Provenance Details
Provenance: This material originally formed part of a larger collection of letters and photographs donated to the Queen Elizabeth II Army Memorial Museum, Waiouru, by Andrew Brook, of Yarralumla, Australia. The majority of the letters were written by 3/240 Private Frederick Albert Crum, New Zealand Medical Corps (NZMC), 1NZEF, to his family in New Zealand during the First World War. The letters by Private Crum were accessioned into the Army Museum's collection. Those that fell outside the scope of the Museum's collection policy were then forwarded to the Auckland Museum Library in February, 2008.

This was later taken over by R.O. Clark Ltd. in 1924. In 1929 the four sons of Albert Crum formed a partnership and founded the Crum Brick Tile and Pottery Company.
