From what I can see, for the location to be symmetrically positioned beneath 'N.Z.' you can only have three letters to the left of the 'R' of 'RAU' of which one is 'E'.

^ "BFPO" sounds like an army post office, and the style of the address (including the person's service number) confirms that.
Possibly the addressee is on one of the foreign army excursions such as Iraq or Afghanistan or Libya, and may have been killed, hence returned to sender. |
