Title: Trying to get a date
Post by: peterbmillzz on Monday 31 December 12 09:19 GMT (UK)

Hi
I am trying to get a date from this postmark.  I know the letter was posted in Lavenham Suffolk in (99% sure) 1942.  It predates my parents wedding which took place on the 8th August.  My Father was here (I think training) with the RAMC.  Mum was at home in Sunbury on Thames.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
Peter

The date seems to be faded too much Peter, all I can see is it was sent at 5.pm
