SALVATION ARMY EMERGENCY SERVICES

South Australian Division


WORLD WAR 2 ACTIVITIES

 
During World War 2, and all other conflicts that Australia has been involved in, the Salvation Army has been present in a support role for the defence forces men & women involved. Most military personnel can tell stories of their encounters with the Salvation Army Red Shield people dispensing cups of tea or a food pack or just "lending an ear" to somebody who needed to talk.

The Red Shield activities are part of the heritage of the SAES. As a tribute to those who served in that role we offer the following pictures of them in various activities during World War 2.
