Other Information - Description: Entry in Mission Diary for November 23rd 1936: "It is difficult to see the procession clearly for the cloud of dust it raises. Leading it are mounted standard bearers dressed in cloth of silver and high witch-like Mongolian hats. Following them are fifty or sixty mounted monk officials wearing gold lacquer hats or large yellow fireman-like helmets of wool" ['Lhasa Mission, 1936: Diary of Events', Part IX p. 4, written by Chapman] [MS 01/04/2006]
