The Chin-Lushai Expedition: view of the Chin Hills from 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, on the opposite or eastern side of those highlands...We have received two Sketches from a military correspondent, Lieutenant W. Hussey Walsh, of the Cheshire Regiment, a detachment of which...forms part of the Northern Column under Colonel Skene..., with headquarters at Fort White. [One] is a view from the front of the Kolymyo camp, where a high railing of barbed iron wire has been erected for defence against a sudden rush. The summit of Kennedy's Peak, to the right hand, is 10,090 ft. high. Stockades are erected on the sides of the mountains...Behind the centre of the background of hills is Fort White. In the foreground are seen a party of troops, the E Company of the 1st Battalion Cheshire Regiment, with baggage elephants, going to the front. To the left is the signalling-station, with the heliograph and telescope, and a soldier waving a flag'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
