Salvation Army workers have shown themselves of the right sort and I value their presence hero as being one of the best influences on moral and spiritual welfare of the troops at bases. The inestimable value of these influences was realised when the moral of the troops was afterwards put to the test. At tho front, huts which the Salvation Army have staffed, have, besides, been greatly appreciated. I shall be glad if you will convey thanks of all ranks of British Expeditionary Forces in _ France to the Salvation Army for its continued good work.”
