The Lushai Expedition: officers checking stores after crossing a river, 1890. 'Our correspondent, Lieutenant H. W. G. Cole, of the 3rd Goorkhas, with Brigadier-Colonel Tregear's expedition going up the Kurnaphuli River to the Lushai highlands, above Chittagong and the north-east coast of the Bay of Bengal, made Sketches of the headquarters camp at Demagiri, and of the march by forest and mountain paths to the interior of that wild country. One of the Sketches now presented...shows officers on duty taking an account of the stores landed from boats after crossing a river on the march. This column of troops from Bengal has since arrived at Haka, and formed a junction with the main force of the Chin Expedition, under General Symons, from Upper Burmah, which is expected shortly to attack the Tashons, the most powerful of the Chin tribes, in order to break up the hostile league of those people against the British Indian rule in Burmah. The southern tribes have already submitted'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
