Salvation Army, Elmswell.
« on: Monday 17 November 14 18:26 GMT (UK) »
Hi I am trying to research early Salvation Army groups in the Elmswell, Suffolk area. I have some info for Norton, (from their web site) which has survived and is thriving. Has anyone any info about early 'soldiers' from their families? I believe there was a group at Badwell Ash. Any info for groups about up to 10 miles away would be most helpful.

May I add, Officers were appointed to Elmswell in 1886 and from the War Cry of 12th March 1887 it mentions a Captain and Mrs Hawes as being there.

I thought I may make one further appeal for help as I have had no response in over five years.

The expressions on their faces are the ones that I can remember when they came into pubs in the 1970s selling War Cry, thankfully now they are far more friendly and do a very good job.
