Field Marshal Sir Claud Jacob GCB GCSI KCMG

He was a leading mason. I often wondered why he was photographed on several occasions with Rudyard Kipling. Possibly it was because they had masonry in common.

He was a member to my knowledge of an Indian lodge, and no doubt upon his retirement of lodges here in England.

Edward Jacob, Mayor of Canterbury

He was master of his lodge in 1736.
