Would like to locate a Posting Station.

Last year I bought a posting/letter card which was written by a Lt Colonel Baula Ponupe(I am sorry if the last name is spelled incorrect as the colonel was at the end of the card and had little space left to write larger).
I can not find a unit but the postal station is number 180,where was this located should any one know.
The card is dated the latter part of 1942.
I also notice on the front of the card there is a light green color strip on the card dose this mean anything?
Is it possible to find the history of this Lt colonel?
Thanks for any help.

T, S means Transdniester, Stalingrad

Since the date is 1942, I presume the location is Stalingrad.

Thank you for the help!
The letter is from the Starlingrad area and if Iam reading the date correctly it is dated around october 1942.
Infact it is dated october 13th,1942.
We all know what happen the next month in that area.
Is it possible to find out more about this soldier since he was a higher rank?maybe a photo of him may be around?

But how was that : TrasDniester (Transnistria ), Stalingrad ?

Baula Ponupe is quite an odd name for a romanian. I wonder which was his nationality.

Trans-Dniester in 1941, Stalingrad in 1942

The first two or three letter on the colonel last name is hard to read as his writing became smaller.
Iam looking at his card and it is possible that his last name reads begins with a "F" and not a"P" as I thought.
The name could read F_UPE,can anyone add any letters to make a last name which would work?
If the colonel was with the 1st cavalry would any records of his service survive the war?
Just for my information but if the colonel was with 1st cav was this unit outside the stalingrad pocket after the encirclement or trapped inside the city?
Any one know what that light green color stripe on the front of the card means?
I have other postal cards from other soldiers and never seen this on any of the other one.
Was this 1st cav still uesing Horses at this time?

Most of the 1st Cavalry Division was caught in the encirclement. It was one of the horse only cavalry division, but it had assigned to it one of the battalions of the 1st Motorized Artillery Regiment of the 1st Armored Division.
