Picture showing Abhors/ADIs in a camp -riga village- seeing the british officer major Bower and his troops approaching ANGLO ADI WAR 1911 A force of nearly 1000 soldiers, military police was sent to find the murderers of Noel Williamson and his attendants. This was a massive response from the British to ABHORS and it can be remembered as a brutal war between the colonial and ADI people in history. According to me this war was more deliberate in compare to Anglo-adi war in 1850s under Major Carter. On 18th December the britishers camped at yambung village not very far from kebang village. On that day ADIS headmen from komsing and riu village came to the camp with a friendly manner and told the Britishers major Bower that the incident was of innocence act, this was termed by the britishers as the courage of ADI people to come and approach the British. This story was published by a British journalist at Calcutta , and was also told that major genera Bower believed the story narrated by the ADI headman. But as I told before the Britishers had to catch the culprits, so there was an incident that the British army burned down the kebang village, knowing the attack the ADIS came down from rima-ruksin to repel the attack but they couldn’t succeed.
