Description: Album created by George Rainsford Craddock as a record of scouting trips in the King Country and Waikato, which followed ancient Maori trails, and historic quests. Maori legends and history in the form of newspaper cuttings attached to the album pages, which Gerald Craddock wrote himself, are interspersed with quotations from famous writers, and with photographs of the boys in the various areas. Some of the boys are identified, but only with Christian names Inserted in the front of the album is a slip dated October 1941 which mentions three of the boys (again only with Christian names) from his scout group who were killed in the second World War. Joe (an airgunner) came down 200 miles from Malta, in the sea in 1941; Basil (pilot) died when his plane crashed at Lossiemouth, Scotland in 1941; and John was brought down by a sniper's bullet in Iraq just before war broke out.
