The Salvation Army - Phyllis Foster - 8 September 1988

Details
SummaryInterview by Regina Bollinger in 1988 with Phyllis Foster about the Salvation Army.
Phyllis recalls being part of the Salvation Army from about the age of 4 or 5, "I can remember the Salvation Army coming down the street and the band playing." She speaks about the Arnott family's connections with the Salvation Army, the history behind the SAO biscuit, which apparently stands for "Salvation Army Officer".
The Salvation Army began its campaign in Newcastle at a meeting in premises temporarily leased at the corner of Perkin and King Streets on the 12th May 1883. In 1897 it was realised that a poor man's shelter and rescue home for women were needed, a hostel for men opened in Scott Street in 1900 and a home for women in Islington.
