The Hallstone
Jewel
The Masonic Million Memorial Fund Commemorative
Jewel, issued to individual subscribers. The design was described at the time
as follows:
“The jewel is in the form of a cross, symbolising Sacrifice, with a perfect
square at the four ends, on the left and right squares being the dates
1914-1918, the years in which the supreme sacrifice was made. Between these is
a winged figure of Peace presenting the representation of a Temple with special
Masonic allusion in the Pillars, Porch and Steps. The medal is suspended by the
Square and Compasses, attached to a ribbon, the whole thus symbolising the
Craft’s gift of a Temple in memory of those brethren who gave all for their
King and Country, Peace and Victory, Liberty and Brotherhood.”
