The list runs throughout in two columns, one for 1891-1945 (taken from JCHR/1/9) and one for 1946-1979 (first headed by Freddy 1946-196-, but later altered on the title page by Muriel). A note on the title page says it excludes "those admitted before 1946 who were known to have died before this list was begun or during its compilation". There is also a list of abbreviations, and an indication that women's names are written in red. Where deaths are noted, the relevant entries have been crossed through. These covering dates are those of the information included. 1891-1979

The original intention was to lay out the list in two columns, one for 1900-1960 and one for 1961 onwards. A pencil note at the head of the first page suggests they may have been altered to cover 1920-1980 and 1981-2004, but it seems that entries were not consistently added as late as 2004. A note on the titlle page states that the list excludes "those known to have died before this list was begun or during its compilation." There is also a list of abbreviations, and an indication that women's names are written in red. Where deaths are noted, the relevant entries have been crossed through.
