In the East End of London, revivalist preacher William Booth and
his wife Catherine (below) establish the Christian Mission, later
known as the Salvation Army. Determined to wage war against

army, labeling uniformed ministers as “officers” and new
members as “recruits.”

In 1878, the organization was renamed the Salvation Army, and
two years later the first U.S. branch opened in Pennsylvania.
