On August 29th 1912 William Booth was
buried. Hundreds of thousands of working class Londoners lined the streets for
his funeral procession because they saw in him someone who was on their side.
William Booth was a man who was convinced it was
his 'destiny' to share the good news of Jesus Christ with those on the margins
of society.
That conviction led him to found The Salvation
Army, which in the space of a few years grew from a tiny mission in the East
End of London to a worldwide movement.
William Booth has been described as one of the
greatest men of the Victorian era.
Using restored and newly-found archive film and photographs this film
