The Galon Lama, or "receiver of commands," ranks immediately below the ruler of 

 Tibet, who resides in Lhasa. The Galon Lama of Chiamdo was the commander-in-chief of 

 the Tibetan army at the time when Dr. Shelton was asked to aid the wounded and sick 

 warriors of the Tibetan forces (see text, page 319).
