The Canadian War Cry was first published on November 1, 1884. Since that date The War Cry has gone through many changes in format, size and design culminating in the current magazine format and name change to the Salvationist. With the exception of just a few issues, copies of all the War Crys published in Canada are in the archives.
ADDITIONAL COPIES OF THE WAR CRY ARE NOW AVAILABLE.
The Archives is pleased to offer on line 87 years of the Canadian War Cry in PDF format. The first eight editions of the War Cry commencing with the November 1, 1884 edition are on line. Issues for the complete years 1887 to 1928, and 1950 to 1969 as well as random issues from other years are also available. The years 1940 – 1943 are among the latest additions and make for very interesting reading as these issues cover the war years and Salvation Army Red Shield services to the troops.
Also on line are the 2008 and 2009 issues of THE SALVATIONIST which are word searchable. Gradually the remaining editions of The War Cry and The Salvationist will be added, as time permits. Enjoy the read!
Most issues are word searchable. However, a number of issues have been scanned from our micro-films and although readable and downloadable are not at this time word searchable.
The archived War Crys /Salvationist can be searched by checking the box for ‘War Cry’, ‘Salvationist’ or ‘all’ and then typing in a date in the ‘date’( i.e.1884 ) field box or by typing a word i.e. Brown in the ‘word’ field box in the search menu. Then click on the search box, year and PDF file.
