    Hi
    I was hoping someone may be able to identify the purpose of the pictured bundle of metal tabs. It came to me with a large amount of gear belonging to a POW from the Royal West Kent Regiment.
    It's a key fob type bundle, with a small key, a dog tag-like metal rectangle with "Stalag V111B 34411 DP", which is perforated down the middle, a metal tag with the number "1" on it, and lastly 8 metal tags with "WR 114" on each.

    Any ideas as to the purpose of these items?

    Cheers
    Steve

    No idea what the key fobs are but the `identity tag` is just that. That`s the camp and soldiers PoW number (sometimes those numbers were duplicated)
