'Commissioner Bullard's missionary experience was extraordinary, even for a Salvationist,' says General Carpenter in his Foreword to this notable book of reminiscences.
Henry Bullard first met The Salvation Army following a football match in which he played. Soon he was an Officer, braving the persecution The Army encountered in the early eighties. He was one of the missionary part of four which, in 1882, 'invaded' India, a land he learned to know exceedingly well.
In Japan, Bullard led the tiny Salvationist force into perhaps the most sensational attack against entrenched evil on record in Army history, resulting in a veritable 'social revolution'.
Beside holding important appointments at International Headquarters, Commissioner Bullard commanded Army work in the West Indies, and, later, in East Africa, and travelled extensively in Europe, North america and Africa.
'This book will ... fascinate old and young (to quote the Foreword again). It is crowded with picturesque glimpses of many parts of the world and of the people the Commissioner knew - and loved, irrespective of their race or class.'
