Who We Are:
The American Masonic Great War Project is a group of brethren and researchers committed to forever preserving the service and sacrifices made by our American Masonic brethren during and immediately after The Great War.
What We Do:
Our projects currently include:
1. Constructing a database of the American brethren who served in The Great War. We currently have thousands of names to be entered into the database and the number grows almost daily.
We also construct small biographies on brothers and special veterans who served when possible.
2. Researching domestic and overseas Masonic clubs and lodges during The Great War.
3. Researching and compiling and sharing information and photos of the Masonic Ambulance Corps.
4. Special research projects and presentations. (See the “Our Projects” menu tab.)
5. New Zealand. We have developed relationships with brethren in New Zealand and The Research Lodge of Otago 161, Dunedin. N.Z., who share our passion for this topic and they have graciously agreed to let us share their research with you.
We have projects in the works and look forward to sharing them as they evolve!
We are just beginning this most valuable research, so please continue to visit our page as we continually add to its content.
We still have some pages under construction. Please be patient, they will be finished soon and we will be adding content frequently.
