Honored Brothers in 215th Battalion – Brant Lodge, A.F. and A.M., Made Presentation to Khaki-Clad Members

A goodly number of Masons turned out to the regular meeting of Brant lodge, No. 45, A.F. and A.M., last evening to do honor to five of their brother members in the 215th Battalion which is slated to go overseas shortly.  An excellent address was delivered by R.W. Bro. Rev. G.A. Woodside on “Conditions After the War,” and the manner in which he handled his subject showed that he had given it deep thought.  Worshipful Master A.E. Day then called on the military members of Brant Lodge, Brothers Capts. R. Tyrwhitt and L.H. Coates, Lieut. T. Watts, Sergt. Holdsworth and Pte. Betty and presented each of them with a money belt and a parchment.  R.W. Bro. Dr. Hanna voiced the sentiments of all the members in a few well chosen words.  Light refreshments were served.
