Heritage Series 01 – Uniform Portraits

“The detachment of The Salvation Army commenced operations yesterday in the Temperance Hall, which has been occupied as the headquarters or ‘barracks,’ here. Captains Pollard and Burfoot wore the Army uniform (dark tweed with scarlet facings) and also the Army badge (a shield bearing the motto ‘Blood and fire’). They are both young men, evidently thoroughly in earnest, and full of faith in the success of their mission. As may be expected, they are not polished speakers, but they have a rough-and-ready style, a determined manner, and the ability to deliver their message [in] a simple, straightforward, and withall impressive style”. (The Otago Daily Times [Dunedin] Monday 2 April 1883)

And so The Salvation Army was announced to New Zealand with descriptive emphasis on the uniform and the manner and style of the Salvationists.
