ROYAL ARMY MEDICAL' CORPS . FUND. PROCEEDINGS OF A COMMITTEE MEETING HELD AT, THE WAR OFFICE ON

THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1915, AT 3 P.M.

Surgeon-General H. W. Russell in the chair. Colonel Sir James Clark, C.B., Bart. Colonel A. Peterkin. Colonel E. ·Butt. Major W. R. Blackwell. Captain W. Benson. (1) The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. . (2) The grants received from companies for the General Relief Fund during 1914

were noted, and a list is appended to. these Proceedings. Colonel Sir James Clark drew attention to the fact that· some districts which subscribed least received the largest amounts in grants from the Fund for their destitute. The Secretary was desired to send reminders frequently to officers commanding districts with a view of increasing the income of the Fund. . ~

(3) The grants made to companies from the General Relief Fund for the past halfyear were considered and approved, and a'list of recipients is attached hereto.

(4) 'The following position which has been adopted since the War commenced, for the distribution of relief, was considered, approved and adopted by the Comniittee. All cases of distress in the Corps attributable to the War should be referred to the local ."ommittees of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Families Association, and the General Relief Fund should be utilized, for the present, solely for cases of distress in the Corps unconnected with the War or which are ineligible for assistance elsewhere.

(5) It was noted that a sum of £42 has been received for the General Relief Fund from the Glasgow Town and Country Medical Club; and this money is to be specially earmarked for .cases of distress caused ~y the War.

(6) . The questiou of continuing assistance (rom the General Relief Fund to girl Hilda McDonnell after she attains the age of 16 was considered; the Secretary was instructed to find out her prospects of ever becoming a successful pupil teacher and is to act on the report. ,

(7) On the proposal of Sir James Clark, seconded by Oolonel Peterkin, it was decided to continue to pay the Bandmaster's salary of £10 a month for the present, the subject to be again considered at the next meeting. Approval was also given for the payment of 1s. a day to Serjeant Smith for looking after the band instruments.~

COMFORTS REPORT. (8) As several ladies of the Oorps at the beginning of the War were advertising

for comforts for the R.A.M.O. at the front, .Surgeon-General Sir Arthur Sloggett thought it would be best to have a Central Committee of ladies in 'London to collect and distribute the comforts to all the units at the front.

A Committee was formed of the wives of the Surgeon-Generals on the active list residing in or near London, with Lady Sloggett as President.

Sir Arthur Sloggett asked Lieutenant-Colonel Harris to assist in organizing the scheme: he therefore arranged for the Committee to have the use of a room at the' College for receiving and packing the goods, he also advanced money from the R.A.M.C. Fund to cover the initial expenses of the Committee, such as advertising, etc.; this ID0ney has since been refunded by the Comfort Committee.

Th'e Comfort Committee has received about £550 in money and a large quantity of comforts in kind; over 200 packages have already been despatched to units at the front.

(9) The accounts for 1914 were considered and passed, and are attached to these proceedings. . ,

(10) It was 'decided to defer further discussion on the publication of Colonel Johnston's book until such time as the Committee shall hear from the executors.

(11) The question of a subscription to the Army Athletic Association was postponed. (12) The casting of the votes by the Secretary at the last election of candidates for

the Royal School for Officers' Daughters was approved.

OBITUARY .. OOLONEL WILLIAM JOHNSTON, O.B.

COLONEL W. JOHNSTON died very suddenly on January 26, aged 71. He was born .at 36, Bon-accord Terrace, Aberdeen, on April 16, 1843, being the son of Mr. Robed Johnston, merchant and shipowner, Aberdeen. Oolonel Johnston belonged to a very, well-known family in Aberdeenshire, and was heir-presumptive to the baronetcy of Johnston of Oaskiebem. He was educated at the Marischal Oollege, Aberdeen, and ;graduated M. A. in 1863; His medical studies were completed at Edinburgh, and he received the M.D. in 1865, being commended for his thesis. Colonel Johnston entered the Service on October 2, 1865, as a Staff Assistant Surgeon. On October 19, 1872, he was appointed Assistant Surgeon to the' 78th (Seaforth) Highlanders, and became Surgeon in the ,Army Medical Department on the abolition of, the regimental medical system on March 1, 1873. He was promoted Surgeon-Majol;' in October, 1877, SurgeonLieutenant-Colonel in October, 1885, and Brigade Surgeon Lieutenant·ColoneY in J'anuary, 1892. He tretired . from the Army in August, 1892. Oolonel Johnston was twice on active service in South Africa. During the operations' against ,Sekukuni' in the Transvaal in 1878 he served as Senior Medical Officer, and was present at thelstorming of Toyana's Stadt. In the Zulu War of 1879 he was Senior Medical Officer of the column under Colonel Rowland on the Swazie border; and was in charge of the field hospital with Colonel Baker Russell's force in the operations against Seknkuni in 1879. For these services he was mentioned in despatches, and Ireceived the medal and clasp. He al~o commanded a bearer company in the Boer Campaign of 1881. An interesting account of the work of this company, at that time quite 'a new unit, was written by Colonel J ohnston, and published in the J'OURNAL OF THE ROYAL ARMY MEDICAL CORPS, vo!. xvii. '

From 1882 to 1888 Colonel Johnston served in the War Office as Staff Officer of the MeQ.ical Staff Oorps, and from 1888 to 1891 he commanded the depot and training school of the Medical Staff 'Corps at· Aldershot. In both these appointments he displayed marked administrative ability: his personal charm and great enthusiasm for the Corps must be well remembered by many officers now serving, who had the privilege of commencing their military career under his regime. The affection and esprit de corps which he inspired will J?ever be forgotten. , ' During the South African War, 1899.1902, Colonel Johnston was gazetted Assistant Director-General at the War Office, a unique distinction' for an officer on retired pay, and in recognition of his services he ~as created a C.B. and promoted Colonel in 1902.

Colonel J ohnston always took a great interest in the status of the Corps, and it was ·mainly through his indefatigable exertions that medical officers received substantive rank. On his retirement in 1892 he took up his residence in Newton Dee, Aberdeen, and devoted his leisure to literary work and to the charitable institutions of his native town.

Colonel Johnston was a most industrious and active worker and historical investigations had a great fascination for him. He compiled a number of valuable bpoks on genealogical and bibliographical subjects, principally for private distribution. In 1908 the degree ofLL.D:was conferred on him by the Aberdeen University in recognition of the services he had rendered to the University. .

At the time of his death Colonel J6hnston was engaged on a history of the Medical Service. He had access to all official records, and Ilis task was nearing completion when his sudden death brought his labours to a close. It is hoped that this work will not be lost to the Service, and that a successor '.vill.be found to complete the book on which he had spent years of loving thought and labour.
