As regards finance, the groups made it a point of honour to collect funds to meet all local expenses, and it was only on rare occasions that help was demanded of Berne. The usual machinery, such as bazaars, subscriptions, etc., was set in motion at each centre with satisfactory results, and in the main the funds so collected sufficed for all needs, a fact which speaks well for the generosity of the public, both British and Swiss. Lady Rumbold took over the Presidency from Lady Grant Duff in September, 1916, and assumed direction for the duration of the war. Both ladies would, I believe, like me to place on record the names of the Group Presidents, on whom the success of the enterprise so much depended. Their wives in most cases undertook the work of management:— BERNE Monsieur de Muralt (Central Group). MONTREUX Mr. and Mrs. Marcel Cuenod. VEVEY Lieut.-Colonel and Mrs. Gillespie. LAUSANNE Mr. and Mrs. Galland. GENEVA Monsieur and Madame de Candolle. ZÜRICH (1914) Sir Henry Angst. (1915-17) Sir Cecil Hertzlett. (1917-18) Mr. and Mrs. Beak; Miss Mackie, Hon. Secretary. LUCERNE Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Stronge, Mrs. Hauser. LUGANO (1914) Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton. (1916) Colonel and Mrs. Boileau. BÂLE (1914) Mr. Hamblock. (1915-17) Mr. and Mrs. Beak. (1917) Mr. and Mrs. Mathews. ST. GALL Mr. Hurdwyn Gastrell. NEUCHÂTEL (1914) Monsieur et Madame Chable. (1916) Monsieur Favre; Miss Wright, Hon. Secretary. DAVOS Mr. and Mrs. Lockett. ST. MORITZ Dr. and Mrs. Holland. I should also like to add the names of my wife, who, as Hon. Treasurer, organized the Financial Department at Berne as well as the Supply Depôt for the Interned; Comtesse de Montigny, in charge of the Clothing Department, 1915-1917, and succeeded, later, by the late Mrs. Cook Daniels and Lady Beatrix Wilkinson; Viscountess St. Cyres, in charge of the "orders" Department, 1917-1918; and my daughter, who was Hon. Secretary, 1916-1918, until her departure. A "Special Branch," as an adjunct to the "B.L.R.C.O.," was founded in May, 1916, to deal with the requirements of officers and men about to be interned in Switzerland, the original Committee being composed of Lady Grant Duff, The Lady Acton, Mrs. Picot (Hon. Treasurer), Mrs. Wyndham, Mrs. Barton, Mrs. Trench, Mrs. Harran, Miss R. Picot (Hon. Secretary), and myself as President.
