    In all reality the purse probably belonged to a member of the Australian Forces, who stopped off in Egypt on the way to France by ship, they would have gone via the Suez Canal, alternatively a survivor of the ill-fated Gallipoli Campaign.

    That's by the way the reason why they brew such a famous beer in Tsingtao and why parts of the city look like they're ported directly from old Germany.
