O.P.'s

"the exact position having been chosen, S.W.P. requires to know following details..."

"Screens for Special Purposes, such as Flash-Road-ask for S.W.P. Officer."

SWP - Special Works Park, the euphenism for the branch of the Royal Engineers responsible for providing camouflage materials. In 1918 it became the Camouflage Park RE.
