RETIRING AGE AND PENSIONS. Members of these Services may retire voluntarily at the age of 50 years, or after 20 years' service, and must retire at the age of 55 years, or on account of disability. Retired pay is issuable on retirement after ten years' service. Service with the original Army Nursing Service, the Army Nursing Reserve, or the Q.A.I.M.N.S. Nursing Reserve (in the case of the military families' nurses) or mobilised service with the T.A.N.S. or service of not less than two years with the V.A.D. during the great war can be counted towards retiring pay. Retiring pay is at the rate of £3 a year for each year of service, with a maximum of £55 for a staff nurse and £105 for sister-in-charge. Slightly higher ailowances are granted to matrons, etc. TERRITORIAL ARMY NURSING SERVICE. The basic staff numbers in this service are never published. PERSONNEL. One Matron-in-Chief. Twenty-three principal matrons located as follows: Four in London, two in Glasgow, one in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Newcastle-on-Tyne, Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool, Lincoln, Leicester, Birmingham, Oxford, Cambridge, Cardiff, Bristol, Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Brighton.

RETIRING AGE. A matron is required to retire at the age of 60 years, or earlier if she relinquishes her civil appointment. A sister or staff nurse is required to retire at the age of 55 or earlier should she have given up nursing for two years, but, subject to the age of retirement, will be eligible for re-admission if she again takes up nursing work.
