ROYAL ARMY MEDIOAL OORPS OENTRAL MESS FUND.
THE following letter has been sent to officers of the Corps by the Chairman of the Committee
of the Royal Central Mess Fund, and is published for general information : DEAR SIR,-The Committee desire to bring to your notice the existence of the Royal Army
Medical Corps Central Mess Fund.
The general functions of the Fund are to help in the proper upkeep of the permanent Messes
of the Corps, by means of both money grants and loans, and to give grants to make the initial
outlay required to provide camp mess kit in Commands and Districts for the use of Medical Units
taking part in mancenvres, etc.
During the past five years the Fund has been of special assistance to the Messes which were
hard hit by war conditions. More than £1,400 has already been paid to Messes in grants and
loans during the current year.
The personal advantages to officers subscribiug to the Fund are that they are relieved of the
payment of all joining contributions, and further promotion contributions, to permanent Messes,
such contributions being paid by the Fund.
At present the permanent R.A.M.C. Messes are located in London, Aldershot, Netley,
Woolwich, CurraghCamp, Cosham and at the R.A.M.C. Depot, Tweseldown Camp, Aldershot; in
India, at Bangalore, LucknolV, Peshawar and Rawal Pindi. As the joining contributions'to these
vary from two to four days' pay at home, and somewhat less in India, it is obvious that there is
a great financial advantage in becoming a snbscriberto the Fund at once, more especially when
it is realized that all officers joining the Corps in normal times have to jein the Mess at both
Millbank and Tweseldown Camp, after which they are liable to be posted to one of the other
large stations with a Mess.
The Committee consider that as the Central Mess Fund is now an established institution of
the Oorps, it is most desirable that it should have your support. Before the war, four-fifths of
the officers of the Corps subscribed to it. Notices have been sent out from time to time, to all
those who have joined since, but in many cases no doubt these have not reached them. I would
point out that officers frequently complain that they have not been acquainted with .the benefit
acquired by joining the Fund; I trust, therefore, that you will not disregard this letter, and that
if you wish further particulars you will write at once to the Hon. Secretary, R.A.M.C. Oentral
Mess Fund, Capt. J. T. Clapham, 3, Homefield Road, Wimbledon, London, S. W. 19.
Should you desire to become a subscriber to the Fund, would you kindly complete the enclosed
banker's order and send it direct to your agents.
In case you may have already paid a· joining contribution to any of the above-mentioned
Messes, the snm so paid should be deducted from the entrance fee mentioned on the order, and
an explanatory note sent to the Hon. Secretary addressed as above.
B.A.M.C. Depot,
Yours faithfully,
Tweseldown Camp,
P. DAVIDSON, Lieut.-Col.,
