Title: Base censor mark.
Post by: Chris Weddell on December 05, 2018, 07:59:32 AM
Hello,

        Can any one tell me anything about this censor mark. At first I thought it was naval but looking at the machine cancel I now think it is army. Any help with this would be great.

                                              Chris.

Just to clarify - it is a Krag machine 8 BASE / POST OFFICE dated 28 AUG 44; this is the latest date whilst 8 BAPO was located in Crepon.  The Base Army Post Office moved to Antwerp from the 26 September 1944.  The next date I have recorded is 20 NOV 44 and this represents the earliest recorded date from Antwerp.
