Local supporters

The community of Nambour and the surrounding areas have always been supportive of the work of The Salvation Army and generous donors to Salvation Army causes such as our Red Shield and Christmas Appeals.

In 1956, Fred Martine, a Nambour resident and veteran of the Boer War and also World War One, impressed by the work of The Salvation Army during the wars and also at home in Nambour, bequeathed his own residence for use as a Boer War Memorial. In 1961, the Frederick Martine Boer War Memorial Quarters for Salvation Army officers in Lamington Terrace was opened.
