Up to that time 225 members had been demitted to membership in other Lodges. 204 remained on the rolls exclusive of the personnel of No. 1’s membership. The Judge Advocate’s Committee reports those involving discretion action arising out of or war conditions not likely to recur. [No petition can be received from a candidate under 21 years of age, and such petition, or action had thereon, shall be ineffective for any purpose.] 92
The overseas mission asked for passports dated 31 December 1918. Then came the chance to affiliate with the AEF-YMCA as a Masonic unit, partly on suggestion of the President and Raymond B. Fresdick that we ally ourselves “with a recognized relief agency” so that arrangements and passports were obtained through the YMCA. After going to Washington, passports were issued on 21 Jan 1919. First was to find a ship to sail which was the Aquatania from Halifax on 1 Feb. This was a troop ship still in the service of the British Admirality but carrying passengers. They left NYC on 30 Jan 1919 for Halifax via Boston by rail. Each had hand luggage and one small trunk and they carried a typewriter & stationery. In Boston one of the party accompanied the trunks crosstown and saw them on the B&W Line. They thought sure the trunks would arrive when they did – but on arrival in Halifax after midnight of 1 Feb they found only two of the six trunks were on the train. The ship was due to sail at 0900 and the train was due at this same hour. Those whose trunks had not arrived stayed ashore and waited for the train. The ship was delayed 1-1/2 hours in departure but they all sailed together as a group. They was the ship was very dark and musty, partitions had been removed along with much of the furniture. The portholes still blackened to prevent the light from shining out while at sea, but were fairly comfortable under the circumstances. They had expected to land at Liverpool but landed in Glascow instead. They arrived in London on 8 Feb in the a.m. and found comfortable lodgings doing without heat, hot water and warm baths. Sea & Field 2-983 was Instituted 3 Apr 1919 at 42 Rue Rochechonart, Paris, France . . . . The YMCA Secretaries had a Triangle Club called the Trowel and Triangle. The members of this club were throughout the areas wherever YMCA’s had been established for troops. Through these club members they had a connecting line with the Y and the mission and almost immediate contact with all the Masonic activities in the YMCA. From hereon the activities of R..W.. Lay, Bros. Moore and Goodrich would read like a cooks tour, visiting clubs in different camps, meeting in Y huts, Jewish welfare huts, &c. Sometimes the camp Commandant would set aside a hut where they could hold a meeting. It was in the Jewish hut where R..W.. Lay met Bro. Charles Huntley, who with Bro. Porter, originated the SOI, a very popular so-called side degree. Some of the boys who received it overseas have promised to receive it and put it on for the Lodge, but up to date it has never been done [as of 1976]. At Marseilles, the American Triangle Club and Heathes Hill Triangle Club met in a macaroni factory; 74 clubs were functioning. Sea & Field 2-983 was Instituted 3 Apr 1919 at 42 Rue Rochechonart, Paris, France . . . . The said Lodge is hereby invested with full power and authority to assemble on all proper and lawful occasions to elect and confer the three degrees, or either of them, of ancient Craft Masonry without the usual formal ties and requirements of chartered Lodges upon candidates; who have actually enlisted, or been drafted, or commissioned officers in the US forces in the present great war [WWI]; and who apply therefore in writing and satisfy the Master Masons; so they be over the age of 18 years; and upon payment of $20; as also to perform and do all & every such acts and things appertaining to the Craft as have been, and ought to be done for the honor and advantage thereof. Membership or Officership in said Lodge shall in no wise impair or affect existing membership or Officership in a regular chartered or warranted Lodge. To be the JD or a Sea & Filed Lodge of F&AM, to be, but virtue thereof, constituted, formed and held at the city of New York; and elsewhere and overseas; as may be convenient and necessary; which Lodge shall be distinguished and known by the name or style of Sea & Field Lodge #2; and the said Master is hereby authorized to appoint subordinate officers of said Lodge; and said Lodge is authorized to adopt all such By-Laws; regulations for the governance of its proceedings, subject to my approval as it may see fit. Said Lodge shall have a seal and shall have and keep all books required to be kept by regular Lodges in the State of New York, the same and all records to be surrendered to the Grand Lodge on the termination of this warrant. This warrant shall terminate at the pleasure of the Grand Master. Given under my hand and private seal at the city of New York in the US of A, this day of . . . in the year of our Lord 1918 and in the Year of Masonry 5918 G.M. [sic].
