‘Endow us with such fortitude that in the hour of trial, we fail not, but passing through the valley of the shadow of death ...’

These words from the Chaplain’s prayer in the third degree are carefully inscribed on the top of the roll of foundation members of the River Valley Prisoner-of-War Masonic Club, listing some 25 Masons from Australian and Malayan Constitutions, from the English Constitution, and from Yokohama and Jamaica.
