| Description : |
From its inception in 1878, the Salvation Army made use of military terms and military-style uniforms, emphasising the battle to save souls in the 'Great Salvation War.' In 1880 a standard navy-blue uniform was introduced for members. Catherine Booth, the wife of the founder of the Salvation Army, suggested a black straw bonnet for female members, as part of the uniform. This was referred to as the 'Hallelujah bonnet'. It was worn until the 1970s when it was replaced with a black felt hat. |
