Hi Kelly, I beat you by one year - 1947. Where were your family stationed? I think mine were at Idle but not really sure. I was a bit young at the time!! Welcome to Rootschat.My parents were stationed at Pendlebury when I was born.R.
I found my information through looking at Kelly's DirectoryOne does wonder what possibly could be "classified" if the same inforamtion is listed in the Kelly's Directory!
My own particular instance was to get as much as I could about an ancestor who was a prominent bandmaster at Regent Hall so I wrote to the SA Heritage Centre at 117 Judd St. London in 1995 and they sent me a whole wealth of photocopies of 'The Bandsman' and 'The Songster' dating back to June 1910 which carried articles about him which,at times,included details of the death of his wife and subsequent remarriage and names of his children which I just would not have obtained at that time from any other source.I congratulate you that you were able to get this information. When I have made enquiries of Salvation Army centres in a certain locality I was advised to contact my local Salvation Army and in any case they would not release the information as it was deemed to be classified. I found my information through looking at Kelly's Directory, but it was a lot more general that what you were seeking.
The SA is a quite large organization and it is imortant to get your email message to the correct department.
The easiest way to do this is via this link;
