New discovery? Although Proud says that F.P.O. was allotted to the S.A.A.P.O. he doesn't state where. This cover almost certainly ties it down to S.A. Repatriation Unit at Brighton & Hove and gives us a date of use (Proud's example is dated 27/5/45 but no area is given. Any information regarding strikes in member's collections would be appreciated.

I came across this cover on Ebay. It is addressed to Bournemouth where the repatriation center was and could have been posted from there, My reason for thinking this is the 'On Service' cachet. SA used the term 'On Service' while in SA i.e. Not on 'Active Service. Did they revert back to it when the war was over for the POW? Any ideas? Has anyone else seen this cachet?
