My fellow Brothers and Sisters, Saturday 18 December 2021
It is with deep sadness and regret that I have to inform you that our dear brother John Iles was called home to Glory yesterday.
John joined the Order on 22 February 2020 and has been a faithful servant of the Lord Jesus Christ as one of our Knights, continuing his path as a Christian prior to that, as well as being a member of Her Majesty’s Armed Forces.
I would ask you all to remember John in your prayers and commend his lovely wife Ann to God’s Love and Care at this traumatic time for her and their family and relations.
May he Rest in Peace,
Graham.
(Grand Prior)

With deep respect and in thankfulness for a faithful servant we recall our dear Brother and Knight Templar of the Grand Priory of All Britain
who has passed from our sight:
Richard died at his home on 16 April 2021 after a very long battle with cancer; his wife, Jill, son and daughter were with him as he transferred to serve Our Lord in Glory. He had been in hospital for several weeks but was able to return home for his final couple of weeks on earth. Richard had rendered faithful Services to the Order for many years and had bravely taken on the role of Marshal of our new Priory of England last October, with the rank of Commander. Previously he had served as a Knight Officer and Deputy Marshal in our Grand Priory of Wales.
On 14 June 2021 and in grateful acknowledgement of his Services
the Grand Master, General Ronald S Mangum PhD US Army (Retd), consecrated:
Brother Richard
to the office of
Knight Grand Cross
in the
Ordre Souverain et Militaire du Temple de Jérusalem
Hereford Cathedral on 3 October 2021
Chevalier (Knight Grand Cross), Richard Lewis
