Posted to Boulogne in 1914 and later to the hospitals of Wimereux in Northern France, Ransley faithfully witnessed to those profoundly affected by the war. His honest, gracious testimony and compassion are a challenge to us all. This book takes Ransley’s diary and focuses attention on the period when World War One staggered to its brutal and horrifying conclusion in 1918. The need was great: so many souls on both sides, facing a violent entrance into eternity. Yet through it all, Ransley’s faith in Christ and unswerving loyalty to speak the truth is the light that shines in encircling darkness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBill Newton is a volunteer with MissionAssist.

Old Bill (William Ransley) became an Army Scripture Reader shortly after leaving the army in 1889. Having worked for God in his last six years serving in the army, he decided to dedicate his time and energy to sharing the gospel full time with the men and women of the military. His work saw him sailing off to the hospitals in northern France, where he experienced the bloodbath of the Battle of the Somme through his encounters with injured soldiers from both sides.  His journal gives a glimpse of the role of Scripture Readers and sheds light on the message of hope SASRA readers took, and still take, to the men and women of the Armed Forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Shona Wilkie, who compiled this book began working at SASRA in July 2015, coordinating Donor Relations and Book Publications.

In Britain, there was mass conscription of men and women. SASRA responded to the spiritual needs of Army and RAF personnel by opening Huts and Rest Rooms, and by recruiting extra Scripture Readers (increased from 65 at the start of the war to a peak of 178 men and 20 women).\u003cbr\u003eThis book traces SASRA’s work using accounts from contemporary documents\u003cbr\u003e(including magazines, annual reports and minutes). Beginning with the introduction of conscription in May 1939, it follows the work in the UK and during the main British overseas campaigns, from France in 1940 through to Berlin and Burma (Myanmar) in 1945. Some of the accounts take us into the front line with Scripture Readers being evacuated under fire from France and Crete, and with the troops in North Africa and Italy. There are also testimonies of service men and women finding new spiritual life in Jesus Christ. It ends with reflections on the coming of peace and the ongoing need to reach those in the peace-time Army and RAF.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBill Newton is a volunteer with MissionAssist.
