No idea, but as it was sent in 1941, perhaps it was the initials of a military establishment he was posted to? I don't think members of the armed forces were always allowed to say where they were.

Or maybe they'd invented a private code on the lines of N.O.R.W.I.C.H. ...

Blowed if I know the full story Mary, he was never a PoW but he served in India, Africa and Italy and somewhere else - I'm just not certain of the years

I just googled K.Z.D and it comes up with lots of Polish references. Nothing particualr for those initials though.
