British Newspaper Archive releases Salvation Army's War Cry

If your ancestors were members of the Salvation Army, the British Newspaper Archive (www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk) has now uploaded the archive of the War Cry publication. The current release includes content from 1879-1985, but coverage is planned to continue to the present day, according to its description page at https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/titles/BL/war-cry.

My grandmother was a member of the Salvation Army in Belfast as a child, with her mother and grandparents being staunch members. I am still trying to determine which branch they attended in the city, but have already found some clues that I will now pursue with the Salvation Army itself, via its International Heritage Centre (https://www.salvationarmy.org.uk/about-us/international-heritage-centre).

Happy hunting!
