Leading Salvation Army figure is to be honoured

THE man who took the Salvation Army to the United States is to be honoured in his home town thousands of miles away.

George Railton, born in Arbroath, Angus, in 1849 and who became the first "national commander" of the charity in the US, will have a commemorative plaque unveiled in his name at St John's Methodist Church in the town.
