Albert Edward Kemp Mourning Collection

The Albert Edward Kemp Mourning Collection comprises 69 objects acquired by Museum Victoria in 2006. It represents one family's memoralization of a soldier who died in World War I, leaving a young family to mourn him. His widow and later his daughter cherished the few items remaining from his service: letters and postcards from and to the front, sweetheat brooches and photographs of him in uniform. They also kept the heart-breaking letters advising of his death and how he died, and later correspondence concerning official recognition of his sacrifice: a tree in an avenue of honor, a scroll, medals and a plaque, and his grave at 29 The Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial, Belgium.

阿尔伯特·爱德华·坎普哀悼藏品集（Albert Edward Kemp Mourning Collection）共计收录69件藏品，于2006年由维多利亚博物馆（Museum Victoria）入藏。该藏品集展现了一个家庭对一名第一次世界大战阵亡士兵的纪念：该士兵牺牲时身后留有年幼的家人，需为其哀悼。其遗孀及后续的女儿珍藏了他服役生涯中留存的为数不多的遗物，包括前线往来的书信与明信片、定情胸针以及他身着军装的照片。他们还留存了告知其死讯与阵亡细节的令人心碎的信件，以及后续关于官方追认其牺牲功绩的往来函件：包括荣誉大道纪念树、纪念卷轴、勋章、纪念牌匾，以及其安葬于比利时伊普尔（门宁门）纪念碑29号墓区的相关记录。
