Hamilton was correspondent and photographer for the Central News Agency on these missions whose surveys provided the data for the McMahon Line in 1914 which set the boundary between India and Tibet along the Assam Himalaya. The Arbor Mission was actually a ‘frontier campaign’ led by Hamilton Bower against the Arbor for the murder of Williamson, Assistant Political Officer at Sadiya. The Mishmi Mission was led by Dundas to “ascertain the precise extent of Chinese Tibetan encroachment on the Mishmi-Arbor border”. Yakushi H48. Marshall 2350, 2351.
