Information wanted on FPO 259 1945-46

[Michael Dobbs]

I have received the following enquiry:

[color=maroon]I am wondering about the location British FPO 259 after war from 1945 to 1946. It was said to be in Singapore. Is it true?[/color]

I have responded as follows:

[color=blue]Unfortunately we do not have very much information on that FPO number.  The following information has been taken from:
History of British Army Postal Service, Volume III 1927-63, undated, Edited by Edward B Proud and published by Proud Bailey Co Ltd c.1982
It shows  FPO 259:

Singapore      May 46?
Seremban ?  July 46[/color]

Does anyone have any further information please?

Thanks, Mike  :)
