The Kohima Educational Trust is delighted to welcome back our trustee Charlotte Carty as guest speaker for this webinar about the Kohima Memorials.
During this period of Remembrance, and in this 80th anniversary year of the Battle of Kohima, it is perhaps a good time to take a closer look at the many memorials which stand on the battlefield to commemorate the Fallen.
A number of different Allied units fought in what was then a small village in the remote mountains of Nagaland. It is a testament to the intensity of the 3 months of bitter fighting that many felt compelled to place a memorial to their men who were not able to come home.
From the iconic Memorial to the 2nd Division standing at the foot of Garrison Hill, to the small, wooden plaque dedicated to those of the Reconnaissance Corps, each memorial pays witness to the losses suffered in this corner of NE India.
The webinar will take place on the 80th anniversary of the unveiling of the 2nd Division Memorial by Field Marshal Slim.
Many of the memorials still stand in the city today, a reminder to all that:
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
