RUTHERGLEN Fulton Hunter was welcomed as an adherent by corps officer Major Catherine Wyles. Fulton attended a Christmas service and was made to feel welcome. In his testimony he said: ‘There is a great difference between knowing about Jesus and knowing him as your personal Saviour. I was brought up in the Church of Scotland but never had a relationship with him as Lord and Master. My desire to join the Army was birthed by two officers I met down south, who showed me and my family unconditional love and friendship.’ – CW WANDSWORTH Brenda Bassom and Malcolm Lee were enrolled as soldiers by then corps officer Lieutenant Chris Button. – CB
