Did You Know?
The Underberg MOTH Shell Hole is a local branch of the Memorable Order of Tin Hats (MOTH), a fraternal organization for military veterans founded in South Africa in 1927. The term 'Shell Hole' refers to the MOTH's meeting places, named after the shell holes that provided shelter to soldiers during World War I. The Underberg branch was established in 1918, making it one of the earliest MOTH Shell Holes in the country, reflecting the post-World War I era when returning veterans sought camaraderie and support. The site is located in Underberg, a small town in the KwaZulu-Natal province, known for its scenic Drakensberg foothills and agricultural community. The MOTH organization emphasizes remembrance, mutual aid, and the preservation of military heritage, and the Underberg Shell Hole has historically served as a hub for local veterans to gather and commemorate their service.
