Many Masons from this Province made the supreme sacrifice in military service during the Great War of 1914-1918 (for fuller details please see the UGLE Masonic Great War Project - Roll of Honour 1914 -1918).
It is therefore fitting that the Provincial Grand Charity has made a donation of £5,500 to the local county branch of the Royal British Legion in Northamptonshire.
This was presented on 7 January 2015 by the Provincial Grand Master, RW Bro Max Bayes, and the Deputy Provincial Grand Master, VWBro Dr Viv Thomas. They made the presentation to representatives of the Royal British Legion, Colonel Ian Keers OBE DL, County President, and Bill Rose, County Chairman.
Colonel Keers said
We are very grateful to the Masons for this very generous donation and I can assure you the money will be put to good use in the work we do in support of members and veterans of our Armed Forces.
