註釋This book is the first official, complete, annotated listing of NSW members of the Venerable Order of St John 1895-2017, Queen Victoria's prestigious Royal Order of Chivalry. St John Ambulance training began in NSW in 1881. A state branch of the St John Ambulance Association started in 1890; the St John Ambulance Brigade in 1900. By that time NSW had six members of the Order. By 1905, five Australians were Knights of the Order, all of them from NSW. From 1942 NSW played a key leadership role nationally through Sir Hugh Poate, Australia's first Bailiff Grand Cross. Membership of the Order is prestigious and rare, and mostly includes first-aiders operating within the traditions established by the Association training arm of St John and by the active-response Brigade. Their achievements are a fitting reflection of the ideals of medieval chivalric self-sacrifice which continue to inspire and inform St John activity world-wide today.
