The Battles of Kohima and Imphal were recently voted the 'Greatest ever battles involving the British.' A fitting prelude to a British soldier who died here reads: "When you go home, tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow, we gave our today."
This epitaph is one of the most profound epitaphs to have come out of the Second World War and is a fitting prelude to those who gave up their life for a noble cause, so far away from home. This popular inscription evokes many nostalgic thoughts about life and its brevity. This epitaph is credited to John Maxwell Edmonds, an English Classicist who is also known to have written a few more epitaphs for the First World War in 1916. This inscription has now become one of the most popular inscriptions all around the world.
The Kohima War Cemetery was built in remembrance of the British and Indian soldiers who gave up their lives during the Second World War against the Japanese. Also known as the 'Battle of Kohima', this battle was fought from 4th April to 22 June 1944. This is considered to be one of the fiercest battles fought in the east and in Nagaland too and is also known as the 'Stalingrad of The East'.
Today the War Cemetery in Kohima is still maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. The cemetery now sits on the Garrison Hill, one of the key battlegrounds. The cemetery is home to as many as 1,420 graves.
