1912 Postmark - Which camp

[Peter Harvey]

I might be going made (or blinded by the amount of covers on my desk), but I can not work out what camp this postmark is...

Any thoughts please?

I suggest you send your query to Geoff Hanney - he is doing research on Camp Postmarks of the UK (as an update to Kingston's book of many, many years ago).  He rarely looks at the Forum (far too busy with other activities/responsibilities).

Looks like WORGRET CAMP to me, Peter.

In response to Philip's suggestion I found your postmark in "Skeleton Postmarks of England & Wales", Third Edition 2006 compiled by Patrick Awcock and John Frost and published by the British Postmark Society.  WORGRET / CAMP (no county shown) dates seen used: JY 30 / 12 to AU 8 / 12 (date in two lines: month day / year) (31mm diameter with the note G missing, which is clearly the case in your illustration.
