Our Lodge's (125th Anniversary) History - a record compiled by a former Lodge Secretary covering the period 1872 to 1997 - states: Darlington Grammar School Headmaster Reported Missing: April 1918.
Capt Leonard Whitworth Taylor, MA, Headmaster of Darlington Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, was reported missing in France. Recently accepted as a candidate for the Lodge, he had not been initiated. A letter of sympathy was sent to his wife during this "anxious time through which she was passing." In May 1918 he was reported a prisoner-of-war. He was initiated in March 1919.
