The Salvation Army in Australia has long been known as the “Salvos” – a term of endearment given to it by the people it serves. But in the early days it seems that each local expression of The Salvation Army had its own nickname. Liverpool Salvos called themselves the “Liverpool Lancers”. The first meetings of the Liverpool Lancers were held on 5 April 1884.
