Other Information - Dates


Other Information - Dates: Macdonald had travelled with Hugh Richardson, Captain Battye and Dr Morgan to Gyantse where they awaited the arrival of Sir Basil Gould and the rest of the Mission party, with whom Richardson and Morgan would travel to Lhasa. David Macdonald departed from Gyantse on August 2nd, at which point Gould was en route from Yatung. This meeting, therefore, if the identification of the location as the Phari plain is correct, would have taken place on August 5th 1936 [MS 23/03/2006]
