In 1899 Albert’s parents were posted to London and he obtained a job as an office boy in the Chief Secretary’s department at International Headquarters. Albert Orsborn first sought Salvation at Walthamstow Corps in East London, but it was at a youth camp at Hadleigh with General Bramwell Booth, that he committed himself to full-time service for the Lord. In 1905, when his parents were serving as Corps Officers at Clapton Congress Hall, he offered himself up for Officership, and, with his good friend Harry Bramwell Howard, son of Commissioner and Mrs T. Henry Howard, entered training.
