MRS. APPENNEA GREEN, of Clapham, who died at the beginning of August, at the age of 82, was one of the most enthusiastic and successful honorary secretaries whom the Institution has ever had. She started the Clapham Branch in 1931, with a collection of £5.

In 1942 the branch raised over £600.

In that year she retired on account of ill-health. Mrs. Green, like Mr. Liggins, received all the awards which the Institution can make: the life-boatman's statuette in 1935, the gold badge and record of thanks in 1936 and an honorary life-governorship in 1938..
