 * Keep Williamson was a key player in The Great Game during the struggle in East Turkestan between Jin Shuren, Hoja-Niyaz and others. He was also involved with setting British policy with regard to Tibet, see for example One Hundred Thousand Moons: An Advanced Political History of Tibet. Some of his later career is covered in his wife's memoir cited in the article.  He is not to be confused with the more well-known Chief Superintendent Frederick Williamson of the CID. --Bejnar (talk) 08:52, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
