Geocache Description:

Memorable Order of Tin Hats (MOTH)

CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDS. The container is placed less than 1km from this MOTH dug-out in Kimberley.

The Moth was founded on the 7th May 1927.



There is a museum on the premises: The Clyde N. Terry Hall of Militaria, open Saturday and Sundays 10:00 to 12:00. Call 076 117 4679 for more information from the Curator.

The graves and open-air exhibition are open at all hours, and if you can find the custodian, Cecil Ellis, on the premises, he will be glad to show you the private hall where meetings are held, and more memorabilia is stored. He is aware of the cache.

In the private hall they have a book with the names off every South African that has fallen in the 2nd World War. On every first Thursday of the month, a meeting is held, and at the beginning of the meeting the page is turned, so for the following month, light will shine on the names on that page.

The three MOTH ideals:

True Comradeship, Mutual Help, Sound Memory

No little child will ever starve or suffer needless pain,
the aged will live their twilight years in sunshine, not in rain,
the crippled we will help to walk, the blind we’ll help to see,
the wonders of God’s handiwork in all its majesty.
To feed, to clothe, to build again, where hopes should shattered be,
this is the crowning MOTH ideal, to help humanity.

I Morgan

When you go home – tell them of us, and say
“For your tomorrow, we gave our today”.
Their gift was great, but you must give a greater to complete the plan,
they died; now you must nobly live, to make man brother unto man.

The White Knight

I shall pass through this world but once,
Any good thing that I can do
Or kindness I can show any human being,
Let me do it now and not defer it,
For I shall not pass this way again.

AD 1420
