Masonic Meeting in Afghanistan

Our Brother Secretary received this email which I think is wonderful to know that our Brethren are practising freemasonary in Afghanistan 

Brethren.... 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).
