India Peace Memorial and Imphal War Cemetery - Imphal
A glimpse of the Indian Peace Memorial and Imphal war cemetery.
This was constructed by the Japanese Government on the site of the Battle of Red Hill (Pt. 2926) or Maibam Lokpaching, on the Tiddim Road. The Battle took place from May 20-29, 1944, and was the closest the Japanese got to Imphal from the south. The Memorial was inaugurated in 1994 on the 50th Anniversary of the Battle of Imphal.
The Battle of Imphal took place in the region around the city of Imphal, the capital of the state of Manipur in North-East India from March until July 1944. Japanese armies attempted to destroy the Allied forces at Imphal and invade India, but were driven back into Burma with heavy losses. Together with the simultaneous Battle of Kohima on the road by which the encircled Allied forces at Imphal were relieved, the battle was the turning point of the Burma Campaign, part of the South-East Asian Theatre of the Second World War. The defeat at Kohima and Imphal was the largest defeat to that date in Japanese history.
The northeast Indian state of Manipur was a key battleground during the Second World War. A quiet corner of the Raj until then, in 1942 it suddenly found itself on the frontier between the Japanese in Burma (now Myanmar) and the British in India. It turned into a massive battlefield in 1944 when the Japanese, together with Indian National Army (INA) units, launched Operation U Go, with its main objective of capturing Imphal, Manipur’s capital. The period from March to July of that year saw fierce fighting take place across the state in what is called the Battle of Imphal.
On April 20, 2013, the combined battle of Imphal/Kohima was voted Britain's Greatest Battle by the National Army Museum of the UK.

WAR CEMETERY AT IMPHAL, MANIPUR
THE IMPHAL WAR CEMETERY:
The cemetery is located in Imphal, in a small locality of Dewlahland 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) away from the Imphal International Airport. It is approachable from the Imphal-Dimapur Highway 39, through a branch road which is about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) to the right of the highway and in front of the DM College.
This peaceful, impeccably maintained graveyard is the last resting place of more than 1600 British and other Allied soldiers and airmen killed in the Imphal area during WWII. Most of them died during the Battle of Imphal (March to July 1944), one of the most intense battles of WWII, in which Allied forces repulsed a Japanese attack on eastern India. The memorial has markers with brass plaques with the name of each of the fallen and also includes nameless/unidentified brave-hearts as well.
The place with its scenic and serene beauty now serves as a favourite for both the young and old.
It provides a place for meditation and recreation away from the madding hustle-bustle of the city life. The sound of the birds chirping, the harmony made by the tree leaves as the breeze blows, the variety of flowers that grow and the fresh green grass all present a heart-warming atmosphere.
As such, the fallen brave-hearts too, we believe, are lying there in peace.
Sadly, as the place has been frequented by many people, wastes and garbage could be seen scattered in the vicinity. It is disheartening as it shows not only our lack of civic-sense, but also lack of respect for the soldiers who lay there.
The concerned authorities must initiate necessary measures to raise awareness and at the same time the public too must play their parts as well.
PEACE!!

Japanese, Australian envoys visit war cemetery in Imphal
Imphal, May 29 (ANI): Ambassador of Japan to India, Takeshi Yagi along with Australian High Commissioner to India, Patrick Suckling visited Imphal to attend the 71st anniversary of Battle of Imphal. The commemoration programme was observed at Maibam Lotpa Ching, also known as Red Hill, and was organised by Manipur tourism forum along with Second World War Imphal Campaign Foundation. The Battle of Imphal took place in 1944 in regions around the city of Imphal, from March until July, when Japanese troops poured over the border to strike at India. Fought over a vast area of jungle and mountain, it was marked by vicious hand-to-hand fighting. Lieutenant General William Slim's army of British, Indian, Gurkha and African troops fought in horrendous jungle conditions, turning the tide against the Japanese army in World War II. Meanwhile, Suckling said it's an honour to be called for the anniversary programme of a historic battle. Both Yagi and Suckling paid their respects to the fallen soldiers at Commonwealth War Grave Centre (CWGC) Imphal War Cemetery.

Imphal War Cemetery
Imphal, the capital of Manipur State, is in north east India and borders on upper Burma. The cemetery lies10km from the airport on the Imphal-Dimapur road (Highway 39) in the Deulahland district of the town. The small road leading to the cemetery is 1km along this highway on the right side, opposite the D M College.
Historical Information:
The easiest route from Burma (now Myanmar) to India is through Imphal into Assam and after the invasion of Burma, Imphal became a focal point in the defence of India against the Japanese.
Early in 1942, as the Japanese approached Rangoon, a very large proportion of its Indian population fled from the city to India, many of them to Upper Burma and so by Chindwin tracks to Assam. In May of that year, Commonwealth forces followed the same route on their retreat to India. In their wake came still more civilian refugees, many of whom died on the arduous journey under ceaseless heavy rain, without transport and food. Of the 400,000 civilians who fled to India about 140,000 passed through Imphal into Assam.
The defence of India and the retention of a position from which Burma could be re-entered now became of primary importance. The 23rd Indian Division was formed in Manipur State, new airfields were constructed there, and army and air force reinforcements arrived. Eventually there was a considerable concentration of Commonwealth fighting forces in the Imphal area and from November 1944 onwards, No. 38 General Hospital was posted there.
Strategically well placed for attacks on the lines of communication by railway, road and river which were vital for the maintenance of all Allied operations in Burma, Imphal with its airfields was a main objective when the Japanese made their thrust towards India in the spring of 1944. There was severe fighting in the surrounding hills and on the outskirts of the plain and the Japanese succeeded in cutting a long section of the Imphal-Kohima road and holding it for over three months. The Fourteenth Army held on grimly, inflicting heavy punishment on the Japanese. Of all the battles on this frontier of India the siege of Imphal and its relief in the summer of 1944 rank next in importance to the Battle of Kohima.
There were originally some 950 burials in Imphal War Cemetery, but after hostilities had ceased, the Army Graves Service brought in graves from two smaller cemeteries in Imphal and from isolated positions in the surrounding region. The cemetery now contains 1,600 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War.

The Battle of Imphal
The Battle of Imphal
Resulted in 70,000 Japanese casualties. What are the facts regarding the WWII operation to invade India from Burma? We take an in-depth look at the brutal fighting and retreat. Part 1: A Reckless Operation In March 1944, 90,000 Japanese troops massed on the Burma-India border, waiting for orders to move. Their target: the Indian city of Imphal, an important Allied logistic base. Ahead was the great Chindwin River, 600 meters wide in places, as well as a mountain range with many peaks over 2,000 meters. What lay out of sight was the overwhelming strength of the British Army and disease and starvation from a lack of reinforcements. Despite reservations within Army Headquarters, the operation moved forward. Part 2: Retreat from Hell As the three-week decisive battle envisioned by army top brass extended into months, the Japanese troops taking part in the Battle of Imphal soon realized they were in trouble. Disease and starvation set in when supplies and reinforcements failed to arrive. When the retreat order was given in July 1944, the real suffering still lay ahead. Completely cut off from provisions, survivors trudged through the wettest area on earth. 60% of the 30,000 who perished died after the operation was called off.
