It gives me great pleasure again to submit a report on the activities
of this Association for the year ending December, 1944.
I have reason to be justly proud of the services undertaken by a wartime
depleted staff of nurses.
A very generous contribution to this excellent work was made again
by the Civil Defence nurses and British Red Cross personnel attached to
the South-West Essex Technical College. Ve are very grateful to all these
nurses who give of their own time in many instances. The standard of
