Are you asking them about the location of the Amble Buffs WW1 memorial as well Billy? (Well we now know one name that is on it; James Harbottle.)
I have a vague recollection of some of the Lodge memorabilia ending up in the Dock Hotel*. Did they have their meetings there at one time?
*I can remember being shown a large horned bovine skull mounted on a wooden shield for hanging on the wall which was Amble RAOB stuff, previously stored at the Dock I think.
