the emphasis on "fraternité" during the french revolution led olympe de gouges, a female journalist, to write the declaration of the rights of woman and the female citizen as a response. the tripartite motto was neither a creative collection, nor really institutionalized by the french revolution. as soon as 1789, other terms were used, such as ""la nation, la loi, le roi"" (the nation, the law, the king), or ""union, force, vertu"" (union, strength, virtue), a slogan used beforehand by masonic lodges, or ""force, égalité, justice"" (strength, equality, justice), ""liberté, sûreté, propriété"" (liberty, security, property), etc.

the grand lodge of ireland played a central role in the spread of military-based masonic lodges from the 18th century onwards. initially, the premier grand lodge of england were opposed to issuing "travelling warrants" to lodges and did not always consider soldiers men of "moral standing and order", so for regiments interested in forming a masonic lodge, it was easier to apply to the grand lodge of ireland or later the grand lodge of scotland for warrants. between 1732 and 1742, the grand lodge of ireland issues warrants to the following british army regiments; 1st regiment of foot (royal scots), 17th (leicestershire), 18th (royal irish), 19th (green howards), 20th lancashire fusiliers, 27th (royal inniskilling fusiliers), 28th (gloucestershire), 30th (east lancashire), 32nd (duke of cornwalls light infantry), 33rd (west riding (duke of wellington’s), 38th (south staffords) and the 39th (dorset). following these early examples, the grand lodges of ireland, scotland and the antient grand lodge of england issued hundreds of warrants for masonic lodges to the cavalry, infantry, artillery and militias. to this day there are two active masonic lodges of the british army under the grand lodge of ireland; no 322 lodge glittering star of the mercian regiment and no 295 st patrick’s of the royal dragoon guards.
