The Kohima Educational Trust is delighted to present this webinar with Dr Robert Lyman and guest speaker Steve White who is the Chairman of the KET.
Charles Pawsey’s decision on 3rd April 1944 to stay at Kohima Ridge may well have tipped the balance against the Japanese. If he had left, support from local Nagas would have melted away. As it was, Nagas made heroic contributions.
Steve White will look at how he came to stay at his post, his background, what he did in India before the war as an officer of the Indian Civcil Service, and his life after the war. He was a quite remarkable man.
