Title: FPO 81 November 1918 New Location
Post by: Chris Grimshaw on August 14, 2015, 02:10:10 PM
Hi All

Write up attached of a card from FPO 81, 8th November 1918 during their march into Bulgaria and return, a new recorded date and location for this FPO based on John Slingsby,  Postal History of the Army of the Black Sea.

I'm currently planning a article on this period following on from John's work and would welcome any new information friends may have.

Cheers

Chris

You had me worried when I tried finding this place - The Times History of WW1 Atlas showed it in Serbia, S.E. of Belgrade. However a modern map showed a different one in Bulgaria, E of Serres and Petrich.
7/93 also recorded with FPO 81 19 JA 19
