{{!!}}Evangeline Booth (1865-

{{!!}}Salvation  Army volunteers served in France during  the First World War. Their work there greatly improved the international reputation of the Salvation Army and resulted in very high levels  of private donations in the years  that  followed. In France, they set up mobile canteens to feed the troops, worked in field hospitals and attended the burial services of soldiers. Volunteers with the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) became famous for the hot doughnuts they made for soldiers behind  the lines. Photographs show women preparing the doughnuts. Evageline Booth (1865-1950), daughter of the founder William Booth, who died

in 1912, was Commander of the United States in this period  and organised the Salvation  Army’s mission accompanying the AEF. She later became the first female General of the Salvation Army.

1918 they gave up their  horses and were converted to Machine Gun Battalions, becoming the 1st and 2nd Guards Machine Gun Battalions respectively. They reverted to their proper names shortly after  the Armistice.” The Blues and Royals are  a fairly recent amalgamation of the Royal Horse Guards and the Royal Dragoons. The Royal Dragoons “fought at Ypres, Loos, Hohenzollern and against the Hindenburg line in 1917.”

{{!!}}The IWM was founded

in 1917 with the specific purpose of recording every aspect of the First World War. Collecting

had begun  on the Western

Front before the war had ended, and several committees were  formed to oversee collecting from all theatres on themes such as Army, Navy, Air War, Women’s Work and Trophies (which is how the early collecting of German material was seen). The collections grew over

the following decades, the years following the Museum’s modernisation in the 1960s being a particularly productive period,  when the Museum added  to its collections material in the private possession of those

who had served or been affected by the First World War. The collections encompass objects, works of art, documents, film, photographs, books, maps and sound recordings.

Text from Access2Archives: During the Great War, the First Surrey  Rifles fought with great gallantry and distinction, and also with tragic  loss. Within weeks of the outbreak of war, a second line Battalion was formed; and later a third line

as well. the 1/21st served continuously on the Western Front from March 1915 to the end of the war. At the battle of High Wood on the Somme in September

1916, the Battalion was all but annihilated, and only some 60 men came out unscathed. The 2/21st embarked from France in June 1916 and after service on the Western Front until November of that  year, it went onto Macedonia and Salonika. It then went to Egypt and Palestine, and took part  in Allenby’s campaign, and was present at Gaza, Jericho, Jerusalem, and in the Jordan

Valley. The 3/21st was a Home Service Battalion, and never  served overseas, but trained reinforcements for the 1/21st and 2/21st.
