Reverend Arthur W. Shepherd - some photographic memories...
Arthur was clearly a practical man, as the photographs below indicate. Before joining the Salvation Army he worked on the railways. The photograph below shows him in his uniform.

Acknowledgement: We are extremely grateful to Paul Shepherd, one of Arthur's sons, for his kind permission to use these images on our website. It allows us to have a much broader picture of a man who had real foresight in the use of technology and the introduction of Amateur Radio to an institution (the Church) which is often otherwise viewed as archaic and out of touch. We thank God for his life and work.
