Burma image, WAP0088. Lasang Gam, H&S.
***** "Lasang Gam was King's Orderly Officer in 1930. The Yawyins have shown marked military qualities. They did well in Mesopotamia in spite of the fierce heat, and won promotion and distinction out of all proportion to their numbers. Their enlistment might well be extended but unfortunately the accessible colonies in British territory are limited, though unexpected immigrations occur now and then, as that into Mogok in 1907. In Mogok there now appear to be about 1,350 Yawyins. In Bhamo there are four villages, in Sima five (containing 105 houses), in Sadon about thirty, and in Panwa perhaps five or six." ['Races of Burma', Major C. M. Enriquez, Meiktila, 1920, p.63A/B]
***** "In spite of their remoteness, I managed to visit a few of these Yawyin villages, notably Hkringmu-dan. The name means 'bracken land'. It was a long climb over hills covered with grass and ferns. The Yawyins of Hkringmu-Dan are Lasangs. They seem to intermarry with the Mitungs who live across the valley on the opposite mountain top at Shang Tai." ['Races of Burma', Major C. M. Enriquez, Meiktila, 1920, p.26]
