Sorry if I'm stating the obvious, but "souvenir d'esclavage" (captivity), and the dates, indicate that it was made by someone who was a POW. There's no end date - maybe they died before release, or gave it away to someone else who never finished it. I'd love to know! A sweet piece of trench art, very nicely made and came up a treat with your careful work!
Nice job. That's a cool lighter
Thank you 🙏

thanks for your reply, I'm even closer to unlocking the mystery of this lighter.
Oooh, great result! What is the history of this item?
Thank you. I want to know that too
