ABSTRACT
GENERAL FAUNCE and his men had worked hard and well. By May, 1888, the advance had been made good as far as Toklaing, called Fort White. But although that place was only a short distance (thirty miles) from Falam, the main settlement of the Tashons, we had not been able to reach it. This tribe was known to be the most numerous and the most influential of the Chins in these parts, and their subjugation was essential.
