Museum unveils first world war suitcase full of mystery

Melbourne Museum's deputy head of humanities, Deborah Tout-Smith, speaks about finding a suitcase of a returned Australian first world war soldier, Mick Ward, at an auction and the search to learn his story from the items in the case.
Tout-Smith says Ward's case holds items which reflect his struggle to return to civilian life. The items are being shown in the hope that relatives of Ward might come forward as part of an open day this weekend when people can bring wartime items to the museum with conservation experts from Melbourne University on hand to share stories and give advice on cleaning and care
