Lang,

Your picture "Welfare34" of The Salvation Army canteen in camouflage with several Salvation Army officers in uniform around it; Was taken in London. Specifically that's the William Booth College in Denmark Hill. It was the temporary home of the War Emergencies Department after TSA International Headquarters suffered from a bombing raid.

Of interest to me is that it appears very similar to a series of photos by TSA Major Wesley Grottick who commanded the canteen fleet in England in 1940/41. But it is not one of the photos in his album at the TSA Heritage Centre. Do you have the source information or any caption? I may reach out to you for the highest resolution scan you have.

Matt
