  5. …. AND SO DOES ST JOHN St John has over 900 years of history So just imagine all the interesting and exciting things that make up its history All this makes St John a unique organisation and one that you should be proud to be part of

  6. The Blessed Gerard founded the Order of St John, a religious group who cared for the sick and injured Pilgrims in Jerusalem. The Hospitaller Brothers did most of the nursing and caring for the injured while the Hospitaller Sisters spent most of the time in prayer. The Hospital grew to over 2000 beds and there was still shortages so the rather than turning Pilgrims away the Hospitallers gave up their beds and slept on the floor.

  7. The Hospitallers take on a military as Knights during the Crusades (war between the Christians and Muslims for the Holy land)

  8. The Hospitallers come to Britain and the priory of Clerkenwell, London is founded

  9. All Christian forces, including the Hospitallers are driven from Palestine, Jerusalum. The Orders new headquarters are located in Cyprus

  10. During the Middle ages, the Order of St John was very rich and powerful. The Prior at the time, Robert Hales, was also part of the government as a Treasurer. The Prior introduced poll tax which was hated by the peasants leading to the revolt. The previous St John’s Gate was burnt down in 1381 during the Peasants Revolt. Also Robert Hales head was cut off The newly rebuilt St John’s Gate in London is reopened after being burnt down in the Peasants Revolt in 1381.

  11. The Hospitallers move their headquarters to Malta. Brothers of the Order nursing in the Hospital in Malta, while doctors examine patients. From the Verdala Statutes, 1588.

  12. King Henry VIII dissolved the Order of St John in England, taking all their land and property. This was caused by a struggle between the King and the Pope about who controlled religion

  13. The Siege of Malta started Roughly 500 Knights and the Maltese defended the island against the large Turkish army of over 25000

  14. Napoleon drove the Hospitallers from their headquarters in Malta After this the headquarters returned to Jerusalem, where they originally started

  15. St John Ambulance Association was founded At the time many people worked in mines which were very dangerous places due to underground explosions, floods and collapsed tunnels. This lead to thousands of deaths and injuries every year. St John Ambulance was the first organisation to train workers in first aid so they could help each other quickly after accidents Illustration of a stretcher being used in a mining accident, 1893

  16. St John Ambulance Brigade was formed This is when St John started to have the main role that we are familiar with today, by providing first aid cover • 130th Field Ambulance 28th (Welsh) division, Welsh Army Corps, who served in World War One

  17. St John Cadets were formed Since then cadets have done everything from winning the George Cross for bravery and cooking the worlds biggest sausage. Rochdale cadets in 1923, just after cadets were formed

  18. Badgers were formed. Badgers are aged between 5-10. They have a programme that covers absolutely everything, so they learn a wide range of skills that are not just first aid. Badgers work towards the SUPER BADGER AWARD
