Operation Chastise, commonly known as the Dambusters Raid, was an attack on German dams carried out on the night of 16/17 May 1943 by 617 Squadron RAF Bomber Command, later called the Dam Busters, using special bouncing bombs developed by Barnes Wallis.

The Möhne and Edersee dams were breached, causing catastrophic flooding of the Ruhr valley and of villages in the Eder valley; the Sorpe Dam sustained only minor damage.

Despite rapid repairs by the Germans, production did not return to normal until September. The RAF lost 56 aircrew, with 53 dead and three captured, amid losses of eight aircraft.

Victory in Europe Day, generally known as VE Day or V-E Day, was celebrated on Tuesday, 8 May 1945 to mark the formal acceptance by the Allies of World War II of Nazi Germany's unconditional surrender of its armed forces.

The act of military surrender was first signed at 02:41 on 7 May in SHAEF HQ at Reims, and a slightly modified document was signed on 8 May 1945 in Berlin.

A day in history that we should never forget.

The All-Seeing Eye signifies that a higher power is always observing and aware of human actions. This serves as a reminder for individuals to act with integrity and morality, knowing they are accountable for their deeds.

The symbol also represents enlightenment and the pursuit of knowledge. It encourages individuals to seek wisdom and understanding, both of themselves and the universe around them.

The triangle surrounding the eye often signifies the connection between the mind, body, and spirit. It suggests that true understanding comes from harmonising these aspects of existence.

The All-Seeing Eye serves as a profound symbol of awareness, accountability, and the quest for spiritual enlightenment, encouraging individuals to live virtuous lives guided by a higher moral compass.

The legend of Saint George and the Dragon describes the saint taming and slaying a dragon that terrorised local communities. The story was known in Roman times but has its origins in Greek mythology.

We celebrate St. George's Day on April 23 — the anniversary of his death in 303 AD. The patron saint of England has captivated British imaginations since the Crusades and the Hundred Years' War.

The story of St. George is featured in tesserae mosaic tiles on the ceiling of Freemasons' Hall at  

We would like to give one final nod to our very own St. George's Lodge. They meet at Wolverton Masonic centre, and were first consecrated on 22nd April 1936 at the Science and Arts Institute in Wolverton. 

Freemasonry has an amazing history that spans over 300 years and is looking forward to the next 300 years.

From Mark Duncan, the Provincial Grand Charity Steward; "I attended an International Women’s Day celebration put on by the Women’s Aid Charity, some of the Ladies came up to me and said, “Are you the Pie Man” they didn’t know my name and were referring to the Covid period when Buckinghamshire Freemasons delivered pies to Bucks Young Carers, the elderly, the Women’s refuge and many more."

"They said the Women and staff were really grateful to local Freemasons when we took them fresh pies every week, they looked forward to our home cooked pies made by Shirley Cannings from Aylesbury Masonic Centre."

Working with young people aged 5-16 who live in Buckinghamshire and have a caring role for someone in their own home who has a physical or learning disability, has an illness or a drug or alcohol dependency, Young Carers Bucks offers support tailored to the needs of every carer, this can include club nights, group activities, outings, one-to-one support, school support and anything else that might help or offer respite.

All of their services are free to those who access them and are made possible by a small but dedicated team of charity fundraisers.

Having seen first-hand the benefits they offer, it was an easy decision for Chris, the Master of Haddenham Lodge to recommend them as his choice for the annual Master’s donation, constituting part of the sum which Haddenham Lodge donated this year and the donations which Freemasons from across Bucks have given to local charities regularly.

Over 500 Freemasons from Buckinghamshire and across the country assembled in the Grand Temple of Freemasons Hall London to welcome the PGM Designate and his Provincial Officers.  The Past Assistant Grand Master was there to oversee and lead the ceremony with his Grand Officers. 

While the ceremony was taking place, a small group of newer Buckinghamshire Freemasons had a private tour of the museum, building and various temples within, something that has never been carried out before.   As a province we are proud to try something new, but also involve as many as we can in special events like this.

Once the ceremony was completed, everyone attended the Grand Connaught Rooms for a formal Lunch, a dining room packed with members celebrating the day and the start of a new Provincial Grand Masters tenure.
