Street Scenes and Salvation Army Meeting

Rare footage of Sally Army general William Booth.

This early film contains rare footage of the Salvation Army’s famous first general William Booth. Neither the maker, date nor location have been precisely identified. Booth undertook a Great Britain-wide tour in 1904 so the film may have been taken then. The background suggests the edges of a village, and the presence of a red rampant lion flag that it may be in Scotland. Later, the film seems to switch to an urban location.
