Major Francis Cumming

Major Francis Cumming , Officer in Charge of the Dunedin Division, has been connected with the Salvation Army for twenty-four years, and for over twenty-one years he has been an officer. He was born in the north of Scotland, and there joined the organisation. He worked in all the provinces of Australia, except West Australia, and was afterwards appointed to open the campaign in the Dutch East Indies. Major Cumming spent four years in Batavia, Sourabaya, and Samarang, in Java, and he speaks with the highest satisfaction of the success of the East Indian work, to which he would be glad to return. He was transferred to the Dunedin charge in 1903.
