Kohima War Cemetery: Home To The Most Popular Epitaph

The War Cemetery in Kohima was built in the year April 1944 to mark the death of the soldiers who lost there in the Second World War at Kohima. In the memory of those soldiers of the allied force of 2nd British Division, this war cemetery was built. In the tennis court area of deputy commissioners’ residence, these soldiers breathed their last on the Garrison hill battleground. According to the report of CWGC who maintains the cemetery of the world, reported 1420 Commonwealth burial of those who died in the Second World War. The other 917 Hindu and Sikhs bodies were cremated as per their social rights. The commander of the 14th army (Burma) Field Marshal Sir William Slim had inaugurated the memorial.

To prevent the Burma attack, the Japanese army attacked the British army who were then stationed at North East India in March 1944. Later in April, the Japanese army after occupying the Garrison hill attacked the Commonwealth forces. The British National Army Museum in 2013 declared the battle of Imphal and Kohima as ‘Britain’s greatest battle’.
