The Battle of Impal and Kohima
Just over 80 years ago, in March 1944 the Imperial Japanese Army launched operation U-Go across the border into north-east India,. Their aim was to capture two major strongpoints, Impal and Kohima.
Fought between 8 March and 18 July 1944, in North East India, these battles produced a resounding defeat for the Japanese forces. They were the turning point of one of the most gruelling campaigns of the Second World.
