The Keys

It is not known to whom these keys belonged. The circular frame has a different photo on either side. As well as two small pen knives, and a coin, there are two keys which look as if they fitted padlocks locking boxes or trunks. There are also several very tiny cylindrical keys with no heads, which were almost certainly watch maker’s keys. Was their owner a watch repairer? How did he become separated from his keys? Were they sent back to his grieving family after his death, as part of his personal effects? Do you recognise the soldier or the tools of his trade?
