• For the Lifesaving Badge for the British group: The Boys Brigade:
  The BB became affiliated to the Royal Life Saving Society in 1913 and by 1914 a Life Saving Badge was introduced. On the union with the BLB in 1927 the centre was changes to the double "B" motif to bring it in line with the rest of the proficiency awards. An Intermediate Swimming Certificate was required plus a Royal Life Saving Society test. Until 1959 resuscitation used the Schafer method and then until 1964 the Holger Nielson method. Following this mouth to nose and mouth to mouth methods were used.

• Over the next two centuries various artificial ventilatory techniques were tested during resuscitation, including the use of bellows, rolling the victim over a barrel, or positioning the victim on a trotting horse. Perhaps the most commonly used and effective artificial ventilation techniques were those that were popular both in the United States and Europe in the early 1900s.
  
  These included several manual methods of ventilation (eg, Sch�fer's prone-pressure method and the Holger-Nielsen method)24 (Fig 1). With many of these techniques the patient was placed in a prone position (perhaps favoring an open airway); pressure was then rhythmically applied to and released from the posterior chest and back while the patient's arms were lifted cyclically. By 1953 at least 105 published articles described methods for artificial resuscitation of adults; 12 articles discussed resuscitation of children.25 During the first half of the 20th century these so-called "manual" techniques were endorsed and taught by the Red Cross and commonly used by lifeguards, the military, and Boy Scouts.
