Comber Ulster Defenders LOL 100
Comber Ulster Defenders LOL 100 is a Loyal Orange Lodge from Comber County Down, as an ex service man's lodge for veterans for the First World war.
There is evidence however that during that war Comber men held Orange meeting in the trenches in France and that the Lodge was formed by those brethren.
Although the lodge is small we have a few steadfast members who are passionate about orange principals and culture.
The Orange Institution of Ireland is a Reformed Christian institution, which was formed in Loughgall County Armagh after the Battle of the Diamond in 1795 for the mutual support and protection of Irish Protestants. The Order remembers the Battle of the Boyne fought on July 1 (Julian callander)1690 between William the Third Prince of Orange (a Protestant) and James the Second (a Roman Catholic) this was a major battle of the Williamite Wars in Ireland, the decisive Battle was fought on July 12th (Julian callander) the following year.
Today the order is well known for it's marches on the Twelfth of July and for charitable work. The Institution has a strong biblical basis and are not party political, although we are strong supporters of the Union between Great Britain and Northern Ireland. There are members of the Order all over the World from Canada, USA, New Zealand, Australia, Togo, Ghana, England, Scotland, Wales and of course Ireland (North and South)
