A Salvation Army officer and writer, she turned biblical history and religious biography into clear, lively books for general readers. Her work reflects both practical service and a gift for making faith and history feel immediate.

by Mildred Duff
Born in 1860 and dying in 1932, she was an English author closely associated with the Salvation Army. Sources available here describe her as a Salvation Army officer who reached the rank of Colonel, worked in London's slum districts, and became known as a prominent Salvation Army writer.
Her books include Catherine Booth — a Sketch and, with Noel Hope, The Bible in Its Making. She also wrote other Bible-based historical works for younger and general readers, showing a talent for explaining religious subjects in an accessible, story-shaped way.
A local Salvation Army history for North Walsham notes that her childhood home later became known as Mildred Duff House, which hints at the regard in which she was remembered. I couldn't confidently confirm a suitable portrait image from the sources I found, so no profile image is included.
