CONFIRM AND MORE RESEARCH
The Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes (RAOB) is one of the largest fraternal organisations in the United Kingdom. The order started in 1822 and is known as the "Buffs" to members. The RAOB organisation aids members, their families, dependents of former members and other charitable organisations.
The Order's motto is "No Man Is At All Times Wise" (Latin: Nemo Mortalium Omnibus Horis Sapit) and it has the maxim of "Justice, Truth and Philanthropy". The Order has a Rule Book, Manual of Instruction and Ceremony Lectures issued and revised by the Grand Lodge of England, based at Harrogate in England. The 'lodge' description for branch organisation and headquarters was adopted in imitation of Freemasonry.
