EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "SALVATION ARMY: CEYLON" takes us back to the late 19th century in Ceylon, present-day Sri Lanka. The Salvation Army had been actively serving the people of this beautiful island since 1882, and this image captures their profound impact on the local community. The scene depicted showcases a group of dedicated Salvation Army troops stationed at their barracks. With an umbrella protecting them from the scorching sun, these men stand guard over a field where rice cultivation is taking place. Their commitment to helping those in need is evident as they tirelessly work to provide sustenance and support for the less fortunate. Intriguingly, there is also a cave visible in the background of this photograph. Perhaps it served as a shelter or meeting place for both soldiers and locals seeking solace during difficult times. The emotions captured are raw and powerful; one can almost hear cries echoing through the air, symbolizing both despair and hope. Wood engravings from an English newspaper published in 1887 have preserved this poignant moment forever. This historical publication serves as a testament to not only the Salvation Army's presence but also its unwavering dedication towards uplifting communities worldwide. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of how organizations like the Salvation Army have played vital roles throughout history by providing aid and compassion to those who need it most – leaving an indelible mark on societies across continents.
