Army Examiner Stamped Card

Any Idea how old this may be?




*** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***

This is a World War II censorship marking. I can't date it any better, but perhaps a censorship expert can.

Given the APO number on the address and the fact it's a French postcard I would say 1944 or 1945.

From "Alphabetical Listing of APOs, January 1942 - November 1947,
Prepared by Army Postal Service and Strength Accounting Branches, AGO

APO 230 First Army

Bristol England Oct 10, 1943

There are more accurate listing of this type, but this is a "free" publication which I found on line, and use it as a starting place for seaches

Thanks. I had forgotten where I found the list back in 2012. Must be that philatelic altzheimers gene kicking in.
