AUXILIARY- ROYAL ARMY MEDICAL CORPS FUNDS. AT the conclusion of the first complete year of the existence of the Auxiliary Royal Army Medical Oorps Funds it is thought that all officers of the Auxiliary Forces will'be interested to hear something of th'e measure of success which has been attained in promoting the objects for which the funds were established. / Initiated by the Director-General, Surgeon-Genera~ Sit Alfred Keogh, G.O.B., in June, 1916, the idea soon began to take shape and. a committee was formed in August which undertook the management of the funds subject to the approval of the Annual General Meeting. http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ Circulars ,were sent out to' all officers and subscriptions' invited, first from officers of the Auxiliary Forces, for the Benevolent Branch for the assistance of orphans of deceased officers. who may have left their families in difficult circumstances, with a view to obtaining for the children a better eduqation than would have otherwise. been possible.: and secondly from Oanteen and Recreation Funds for the Relief Branch for the immediate needs cif widows and orphans of soldiers of the' Oorps of the new armies who haye lost their lives during the War. All moneys received have been banked separately ~n the two branclies, the accounts being kept. quite distinct, and a considerable proportion of each invested in Government securities. As regards the Benevolent Branch it was decided that, ·in all cases assistance should be made by grants [annually, such grants being 'renews,ble as circumstance required, but being always reviewed by each General Annual Meeting. The Oommittee .has been authorized to deal .withurgent cases a,s they arise during the .year by making small grants in advance subject to ·the approval of the next Annual Meeting; and also with the administration of the Relief

Branch. . .. . on September 27, 2021 by guest. The first Annual General Meeting was held on October 26, and gFants m~de fro-m the Benevolent Branch as follows :- ' Three orphans of an officer with temporary commission .. £30 0 0 Two " 20 0 0 ~ WOO Two "" "."" 15 0 0 Four orphans of an officer, R.A.M.C.

, Sir Alfred Keogh has continued to take a great ,interest in the Fund, and in September last addressed a personal letter to all directors of medical services at home and abroad inviting their co-operation. As a result the number of annual subscribers has greatly increased, the total at present exceeding 1;200, and a considerable amount of money has been invested in War Loan and National War Bonds to make provision for future calls. ' ' The success and future development of the charity may, therefore, now be considered to be assured provided that,the corresponding annual subscripti!ms are continued, whicli there is no reason to doubt. !' '" " In the earlier days there seems to have been some misunderstanding as to the objects of the Funds and some officers appeared to think that they were in some way undertaking, duties which should be met from public sources. Perhaps it may not be out of place to repeat that grants from these Funds in no way take the place of any pension, compassionate allowance, or gratuities to which the families of deceased officers or non-commissioned officers and men may, be entitled under the Royal Warrant for Pay, &c. '" ' The Funds are a charity pure and simple/and registered under the War Charities,Act; 1916, and grants are made solely in aid of orphans (and widows and orphans in the Relief Branch), and are allotted according to the circmllstances of each individual case after taking into consideration the total income of the applicants, including any pension, &c., of which they may be in receipt. , , Colonel W. Hale White, R.A.M.C.(T.), has kindly undertaken the duties of Hon. Se'cretary and the office will shortly be moved to No. 11, Chandos Street; Cavendish Square, S.W. 1. All communications after 31st inst. should be sent to that address.

AT a ,Meeting of the Committee of the above Funds held January 25, the following two cases were considered :- ' Protected by copyright. Widow of a Qaptain in the A~xiliary Royal Army Medical Corps, who died in after two years' service. Applicant is training for a nurse in a maternity hospital., Granted £10 at once and another £1'0 in March. Widow of a priv'ate in the Royal Army Medical Corps, who was drowned while on Actiye Service. Left with two children ages 2 and 4. Only income Army Pension. ,Voted £5. , Major Ewen Maclean was reappointed Chairman,of the Committee, and Colonel Hale White' and Colonel Mansell Moullin commenced their duties as Hon. Secretary and Hon. Treasurer. The Committee are anxious to receive applications for the relief of the orphans of commissioned officers in the Auxiliary Royal Army Medical Corps, also for the widows and orphans of non- commissioned officers and men in the same service. ' Donations and subscriptions will be gratefully received and should be addressed to the 'Hon. Treasurer, at 11, Chandos Street, Cavendish Square, VV. 1, and all other communications addressed to the Hon. Secre~ary at the same address.

