The Chin-Lushai Expedition: crossing a river near Kolymyo, 1890. 'It has been explained, with reference to our Illustrations of the military expedition sent from Calcutta, under Brigadier-Colonel Tregear, to the highlands above Chittagong, north-east of the Gulf of Bengal, that this force acts in co-operation with the forces conducted by Brigadier-General Symons from Burmah...We now learn, by telegraph, that they met and formed a junction, near Haka, in the last week of February, occupying the country of the Southern Baungshe Chin tribes, whose Lushai allies have offered no material resistance to the advance of Brigadier Tregear's column from Demagiri; a military road will now be constructed and made secure between the coast of the Gulf of Bengal and the Irrawaddy...We have received two Sketches from a military correspondent, Lieutenant W. Hussey Walsh, of the Cheshire Regiment, a detachment of which, under Major Edge, forms part of the Northern Column under Colonel Skene, of the Burmese Chin expedition, with headquarters at Fort White. [One shows] the crossing of the river Mitha, near Kolymyo, or Kaley Myew, with coolies landing stores from the boats, and officers taking account of the packages brought over'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
