Also recorded are the rest and recreational facilities at the camp, as well as those at Helwan Camp, and trips to the pyramids.

Following the campaigns in Greece and Crete, Crump returned to Egypt and took part in the war in Libya. There are several pages of photographs of Cairo and its citizens. Others are of nurses and patients at the British General Hospital at Geneifa, and the New Zealand General Hospital at Helwan where Crump went as a result of contracting pneumonia and developing infections in his wounds.

Williams, Edward Arthur, 1824-1898 :Mouth of Patea. Waitotara. [1865]
Date: 1865
By: Williams, Edward Arthur, 1824-1898; Stack, James West (Rev), 1835-1919
Reference: A-210-002
Description: Shows the mouth of a stream with sea beyond. Horses and soldiers in the foreground. Very similar to version at B-045-034 with title in the artist's hand 'Alexander's farm, looking seawards from base of hill on which we were camped, 23 January 1865'. Alexander's farm was on the Mowhanau Stream, South Taranaki, not the Patea River. Appears not to show the mouth of the Patea River, despite the title on the front. Title is not in the hand of the artist. The river shown is a shallow fordable stream and the cliffs on both sides do not match those around the much deeper Patea River in the 1860s. May show the Waitotara, but much more likely to be the Mowhanau Stream, as in the related work at B-045-034 Other Titles - Alexander's farm looking seawards from base of hill on which we were camped, 23 January 1865, Mowhanau Stream [alternative title] Inscriptions: Recto - bottom left - Mouth of Patea [in ink, not in the hand of the artist]. On verso, in pencil, in the hand of a former staff member, possibly copied from a mount: [A E Williams] [sic] [Waitotara] Quantity: 1 drawing(s).
