Longman, Civil Assembly Centre, Weihsien, Shantung, China' addressed to Boscombe, England cancelled by Framed 'Internee Mail Free/ of Postage/ Shanghai P.O.' in violet on face with adjacent Shanghai date stamp. In China the relieving American Forces introduced a hand-stamp to indicate that the mail enclosed was internee mail and therefore passed free of postage. All mail to Europe was routed via India. Very fine.
