MEDICAL INSTRUCTIONS TO PERSONNEL ON LEAVE IN CANADA 1. Personnel on leave or pass or otherwise absent from their parent unit who require medical attention are to report to the nearest R.C.A.F. Medical Officer. In eases of urgency when the services of an R.C-A.F. Medical Officer are not available, report to: (a) An R.C.A.M.C. Medical Officer, (b) A Medical Officer of the Dept. of Pensions and National Health, or (c) A civilian medical practitioner, in that order. 2. When it is necessary to call in other than an R.C.A.F. Medical Officer, arrangements are to be made to notify the R.C.A.F. Medical Officer, if one is located in the vicinity, in order that he may assume charge of the ease. Immediate action is also to be taken to notify the indivi- dual’s Commanding Officer in the event that the illness is of serious nature and likely to delay reporting to the unit on termination of Le: | accounts for attendance upon personnel on leave rendered by civilian hospitals or civilian practitioners are to be forwarded in triplicate to the nearest administrat centre of the Dept. of Pensions and National Health for payment. Personnel who, while on leave, are in contact with a case of infectious disease are, on the termination of their leave, to report to their Station Medical Officer before they enter any barrack block, mess or other building on station,LESSEE iy WiLLS ‘ 1. The particulars of the next-of-kin should always be carefully inserted in the Form on page 1 of this Book, but the Officer or Airman must understand that the entries made there have no legal effect with respect to the dis position of his estate in the event of his death and there- fore do not relieve him from the necessity of making a Will Unless an Officer or Airman duly makes a Will, his estate is dealt with in the same manner as that of any other person who dies without leaving a Will, and not only may tho relative or person desired or intended to be benefited receive little or no share of the estate but the distribution thereof is dolayed until such of the next-of-kin as may be legally entitled can be located. Therefore, though his estate may consist of no assets other than the amount of pay and allow- ances at credit and the belongings he has on his person or in camp, it is urgent that he make a Will which, when com- pleted, is left with his Commanding Officer for transmidgion to the Records Office for safe custody and in the event of his death is forwarded firstly, to the E’states Branch, Depart ment of National Defence, Ottawa, for administration and distribution of the Service estate, and secondly, if other assets (including real estate) mako it necessary, to tho Exeeutor named in the Will 2. The Officer's or Airman's Will should preferably be made out on the Will Porm—R.C.A.P. R. 60 (English) or R.C.A.F. R. 60A, (French)—provided for that purpose and on which are also printed. number of helpful instructions. ‘These Forms are obtained through the Commanding Officer of each Unit. A separate sheet of paper may be used but in such case the general form of the Will as shown in the Form R.C.AE, R. 60 or R. GOA. should be carefully followed. The Officer or Airman will date the Will and at the bottom of it sign his name in the presence witnesses who at the same time in the presence of other and of the Officer or Airman will also sign their respec- five names. If the Officer or Airman cannot write, he will make his mark in the place in the Will where his signature ~ would ordinarily appear, and immediately above their signatures on the Will the witnesses will write a memoran- dum as follows:—‘The above Will has been first duly and audibly read over to this Officer or Airman when he appeared to understand it and made his mark hereto in our presence as aforesaid”. In such cases, however, it is recommended that the guidance of the Officer's or Airman’s immediate superior Officer be obtained. 3, ‘The Short Form of Will (see paxes'15 and 16 of this Book) may be used by an Officer or Airman on Active Ser- vice but it must be entirely in his own handwriting. It is jointed out, however, that under the laws of some of the Provinces of Canada, such a Will is ineffective as to real estate. Therefore an Officer or Airman having a Canadian domicile and owning real estate should use the Will Form R.C.A.F, R. 60 or R. 60A., and appoint therein a responsible executor. An Officer or Airman having a domicile out of Canada should not use the Short Form on page 16 because it may not comply with the law of such domicile. 4, No person who receives any benefit under a Will can be a witness. If a person to whom an Officer or Airman tends to give any part of his estate is a witness of the Will, ‘ho will not be allowed to receive the intended gift, Hemay, however, be appointed an executor. 5. When making a Will it is not desirable that altcrations be made in it. If, however, alterations are made by the Officer or Airman in his Will, he and the two witnesses must write their initials in the margin opposite the alterations. Any changes in the provisions of a previously made Will can always be made by a new document called a Codicil which should refer to the previously made Will and then state the changes desired, and be dated and signed and witnessed in the same manner as the Will itself. 6. A completely new Will can at any time be made and in such ease it revokes, or cancels, any Will of earlier date. ‘The laws of all the Provinces of Canada except one, and of most English speaking countries provide that marriage after tho date of a Will revokes that Will, Therefore, an Officer or Airman, immediately upon his marriage, should make a new Will in order that, in the event of his death, his estate may be distributed in accordance with his wishes as shown in his Will. 7. The Will of an Officer or Airman on Active Service is not invalid by reason that ut the date it was made he was under the age of 21 years.An Officer or Airman who has made a Will before his enlisiment, is recommended to inform his Com~ manding Officer where such Will has been deposited and the Commanding Officer shall upon receipt of such information forthwith complete the following certificate and despatch the same to the R.C.A.P. Records Officer.

