It’s quite remarkable what gets brought home as ‘souvenirs’. Guns etc. are fairly common, as are coins and badges etc. But … there was a case about 15 years ago in country Victoria where a man was going through their ex-WW1 great-grandfather’s papers and found the severed head of a german soldier in a box. This was successfully repatriated to the deceased’s family, but WTF!
The War Museum in Canberra might like those. Or the Mitchell Library.
They’re all going to a museum.
I just couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
