ROYAL ARMY MEDIOAL OORPS OENTRAL MESS FUND. Protected by copyright. A MEETING of the Oommittee of this Fund was held at the Royal Army Medical Oollege on January 10, 1916. Present; Lieutenant-Colonel F. S. Irvine, representing Aldershot, in the Chair. Major G. B. Russell, representing Netley. Major G. A. D. Harvey, representing Ourragh. Major G. R.

The Balance Sheet and Accounts of the year ending February 28, 1915, were adopted.

The Hon. Secretary reported that on the closing of the Royal Army Medical Corps http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ Mess a.t Robert's Heights, Pretoria, in August, 1914, the members had transferred their ca.sh balance of £138. 118. 2d. to the Oentral Fund, and had also placed at the disposal of its Oommittee various articles of mess property, pla.te, etc. The Hon. Secreta.ry having sta.ted that he had thanked the donors at the time, the Oommittee desired to record on the Minutes their appreciation of the spirit which had prompted this generous gift. Applications for help from various Messes were considered. The Hon. Secretary of the London Mess reported that the net loss of that mess from August, 1914, till the end of December, 1915, had been £5317s. lld., by far the greater part of which (£497 2s. 8d.) had been on account of maintenance. The mess had £1,076 in Home and New South Wales stocks, which obviously could not be sold under present conditions. The cash balance at the bank was very small. Although a great many officers, both Regulars and Temporary ranks, Royal Army Medical Oorps, are using the mess for short periods, mess subscriptions and maintenance cannot be charged against them, and a large amount of revenue, hitherto on September 28, 2021 by guest. accruing to the mess, is lost. At the present time there are fourteen actual subscrib ing members of the mess, as against an average of 106 in normal times. The Committee, after carefully considering the matter, were satisfied that every effort is being made to keep expenses as low as possible and that help is urgently needed to provide for the proper upkeep of the mess. They therefore resolved that a grant of £250 be made for this purposes. They also were of opinion that under the very special circumstances now existing steps might be taken to approach the Government on this matter. A letter was read from the Hon. Secretary, Lucknow Mess, stating that it was in serious financial difficulties due to the cessation of Government grant owing to the J R Army Med Corps: first published as 10.1136/jramc-26-03-20 on 1 March 1916.

74 decrease in membership. Also that in the heavy rains part of the mess house had collapsed and much loss had been thereby caused. A grant of ",50 was made. A similar grant was made to the Peshawar Mess which was in serious difficulties owing to war conditions. The Hon. Secretary reported that in January, 1915, the Bangalore Mess was in danger of being closed, the Government grant having been withdrawn, and the mess funds being liable for rent tilI 1917. A grant of £100 had been asked for to enable the mess to he kept open. Owing to the impossihility of assembling a meeting of the Committee at that time the immediate payment of a sum of £50 had been sanctioned by the Chairman as an emergency measure, with the possible payment of another £50 if required. This action was confirmed by the Committee. The Netley Mess having asked for help to finish the additional temporary officers' quarters just built there, a loan of £200 was offered. (It was not considered advisable by the Netley Mess Committee to accept this.) Applications for help towards outfit by the Codford Mess, and for a grant to purchase a billiard table by the Twiseldon Camp Mess were not approved. The Committee considered that these were war messes and that the sphere of the central fund is restricted to those permanently established. The Committee authorized the investment of ,£400, now on deposit at the bank, in 5 per cent. Exchequer Bonds, to be held by Messrs. Holt and 00., at the order of the Chairman and Hon. Secretary for the time being; together with the similar invest ment of any further sum which may from time to time be considered advisable by the Chairman. In the absence of a General Meeting, Mr. E. T. Gann was appointed auditor for the year 1915-16. Protected by copyright. In order to facilitate the business of the Committee during the War a sub Committee, with a quorum of three, was given full powers to transact any urgent business should it not be practicable to assemble the General Committee.

OBITUARY THE LATE COLONEL E. o. WIGHl', A.D.M.S., - DIVISION. AN ApPRECIATION. By COLONEL H. N. THOMPSON, D.S.O. STRANGELY enough, I had never met Oolonel Wight until his Division joined the - Oorps in July last. His striking personality soon became apparent at our weekly conference of medical officers. He was an absolutely fearless man, full of energy and !leal, spending a great part of his time in the fire trenches and aid posts instructing his regimental officers; he enoouraged all ranks by his cheery presence. He was a fine horseman, and did nearly all his work in the divisional area mounted. Despising on September 28, 2021 by guest. roads and motor.cars, he would make his point across country, and frequently used up two horses in a day's work. In the matter of administration he was almost a pioneer; devoted heart and soul to his work and to the interests of the soldiers in his charge, he was always devising and organizing things for their comfort. As a colleague he was most loyal; ready with advice and suggestions, which, coming from a man who had been everywhere and seen everything with his own eyes, were always full of practical wisdom and knowledge. Since his death, tales of his prowess in the various fields of sport come in from all sides. In the hunting field at home and the plains and jungles of India and Burmah- J R Army Med Corps: first published as 10.1136/jramc-26-03-20 on 1 March 1916. Downloaded from

75 a.like with spear, gun and rifle-he exoelled. One incident, of how he, with a single companion, when a Oadet at Netley, sailed an open boat aoross to Oherbourg and back, is typica.l of the innate courage of the man. On three different oocasions he was decorated or distinguished by the Royal Humane Society for sa.ving lives. To his own officers and men he was the ideal chief, and soon drew from them an affectionate devotion and respect. He always spoke of them with pride, and by his personal qualities and bright example was able to draw the very best out of all of them. On the morning of a recent gas attack he, with three others, was killed by the bursting of a shell just as they were leaving a colleoting station, after having dispatohed two ambulance cars loaded with wounded. Oolonel Wight belonged to the best type of officer which the Royal Army Medical Oorps produoes-a hard and conscientious worker, with whom duty was before all; a thorough all· round sportsman, and a gentleman to his finger-tips, it was incon ceivable that anything sordid or mean could touch him. I think he died the death he would have preferred to die-the death on the field of honour, the hero's death, the death most befitting such a very gallant officer and gentleman.
