An honour to be at the National Army Museum on Sat for the #Kohima weekend. Yes - that queue really was people picking up copies of #TheJungleWar for the young people in their lives... often because the book tells the story of a grandfather, great-grandfather, etc

Get yours! Link in bio.

Someone made an interesting point that I often consider.
We see vast content on 80th anniversaries of Anzio & of course upcoming Normandy landings. But #Kohima80 passes by under the radar.

Hats off to all involved this weekend for keeping the flame alive.

The words are engraved on the Memorial of the 2nd British Division in the cemetery of Kohima: ‘When You Go Home, Tell Them of Us and Say, For Your Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today.’

80 years ago, in April 1944, the 2nd Battalion, Royal Norfolk Regiment, played an important part in the Battle of Kohima, a turning point of one of the most gruelling campaigns of the Second World War.

A superb couple of talks with Robert Lyman 🇺🇦 today at National Army Museum. I thought the Fergal Keane recording was brilliantly delivered & worked in really well with Michael there.

It was a pleasure to finally meet you and the The Kohima Educational Trust family in person at long last.
