At the turn of the century in 1900 the Salvation Army in the United Kingdom was well-established, with corps (Salvation Army term for local churches) all over the country. Here is a list of corps in 1900. A "circle corps" was a corps which was based in a number of villages, and the officer in charge being responsible for a number of centres which ranged from back kitchens and outhouses, to barns and to actual Salvation Army buildings. A "Battery" was a horse-drawn cart staffed by two single officers, who were in effect mobile evangelists of their day.
