On 13 December 1903, Colonel Francis Edward Younghusband, Commander
of the Order of the Indian Empire, British Commissioner for Tibet
Frontier Matters, once more crossed over from Sikkim to Tibet, this
time over the Jelap (Dzelap) La. True to his Edwardian heritage,
his personal luggage alone filled 29 containers and included 67
shirts, camp suit, camp dinner suit, an assortment of coats and
hats, a prodigious supply of underwear, an umbrella and a campaign
bath. This is the story of the British invasion of Tibet, the
negotiations with the Tibetan government and the eventual signing
of a peace treaty on 7 September 1904, told through excerpts from
official correspondence between the Commission and India and from
diaries kept by Colonel Younghusband and Captain O'Connor. The
transliteration of names, in the text and in the maps, follows the
usage of the period.
