  1. As a 5yr old in 1946,my mother and grandmother lived in a flat in Bennett st East Perth.
    My father passed away one month before I was born.my brother was 12 .Every Saturday mum and I would walk up hay street,because I would perform if I couldn't see the salvation army,and.put my sixpence into their collection
    Later when we moved back to our home in maylands,there was a salvation army church in 8th avenue.
    And the band was always performing up a around the streets of maylands.this was really wonderfully.
    Unfortunately this all changed years later,and.it wasn't the same without the.band.
    Now many years.later
    After retiring and life becoming difficult to manage for a number of reasons.
    The salvation army has helped me in so many ways,I consider them as my family,as all of my family have passed.on.
    So as a 5 year old and now 79 year old,they have always been a part of my.life.
    Thank you god
