The First One Hundred 1890 THE GRAND LODGE OF ANTIENT, FREE AND ACCEPTED MASONS 017 TASMANIA THE FIRST ONE HUNDRED YEARS 1890 - 1990 FOREWORD The initial research leading up to this publication was carried out by Wor. Bro. Hugh Middleton. We thank him for painstakingly examining the reports and minutes that reflect the activities of the Grand Lodgeof Tasmania over the last 100 years. This volume does not purport to be a historyof freemasonry in Tasmania, This would entail a close look at the records of individual lodges. But we have here a historical record of freemasonry in Tasmania as seen by the Grarid Masters and the Boards of General Purposes. You will find excerpts from what must have been stirring speeches at the time of their delivery. They still make good reading. You will wonder at the fortitude of our brethren who travelled the length and breadth of Tasmania in the early days. Indeed they travelled by sea to get to the West Coast. If this book is nothing more it is an acknowledgement that the freemasons of 1990 give thanks to their predecessorswho worked so hard to establish the craft in Tasmania. M.L. YAXLEY Chairman, Editorial Committee EDITORIALCOMMITTEE The original research for this volume was conducted by Wor. Bro.

The Beginningsof Freemasonryin Van Diemen's Land Freemasonry was introduced ·into the colony of Van Diemen's Land by members of masonic lodges attached to regiments that formed the British garrisons1 1803 to 18701 and in particular those from 1814 to 1839, for it was within this period that the first civil lodges were constituted. Theearly Regimentswhich held moveable, or "ambulatory",warrants were:- 1814-1818 The 46th Regiment,2nd Battalion, Duke of Cornwall'sLight Infantry 1817-1824The 48th Regimentwith attached warrantNo. 218 from the GrandLodge of Ireland. 1823-1825 The 3rdRegiment with attached Engiish warrantNo.170 1825-1830The 40th Regiment with attached "Thornton1s Lodge" No. 284 Ireland, and appendant RoyalArch Chapter 284I.C. 1830-1834The 63rd Regiment,with dormant warrant No. 512 I.C. 1833-1839 The 21st Regiment Royal Scots Fusiliers with attached warrant 33 I.C., appendant Royal Arch Chapter, and dormantWarrant 936 I.C. Later regiments included those with warrants 112 E.C., 677 E.C. and 313 I.C.; these numbersappear with lists of visitors to the established "civil" lodges, together with those from other constitutions who were either free settlers or mariners. The warrantof the lodge attached to the 46th Regiment was left in Sydney, N.S.W., where it worked in 1816 as The Lodge of Social and MilitaryVirtues No. 227 Irish Constitution. Local records report that there were several masons present at the laying of the foundation stone of the Officers' Mess at the Anglesea Barracks, Hobart Town, on 17th July, 1814. This first reported presence of Freemasons is considered to refer to members of 227 I.C. Later records show that the regimental lodges were not pennitted to assemble in Barracks, but met in private homes or in a room set aside fortheir use in a hotel, and leased for that purpose. Documents reveal that the regimental lodges spread the light of freemasonry in Van Diemen's Land by initiating local citizens into their lodges. A Royal Arch Certificate dated 18th May1 1828, in Hobart Town, V.D.L. testifiesthat Bro. J. Lester received his R.A. Degreeon that day in Thornton's Chapter No. 284. Bro. Lester was at that time proprietor of "TheWhite HorseInn" on the cornerof Elizabethand Liverpool Streets. This Thornton'sLodge and Chapter 284,attached to the 40th Regiment, first met in a waterfron_t hotel, "The Hope", and later at the "Macquarie Hotel". 2 Some members of the regimental lodges who completed their term of engagement prior to the departure of their regiment elected to settle here, and the amalgam of theseelements was a journalist, Robert Lathrop Murray,who firstarrived in Australia i� 1816, and came to Van Diemen's Land in 1821, and later owned considerable property. He was bornin England in 1780, educated at Westminster School and at Cambridge, and entered the army at an early age, servedwith the RoyalManx Fencibles during the Irish rebellion, was equerry to the Duke of Kent and served throughout the Peninsular Wars under the Duke of Wellington. He built Wentworth House at Bellerive on the easternshore of the Derwent River as his country seat. He possessed high degrees in masonry and was personally known to members of the Grand Lodge of Ireland. It was upon his recommendation and application through the Regimental Lodge 284 that dispensation to open a civillodge under the title of 'The Tasmanian Lodge' to meet in Hobart Town was issued. The date of the original dispensation is not known. The first master was Bro. John Eddington and the Warrant 313 dated 6th August, 1829 Dublin, was received early in 1831, but this wasafter the 40th Regiment had left forIndia. When the warrant arrived from Ireland in 1831, it was No. 313 on the roll of the Grand Lodge. Their Master in 1832 was Bro. TJ. Lempriere, and the lodge met in the same room as used by the 40th Regiment Military Lodge No. 2841.C. Gould's Historyof Freemasonry. Vol. 111, page 392, refers to an Irish warrant issued to Tasmania in 1823, but local record of this has not been found. On 10th April, 1832, a petition from Bros. RL Murray, S. Wittaker and J. Lester, and others then residing in Hobart Town, to furm a lodge under the title of The Lodge of Brotherly Union, was received and granted by the Master and Wardens of TheTasmanian Lodge313 I.C. The new lodge later received Warrant numbered 326 I.C. The 63rd Regiment arrived in 1830, its lodge . Warrant 512 was dormant, although the surgeon, William Bohan, held the rank of P. Provincial Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Ireland. When the Warrant for 326 arrived, he "constituted" the Masters and Wardens of 313 and 326 as "his" Provincial Grand Lodge. He left the colony with the 63rd Regiment when it sailed forIndia on 1st January, 1834. In December 1833, the 21st Regiment, Royal Scots Fusiliers arrived. This Regiment of 602 men had attached Warrant No. 33 I.C. first issued in 1734. Accordingto Gould, this was one of the first five travelling warrants granted to Regiments by the Grand Lodge of Ireland, a practice later followed by the Grand Lodges of England, France, Holland, Germany and for a short period, Russia. The 21st Regiment also had Warrant No. 936 I.C., presumed dormant, as the only evidence of its existence is the inscribed silver jewel left in Hobart. This Warrant was is.sued to the Regimentin 1803. 3 Digressing from local history, the Master of Lodge 33 I.C., W. Bro. A Mackay, was elected in January 1832, and conducted meetings of his lodge in Weedon and Chatham before his Regiment sailed for Tasmania (Van Diemen's Land). The first minutes endorsed by him in Van Diemen's Land, on the 10th May, 1836, include "due to the detached state of the Regiment the members were consequently reduced to four in number, and the lodge chest could not be opened since leaving Chatham." The disposition of the Regiment to widely separated areas of the Island left 254 men stationed in HobartTown, including Captain A.

