Air Raid Precautions.
The time will come, no doubt, when the work done by the
various A.R.P. services will be duly recorded. It must suffice here to
say that during the year the members of the casualty service had their
first experience of the " real thing " and, as was confidently expected,
acquitted themselves with courage and efficiency.
My personal thanks are due to the Medical Officers in charge of
First Aid Posts and Mobile Unit, Drs. Bell, Walker, Anderson,
Matland, Roberts and Voller, the latter also for his training of the
stretcher parties, Mrs. Hawkey, as Ambulance Officer, the Sisters in
charge of First Aid Posts and Mobile Unit, Mrs. Platten, Miss Bishop,
Mrs. Kearney, Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Ashwell, and to Mr. Brooman,
the supervisor of the stretcher parties, for their unfailing help at all
times. L.S.F.
