Freemasonry in Gibraltar 1727 Freemasonry in Gibraltar 1727 - present Michael Jenkyns © 2006 Freemasonry in Gibraltar 1727 - present Compiled by Michael Jenkyns, FCF WM (1999/2000 and 2005-2006) Acacia Lodge, No. 561 GRC, Ottawa 2 Westfield Cres., Nepean, ON K2G 0T5 CANADA Tel: 1-613-828-6433 Email: [email protected] © 2006 The Approach I was initiated into the mysteries of Freemasonry on February 27, 1990, passed on November 10, 1990 and raised on January 22, 1991. For anyone who has joined this organization, or any organization for that matter, there is a great “unknown.” A prevalent thought is “How am I supposed to know that?,” or “Aren’t there any manuals/history books/ritual books?” I spoke with many learned brethren and read many well-written papers and books on a variety of masonic subjects. And it always seemed to me that so much was written about the length of a poniard, or a cable-tow, whether a ring should have the points of the compasses towards, or away from, the wearer, or whether an apron should be worn inside or outside a suit jacket. And so little was written about the details of the Lodges to which Freemasons belong, and the impact which those Lodges might have had on the society within which they were found. Mind, you, this is not an easy subject to consider, research, or write about and it is made more difficult because many lodges have never taken the time to write their own history. I have spent about fifteen years consolidating everything I can find about Freemasonry in the British army and its allies and loyalist forces. As I can locate information on Patriot forces, for example (being a Canadian and having read up on the American Revolution, followed the aftermath of the Loyalists, the War of 1812, and various Rebellions in my own country), the French (there are pointers but no accessible information) I have brought this together as well. Mind you, it is another matter altogether to contemplate how to get this out to interested people around the world. Geographic locations like Gibraltar, Halifax and Quebec, served as assembly and staging points early in the development of the British Empire (on which the sun never set until the time of the second world war) and were soon expanded with the capture of Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, Coromandel and the Cape of Good Hope, to name a few more. As Masonic lodges were formed on land it was only a matter of a few decades before military personnel found that they needed their own lodges to accompany them wherever their unit went. Thus was born the ambulatory or travelling lodge. Thus I had to learn about the British army and its development over several centuries. I was surprised to find that the Royal Artillery is an entity composed of battalions which are, in turn, composed of companies and which at one time contained artillery drivers and support services to move the guns. While RA battalions might be numbered as were companies, the latter tended to adopt the name of their commander (usually a Captain). But that had little meaning since the Royal Artillery would attach artillerymen to various infantry forces and they would train the infantrymen in the movement, set-up, loading and firing of the field artillery. Royal Artillery battalions and company- strength units tended to be assigned to major garrison points like Gibraltar, Halifax or Quebec etc. After assembling the military lodge material I tried to review and understand research papers and books on Freemasonry as it evolved in particular geographic areas. For Gibraltar, there is an excellent website. But there is little that I could locate on the entire development of masonry there from 1724 to today—a span of 180 years. These notes are simply a start of what may well be a lengthy process of writing about Freemasonry in Gibraltar. I ask only that anyone who reads them would provide feedback to correct outright errors or to fill in the many empty spots. Many of them are empty because I have not been able to access information. But between us all, I would hope that these notes might be completed and prove interesting, informative and beneficial for others. I am grateful to W. Bro. Lionel Boxer for the opportunity of sharing this paper with interested masons through the medium of his website.

    Milborne Masonic Collection Finding Aid No. 1466 MG 24, L 15 Notes on the collection at the National Archives of Canada prepared by John W. Gay Department of History, York University The masonic collection of Alfred John Bidder Milborne (1888-1976) at the National Archives of Canada consists of miscellaneous research notes, papers, publications, indexes and bibliographies by Milborne and his circle, together with some masonic ephemera - programmes, summonses, etc. Each item in the collection, which has no clearly discernible logical order, were separately numbered by Milborne and those item numbers have been retained on the file folders, although Milborne's original box numbers do not correspond to the present box numbers at the National Archives of Canada. The item numbers are the most stable references and are the safest guide to the collection. Box 1 Items 1-125 } Box 2 Items 126-280 } For volumes 1-6, the best guide is Milborne's Box 3 Items 281-404 } own numbered items list found at the beginning Box 4 Items 405-570 } of the first volume.

    Abandoned Temple: Rehabilitation of Masonic Temple in Winnipeg by Noushin Nayyeri A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Architecture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario ©2016 Noushin Nayyeri ABANDONED TEMPLE REHABILITATION OF MASONIC TEMPLE IN WINNIPEG ABSTRACT The Masonic Temple is a vital Winnipeg building that has been vacant and exposed to deterioration for over a decade. This thesis will explore strategies for rescuing this building and intervening in the heritage site such that the building becomes involved with the city once again. The thesis will explore the cultural value of the Masonic Temple, its history, and its current condition. It will propose ways to preserve the façade as a container whilst opening the interior of the building to host another ‘building’ and program. This proposal will reflect on the symbolism, strict architectural principles, and lasting secrecy of the Free Masons. These ideas will be a tool that shapes the program and will include an inventive series of spaces for various functions related to local art and architecture.

