About the memorial: Rolls of Honour for both World Wars for Barnard Castle Lodge Number 1230, included in an A5-sized booklet, entitled “A History of Freemasonry in Barnard Castle” written by Maxwell Gaskin, a member of Strathmore Masonic Lodge Number 6229. The page listing the names for 1914-18 states: “The ‘Roll of Honour’ of the Barnard Lodge members during the First World War is formally recorded in the Lodge Minutes of 1st February 1918”. The names from 1939-45 were also formally recorded in the Minutes of an unknown date. Technically, being a printed book, it is possible to argue that this is not a war memorial. But it makes public what was previously hidden in the lodge records, and the intent was to memorialise these men. These men were- Brother J Garsed-4th Battalion Durham Light Infantry; Brother J Wynne-Harley-Army Cyclist Corps; Brother A H Servier- Anglo-Russian Hospital Petrograd. During the War there had been a (now lost) conventional Roll of Honour. That had included 3 other names- 2 who had resigned from Lodge membership during the course of the war, and a third who is believed to have been a civilian non-combatant. Such were the post war arguments about who should be included to be memorialised.
