Ten Generals of the Salvation Army:
- Clarence Wiseman (1974 – 1977)
- Bramwell Booth (1912 – 1929)
- Jarl Wahlström (1981 – 1986)
- Evangeline Booth (1934 – 1939)
- Bramwell Tillsley (1993 – 1994)
- Albert Orsborn (1946 – 1954)
- John Gowans (1999 – 2002)
- Frederick Coutts (1963 – 1969)
- Shaw Clifton (2006 – Present)
- Wilfred Kitching (1954 - 1963)
The Salvation Army was founded on this date in 1865.
ETA:
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.
