Chris - sorry, I'm in a funny mood today confined to the house and trying to compile the FPHS Summer Newsletter - couldn't resist posting something closely resembling ANZAC in terms of spelling:

ANZUK Force - Australia, New Zealand & United Kingdom

ANZUK FPO 5 opened on 1 September 1971 and amongst the postmarks brought into use at the main office at Woodlands was a machine die inscribed ANZUK F.P.O. 5 and numbered 1.  This machine die replaced the British Fleet Mail Office 20 die and was in turn replaced by the B.F.P.O. 28 die once the ANZUK FPO 5 closed on 14 February 1974.

Now that's stretching things.

What happened to the address?

Just to continue with the confusing ANAC to ANZUK here is another of the post marks in use - the ANZUK FPO 5 number 5 and in 1973
