Second World War 1939-1945, cemetery, historic landmark, war memorial
This war cemetery is dedicated to the 10,000 Allied soldiers who lost their lives during the Japanese invasion during the World War-II. The Battle of Kohima had lasted for nearly three months between April 4th and June 22nd 1944, and these brave hearts fighting for the Allied forces had admirably blocked the Japanese invasion right at the border of India.
The site used to be the Tennis Court of the Deputy Commissioner and one of the fiercest battles was fought here (Battle of the Tennis Court) before Kohima was captured from the Japanese.
Maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, the cemetery is beautifully laid out with lush green carpet grass and seasonal roses. Located at the slopes of the Garrison Hill, the cemetery is embellished by stone markers with shining bronze plaques, each one commemorating the names of men who sacrificed their lives.
Carved on the memorial of the 2nd British Division is the renowned Epitaph, " When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say, For Their Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today".
