Burma image, WA0462. Self and Kachins in Chin hills. R. Photograph taken by James Henry Green in Chin Land, Burma (Myanmar). It was taken in the 1920s. The peoples of the Upper Chindwin are not well-known to me for I have only on one brief tour visited the Kuki chins and the Nagas who love in the hills around Tamanthi and Kanti. We have however a few Kuki Chins known to us as Thados from the Chin Hills serving in my regiment? [dissertation, 1934:9] *****I have unfortunately very little knowledge of the Kukis and fear I can add little to our knowledge of the tribe. I once recruited a few members of the tribe as an experiment to serve with other Chins in the Burma rifles, and have observed them as soldiers? [dissertation, 1934:276]
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.
