Geschiedenis
The foundation of the UK territory dates from the earliest formation of The Salvation Army - prior to the adoption of that title in 1878 - when in July 1865 William Booth took charge of a mission in the East End of London. Some UK corps were first established as Christian Mission stations.
Throughout the Army's history, work in this geographical area has been organised in a variety of forms and territories, but before 1990 these were all part of International Headquarters administration. However, in 1990 a restructuring occurred and today the UK Territory is separate from International Headquarters and under a single command like the Army's other territories.
UK Territory belongs to the Army's Europe Zone and includes the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. UK Territorial Headquarters are located at 101 Newington Causeway, London.
