Peter,

        I have had a look and this is a type 3 Skeleton Single Ring Datestamp ( CAMP POSTMARKD OF THE UNITED KINGDOM by R.A. Kingston). With the "camp" below cancel this can only be Worgret Camp (Wareham, Dorset) and the cancel should be 31mm. This "camp" below cancel was used in 1912. I have seen 7 cards all dated for 1912 using this cancel.

                                                            Cheers
