75th Anniversary of battles of Kohima and Imphal
75 years ago today the tide of the Second World War took a significant turn in the East. As #DDay75 captured the world’s attention on the European front, the British 14th Army, under the uncompromising Lieutenant General Bill Slim, were engaged in a titanic struggle with the Japanese Fifteenth Army, which included the 1st Indian National Army Division. The Japanese aspired to capture the vast quantity of Allied supplies held in Imphal and Dimapur to sustain their advance into India. Had they achieved this, the outcome of the war could have been very different.
The Japanese stranglehold on the Allied forces in Imphal was finally broken when men of the 5th Indian Division, fighting north from #Imphal75 finally linked up with those of the British 2nd Division, who had fought south from #Kohima75, at milestone 109 on the Kohima - Imphal road.
Commemorations, attended by British, Indian and Japanese veterans and dignitaries were held to mark the 75th anniversary of both battles emphasising remembrance of the fallen, reconciliation between former adversaries and rebirth of the region in the 75 years since.

A Visit to Kohima War Cemetery, Nagaland | Suyojan India
Young Indian soldiers faced bullets in unfamiliar terrains during the Second World War (1939-1945), where soldiers from Nagaland fought for the British as part of the Allied Forces. Kohima War Cemetery is a sombre memorial located at the site of a significant battle that forced the Japanese army to retreat, dedicated to soldiers of the 2nd British Division of the Allied Forces who died in Kohima in April 1944.
There are two memorial crosses, one at the upper end and the other at the lower end of the cemetery. While the top part of the memorial is marked with a cross, at the lower part lies a bronze plate that carries an epitaph. The epitaph, titled the Kohima Epitaph, reads:
When you go home, tell them of us and say for your tomorrow we gave our today.
In this video from Suyojan's Archives, we also have a discussion with Mr Sachu, who witnessed the Second World War and owns a personal museum of war memorabilia, ranging from Japanese bombs that were dropped at Kohima to a Japanese Gramophone. He gives us insight into the days of the Second World War and its aftermath in the region.
Battle of Kohima Memorial | DAY 20
In our first trip to Kohima, we savored the ride in and the ride out and viewed the city and enjoyed the best kept garden in the city at the Battle of Kohima War Cemetery. Two major battles were fought in the North-East in World War II, the Battle of Kohima and the Battle of Imphal in Manipur. Sad to see the dozens of graves marked Known Unto God, evidently bodies never identified in the aftermath.

Tanks of the past, World War 2, at Kohima, Nagaland
After British Commonwealth forces in Europe and the Mediterranean began receiving M4 Shermans, about 900 British-ordered M3 Lees/Grants were shipped to the Indian Army. Some of these saw action against Japanese troops and tanks in the Burma Campaign of WWII.
They were used by the British Fourteenth Army until the fall of Rangoon, regarded as performing admirably in its original intended role of supporting infantry in Burma between 1944 to 1945.
In the Burma Campaign, the M3 medium tank's main task was infantry support. It played a pivotal role during the Battle of Imphal, during which the Imperial Japanese Army's 14th Tank Regiment (primarily equipped with their own Type 95 Ha-Go light tanks, together with a handful of captured British M3 Stuart light tanks as well) encountered M3 medium tanks for the first time and found their light tanks outgunned and outmatched by the better British armour. Despite their worse-than-average off-road performance, the British M3 tanks performed well as they traversed the steep hillsides around Imphal and defeated the assaulting Japanese forces. Officially declared obsolete in April 1944, nevertheless, the Lee/Grant saw action until the end of the war in September 1945.
