T. Henry Howard

From Sawiki

A builder at Ilkestone, Derbyshire, Thomas Henry Howard was led, in 1881, through a night of prayer to enter the ranks of The Salvation Army. Following a brief term at Whitechapel Corps, he was appointed to the work of Officer Training.

Transferred in 1884 to Australia, he led with considerable success the rapidly expanding work there. Later appointments were those of British Commissioner, International Training Commissioner and Foreign Secretary at International Headquarters in London.

He was appointed Chief of the Staff by General Bramwell Booth in 1912, in which post he served until his retirement from active service in 1919. The commissioner was promoted to Glory from Margate, Kent in 1923.
