* Spot the anomaly.
The two entries for 1955 are not erroneous.
Brother Cyril Dawson must have been looking forward to the December meeting of Kingston Lodge in 1954, as he had been nominated as Master Elect and would have been placed in the Chair that evening
He never attained that distinction. Voted in as Worshipful Master Elect on 3rd November 1954, Bro Dawson died unexpectedly two days later.
A Hull solicitor he had joined Kingston Lodge in 1933. He was a keen outdoor man, a member of the Kingston Rowing Club and the local Aerodrome Club that Amy Johnson flew home to Hull in her newly repaired aircraft after her record-breaking solo flight to Australia in 1930 and landed on this site. Dawson would probably have met her.
Dawson was a serving Officer on the Northwest Frontier in India during the Great War. In the Second World War performed his duty as Adjutant of the local Home Guard.
Post-war, Captain Dawson maintained his military connections by becoming the Treasurer of the local branch of the British Legion.
The Kingston Lodge minute book recalls the sombre December meeting, at which Worshipful Master Bontoff imparted the sad news.
A fresh ballot was held that evening to elect a replacement Master for the ensuing year. The scrutineers announced in favour of Bro. Philip Sharp, who was duly installed into the Chair on the 5th of January 1955 in the auspicious presence of the Assistant Provincial Grand Master and his team of Officers.
