The Oldest Travelling Military Lodge in the World

Glittering Star Masonic Lodge No. 322 I.C.
 
The Warrant No. 322 from the Grand Lodge of Ireland, dated 3rd May 1759 was issued for a Masonic Lodge in the British 29th Regiment of Foot. The Glittering Star Travelling Masonic Lodge is still closely associated with the Regiment.
During the Boston Massacre in 1768 the 29th along with the 14th Regiment of Foot were sent to Boston, Massachusetts, where, on the evening of March 5, men of the 29th Grenadier Company under the command of Captain Thomas Preston took part in the Boston Massacre in which five colonists died during a riot in front of the Boston customs house. Due to the incident, the regiment earned the nickname the "Vein Openers" for drawing first blood in the American Revolution.
