Masonic Meeting at Kandahar Air Field (Afghanistan)

Dear Brethren All

I feel sure you will be pleased to know that Freemasonry continues to be practised worldwide, regardless of circumstances and adversity. The following forwarded e-mail and photographs attest to the same.

You may wish to pass this on to other Freemasons for their information.

With kindest regards.

Yours sincerely and fraternally

Barry

> Canada Lodge held our first Ceremonies of Initiation on the evening of
> October 7, 2010 here at Kandahar Air Field.
>
> Initiated were Major Robert Kelly and Corporal Satraj Toor.
>
> As you can see from the photos, our lodge is now beautifully furnished
> thanks to the generosity of the brethren from back home.
>
> Due to operational requirements we did not (all who had parts) have
> the chance (though try we did) to do a complete run through before the
> big night.
>
> If I may say so myself, the ceremony was done as well as any I have
> seen back home (in my limited Masonic experience, mind you).
>
> All of the parts came together seamlessly and it was quite evident
> that all of the brethren had put their heart and soul into the
> perfection of their work.
>
> I am truly honoured to have been a part of this historic Masonic
> event.
>
> Our evening ended with a truly Afghan flavour as we were posing for
> photographs we came under rocket attack and had to hit the floor
> (pictured).
>
> There is also a good group photo that was taken, however the one on my
> camera did not turn out. I will forward it to you when I get a copy.
