The idea of the Order, then and now is to help fellow comrades in need, either financially or physically and to remember all servicemen who have answered the Sunset Call, both in war and peace time.

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 sse
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.
