This is a sash for a flower girl dress for a wedding that took place on the 16th of August 1939 in Aberlady.

The District Chief Ranger was the elected chairman of a group of Foresters Courts. The position generally rotated around the member courts (or lodges) in a district.

Although simply a Friendly Society, which provided sickness and pension benefits to its members, the Ancient Order of Foresters adapted Masonic regalia and rituals for its own purposes.

This sash was worn by a member of North Berwick's Masonic Lodge. The metal letters and symbols on the apron would be of significance to initiates of the lodge.
