The answer to the quiz is it is a kit bag fastener. Servicemen had a kit bag with their possessions kept in it. To keep them safe it was threaded through eyelets at the top of the bag and then locked. The song associated with the kit bag in the First World War was Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag. If you would like to hear the song go to U Tube and type in Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag which was popular during 1914-1918 conflict.
My blog is intended to provide ongoing updates and observations on Hertfordshire cycling; but not just that: it will also include other topics as and when they crop up.
