Deciphering & Look Up Request, Please.

Look up and handwriting deciphering request, please:

Alex 1a.jpg

The postcard above, dated 1915, is signed 'Frank', and appears to have been sent by a 'Pte. London' stationed at Alexandria. I would be grateful if someone would be kind enough to look up a 'Pte. Frank London', please.

Also, I cannot quite make out the unit designation written at the top, and would appreciate members' assistance with this as well. I believe it says something like:

'S.O.A.S.'
'Not to be surcharged'

'Pte. London 2540
Signal troop
[?] [?] Med Bgde
2nd [M?] DIV
[Brit?] Med Exped Force'

Thanks in advance,
