At the time of his death, Sir Eric had been serving as adviser to the British Embassy at Chungking. ==Travels== Teichman has been described as "one of British diplomacy's dashing characters, () flamboyantly enigmatic explorer-cum-special agent.〔Winchester (2008)p.73〕 He went on a number of "special missions" and "fact-finding journeys" throughout Central Asia, as early as before World War I. In 1935 he travelled by truck across the Tarim basin to Kashgar, and there by pony and on foot across the Pamir and Karakoram ranges to Gilgit, and then to New Delhi.〔Winchester (2008) p.73-74〕 In 1943 he began on his final foreign journey from Chongqing. After caravaning as far as Lanzhou, his truck continued along the outer Silk Road, across the Tarim basin, and over the Pamir Mountains to New Delhi. From there he flew back to England, where a few days later, at the age of 60, he was killed.〔Winchester (2008) p.124〕
