500        |a The Pangsha Expedition took place at the end of 1936 and was a punitive expedition led by Mills to rescue children who had been abducted and sold into slavery. Pangsha was a notoriously warlike village in unadministered territory close to the border between India and Burma, whose warriors were constantly mounting head-hunting raids on the surrounding villages. It was during these raids that the children had been captured. The area was unexplored and the villages had never seen a white man. Mills did not even know the exact location of Pangsha. Every day while he was away, Mills wrote to his wife. This journey into the territory of hostile head-hunters was a dangerous undertaking, and Mills wrote: 'For some weeks I have had a feeling I should not come back from this show, but now that has suddenly completely worn off.' The letters were found many years later, edited by his daughter and published by the Pitt Rivers Museum.

500        |a Album Y was given to Mills by Haimendorf as a Christmas present. It contains photographs by Christoph Fürer-Haimendorf of the Pangsha Expedition in which both he and Mills took part. Some of the photographs were later published in Haimendorfs book The Naked Nagas , (Methuen 1939), which contains an account of the expedition. The last five pictures were taken when Haimendorf was studying the Konyaks of Wakching. There is also a set of Haimendorfs contact prints of this expedition and photographs taken by Mills and others in one of the boxes of this collection.

520 3    |a The Kalyo-Kengyu village of Pangsha burning. As a punishment for its slave taking activities, Mills ordered that Pangsha be burnt. The villagers had all fled at the approach of the column, removing their property and hiding it in the jungle. The bamboo and thatch dwellings could easily be rebuilt, but this punishment meted out to Pangsha was received with much rejoicing by the surrounding villages who had long been subjected to Pangsha's reign of terror. On retiring from the village, four Nagas of Mills' party were nearly cut off by a Pangsha ambush, but managed to escape.
