EASTER GREETINGS TO RUSSIAN ARMY. To foster comradeship and mutual good feeling between the Medical Services of

the two Armies Easter Greetings were sent early this month to the medical officers of the Russian Army.

The Greetings took the form of cards and were accompanied by a letter from Sir Alfred Keogh to the Director-General of the Russian Army.

The cards were double and were similar to those in ordinary use at Christmas time in this country. On the front page the Corps Crest was reproduced in gold and silver and, crossed below, the British and Russian National Flags in colours. On an inner page the following was inscribed :-

"The Director-General and the Officers of the Medical Services of the British Army send hearty greetings to their Comrades in the Medical Services of the Russian Army.

"Easter, 1916." The card was held together by a. knot of ribbon of the Corps colours.

LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR-GENERAL.

To THE PRINCIPAL ARMY MEDICAL INSPECTOR, IMPERIAL RUSSIAN ARMY. DEAR Sm,-The Officers of the Royal Army Medical Corps of the British Army

have expressed a wish to send their heartiest Easter Greetings to their comrades of the Russian Army Medical Service, and they have requested me to convey to them through you their expressions of esteem and admiration of the work which they have so nobly carried out during the progress of the War.

As a small mark of the deep sympathy between the two Medical Services, we are sending you to-day some Easter cards for transmission to the hospitals and other