  • The Rifle Club Movement and Australian Defence 1860-1941
    The Rifle Club Movement and Australian Defence 1860-1941 Andrew Kilsby A thesis in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of New South Wales School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences February 2014 Abstract This thesis examines the rifle club movement and its relationship with Australian defence to 1941. It looks at the origins and evolution of the rifle clubs and associations within the context of defence developments. It analyses their leadership, structure, levels of Government and Defence support, motivations and activities, focusing on the peak bodies. The primary question addressed is: why the rifle club movement, despite its strong association with military rifle shooting, failed to realise its potential as an active military reserve, leading it to be by-passed by the military as an effective force in two world wars? In the 19th century, what became known as the rifle club movement evolved alongside defence developments in the Australian colonies. Rifle associations were formed to support the Volunteers and later Militia forces, with the first ‘national’ rifle association formed in 1888. Defence authorities came to see rifle clubs, especially the popular civilian rifle clubs, as a cheap defence asset, and demanded more control in return for ammunition grants, free rail travel and use of rifle ranges. At the same time, civilian rifle clubs grew in influence within their associations and their members resisted military control. An essential contradiction developed. The military wanted rifle clubs to conduct shooting ‘under service conditions’, which included drill; the rifle clubs preferred their traditional target shooting for money prizes.

The first members of his family to come to Van Diemen’s Land were Frederick Lewis von Stieglitz and two of his brothers who arrived in 1829. Henry Lewis, another brother, and the father of John Charles and grandfather of Karl, arrived the following year. John Charles von Stieglitz, after qualifying as a surveyor in Tasmania, moved to Northern Queensland in 1868, where he worked as a surveyor with the Queensland Government, later acquiring properties near Townsville. In 1883, at Townsville he married Mary Mackenzie, who died in 1883. Later he went to England where he married Lillian Stead in London in 1886. On his return to Tasmania he purchased “Andora”, Evandale: the impressive house on the property was built for him in 1888. He was the MHA for Evandale from 1891 to 1903. Karl von Stieglitz visited England with his father during 1913-1914. After his father’s death in 1916, he took possession of “Andora”. He enlisted in the First World War in 1916, but after nearly a year in the AIF (AMC branch) was unable to proceed overseas due to rheumatic fever.

  • SCOTLAND and the BRITISH ARMY C.1700-C.1750
    SCOTLAND AND THE BRITISH ARMY c.1700-c.1750 By VICTORIA HENSHAW A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

ABSTRACT The historiography of Scotland and the British army in the eighteenth century largely concerns the suppression of the Jacobite risings – especially that of 1745-6 – and the growing assimilation of Highland soldiers into its ranks during and after the Seven Years War. However, this excludes the other roles and purposes of the British army, the contribution of Lowlanders to the British army and the military involvement of Scots of all origin in the British army prior to the dramatic increase in Scottish recruitment in the 1750s. This thesis redresses this imbalance towards Jacobite suppression by examining the place of Scotland and the role of Highland and Lowland Scots in the British army during the first half of the eighteenth century, at a time of change fuelled by the Union of 1707 and the Jacobite rebellions of the period.
