1921 Springbok tour programme

This is an official programme for the 1921 Springbok rugby tour. The South Africans lost the first test in Dunedin 13–5 but bounced back to win 9–5 in Auckland. The deciding test, played at Wellington’s Athletic Park in awful weather, ended in a 0–0 draw, leaving the series tied 1–1.

I have a 1921 All Black 'silver fern' badge and would be interested in selling. How should I go about this? Thankyou.

I am doing a research on the 1921 tour. I would like to ask anonymous if it's possible to have a picture or something of the Morkel medal. In fact I am writing a book on the tour and need help. I will be grateful if I can get copies of the fotos.

I am interested in the players Attie Van heerden and (George?) Van Rooyen who played for the Springboks on the 1921 tour and later played for Wigan in the 1920's .I am interested to know whether they returned home and what became of them and their descendants.I would be most grateful for any assistance. Regards, Bill Anderson. (Wigan England)
