Notes

Abstract:
Mills was Sub-Divisional Officer, and later Assistant Commissioner at Mokokchung from 1917-24 and this was his base, though he would have spent much of his time on tour around his area. In 1946 W.G. Archer was due to be appointed there, and Mills wrote to him: "Mokokchung is 4500 feet up, in a good climate. The bungalow has a drawing room, dining room, and two bedrooms, with bathrooms... For your garden you have the whole of the top of a hill." The bungalow was four days' march from the nearest road, so all possession had to be carried up by porters. In 1919 it was probably much the same. There was no plumbing of course, and the bathroom would have contained a tin bath which was filled with hot water from the kitchen. Because of the risk of fire, the kitchens were always built separately from the house and joined to it by a covered way. ( en )
