1860 (25 August) a neat blue cover sent from Chefoo to Lyon from French Military BAU B Office. Desrousseaux records the French Bureau B datestamp used in Chefoo from June 11 to August, 1860. Bureau B base office was officially moved to Tientsin around October 1860 where it remained there until October 1861, further removed to Saigon then. This mail is supposed the last date usage in Chefoo military base for French troops. Very good French military mail.
