The owner of a 100-year-old Anzac photo album remains a mystery after the heirloom was dropped off at the Hastings Cranford Hospice Shop about three months ago.
A Presbyterian Support East Coast spokeswoman said: "Nobody knows where it came from. It got dropped off in a box."
It contains photos of Hawke's Bay soldiers at war sites in Gallipoli during World War I. The binding is as old as the photos. "It's from 1914 - it's absolutely ancient."

The album also features detailed descriptions and the names of the soldiers pictured. There are some recurring Hawke's Bay family surnames, including Burnett, Campbell and McAuley.
