REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE TO THE MEMBERS 01<' THE ARMY MEDICAL OFFICERS' \VlDOWS' AND ORPHANS' FUND.

GENTLEMEN,-Your Committee have the honour to report on the affairs of the Society, and to submit the accounts for the year ended December 31, 1909.

On the advice of the Society's auditors, the old and new cash accounts, hitherto printed with those now produced, have been omitted as unnecessary. They advise that the statements" Benefit Fund" and" Management Fund," together with the Balance Sheet (these being the forms prescribed by Statute), give all the required inforination.

During the year the only changes in the investments of the Fund have been as follows ;-

The sums of £3,417 1s. 2d. on the old account, and of £667 10s. 3d. on the new account (being interest on the amounts already invested with them), have been invested with the Commissioners for the reduction of the National Debt. The sums of £1,100 on the old account, and of £300 on the new account, have been withdrawn from the National Debt Commissioners for the payment of annuities.

[It should be explained for the information of new members that the terms " old account" and" new account," used above and in the Balance Sheet, refer to separate accounts, which have to be kept under these heads, for transactions with the National Debt Commissioners with regard to those members who joined the Society in different periods.] ,

The aggregate market value of the Stock Exchange securities will be found in a note on the face of the Balance Sheet. The difference between this market value and the book value will be dealt with at the next quinquennial valuation of the assets and liabilities of the Fund, which will take place at December 31, 1910.

Your Committee regret the resignation of Surgeon-General Sir Alfred Keogh, K.C. B., as President of the Society, and record their high sense of his services during his term of office. They also regret the resignation of Deputy-Surgeon-General rnnes as Trustee," and thank him for his long services to the Society. The seats on the Committee vacant by the resignation of Surgeon·General Sir W. D. Wilson, K.C.M.G., and Colonel W. G. Macpherson, C.M.G., have been filled (under Rule XXVI.) by the election of Colonel D. Wardrop, C.V.O., and Major C. E. Pollock.

During the year 1909 fifteen members ha,ve joined the Society; (and eleven since the beginning of 1910). There have been six deaths among members and four withdrawals. Six annuitants have been added to the list and four have died; (one also has died in 1910).

On December 31, 1909, there were 131 members of the Society, of whom fifteen were unmarried. At the same date the annuitants numbered seventy-five.

Your Committee regard with satisfaction the considerable accession of new members. They will, be obliged if members will continue to bring to the notice of their brother officers who have not yet joined the Society the advantages and strong financial position of the Fund.

W. G. DON, M.D., Deputy-Surgeon-Geneml, Vice-President, Chairman of the Meeting of this date. War Office,

April 15, 1910.

Note.-Subscriptions should be paid to the Bankers of the Fund, Sir C. R. McGrigor, Bart., and Co., 25, Charles Street, St. James's Square, and NOT to the Secretary. From the latter may be obtained copies of the Rules, the Annual and Actuary's Report", Forms of Declaration, &c.

REPORT OF ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ROYAL ARMY MEDICAL CORPS' FUND.

THE Annual Meeting was held at the Royal United Service Institution, Whitehall, S.W., on Monday, January 13, 1910, at 2.30 p.m., Surgeon·General W. L. Gubbins, C.B., M.V.O., K.H.S., Director-General, presiding. . . .

The Chairman, in opening the proceedings, said; We are small in. numbers .this year, owing to the Corps Dinner having been cancelled on account of the death of His Majesty King Edward; consequently, there are not so many officers in town as there otherwise would have heen. It has not been our custom to read the minutes of the previous annual meeting, but if any gentleman would like to make any remarks before they are confirmed, I shall be very glad t~ hear him. I will now deal with various points seriatim.

I will begin with the Committee. It undertakes, with the assistance of the Dinner and Memorial Sub-committees, the management of the Corps Funds, added to which it also manages and administers the General Relief and School Funds.

Since our last Annual Meeting we have reconstructed the constitution of the Committee. Questions frequently arise with regard to the management of the band, and it was found desirable to have the Band President a member of the Committee, but in order not to exceed the number of members originally decided on, viz., thirteen (nine officers on the active list and four representatives of retired officers), the Principal Medical Officer, Aldershot, agreed to the Band President taking his place on the Committee. It will, therefore, in future consist of the following members; The DirectorGeneral, the Principal Medical Officer London District, the Deputy-Diiector-General, a Professor of the Royal Army Medical College, an Officer Headquarters Staff, the Band President, the Commandant Royal Army Medical College, a junior Officer from Aldershot, a Quartermaster, Medical Stores, Woolwich, in addition to the four retired officers.

