Our people in the Southern Highlands

An 1895 article in The Salvation Army newspaper, The War Cry on the work of the Army in Bowral made special note of its people: Perhaps there is nothing very remarkable about this corps to single it out from many others, but the love and unity among the soldiers may be noted. Certainly this love and unity has prevailed. The Bowral Salvation Army history book notes a remarkable act of generosity on behalf of a local salvationist in 1933 when the local officers moved their quarters to Somerset, Merrigang Street. The home was donated by Miss Beer. One pound rent  was to be paid until she and her brother and sister died.
