British Field Post Office postal orders
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Most British Field Post Offices (or BFPO for short) issued postal orders. BFPOs are located in Commonwealth of Nations (including the former British Commonwealth) and other foreign countries.

These may be given articles in their own right (such as 'BFPOs in Afghanistan'.).
[edit] BFPOs in Commonwealth countries
The postal orders that are known to have been issued by such BFPOs may be listed in a separate section under the appropriate country. For example, a British postal order that is issued at the British United Nations Field Post Office in Nicosia may be listed under Postal Orders of Cyprus, whereas, a British postal order issued at Dhekelia may be listed under Postal Orders of the Dhekelia SBA.
[edit] BCFPOs
These are a special type of BFPO, as these are located in embassies (if located in a foreign country) or a High Commission (if located in a Commonwealth of Nations country).
[edit] Services
BFPOs are usually operated by British Army units. However, the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy may also open BFPOs as well.
[edit] Trivia
It has now been confirmed that the British Field Post Office on Diego Garcia never issued British postal orders.
