The Kohima Educational Trust is delighted to welcome back guest speaker Steve Snelling for his third KET webinar, in conversation with Dr Robert Lyman.
This is the story of the 2nd Royal Norfolk Regiment at the Battle of Kohima, with a focus on the somewhat erratic, eccentric and exceedingly heroic colonel - Robert Scott who, as guest speaker Steve Snelling has just recently been able to confirm from his research, was actually recommended for a Victoria Cross for his outstanding leadership at Kohima.
'Start blasting them and advance!' This was Scott's roaring exaltation to his men as the battalion's assault on GPT seemed in danger of faltering on May 4, 1944.
