+General Bramwell H. Tillsley was promoted to glory on November 2, 2019, from his home at The Salvation Army Meighen Retirement Residence in Toronto, Canada. In 1993, he was elected 14th General and international leader of The Salvation Army (1993-1994). Together with his wife, Mrs. General Maude Tillsley, World President of Women's Organizations, Bramwell travelled the world, nurturing Salvationists in their faith and highlighting the work of The Salvation Army. Bramwell was born in Kitchener, Ontario, on August 18, 1931, to Salvationists Harold and Doris Tillsley, who had emigrated from England to Canada just a few years before. He accepted Christ at a young age and became actively involved at Kitchener Citadel, including as a junior soldier, corps cadet, bandsman and cornet soloist. General Tillsley was predeceased by his wife, Mrs. General Maude Tillsley, who was promoted to glory in 2014. Loving prayers are extended to the General's sister, [[Audrey Tillsley Wilder|Lt.
