    Hi, I‘ve seen these initials on a postcard and search results bring up D-day with no explanation. Does anyone know anything about this? Any information will be much appreciated. (Hope the photo comes through okay.)

    Hi, I thought so too. Do you know the exact meaning of the letters DBDQY? Thank you.

    Couldn't find anything online. WW2Talk may be more helpful.

    BTW, are we sure that second "D" is a D and not an O? Searched both ways, no joy.

    I can copy your image to WW2Talk if you'd like. They're heavy in Brits. Your call, I won't act without permission.

    Best I can think of is that the initial DB is D Battery

    But I'm just making that up
