Formed in 1944 with 5 members. The name Red Barn was derived from stories brought back by soldiers from WW1. A barn with a red roof was situated behind the trenches and was used as a First Aid station and a place of rest and peace. Tavern of the Seas is a name given to Cape Town during the Second World War by visiting sailors and troops on troopships on transit.
