Can anyone tell me what the initials in front of the name Wright are on the top of this message

Looks like:

DR/OP. J. WRIGHT

OR

DR/CP. J. WRIGHT

Thanks for your reply, I wonder what the initials stand for, the note is from an Uncle Jack Wright.

DR/OP is an abbreviation for the rank of Driver/Operator, probably in the Royal Artillery but maybe in other arms of the army.  The rank was level with Gunner or Private, but the soldier would have specialist training and skills in driving - perhaps a 15 cwt truck - and operating an old-fashioned two-way radio - no transistorised stuff then.
His initial is J.
A

Thank you Ainslie, it probably was the RA as most of the family were in the Artillery, all but 2 who went in the RAF.
