My grandfather was Sir Howard J Kent of the Seven Kings Lodge; I believe that their meeting place was the Seven Kings Hotel near Ilford. I remember that he had a very grand certificate framed on the wall and he had an amazing amount of regalia, which he kept in a suitcase. Unfortunately my grandmother sold it all and destroyed the certificate when he died, much to my disappointment. The only thing I have is a lovely old pipe in the shape of a buffalo head; it appears to be official "Buffs" merchandise because it has R.A.O.B. stamped on the side. I'll post  picture if anyone is interested.

Hello there,
My grandfather Hugh Thomas Cartwright (always known as Tom Cartwright) born 5.6.1900 was a member of the Buffs, I think it may have been Compton or Bradmore Lodge Wolverhampton, but I do not know where they met.  Have you any info on this.  Would be appreciated and many thanks for looking.

Regards
