For over 100 years the Salvation Army has provided support to the Australian military through the Red Shield Defence Service.
Affectionally referred to as Sally-men, Salvation Army officers have been there for Aussie troops across all theatres of war in that time, with the exploits of Fighting Mac MacKenzie, who deployed to Gallipolli in World War One, going down in history as a Sallyman who never shirked hardship or danger, while keeping up the morale of the troops.
But more than a century after Fighting Mac, what does the modern day role of Sallyman entail?
We’re going to find out from Lauriee Arthur who’s my guest on today’s Chappy Chats.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
