No motion picture film from Soldiers of the Cross is known to have survived, nor any copies of the lecture's narration. However, in 1953 the National Library of Australia acquired glass slides of the production. These slides are now held by the National Screen and Sound Archive. Many of these slides have been digitised and are available through the Archive's Online Catalogue so that all users can experience the colour and the drama of this formative era of Australia's motion picture history.

Original sheet music. Note, opinions differ regarding whether this sheet music was written for Soldiers of the Cross or Heroes of the Cross. It is titled Soldiers of the Cross and has been accessioned as such in the National Film and Sound Archive's collection. However, research by Chris Long indicates that the composer of this work, Robert H McAnally, did not join the Salvation Army's Limelight Department in Melbourne until 1907, many years after the creation of Soldiers of the Cross.
