The Kohima Museum commemorates the Burma Campaign of World War 2. It aims to foster remembrance & respect for all who were involved.
This website describes five battles that took place in 1944 when the Imperial Japanese Army invaded India. It also describes some of the personalities involved, the aircraft, tanks & the Naga people, who got caught up in the war. One of the battles was fought at Kohima & involved the 2nd British Infantry Division, who had been based in York. Veterans returned to York after the war & brought many artefacts from the Battle of Kohima. This unique collection of objects is now displayed in the Kohima Museum.
This website contains images & descriptions of violence & death.
