some pride to the manner in which the personnel, both full-time
and part-time, of the Casualty Services had responded to the
exhausting experiences throughout the War years. In 1945, until
the 2nd May, one First Aid Post at Imperial College of Science
Pavilion, East Lane, a Mobile First Aid Unit stationed at Kingsbury
Manor Studio, and 2 Ambulance Depots (one at Barham
Park, the other at Kingsbury Manor Studio) remained in action.
The personnel attached to these Services were:— Ambulance staff
full-time 40, part-time 83, First Aid Post staff full-time 30, parttime
125. By the 25th May both the First Aid Posts (one static,
one mobile) had been closed and 'their equipment transferred to
the Palace of Arts while the Ambulance Depots ceased as a
Civil Defence Unit at 31st May.
It can now be recorded that all members of the staff of this
Department have returned from their War service with the
exception of Mr. D. A. Dowie who is still reported missing after
having been taken prisoner in the North African Campaign.
The staff has been much strengthened by the return of these
officers and the Department looks forward to assisting the
Council to carry out their Post-War programme with zeal and, we
shall endeavour, with efficiency. I wish personally to thank the
Council for the way in which our services have always been
appreciated.
I have the honour to be, Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
A. G. MORISON,
Medical Officer of Health.
14th August, 1946.
