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.
