TREASURES FROM THE PAST
The venerable order of Hato Hone
THE LATE 19th century posed
considerable challenges for the
British Colony of New Zealand
in terms of basic healthcare and
especially emergency care for its
volunteer militias and military
forces.
In response to a request from
the Lyttelton Naval Artillery
Volunteers in September 1883,
Drs Hacon and Robinson from
Ōtautahi Christchurch, in collaboration
with Dr Tweed from
Ōhinehou Lyttelton, presented
their first lecture on ambulance
drill kits in the Lyttelton drill
hall.
The instruction was well
received by the Lyttelton Navals,
who paraded with officially sanctioned
Geneva crosses and requisite
medical equipment such as
stretchers, bandages, and splints.
The Lyttelton Navals would go
on to distinguish themselves in
future military parades with respect
to their well-equipped and
staffed ‘ambulance wagon’.
Dr Walter Hacon, a distinguished
honorary member of
the United Kingdom’s St John
Ambulance Association, had a
seminal role in pioneering ambulance
work in New Zealand,
having instructed the North
Island’s Armed Constabulary as
early as 1881.
This role established St John’s

YUMMI
study.

The role of cow, goat or sheep milk in
the nutrition and health of older women.
Milk provides important nutrients that help older people to maintain
muscle and bone health, and low milk intake is often associated with
poor nutrition in older adults.
We are looking for female volunteers aged 60 to 80 years to participate
in the YUMMI study, a 12-week research study investigating the health
effects of consuming different types milk – cow, goat, or sheep.
We will provide you with cow, goat or sheep milk powder to drink
twice a day for 12-weeks, or you will be asked to eat your normal diet
(control group). The time commitment for the study will be about 11
hours and you will attend five clinic visits. You will receive up to $220 in
supermarket vouchers in recognition of the actual or reasonable costs
involved with participating in this study (e.g. parking and/or travel costs).
If you are a woman aged 60 to 80 years and can drink milk, we would
love to hear from you.

growing contributions to
Aotearoa New Zealand’s health
infrastructure. The Ōtepoti
Dunedin branch formed the
first St John Ambulance Brigade
in 1892, closely followed by its
launch of the inaugural St John
Nursing Division in 1895. By
1905, after just 20 years, New
Zealand was home to nearly half
of all St John divisions in the
British Commonwealth outside
the UK.