I will next take the Accounts. The finances of t~e Fund on June 1 stood as follows;-

Current account (in bank) Royal Army Medical Corps Fund General Relief Fund School Fund .•

£ s. d.

1,199 17 3 365 8 11

90 15 6

Total £1,656 1 8

o Besides this amount, £1,900 stands on deposit, including £1,000 for the Royal Army Medical Corps Fund, £200 for the General Relief Fund, and £700 for the School Fund; in addition, the General Relief has £1,100 invested in trust funds bringing our total assets to £4,656.

The Subscribers, I may remark, were 1,119 for the year 1909-the highest so far. Junior officers are now almost without exception joining the Fund, thanks to the lucid way inlwhich its benefits are placed before them during the time they are at the College.

Coming now to the Band, quarterly grants amounting to £270 were voted by the Committee towards the expenses and upkeep of the band during the year 1909, as compared with £487 during the previous year, of which £130 was for the band room.

You will be pleased to learu that 233 officers attended the Annual Dinner last year, as compared with 215 in 1908. This year the Dinner Sub-committee consists of the following; Colonel A. Peterkin, Colonel Sir Jas. Clark, Bart., Deputy-Surgeoh-General Don, Lieutenant-Colonel E. M. Wilson, Major C. B. Martin, Major H. A. Bray, Captain F. S. Irvine, Major Birrell (Hon. Sec.). .

On May 12 a Special Meeting was held to cancel the Dinner this year owing to the lamented death of King Edward. .

I will now invite your attention to the subject of Memorials. Sir James McGrigor's statue has been removed to a suitable site at the College. Our

thanks are very much dne not only to our late Director-General, who initiated the idea. but to Sir George White, Governor of Chelsea Hospital, to Sir Schomberg McDonnell of the Office of Works, and lastly to Sir James McGrigor, the present baronet. They all met us in the most handsome manner, and put no obstacle whatever in the way.

Oopies Qf PQrtraits Qf SirJQhn P~;nil~, and Sir Andrew Smith, DirectQr-General during the Orimean War, have been added; aIM an engraving" Remnant Qf an Army," has been placed in the OQllege cQllectiQn.

The WQlseley MemQrial has, with the CQncurrence Qf Mrs. WQlseley, been transferred frQm the theatre, RQyal Army Medical College, to. the N:etley Ohapel, which is cQnsidered a more suitable place, whilst a stained glass windQw has been placed in the OQllege Ohapel to. the, memQry Qf Oaptain Hardy, who., as yQU are aware, IQst his life frQm sleeping sickness last year.' " .

Dealing next with the General Relief Fund, I am glad to. infQrm you that w!th very few exceptiQns fall the cQmpanies sent grants to. this Fund last year, amountmg altQgether to. £368; £260~as spent ,in giving relief to indiyidualcases, and subscriptiQ~s were paid to. the fQllQwing Qn behalf Qf the OQrps; UniQn Jack Club, OQrpsQf OQmmISsiQnaires, SQldiers and SailQrs Help AssQciat,iQn, SQciety fQr EmplQyment Qf Reserve and Discharged SQldiers, DrummQnd Institute. . ' . I '

Hitherto. the accQUnts of the Fund have been made Up half yearly; it is nQW prQPQsedtQ make them up yearly, as is dQne with the benevQlent funds, and they will be published in the CORPS NEWS for February. . , '

I will,nQw touch Qn the question Qf School Funds. £143 was spent in maintaining children at schQols last year. We are now maintaining ten children, and have thirteen educated free-making twenty-three in all. One mQre paint in cQnclusiQn. Two. years ago. a resQlutian was passed that the meeting shQuld vote a grant annually to. the General Relief Fund, such grants to be based an the state of the finances at the tIme. Last year £10 was granted, and I may say that this is, with the exceptiQn Qfa few individual subscriptiQns, all that the afficers af the CQrps cQntribute to. the Fund.

NQw, gentlemen, befare we prQce,edta item two. an the Agenda, I wish, to invite dis-, cussion on this statement I have just made.

Lieutenant-CQIQnel E. M. WilsQn asked that the grant given to the General Relief Fund for the benefit Qf our discharged and reserve saldiers be increased fram £10 to. £50. He explained that he received a very large number Qf letters frQm discharged saldiers who WQuld be very thankful to get 'to' Canada, for instance, if any part Qf their passage PQuld be paid, and, althaugh he had been to. the Canadian Offices, there was no likelihQQd;af getting any assistance frQm them, Men Qften wrate and asked if any portian af their reserve pay could be advanced to. enable them to. emigrate, but af CQurse we were nat in a PQsitian to. do. this, and he thQught if the grant be increased fram £10 to £50 he CQuld get into cQmmunicatian with reliable sQcieties who. arrange emigratiQn, and he was sure it WQuld be the means af keeping a gQQd number Qf men aut Qf the warkhQuse. The CQst Qf getting fram LQndQn to. TarQntQ is £8.

