Postal Depot), 22 AU 45 and arrived 20 SP 45(!). Hand-marked "airmail" but as no additional franking applied, sent by surface mail. The altered parent-command on return
address (Central Mediterranean Force / British Liberation Army) may explain the long transit time: Brigade transferred from Treviso to Belgium (July) via Germany,
assigned temp. to BAOR before reaching Belgium then Holland - army post didn't know which unit to bill for postage.
