Posed studio portrait of Mrs Ivy Austerfield of the Salvation Army. It is believed that Mrs Austerfield was also associated with Tingley Methodist Church. Here, she is seen in her Salvation Army uniform consisting of a long navy skirt, a close-fitting, high-necked tunic with white lace-edge collar and a large brimmed bonnet with red band and huge ribbon bow. The bonnet was introduced by Catherine Booth in 1880 for practical reasons, such as protecting the wearer from the cold and from flying missiles! William and Catherine Booth, husband and wife, were instrumental in founding the Salvation Army in 1865.
