Charters Towers Greats - John Cook

Cook Family photoJohn Cook served as the corps sergeant-major for many years was also an amazing Salvationist of the early 1900s. A report in The Salvation Army newspaper War Cry in 1908 states that he is one of the most enterprising Salvationists in the Territory and that he has been a devoted Salvationist for about a score of years, first coming in contact with the organisation at Ballarat. He reckons there’s no sphere of usefulness under the sun so great as in Salvation circles; he can be reckoned on at any time and in any place.
