"I am glad to have the opportunity of congratulating The Salvation Army on the service 
which its representatives have rendered during the past year to the British armies in 
France.

their presence here as being one of the best influences on the moral and spiritual welfare of 
the troops at the bases. The inestimable value of these influences is realized when the morale
