Abbreviations of Past Active Provincial Grand Ranks
Note: For Past Active (after the active year), a P is added to the Active Abbreviation.
ie.. Was Provincial Grand Tyler, (ProvGTyler), then becomes Past Provincial Grand Tyler,(PProvGTyler.)
If the 1st promotion or subsequent promotions are to a non active role, the abbreviation starts with P. ie PPSGD
If an active Past Provincial Office subsequently received a promotion and does not
act in the rank, the ‘Prov’ is replaced with a ‘P’ for his new rank.
(i.e. a PProvJGW may be promoted to PPSGW.)