It must be entirely in his own handwriting and must be signed by him and dated. The full names and addresses of the persons whom he desires to bene- fit, and the sum of money or the articles of property which he desires to leave to them, must be clearly stated.

W. Gladstone, GUELPH, Ontario. Dear Sir: Our son F/Lt. BE. G. Aitchison, J$387, R.C.A.F. was killed in action on March 31st. of this year. He had been married on Feb. 7 to Nursing Sister F/O Bronwen M. Morgan of Carmarthen, Wales. Both had gone all through the African campaign. After this was finished, he instructed at Cairo for 6 months, then was given a furlough home, arriving May 15, 1944. She was on active duty at #3 Hospital, Palestine. After his months' leave at home, he went Overseas again. Took a further course on Spitfire Fighter Bombers and was posted to 403 Sq. 127 Wing. Was almost through his second tour of operations when he crashed in the Ruhr pocket. He was the only one we had. He had been Overseas since Nov. 2kth, 1941. We feel that we would like very very much if his wife could be released from the R.A.F. to come to Canada. She 1s anxious to come as soon as she can but her release is in the hands of the Ministry of Labour over there. She has been in the R.A.F. since some months before the war and has a wonderful record of great ability and devotion to duty. In a recent letter, she spoke as if she might be sent to the Far Kast. We understand that if our son had been coming back, there would have been no trouble in having his wife released to come home with him. Her present address is: Nursing Sister, M.B. Aitchison R.A.F. Hospital Inneworth, Gloucester, England Anything you can do to help us, in this connection would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you. I remain, Yours very sincerely, (Sgd.) J.A. Aitchison, (per L.A.)J. A. AITCHISON ELORA, Ontario, Nov. 21, 1945, Mr. R. We Gladstone, House of Commons, Ottawa, Canada. Dear Sir: F/LT, E.G. AITCHISON, J.8387 We received a letter today from Grant's wife who is still at her home in Wales, awaiting transportation to Canada. As she has been in the R.A.F. as a Nursing Sister since May, 1939, we feel she should be a Priority Case. We do not want to make a nuisance of ourselves to you, as you have been most helpful, but we would like her here and we think,maybe, if you wrote again, you might speed things up. Your first letter seemed to start things off at once, but the R.C.A.F. seems to have forgotten, If you think it advisable, would you contact the R.C.A.F. again? Grant certainly did his bit and Bronwen has done more than most girls. As Grant isn't coming back, we feel that we are not asking too much to have her come in his place. Thanking you very sincerely for past favors, I remain, Yours truly, (Sgd.) J.

Tn Group Lare those related to the “Immediate Cause” of death, and in Group IL, those not causally related thereto. In most eases a statement of cause under Group I will suffice. Detailed certification is not desired, the entry of 2 single cause being preferable in all cases where this can be regarded as adequate (see Example I), but where the physician finds it necessary to record more than one cause it is important that these he stated in the position provided on the form as indicative of their mutual relationship, ‘This information is sought so that the selection of the cause for tabulation may be made in the light of the cortifier’s viewpoint:— (a) Name first the “Immediate Cause” of death, i.e. the disease, injury or complication which caused death (not mode of dying or terminal condition). (b) Then give other morbid conditions (if any) of which it was the consequence, in order of causal relationship (due to) stating the most recent one first und then others in order. (c) Entries under Group II should be reserved for “other important contributory morbid conditions” in those inst particularly in yhich death was due to a combination of maladies, none of which would have been fatal alone. In such cases tl ian’s judgment, alone can afford guidance to the tabulator. r (@) Use always accepted terms for morbid conditions and never record mere symptoms. (ec) Maternal Deaths.—Qualify all diseases resulting from childbirth, miscarriage or abortion by the word “Puerperal”, eg., pu ral septicaemia. Distinguish between septicaemia originating in abortion and in childbirth, e Br Ruse (©) Cancer.—In all cases the organ or part first affected should be specified. (g) Violent Deaths.—Coroners, medical examiners and physicians who certify to deaths from violent causes should always clearly indicate the fundamental distinction of whether the death was due to accident, stiicide, or homicide, and then state the manner and nature of injury. The ci vances of each accident should be stated as fully as possible, c.g., an automobile accident should always be designated as such. ‘The following examples illustrate the essential principles in the use of the form.

STILLBIRTH “4 dead-birth (stillbirth) is the birth of a (viable) foetus, after at least twenty-eight weeks pregnancy, in which pulmonary respiration does not oceur; such a foetus may die either: (a) before, (b) during or (c) after birth, but before it has breathed. The special stillbirth registration form (buff coloured) must be used in registering a stillbirth.
