A memorial service for those who fell in the war was held at St. Bride’s Church, Fleet Street, on Friday, 21 March, 1919. The decorations gained in the war were as follow :— D.S.O ... 1 Medaille Militaire 2 M.C. 10 Legion of Honour 1 D.S.M. . 4 Croix de Guerre 2 D.C.M. . 8 Italian War Medal 1 M.M. 25 Russian Order of St. Ann 1 M.S.M.I. 1 Chevalier de l’Ordre de Leopold 2 Royal Red Cross 5 Mentioned in despatches 13 Royal Humane Society Medal 1 Of the above a Croix de Guerre and a Military Medal were won by nursing sisters. Remuneration. 3. Questions of pay have occupied much time and attention, and substantial increases have been awarded to all grades of the staff The war bonuses paid have largely followed the precedents set by the Government. Rationing-. 4. Next to pay, the difficulties of rationing have called for attention. The administrative measures mentioned in the last report have been continued and extended, and the result has been a convincing proof of the advantage of central control and government in matters of this kind. The Committee who dealt with the matter have made a report of their operations for the year, from which we extract the following paragraphs :— Our work during the first year (1917) was not seriously affected by the introduction of voluntary rationing; in fact, it is probably true to say that it was easier to carry out the system of voluntary rationing in the Board’s institutions
