This stands as a solemn tribute to the valiant soldiers of the Allied Forces, primarily from the 2nd British Division, who lost their lives during one of the fiercest battles of World War II. This historic site marks the location of the pivotal Battle of Kohima, fought in April 1944 against the advancing Japanese army during their attempted invasion of India. The cemetery is uniquely situated on Garrison Hill, within the former tennis court area of the British Deputy Commissioner’s residence—an area that witnessed some of the most intense combat. It was here that British and Indian troops engaged in brutal, close-quarter fighting, halting the Japanese offensive and turning the tide of the war in the Eastern theatre. Today, the cemetery is maintained with great care by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, and serves as the final resting place for over 1,400 Allied soldiers. Rows of simple, dignified headstones stretch across the green slopes, each engraved with the name, regiment, and age of a fallen soldier, along with poignant epitaphs from loved ones. Set against the backdrop of lush hills, the site offers a peaceful and reflective atmosphere, with panoramic views of the surrounding city. Visitors to the cemetery often pause at the renowned inscription near the entrance, which reads: "When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say, For Your Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today." This powerful memorial not only honours the sacrifice of those who fought but also serves as a stark reminder of the cost of war and the enduring legacy of courage and resilience.
