Maine Freemasonry played a significant role both locally and nationally during the war years.

Numerous local men joined the fraternity while in service. Many likely joined due to the potential benefits Freemasonry offered on and off the battlefield.

The Square and Compass is most common of Masonic symbols and is indicative of young Masons.
