Title: Southern Command

I have two KGVI [attach id=6565]Southern Command.jpg[/attach] British India stamps as per scan with the standard SERVICE overprint, but which also show a "Southern Command" cancellation. Does this have any military significance?

Hi Malcolm,

I did a quick google search and the Indian Army Southern Command is located at Pune (Poona), so yes I would suggest the stamp are cancelled with the Army Southern Command datestamp, likely used at the command APO.

Regards Peter
