INDIA-BRITAIN-JAPAN-WWII-HISTORY
This photograph taken on November 16, 2015, shows the headstone of Victoria Cross recipient John Harman at The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) Cemetery in Kohima, Nagaland. - The Battle of Kohima proved the turning point of the Japanese U-Go offensive into India in 1944 during the Second World War. The battle took place in three stages from 4 April to 22 June 1944 around the town of Kohima, now the capital city of Nagaland in Northeast India. Some of the heaviest fighting took place at the north end of Kohima Ridge, around the Deputy Commissioner's bungalow and tennis court, in what became known as the 'Battle of the Tennis Court'. The tennis court became a no man's land, with the Japanese and the defenders of Kohima dug in on opposite sides, so close to each other that grenades were thrown between the trenches.
