Whipps Cross Hospital.
Removal of patients is carried out by ambulances attached to
the Hospital.
St. John Ambulance Brigade.
Mr. V. G. Turner, Divisional Superintendent, kindly contributes
the following report:—
"Although we have not had as many members return to us
from the Forces as we hoped for, active members have carried
out their obligations in a very satisfactory manner. Public duties
and Training Nights have been well attended. Many of our
members are on shift' work and staggered hours, but in spite
of this have given a good many hours' service. Apart from local
duties, several London duties have been undertaken, and we were
able to supply 14 members for the Royal Wedding. During the
Autumn we ran a home nursing class for members, with very
good results. Only those who had attended all the lectures were
allowed to take the examination, and we had 100 per cent.
passes."
