500        |a This photograph is part of album E. Like the albums A to D, this album contains photographs taken in the Konyak country in 1923. J.P. Mills was travelling with J.H. Hutton in April and October, but probably without him in August. This album mainly contains photographs taken during a punitive expedition in April 1923 to the Konyak village of Yungya, certain inhabitants of which had carried out a head-hunting raid on Kamahu. J.P. Mills was Assistant Commissioner, Mokokchung at this time. He accompanied J.H. Hutton, Deputy Commissioner, Kohima, who was his superior and therefore wrote the official Tour Diary for the expedition. The military escort ot Gurkhas was commanded by Captain W.B.S. Shakespear. The Konyak tribe lived in the northern part of the Naga Hills. To the west the Konyaks bordered the Assam plains and the Ao Nagas; on the south-east were the Phoms, and on the east the Singphos of Burma. At the time of these photographs much of their country was unadministered and little known and some of the villages visited during this expedition had never before been seen by Europeans.

520 3    |a Mills went to the village of Yungya to free prisoners from other villages. Coming back from this expedition, he arrived at the village Kamahu wiht four of the prisoners and was received with a dance of welcome performed by the women of which this is one, the widow of Hampe, wearing her late husband's hat, etc. He wrote to Balfour that "they wore men's hats, boar's tushes and carried headless spears. The dance was at the prisoners and presumably meant to show them the sex and quality of the warriors good enough to beat them... I think it was lucky the prisoners had a guard on them, or they would have been scratched to bits".
