The Masonic Sacrifice
In time of war so great, when all are embroiled, The duty of our countrymen, to volunteer and become soiled. As men of honour, free, accepted and true, Among them brothers and masons, volunteer to see it through. ………. In fields of the second, and trenches of the first, Masons were involved, whilst war waged its worst. Fighting on Land or Sea, and also in the Air, Tales of derring-do, they fought for what’s fair. ………. They fell in their thousands, alongside brothers in blood, Duty to Country, masonic ideals, fulfilled as one should. The horrors of war become a tale to be told, Sacrifice of countrymen and masons, all so bold. ………. In the month of November, on Armistice Day, We remember the fallen, and brothers this way. In services, parades, and odes so true, For our countrymen and Freemason Brothers, Our eternal thanks, belong to you. ……….
