Downloaded from 11 venture. Every turn was most enthusiastically received from start to finish and a universal question at the close of the performance was, 'When is the next entertain ment by the Royal Army Medical Corps? ' The' Queen of Old Samara,' and' Mandy's Wedding,' by Corporals Plume and Dewey as principals, were given. with specially arranged stage settings, and were vociferously encored. The sketch 'The Lord and 'rinker,' written and arranged by Corporal Plume (who plays the' Tinker ') was highly amusing and the caste was much above the level of amateurs. The fun never lagged and the audience simply roared from the entrance of His Lordship to the exit of the Tinker, between which there was an interval of about thirty-five minutes. Staff Serjeant Pettley as the volatile French chef caused much merriment, but it is invidious to comment individually on those taking part, they all did so well. Corporal Plume will, it is hoped, show us a little more of his prowess as an anthor, for his writing is of no mean order. " FOOTBALL. "From the following table it will be seen that 12th Company Football Team have been doing very well this season so far. " 12th Company Football Results (to November 20, 1911).

" The game we lost in the Blackheath League was against Brockley, who are no doubt the best team we have met this season. " In the Charlton Charity Cup Competition, as was the case last year, 'we were drawn against the holders, the Army Service Corps, in the first round. In the first match on the Army Service Corps' ground on a dry and fast turf we ought to have won, but only managed to draw in a goalless match. We had some 3,000 to 4,000 spectators and the game was a fast and interesting one all through. " In. the return match which was played after torrents of rain had fallen and the ground and ball consequently heavy, our team had to give way after a plucky stand to a defeat of 4-2. " In the first round of the Harwood Cup Competition we met the weakest team we have seen from Chatham since the re-start of the Competition, and after a one·sided match, we came off the field victors by 9-0. Although well pleased with a win, I must ., say we should all like to have seen a more evenly contested game. " We meet 11 Company from Dover on November 29, and have been promised a much better game iu the next round. We look forward with confideuce to going a little http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ further in the competition than in past years, and to having' a bid: for the' Coop.' " NOTES FROM SHORNCLIFFE.-Major Hooper writes under date December 4: "During the past year there have been several changes in the hospital staff. Major G. H. Goddard has taken, charge of the Helena Hospital for Women and Childreu vice Major S. H. Fairrie. Captain A. Wheeler has become our Quartermaster instead of Captain R. R.

WE have received the following communication from the Secretary of this Association :- "The Association is actively engaged in forming a Library and Bureau for the collection of' all matters relating to pulmonary tuberculosis from every point of view, and in all countries. It is intended that snch information shall be available, not only to members of the medical profession, but to the public at large. Valuable assistance would be rendered if medical officers of health, school medical officers, and medical superintendents, or secretaries of hospitals, sanatoria, tuberculosis ,dispensaries, and on September 23, 2021 by guest. open.air schools would kindly place the Association on their distribution list in respect of annual reports or other documents bearing on the question of consumption. Books, pamphlets and reprints of articles from physicians and social workers in general would also be gladly received." J R Army Med Corps: first published as 10.1136/jramc-18-01-19 on 1 January 1912. Downloaded from 18 ARMY MEDICAL OFFICERS' WIDOWS' AND ORPHANS' FUND. THE Oommittee of the Army Medical Officers' Widows' and Orphans' Fund wishes to bring to the notice of officers of the Oorps the benefits offered by this Society; and to draw attention to its strong financial position, as disclosed by the Actuary's Report on the recent quinquennial valuation of the Fund. In this report (a copy of which may be obtained from the Secretary) the Actuary states that "the financial position of the Socieey continues to be eminently satisfactory," and adds that from the Fund officers can obtain" at least a minimum provision for their widows and orphans at a much lower cost than from any Life Assurance Oompany or other Society." The annnal subscription of a married member provides an annuity of £50, during widowhood, to the widow of the marriage, during which his subscription as a married member began. In the event of the death of the widow this annuity is continued to the children of such marriage until the youngest attains the age of 21 years. It also continues for their benefit, up to the same age, if the widow re-marries. .B'urthermore, should the wife of the subscriber predecease him, it will be optionlll for him to continue the SUbscription he had been paying as a married member, in order to provide an annuity similar to the above for the children of the marriage, until the youngest shall have attained the age of 21 years. Provision is also made (Rule X) whereby a part of the surplus at any quinquennial valuation may be applied for the benefit of members, or their wives, or orphan children. Thus, at the valuation as at December 31, 1910, a portion of the surplns was appro priated to bring the £50 annuities, immediate and contingent, in respect of members on the books at December 31, 1910, up to the present statutory limit of £52 per annum; and also to provide a sum of £100 (in addition to the first half-yearly annuity payment) Protected by copyright. immediately on the death of every first-class married member on the books at December 31, 1910, should he predecease his present wife. There is every reason to presume that at the next quinquennial valuation similar additional benefits may be granted to members now joining. Unmarried officers may become members by paying £2 yearly, and can thus reduce the rate of their subscriptions when married. A table of the rates of subscription will be found at the end of the book of Rules, of which rates some examples are given below. These terms cover all war and climate t'isks, and there are no marriage fines. But on the imminence, or outbreak, of war, the Oommittee are empowered to close the Fund temporarily to applicants for membership, or to adl1)-it them at a special war rate. Oopies of the Rules, Actuary's Report, Annual Report, and Balance Sheet, together with Declaration Forms, can be obtained from the Secretary, who will be glad to give any other information in his power.
