Do any of our military cover experts know anything about the purple “V” over the “FREE” franking mark? Thank you!

So this was probably applied by the sender?

maybe the APO had one or both of these colorful hand cancels lying about; but it's not a postal marking

I know Philatelia isn't around (I would suspect she may lurk) and I just saw this post.

APO 860 was Reykjavik, Iceland from 1941 to 1947.

It's a pretty rare cancel.
