Nathu La Pass, Sikkim, India, near Changu Lake, from a fascinating album which reveals new details on a little-known campaign in which a British military force brushed aside Tibetan defences to capture Lhasa, in 1904
Nathu La Pass, Sikkim, India, near Changu Lake, from a fascinating album which reveals new details on a little-known campaign in which a British military force brushed aside Tibetan defences to capture Lhasa, in 1904. The Tibet Expedition was launched from India and sanctioned by Lord Curzon, Viceroy of India, who was concerned over Russian influence and supposed advance toward the border. The expedition eventually gained a number of concessions from Tibet, nominally under Chinese control at the time, but whether the effort was worth the return is certainly up for debate. This album came by direct descent from the family of Captain William Charles Hayman, ADC to the expedition's leader, Colonel Francis Younghusband of the Indian Political Service (Younghusband was accompanied by a strong military escort commanded by Brigadier General James Macdonald). The photographs show various elements of the expedition: military, monasteries, scenery, towns and locals. Date: 1904

EDITORS COMMENTS
Nathu La Pass, Sikkim, India: A Window to the Past - Unveiling the Untold Story of the 1904 Tibet Expedition This photograph, taken near Changu Lake in Sikkim, India, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the little-known details of a historic military campaign. The image showcases Nathu La Pass, a high mountain pass that serves as a vital gateway to Tibet. In 1904, this pass became a pivotal point in the Tibet Expedition, an ambitious mission launched from India under the sanction of Lord Curzon, the Viceroy of India. The expedition was instigated due to growing concerns over Russian influence and perceived encroachment on the Indian border. The ultimate objective was to secure concessions from Tibet, which was nominally under Chinese control at the time. This fascinating album, passed down through generations, offers a unique perspective on this intriguing chapter in history. The photographs within this album, taken by an unidentified photographer, depict various aspects of the expedition. Military scenes show the British forces preparing for battle and engaging with Tibetan defenders. Monasteries, towns, and local populations are also captured, providing a glimpse into the diverse culture and landscape of the region. Among the notable figures in these images are Colonel Francis Younghusband of the Indian Political Service and his Adjutant, Captain William Charles Hayman. Younghusband was accompanied by a strong military escort, commanded by Brigadier General James Macdonald. The expedition ultimately succeeded in gaining concessions from Tibet, but the question of whether the effort was worth the return remains a topic of debate. This photograph, taken in 1904, serves as a testament to the rich history of the region and the courageous men who played a role in shaping its future. The album, which has been passed down through the Hayman family, offers a rare and captivating insight into this fascinating period of history.
