Title A name given to the resource Arrow-Head Description An account of the resource An Egyptian bronze arrow-head, reportedly "of the earliest times", purchased from the sale room of the Cairo Museum in 1915 by George Herbert Bourne. This artefact was sent home to Australia in March 1915 but its current whereabouts is unknown. In his "What to Know in Egypt: A Guide for Australasian Soldiers" CW Bean recommends service personnel visit the Cairo Museum to purchase genuine antiquities, rather than relying on vendors. Bourne acquired several artefacts in this way, and also acquired items of ethnographic and natural history interest, along with several replica antiquities. These items were all listed in a letter from Bourne to his Mother in March 1915.
