Masonic Breast jewel for the Founder of a Lodge of Mark Master Masons, Cyprus, awarded to QMS William Henry Harley, Connaught Rangers, founder of the St Paul’s Masons Lodge in Limassol, Cyprus, 1890.
Made by Kenning, Masonic jeweller, Little Britain and Aldersgate Street, London.

William Henry Harley was born 27 Nov 1863, enlisted in London on 23 Feb 1877 and served with the 94th Regiment of Foot and the 2nd Bn Connaught Rangers. He served in India, Cyprus and Malta. He was discharged at Cork on 27 Sep 1920.

There are additional ‘degrees’ in freemasonry which also use drama to bond members together. The Mark Master Masons have a ritual about the finding of the keystone of the temple and this is represented in their jewel.
