Salvation Army badges/Pins
I've recently picked up a few wartime Salvation Army pins and see lots of different ones on eBay. However, I have no idea which ones are wartime, 1 or 2, related. Can anybody advise me? I would sure like to get a cap badge and maybe a set of collars for my small Home Front collection. I have two Women's Worker pin for women who worked in the canteen vans.

Haven't really done any research into the Salvation Army badges and pins.
The YMCA Women's Auxiliary pins are "usually" classed as WW2 but as at least 40,000 women served with them in WW1 I find it strange that they did not have their own badges ? Is it possible that the badges were introduced during the inter-war years as the "National Women's Auxiliary" only gained recognition in 1918 ? Quote:

Photos from Salvation Army website : 1. Advertisement from 1891 2. Silver Badge from 1910 https://www.salvationarmy.org.uk/abo...salvation-army The "War Cry" magazine is also a good source , this advert from 1935 (photo 3) can help date the different style/era of badges. .

Thanks Mike,
All very interesting. I am not at all knowledgeable on this subject, but do know they ran canteens or vans in both wars. I am primarily only interested in British or Commonwealth. I will will continue my research as well. Thanks again, Terry |
