Please can anyone help with this cachet on a pacel wrapper? DPO/ON ACTIVE SERVICE/SOLDIER'S GIRTS/?/?. Does the DPO stand for 'Divisional Post Office'? Does anyone know what the bottom part of the cachet should read?

I think  the word is GIFTS

I agree with Alan - the word is GIFTS.

I haven't seen such a cachet before - thus don't know what is below SOLDIER'S GIFTS

I'm glad you think its DPO - I thought it was OPO !  Still don't know what it stands for though.  A real mystery.

Hi Mike and Alan,
I did not make myself very clear. It is the possible wording underneath 'Soldier's Gifts'. It could be a straight line but underneath that there seem to be two words.

I agree that it is two separate words. The righthand one appears to be in lower case, the left in capitals. The latter seems to start with "VA" and then possibly "L". VALUE?
