The New Zealand WW1 List shows Harold James Hoad having joined Egyptian Lodge No. 27 in London. A search through their contribution record shows no entries matching. It is possible there is a mistake and perhaps Lodge No. 27 is not under the English Constitution, understanding from the AWMM that his dates for WW1 are 27 Jul 1918-4 October 1918.
