An area I like

Shown is the page covering Censor 370, allocated to British Military Mission South Russia.

Raises a couple of questions, what's the earliest anyone records or has seen usage. also any later usage?

F D on his printed spreadsheets has an entry for late 1918  "OHMS LDN or LDK 7" anyone any clues on this.

Whether this helps or not I don't know - but LDN is a common abbreviation for LONDON.
I don't know if this makes sense in your context.

Looking at it closely it is definately OHMS LDN - now is it a 7 or a Z ?  He writes his 7 and Z with a line through the slope.  It could be that this refers to a London civil postmark?

Thanks Mike

Think you're correct here. Could be one of the Naval markings, early mail is known with censor 7 / 370 and RFHMS cancels
