I have searched and searched. It is hard to find information in this area of collecting. Hopefully this thread may gather information that will help others.

GEO.ADAMS is George Adams who owned Tattersalls Lottery base in Tasmania.
I believe this address is a safe address for the true receiver of the letter? The number 051046 is Tattersalls reg No, on receiving the letter?
Not many covers came registered or were read by censor before sealing the envelope. This makes me think it is an Officer's letter.
I can find 2 covers online with 2 stamps to 6d. The 3d extra cost was for reg post?

Some of the Field Post Offices (FPO) is in the Netherlands West Indies and P&G area?
It has been very hard for me to find info but their is a book written by "Proud" that has the answers I believe. I do not have one. All the references are to auctions.
That is basically all I know about these covers.It just seems important to record these covers.

I will list 12 covers by dates and not by FPO numbers.

FPO 174 Oct 1945

Finally found the book on Australia FPO plus in the UK.

If you find nothing posted I will have added info on covers already posted. Also have another 20 covers all different to add.
