Translating the Cyrillic characters in this partial strike gives me, I think, "BUKURE...." But none of my sources list a place-name in Bulgaria beginning with those letters. And a GNS Search of that beginning combination in Bulgaria turned up "MLADEN." Huh? A name change? Appreciate any help IDing this place.
In Bulgarian, only one more character follows what is visible. BUKUREcz is a good candidate, but the position suggest there was something more at the top of the cancel.
At the bottom may be a Roman 'B' for Bucuresti, but also a Cyrillic 'V'. The TPO is a possibility, it might also be a cancellation from a station from which trains to Bucharest departed. Vayolene found the full one.
Bucharest was occupied from Bulgarian forces in 1916,the stamps with the text "Post in Romania 1916-1917" oveprints which images were posted by vayolene were issued for the purposes of the Bulgarian post in Romania.
