Tibetan Army[edit]

(

... that the Tibetan Army was trained and sold supplies by the British government?

I like this. Photo is fine, long enough, new enough. Does saying 'supplied' imply that they were given the arms, and not that they bought them once? I don't know. One question - do we know why the British supported the Tibetan army? Secretlondon (talk) 23:45, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

The hook doesn't have to have the exact wording, it can be changed around where necessary. "Supplied" could be changed to "sold supplies". -- 李博杰 | —Talk contribs email 00:38, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

I agree that that it must have been in the hook that the Tibetan Army bought arms instead of just an ambiguous word like supplied. Its new enough and the hook was referenced by an offline source. Arius1998 (talk) 03:03, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

I've reworded the hook. If there is a better way to write it, feel free to make adjustments. -- 李博杰 | —Talk contribs email 08:05, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
