Kohima town has gone through dark days during the Second Word War (1937-1945) when the allied forces fought a bloody but victorious battle agains the Japanese in Kohima. The battle field where this took place is in the heart of the city. A war cemetery has been built in this place.
I visited this War Cemetry today. It is basically a park with various levels. On each level neatly placed plaques bearing the names of the British and India Soldiers who died in WWII are embedded. Each plaque has name, battalion and rank.
At the top most level is a huge cross standing tall and serving as a memoriam to those who died and a reminder that peace is the ultimate solution.
