The Grand Honors


Baron Johann de Kalb (most likely a member of Army Lodge 29 of Pennsylvania) lost his life rallying his American troops during the Revolutionary War Battle of Camden.  The opposing commander, Lord Charles Cornwallis personally tended to his mortally wounded Brother, who had been shot 11 times.  Then, when Brother de Kalb died, Brother Cornwallis performed the grand honors of Masonry at his funeral.
