Title: FPO 169 HMT Queen Mary June 1940
Post by: Ingo Egerlandt on October 24, 2020, 05:37:17 PM
Hi members,
I have got a Fieldpost letter, and on reverse are the soldier number 176552. The Name is Bowen. Who can help about his story?
Thank you for answer!
Ingo

FWR does not recognise the service number. Can you scan in a copy of the item, front and back?

The reverse scan has part of the envelope bent over near to the senders name - is there anything under that bent over part of the envelope?

Thanks, Mike  :)

Please ignore my question - I saw this on your Facebook page and now see that it has NOT been folded over but has been torn off!

Mike,

A stupid damage! But walked into my collection!

But I found the Family Name in Herfordshire newspaper. The link... https://www.herefordtimes.com/news/17888824.war-declared-life-herefordshire-changed-forever/
