The
Salvation Army has its own memorial to the men from the SA who died in
World War 1. This took the form of a brass plaque that was mounted on
the organ. The organ was subsequently disposed of and a new memorial was
produced to house the plaque which has also been inset with photographs
of the men who died; this meorial can be found in the Salvation Army Citadel.
