Would any forum members with a special interest in postal history be able to help with this brief lookup request please?

My understanding is that the works by Kennedy & George or Proud have breakdowns of which "Passed by Censor" stamps were with which units as they rotated

If this is so, I should be grateful if anyone has the time to have a quick look for this one

Triangular Stamp
Passed By Censor
1072

Army Post Office Stamp
A
12 MY 15

Army Post Office Stamp
B
12 MY 15

Many thanks in advance of your help

Atmy PO R6 was allocated to 6th Division Railhead

Triangular Censor 1072 seems to have been allocated to a Red Cross Hospital in the Boulogne area.

Hope that helps
