Happy Weekend All!

I have this cover which has transitted the civilian post off at Kuwait in January 1916...Where would it have originated from?

Thank you in advance
Thomas

Hi Thomas

Interesting cover.

Censor 3 / 498 is allocated to 1st Battalion Highland Light Infantry.

Transferred to Mesopotamia Jan 1916. I'd suspect written onboard a Troopship and landed at Kuwait.
