I think this is HHMS Helle (alternate spelling of Elli), a Greek naval base in Egypt.  Situated somewhere on the Suez Canal perhaps?  There was unrest and a mutiny there in 1944.

Do you have copies of the enclosure and ambulance cover you mention?  They may provide additional clues.

Did you end up receiving copies of the missing pages?

Hello Ross

4th West African Trades Training School (W.A.T.T.S.) was situated at Assuantsi.

A poignant reminder.

Thank you for sharing Susan.

Not doubting Morenweiser, but a Penang marking sounds unusual.

Malcolm H Wade writing in The Malayan Philatelist, Vol 22, No 2 , March-April 1981, p.22 "Civilian Censorship of mail in Malaya, 1939-42" suggests this is a Singapore marking, which would make more sense. 

Thanks Chris  :)