PRESENTATION OF MOTOR BACTERIOLOGICAL :GABORATORY TO' THE WAR OFFICE.

The ever-growing e~pioym'ent of bacteriological methods in me~~al a~d surgical treatment calls for increased facilities for the application of bacteriological technique in connexion with the sick and wounded in the present war. The necessity of providing some means of applying bacteriological tests in emergency conditions has led ~1r. Henry S_ Wellcome, the founder of the Wellcome Bureau of Scientific Research and of several other scientific research institutions, to present to the War Office for the use of the British Army Medical Department a completely equipped motor bacteriological laboratory. The formal presentation of the laboratory to the War Office has just taken place. There were present Brigadier-General Sir H. C. L. Holden, K.C,B., F.R.S., ~rom the Ministry of Munitions, also .Lieutenant-Colonel G. B. Stanistreet, C.M.G., As~istant Director-General, A.M.S., and Major Smallman, representing the War Office. Deputy Surgeon-General D. J. P. McNab of the Admiralty, Surgeon-General Sir M. W. H. Russell, R.C.M.G., A.M.S., of the War Office,laI)d Sir Frederick Treves, Bart., G.C.V.O., wrote referring in appreciative terms to this handsome and useful gift. . , ' In making the presentation, Mr. George E. Pearson, addressing Colonel Stanistreet, said :­ "I regret that Mr. Wellcome is unable t.o be here and personally make this presentation . . Unfcrtunately he is obliged to r'emain abroad because his medical advisors will not permit him to return for the present. ' ' "On his behalf I have much pleasure in asking you, sir, as the representative of the War Office, to 'accept this motor bacteriological laboratory for the use of the Army Medical Department,

abroad, where I trust its varied scientific equipment may be found of special service in dealing Protected by copyright. with medical problems on the spot. " The body of the car and its extended weatherproof annexe form a self-contained laboratory affording a, total working space of 219 square feet. A complete bacteriological equipment is .supplied in thirteen strongly made canteens so arranged that the contents are easily accessible, , but securely safeguarded against damage in transit froni place to place under rough and difficult - conditions of transport. . ' '. " The equipment is completed by the addition of the necessary tables, incubators,microscopes, balances, autoclave, centrifuge, etc., and a water tank fitted with a suitable pump is erected on the roof of the car. ~' "The annexe and the bacteriological fittings, etc., are so designed that they can be readily assembled and securely packed on the accompanying three-ton chassis. "I desire gratefully to acknowledge the courtesy of the London Committee of the French Red Cross Society and of Dr. Tilmant and Professor Garstang in permitting the use of their plans and specifications." ,,' Colonel Stanistreet then suitably expressed on behalf of the War Office'his high appreciation

of the most appropriate gift, which he was confident vyoold be of considerable value to the Army. http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ The company then proceeded to inspect the equipment which, in addition to the apparatus mentioned above, includes hot chambers, Pasteur oven, microtome, ice chest for water test samples, a complete electric lighting outfit including a dynamo and accumulators, and a provision for animal cages on the roof. Even the apparatus for the staff-mess, and sleeping accommoda­ tion is included. The arrangements for the many thousands of accessories and for their safe storage and transport in the drawers of the canteen have been worked out with extraordinary ,ingenuity, so that everything is conveniently grouped and readily accessible. The outfit, which is complete in every detail, is self, contained, and owing to the method of construction can, be either assembled or packed 'for transport _in about two hours. on September 27, 2021 by guest.
