Soldiers of the Cross was a multimedia production, made in Australia by the Limelight Department of the Salvation Army. It premiered in 1900 and toured nationally and internationally until 1920. The production consisted of film segments and photographic glass slides. It was presented alongside a live evangelistic lecture, given by Commandant Herbert Howard Booth. A 20-30 piece orchestra performed the original score, written by Major R. McAnnally. Historians consider Soldiers of the Cross to be a landmark in production in the development of the Australian film industry.
