Title:

The Mission Post at Gyang-tse. Photographer: White, John Claude

Scope & Content:

Genre: Landscape Photography

View of tents in front of the wall of the mission, with an Indian soldier on sentry duty: 'This is where the Mission sustained what may almost be called a state of seige for several months. They were under constant fire from the Jong, and on the occasion of the first fight at Kha-Ru-La, when many of the garrison were away with that force, a large body of the enemy attempted to rush the Mission Post, and one man actually got over the wall.' Another copy (printed in platinum) at Photo 430/53 (26).
