MASONIC BIOGRAPHIES FAMOUS FREEMASONS

Lord Louis Mountbatten June 25, 1900 - August 27, 1979 Lord Louis Francis Albert Victor Nicholas Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, was not a freemason. "It was in 1947 that Lord Mountbatten was appointed Viceroy of India and, as such, became the Grand Master of the two Indian orders — the Star of India and the Indian Empire. This included automatic appointment to the highest ranks of these two orders, G.C.S.I. and G.C.I.E. respectively. He had become a K.St.J. in 1943. After the partition of India, Lord Mountbatten remained as Governor-General until 1948".
