The Germiston suburb of Delville carries strong memories of the First World War, with street names such as Somme, Vimy Ridge, Mons, Menin, Douai, Arras and Paschendaele. And the founders of Delville Lodge were especially mindful of the battle of Delville Wood 36 years before, when the South African Brigade, of 3200 soldiers, suffered over 2800 casualties.

The lodge meets at the 'Temple Sinai' Masonic Centre in Germiston. Its members are drawn from across the community and an interesting feature of the earlier days is that there were eleven 'father and son' combinations. Two members of distinction were the Charter Master, W Bro W A G Johnson inevitably known as 'Wag', and his successor, W Bro George Taylor. Both were as active as health permitted into their eighties and well deserved their Grand honours in the Craft and Royal Arch.

Overall the Lodge has made sound progress.

Meeting place: Sinai 60 Grace Str., Parkhill Gdns, Germiston
