What would the recent military authorities in Ireland have said to behold the Head of the Staff in Scotland also acting as the Head of the Craft , personally presiding over its Lodges , and anxious to promote its prosperity ?
Among the distinguished military men who are members of the Masonic Fraternity , is Sir Thomas Graham—Lord Lynedoch , the hero of many a hard fought fight .
