This is a card franked with 1s British Occupation sent from Iraq late december 1918 to China ----May I ask where are the place names on the December 5 postmark of the cancelled postage pattern and the two postmarks on December 17 and 18 next to it, that is to say, where are these three postal datemarks stamped?
There is a red round check stamp on the postcard, where is this check stamp cancelled?

These censor hand stamps are from the MEF (Mesopotamian Expeditionary Force, British Army with lots of Indian Army troops. The MEF fought mostly in present day Iraq and less so in Syria.
