He thinks he may have ministered in Newcastle because that's where they had their honeymoon. Their reception apparently was at Central Station in Sydney -a very swish restaurant back then. Who knew? I am now really eager to keep following this Salvation Army trail. My father thought it a brooch but I'm thinking embroidery too.Alex Dawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083753053051713061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-49881461561481992842013-02-17T14:05:10.095+10:002013-02-17T14:05:10.095+10:00'The Salvation Army was founded in London'...'The Salvation Army was founded in London's East End in 1865'<br />As you well know by now, every tiny research window can open into a whole new field of information.<br />That B is starting to look like it is written on the collar and not actually a badge or pin or brooch.Ann ODynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01159263330547329077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-42359001643673016342013-02-16T02:12:35.786+10:002013-02-16T02:12:35.786+10:00Ann, interestingly enough Ted's father was bur...Ann, interestingly enough Ted's father was buried by a Salvation Army minister though I wasn't aware of them being in the Salvation Army.
