Colonel Elizabeth Sapsworth
Drawn to the Salvation Army by reason of the persecutions suffered by Salvationists, Elizabeth Sapsworth, a highly educated lady, became, in 1883, Mrs. Bramwell Booth's first helper in the establishment of the Women's Social Work in England.
A notable Hebrew and Greek scholar, the Colonel was a keen student of the Bible. She compiled The Salvation Soldier's guide under the direction of the Founder, William Booth.
In 1921, at the age of 83, she was promoted to Glory from Kew, England.
