The
Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes (RAOB) is one of the largest fraternal
movements in the United Kingdom, The order started in 1822 and spread
throughout the former British Empire and elsewhere in the world. It is known as
the "Buffs" to members.
Buffalo
Lodges existed widely throughout the former British Empire. Buffalo lodges have
also existed in other countries not associated with the empire or its successor
the Commonwealth of Nations such as the United States of America. Lodges have
existed onboard ships, at army bases, and Royal Air Force bases. Bletchley Park
had a lodge at its local pub. Most of the post-Second World War West German
Lodges were related to the British Forces. In the United Kingdom hundreds of
pubs have been home to Buffalo Lodges. The largest Buffalo order in history,
based purely on the number of dispensations issued, is the Grand Lodge of
England (the Birmingham section). The GLE has issued over 10,672
"dispensations" to establish lodges in England, Wales, Scotland,
Ireland, and other places around the world.
There
are still a number of lodges worldwide that come under the Grand Lodge of
England directly, such as Eastern Lodge 8686 in Nova Scotia.
