When Green travelled to the Triangle area in Kachin lands in 1925 he was accompanied by the following: 'My party consisted of myself, Rifleman Pasi La in charge of five other Kachin riflemen of the 10/20th Burma Rifles, a village policeman from Sumpra Bum, my Kachin cook Ma Gam of Sima, a Chinese muleteer, two men sent by the Singgaphkang Agiwa [headman], and two men attached by the Political Officer of Sumpra Bum (Mr. B. Fischer).These last two, Kasha Gam and Lama Nawng, both influential headmen from administered territory, proved invaluable. Kasha Gam had been a guide to the original Putao Expedition. I myself carried a shot gun, and secretly a revolver, but otherwise the party was entirely unarmed except for dahs [swords]' ['Account of a Tour in the Triangle', Green, 1925, p.1]
Self and some of the party during a rest. Except in the hills rough roads exist throughout the Shan States and bullock cart transport is slow but sure.
