I have 2 covers of 1971, each with FOAS at the top.
Does this mean "Free On Active Service" - or what, please?

I can't imagine it would be anything else other than Free on Active Service, a term used in WW2.

This was the year in which Bangladesh was created with support from Pakistan.

Thanks, Alistair. That is exactly what I thought, but decided I should not bias respondents!
