ALBERTEDWARD ALEXANDRA EARLKITCHENER VICTORIA

The Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes is a social and benevolent organization whose aims are to aid members in need and the widows and orphans of deceased members, to support external charitable and philanthropic groups at national and local levels and to encourage communication, support and well-being amongst members. References to the RAOB may be traced back to the reign of King George IV. Many sources cite traveling players as amongst those influencing the early development and promulgation of the Order. Victorian documents show London, Stratford and Manchester as focal points during these early years. Since then the Order has expanded to include members in many parts of the Commonwealth of Nations, bound together by the principles outlined above. In 2003 the Salford Province merged with the Eccles Province. Below are some of the Members of the Eccles Province Lodges Pictured many years ago. most are sadly no longer with us
