Flowers at the Kohima War Cemetery
The Kohima War Cemetery is built on the slopes of Garrison Hill where the final battle was fought till reinforcements arrived. It is a large cemetery carefully maintained under the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Don't miss out the famous epitaph by John Maxwell Edmonds (1875--1958) which reads "When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say,For Their Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today".
Kohima is the land of the Angami Naga tribe. The name, Kohima, was officially given by the British as they could not pronounce the Angami name Kewhima or Kewhira (Tenyidie for "the land where the flower Kewhi grows"). It is so called after the wild flowering plant Kewhi, found in the mountains. Earlier, Kohima was also known as Thigoma. Kohima is located south of Kohima District and has an average elevation of 1261 metres (4137 feet).The town of Kohima is located on the top of a high ridge and the town serpentines all along the top of the surrounding mountain ranges as is typical of most Naga settlements.
