Uganda

The Salvation Army commenced operations in Uganda in 1931 when Captain and Mrs Edward Osborne unfurled the flag in Mbale, as part of the East Africa Territory.

In September 1977 the Army's religious teaching was banned and in June 1978 its ministry, including social work, was proscribed. In 1980 Majors Leonard and Dorothy Millar began work with the persecuted Salvationists to re-establish The Salvation Army.

Uganda became a separate command on 1 November 2005 and achieved territorial status on 1 March 2011.
