Professor Aubrey Newman Awarded the Grand Master’s Order of Service to Masonry
We are absolutely delighted to announce to QCCC members that the Most Worshipful The Grand Master, His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent, KG, proposes to confer on Emeritus Professor Aubrey Newman, PJGD, the chairman of the editorial committee and a past master of QC, the Grand Master’s Order of Service to Masonry. It is intended that the order will be conferred by the Most Worshipful the Pro Grand Master at the Quarterly Communication of the United Grand Lodge of England on 13 September 2017.
The Order of Service to Masonry is the highest honour the Grand Master can confer on any member of the Craft. Instituted in 1945, it is in the personal gift of the Grand Master and is an acknowledgment of exceptional services to freemasonry. The Order is limited to 12 holders and entitles them to place the letters OSM after their names, preceding any other Masonic rank that they hold.
