Summary "The War Romance of the Salvation Army" by Evangeline Booth and Grace Livingston Hill is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work recounts the inspiring and dedicated efforts of the Salvation Army during World War I, focusing on their humanitarian services to soldiers in France. Through the lens of personal anecdotes and testimonials, it portrays the soldiers' experiences and the vital role the Salvation Army played in alleviating their hardships and spiritual needs during the war. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Commander Evangeline Booth, who reflects on the overwhelming call to action for the Salvation Army when the United States entered the war. The opening sets the stage for the organization's mission, highlighting their readiness, compassion, and the challenges they faced as they sent workers to the front lines. The text describes vivid scenes, such as the Commander’s determined leadership, the preparation of troops, and the struggles of the soldiers with homesickness and the dire conditions of war. It captures the spirit of resilience and commitment to service that characterized the Salvation Army's work, aiming to provide not only material aid but also spiritual comfort to the troops in the trenches.
