In 1920, Temple Lodge, No. 33 placed a bronze commemorative plaque at the entrance to the Duncan Masonic Temple to commemorate four members of Temple Lodge, No. 33 who died while serving in the First World War. It was removed from the exterior of the Duncan Masonic Temple in 2013 after receiving credible information that it might be targeted for theft due to the scrap value of the bronze from which it was cast.
The plaque was replaced with a new sign at the entrance that was designed by Bro. Paul Philcox (Lieutenant-Colonel retired) and unveiled on 11 November 2013 by W.Bro Mark Anderson (W.M. – 2013-1015) and City of Duncan Mayor Phil Kent.
The plaque commemorating Brothers Alan Robert Bell, William Harrison Ingram, Archer Robert Payze and James Osman Slade Young, who died in Canada’s military service during the First World War (1914-1918) was unveiled on 11 November 2013.
