Meaning of abbreviation 'BUP'?
« on: Thursday 17 February 22 17:21 GMT (UK) »
I've been reading some reports in British newspapers in 1944 where quotations are attibuted to "BUP', "BUP War Correspondent", 'BUP correspondent' and 'Reuter and BUP'. Can anyone tell me what BUP was?

It’s obvious now you’ve explained it JenB. I obviously wasn’t looking in the right place or using the right search terms! Thank you for the link to the article which is very useful.