  • The Three Lives of Edward Cornwallis by John G
    The Three Lives of Edward Cornwallis by John G. Reid Read before the Royal Nova Scotia Historical Society 16 January 2013 or some twenty years now, a lively controversy has flourished over the reputation of the first Halifax-based Fgovernor of Nova Scotia, Edward Corn- wallis. Was Cornwallis a courageous and far-sighted founder of Halifax and builder of colonial Nova Scotia, or was he a genocidal imperialist whose chief claim to notoriety was his placement of a price on the heads of all indigenous inhabitants of Mi’kma’ki?1 Should Cornwallis continue to be distin- guished by the prominence of his statue in downtown Halifax, or should all public marks of his existence—statue, names of Figure 1. Portrait of Edward Cornwallis by Sir Joshua Reynolds, circa. 1756 places and streets—be erased? Insofar as I have made previous public comments on such issues, I have expressed concern about the application of the twentieth-century term ‘genocide’ to an eighteenth-century situation, but have applauded the action of the Halifax Regional School Board in renaming Cornwallis Junior High School and have suggested that the statue belongs in a museum with an appropriate interpretive panel rather than in its current place of public display. My focus in this essay, however, is rather different. I will offer a histori- cal portrayal of Cornwallis in three contexts. The first will be the eighteenth-century Cornwallis. What, from the viewpoint of historical analysis, is or is not significant about the Nova Scotia career, brief as it was, of this early governor? The second will be the Cornwallis of the statue.

    A War All Our Own: American Rangers and the Emergence of the American Martial Culture by James Sandy, M.A. A Dissertation In HISTORY Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTORATE IN PHILOSOPHY Approved Dr. John R. Milam Chair of Committee Dr. Laura Calkins Dr. Barton Myers Dr. Aliza Wong Mark Sheridan, PhD. Dean of the Graduate School May, 2016 Copyright 2016, James Sandy Texas Tech University, James A. Sandy, May 2016 Acknowledgments This work would not have been possible without the constant encouragement and tutelage of my committee. They provided the inspiration for me to start this project, and guided me along the way as I slowly molded a very raw idea into the finished product here. Dr. Laura Calkins witnessed the birth of this project in my very first graduate class and has assisted me along every step of the way from raw idea to thesis to completed dissertation. Dr. Calkins has been and will continue to be invaluable mentor and friend throughout my career. Dr. Aliza Wong expanded my mind and horizons during a summer session course on Cultural Theory, which inspired a great deal of the theoretical framework of this work. As a co-chair of my committee, Dr. Barton Myers pushed both the project and myself further and harder than anyone else. The vast scope that this work encompasses proved to be my biggest challenge, but has come out as this works’ greatest strength and defining characteristic. I cannot thank Dr. Myers enough for pushing me out of my comfort zone, and for always providing the firmest yet most encouraging feedback.

  • Canada and Canadian Freemasonry by MW Bro. Hugh Young
    Canada and Canadian Freemasonry Presented at The Sheffield Masonic Study Circle Thursday 29th September 2005 Hugh Young Past Grand Master Grand Lodge of Alberta AF & AM Canada and Canadian Freemasonry Introduction When I was mulling it over in my mind how I would address this topic with some degree of organization to it and recognizing that while everyone in this room knows where Canada is but probably not much more, the first part of my talk is about Canada and its development. In this way, I can set the stage for Canadian Freemasonry and its development. I will get into how Freemasonry arrived on Canada's shores, some of the major (and minor) players and how the Grand Lodges developed across the country - right up to the Grand Lodge of Newfoundland and Labrador in 1997. This will include how Grand Lodges are organized and how there are many differences between each including some of the differences in the Rituals. I will conclude with some happenings across Canada now and in the immediate future with a more particular emphasis on my own Grand Lodge of Alberta. Canada Today Canada is a country covering 9,957,540 Km2 (3,844,907 sq mls.). This figure includes 755,051 Km2 (291,548 sq. mls.) of inland freshwater lakes. It stretches from Cape Spear in Newfoundland, the most easterly point in North America at 52°37' west to 141° west, which coincides with part of the Alaskan-Yukon frontier. Although much of the border with the USA lies at the 49th parallel, the most southerly point is Middle Island in Lake Erie, at latitude 41°41' north and most northerly part on land is Cape Columbia on Ellesmere Island at latitude 83°07' north.
