British Postal Stationery Card used by Forces in Burma

The Lady Provost's Comforts Fund for H.M. Forces was a charitable organization in the United Kingdom that operated during World War I and World War II.  The purpose of the fund was to provide comforts and necessities to British servicemen and women serving in the Armed Forces during times of war. 

The Lady Provost's Comforts Fund for H.M. Forces sent goody parcels from home to soldiers fighting in the war.  A returned thank you card, shown below, signed and send home.


The card was cancelled with FPO No 82, dated 22 Jan 44. The location of this FPO on that date was in Tidim, chin state, Burma.  The FPO 82 was in Tidim from 14 Nov 1943 to 4 Mar 1944.  This FPO moved in and out of Burma and India over the time.  It was disbanded at Kamptee India on 23 Jun 1947.
