Probably one for Frank, I imagine

I am attaching a scan of a cover which I take to originate from the Destroyer Flotillas at Scapa Flow. It measures 35.5mm x 14mm, which is close to Gould 4B81.

Can anyone identify the censor?

No luck I'am afraid, tried all my CD roms for WW1

Tried various combinations ie
FWG, TWG, FW and TW, cannot make out the last bit

Looking at it again, it could be a full signature rather than initials. How about T Wright or T Walsh?

I take it there is no way of dating this covers. It is going to be one of the destroyers of 1 DF. If you had a date (and the time) you could go through the appropriate navy list for these ships and probably find a match but it is an almost impossible task without some idea as to date. Michael
