who knows what tag this is?

It is a Canadian Military Tag, GNR which is the acronym for his rank which was Gunner, last name Prior o and possible forename initials of W. B.

K25138 was the serial number assigned to the enlisted consisting of one letter and 5 numbers and probably was issued in the second world war. The K or letter denotes the area where the person enlisted.

  I say that as my fathers serial no. started with K as well and was followed by 5 numbers. I referenced the serial numbers issued in WW1 by looking my grandfathers serial number which consisted of 6 numbers only suggesting this serial  number may have been issued in WW2.

CDN at the bottom of the tag probably references him as a Canadian and the other two letters I cannot make out.  

Using the serial number you may be able to have the military or canadian archives provide to whom this tag belongs or find someone who can.
