Member of the Zeerust Cup match, won by the “Right Section New Zealand Battery” in May 1901 while on active service in South Africa. A letter presented with the trophy noted that it was a token of friendship intended to remind the team of the happy days passed amongst the Zeerust people. Although the trophy is inscribed “Zeerust Rugby League Cup”, the term “Rugby League” does not appear to refer to the rugby league code. Contemporary accounts describe the competition as football or rugby, and the trophy predates the introduction of rugby league to New Zealand in 1907. The silver Zeerust Cup is held by Auckland War Memorial Museum Tāmaki Paenga Hira and was loaned to the New Zealand Rugby Museum, Palmerston North, c. 2011.
