The War Museum in Canberra might like those. Or the Mitchell Library.

Itâs quite remarkable what gets brought home as âsouvenirsâ. 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-grandfatherâs papers and found the severed head of a german soldier in a box. This was successfully repatriated to the deceasedâs family, but WTF!
