The Australian War Memorial Collection. Test site
Steel mounted black leather scabbard with a tear drop shape frog stud on the locket. The locket and chape are attached by wire lace.
Australian scabbard found with its bayonet at a Turkish dump at Ak Bashi, near Maidos by members of the Australian War Records Section (AWRS) or Australian Historical Mission (AHM) before their departure from Gallipoli in March 1919.
The small party of AWRS staff, led by Lieutenant William Hopkin James, worked on Gallipoli between December 1918 and late March 1919, taking photographs and collecting items for the national collection. The AHM, led by Official Historian C E W Bean, visited Gallipoli from February to mid March 1919 to collect items for the nation, to record the area through artworks and photographs, and to explore the battlefields to answer some of the 'riddles of Anzac' for the Australian official history of the war.
Ak Bashi was once known as Sestos. It was famous for being the site of the Greek myth of the doomed love between Hero, a priestess of the goddess Aphrodite, who lived at Sestos, and the youth Leander, who lived on the other side of the strait at Abydos.
