Camp of which a history has been compiled by Bro Mick Walker RoH of the Grand Lodge of England. Following the end of the Second World War, there was a Lodge formed by members of the Japan Occupation Forces. A Lodge was opened in Korea during the time of the Korean War, and was associated with the Cameron Highlanders. New Lodges were formed also in Singapore, one of which was the "Enterprise" Lodge GLE. Another Lodge was associated with a Royal Air Force Base. From the mid-1950s Lodges spread across South East Asia due greatly to the influx of British servicemen as a result of increasing tensions in the region that culminated in the Malayan Emergency. By 1965 There were Lodges in Borneo, Singapore, Malaysia. Virtually all of these Lodges were "military" lodges and met at the various British Army Bases and Camps. One such lodge was Straits Commonwealth Lodge. The Buffs continued to exist in South East Asia after the conflict. The Rumah Pantai Lodge GLE on Borneo was formed in 1980 by the merger of two old Military Lodges. Rumah Pantai soldiered on until 2015 by which time it was the last RAOB Lodge in Asia. List of places where RAOB lodges existed RAOB Lodges once existed in the following: Korea Japan Baluchistan between Afghanistan, Iran and India (now Pakistan) India Iraq Libya Egypt Aden Oman Israel Benghazi Jinja Kenya Accra Ghana Sierra Leone Tobruk Ceylon Nigeria Tripoli Gan India Malaya Hong Kong Singapore Borneo Papa New Guinea Most of those Lodges, if not all, were associated with the British Armed Forces. Today The post Second World War years were undeniably a golden age for the Buffaloes. Worldwide membership increased and the number of Lodges expanded to reach their zenith in the 1960s-early 1970s. It was at this time to, in the post war period leading up to 1970, that the largest number of RAOB lodges in the Armed Forces came about. As with many organisations dating from the pre-Victorian period, there has been a noticeable decline in membership since a boom in the 1970s. With the reduction in the size and scale of the British Armed Forces, and social changes as mentioned, the Buffaloes movement has shrunk in size, and a significant number of Lodges around the world have closed. By 2012 Scotland's oldest lodge, the Royal Edinburgh Lodge No. 854, was down to 25 members. The
