Extraordinary - Pegasus Forces Lodge #9393

About the Pegasus Forces Lodge

Pegasus Forces Lodge was consecrated on Wednesday 5th December 1990 at the Masonic Hall, Edward Street, Aldershot. The first regular meeting was held on 27th February 1991 and was attended by 24 Members and 56 Visitors.

Members include representatives from the majority of past and current Airborne units, including veterans from WW2.

The Lodge motto is “Superbe Serviunt” (“Proudly we serve”).

"What manner of men are these who wear the red beret?

They are firstly all volunteers and are then toughened by hard physical training. As a result

they have that infectious optimism and that offensive eagerness, which comes from physical

well-being. They have jumped from the air and by doing so have conquered fear.

Their duty lies in the van of battle; they are proud of that honour and have never failed in any

task. They have the highest standards in all things whether it be skills in battle or smartness

in execution of all peacetime duties.

They have shown themselves to be as tenacious and determined in defence as they are

courageous in attack.

They are in fact, men apart”.

Field Marshall the Viscount Montgomery of Alamein K.G., G.C.B., D.S.O., P.C, DL

All the members of the Lodge have enjoyed distinguished military careers and the Sovereign has acknowledged the outstanding bravery in action of a select few.

“Greater Love hath no man than this – that he lay down his life for his friends”.
