    		The Salvation Army.

    A banner was devised in red, blue and gold with a sun symbol and the motto 'Blood and Fire', ("the blood is the Blood of Christ and the fire is the fire of the Holy Spirit"). Marching bands were formed and in military style the Salvationists would march into a town "to do Battle with the Devil and his Hosts and make a Special Attack on his territory".

    		The 63rd Infantry Division of the US Army has the motto 'Blood and Fire'. This was inspired by a quote of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who had shortly before the activation of the 63rd Infantry Division, promised to make the enemy "bleed and burn in expiation of their crimes." The slogan was adopted by Brigadier General Louis E. Hibbs, the divison's first commander, who designed the shoulder sleeve insignia.

    		In 1909 a Jewish defence organisation was formed in Palestine called ‘Hasomar’ (The Watchman). They ceased to exist in 1920. The motto, “Bar-Giora”, which was taken from a poem by Yaakov Cohen, means “In Blood and Fire”. It signified ‘In blood and fire, Judea fell; in blood and fire will Judea rise’.
