| Summary: |
The column was travelling from Yunghong to Angpang. Hutton describes this as "a rather ticklish march, as the two villages are very much at war and Yunghong had the greatest reluctance to meeting Anpang and vice versa, and neither could carry on the land of the other, or have the other village on their land. Eventually we got Yunghong - with some difficulty - as far as the place where Angpang were waiting, there let them put [down] their loads and go, after which Angpang came out and picked them up". Interestingly, in chapter 14 of The Nagas, by Julian Jacobs, page 156, headed "Naga Nationalism" this photograph is captioned "Men squatting in the long grass and objecting to the passage of a column, Yunghong village". These men look scared, not warlike, and are not armed. |
