Ten random things: July 5  

Ten Generals of the Salvation Army:

  1. Clarence Wiseman (1974 – 1977)
  2. Bramwell Booth (1912 – 1929)
  3. Jarl Wahlström (1981 – 1986)
  4. Evangeline Booth (1934 – 1939)
  5. Bramwell Tillsley (1993 – 1994)
  6. Albert Orsborn (1946 – 1954)
  7. John Gowans (1999 – 2002)
  8. Frederick Coutts (1963 – 1969)
  9. Shaw Clifton (2006 – Present)
  10. Wilfred Kitching (1954 - 1963)

The Salvation Army was founded on this date in 1865.

ETA: [info]marinwood pointed out, not unreasonably, that Bramwell Booth appeared twice in the original version of this list. I explained that there have so many Generals of the Salvation Army named Bramwell that it was easy to overlook the duplication. Nevertheless, I regret the error.

Bramwell Booth made the list, twice?

So it would seem. There have been so many Generals of the Salvation Army named Bramwell that it was easy to overlook the duplicate.
