U.S. A.P.O. Covers
Soldier's Free Mail 1942 U.S. Army Postal Service A.P.O. [930] Tongatuba, Tonga to Los Angeles, Cal. Army Censor. MONARCH SIZE
The basics of an A.P.O. cover are simply. Two key points here are the use of [brackets] when there is no A.P.O. number in the cancel, where the number is inferred from the return address. The location follows the A.P.O. number. You will always be given the location.
4c Lincoln 1954 Liberty 1958 Army-Air Force Postal Service A.P.O. 44 Poitiers, France QSL F7ER Card to London.
Follow the wording in the cancel. Please note how to handle Q.S.L. Cards. These are sent by ham radio operators to acknowledge reception of distant stations. The view side is rarely scanned or described beyond the station name.