Sir Alfred KeQgh said hewQuId be plE\ased' to. secQnd the prQPQsal, and it was carried unanimQusly.

Sir Charles Cuffe said he WQuld like to' ask a. questiQn as to. whether the repQrts Qf the SQciety as published in the Jaurnal were sent to. nQn-subscribers to the JQurnal, Qr whether leaflets were fQrwarded to. them. . - ,

The Secretary infarmed him, in reply; that the CQmmittee repQrts are sent to. the Committee, and the annual reparts are published in the CORPS NEWS; a person who. is nQt a subscriber dQes nQt. get it, but he CQuld buy it fQr 2d. - ,

The Chairman said the next thing to. determine was the mQst cQnvenient place to hQld the annual meetings-the RQyal United Service Institution, fQr which they had to. pay half a guinea, Qr the RQyal Army Medical CQllege. There was a gaQddeal to. be said fQr bQth places, and therefare he WQuld be glad fQr an expressiQn Qf QpiniQn, as frQm the recQrds nQthing appeared to. have been definitely decided Qn this PQint,

Sir'Charles Cuffe thQught the meeting shQuld take place at the RQyal Army Medical CQlIege as it gave the retired afficers, especially, an QPPQrtunity Qf seeing the College. On being put ta'the meeting it was resalved nem con to. hQld the meetings in the Library Qf tbe Royal Army Medical CQlIege.

After a general discussiQn it was decided to. fQrm a sub-c,Qmmittee to. cQnsider and repQrt cn .the erectian Qf memQrials in the Chapel and CQlIege, 'the sub:cQmmittee to. cQnsist Qf: CQIQnel D. WardrQP, C.V.O.; CQlQnel A. Peterkin; Lieutenant-CalQnel E. M, WilsQn, C.B., C.lVLG., D,S.O.' " " '

When the repQrt was presented it was' resQlved that the OQmmittee Qf the Royal Army Medical CQrp Fund shQuld have PQwer to. act. ",

Lieutenant-CQlanel Skinner said that he wQuldlike to. draw attentiQn :tQ the entertaining Qf distinguished guests at the Callege. He did nQt cQnsider that ihil burden Qf the expense shQuld be bQrne sQlely by Qfficers residing in the CQllege at the time, 'and by afficers gQing through the CQllege CQurse Qf instructiQn. It had Qccurred to. him that

it was hardly fair that such a limited number should carry out the duty of the whole Corps, but that all should take their part. The matter was brought up two years ago, and personally he thought that the whole of the Corps would be only too glad to come forward and help the College in carrying out a sbare of its social functions.

Lieutenant Colonel E. O. Wight said he would like to second Colonel Skinner's proposal, but he proposed to go a step further and start a fund which'would not only defray the expenses of individual members who might he entertained, but .also help members of the other outside' messes to take some share of the burden borne by their institutions. He suggested that all officers who are not living in messes, and retired officers, should be invited to subscribe to a general entertainment fund to be managed by a committee.

Colonel Wardrop stated that he did not think the London Mess wanted money to entertain its guests, as the £50 given two 'years ago was almost entirely unspent. Maintenance was not charged up to the full extent allowed by King's Regulations because it would be a very heavy burden; but,officers were charged a fair rate. He further explained that a lot of money would be wanted later on for upkeep and repairs; he also considered that we ought to have much betterplate for the Mess.

Sir Charles Cuffe proposed that a committee be appointed to advise on the whole matter. ' ,

The Chairman said the Mess was in a flourishing condition and was very loyally supported, and everybody in the London District made a point of belonging to it, but Sir Charles Cuffe's suggestion as to forming a committee was a good one, and he submitted it for the consideration of the meeting.

It was then proposed by Sir Charles Cuffe and seconded by Lieutenant-Colonel James that a committee of five be formed, and that all the members be on the active list. This was carried and the following were appointed :-

Commandant Royal Army Medical College (Chairman). Representatives of Woolwich, Aldershot, and Netley Messes. A junior officer recently home from India. Lieutenant-Colonel Blenkinsop to act as Secretary.

. At the termination of business of the meeting the Chairman took the opportunity of giving a brief sketch of the CORPS JOURNAL both as to its finances and circulation.
