[Ads-l] Earliest Known Occurrence of Etymythology of "Posh"

[Shapiro, Fred]

I have previously posted about the earliest known occurrence of the "port out starboard home" etymythology for the word "posh" in 1933.  I see an earlier occurrence in the Daily News (London), 5 Aug. 1932, page 6 (British Newspaper Archive).
