		The Japanese were then to turn their attention on the garrison of Kohima itself and, after taking the town, were to move north to cut the main railway.

		The battle was murderous and the supply line was in the air, and by parachute.

	Battle Honours
		A battle honour is an official acknowledgement rewarded to military units for their achievements in specific wars or operations of a military campaign.
		Battle honours are usually presented in the form of a name of a country, a region or a city where the regiment's distinguished act took place together with the year when it occurred.
		Although the granting of battle honours had already been in place at the time (for example Gibraltar, Dettingen, Plassey, Minden etc), it was not until 1784 that Infantry units were authorized to bear battle honours on their colours.

	Kohima - Battle and Veterans - David Horsfield memoirs
		Kohima, on the borders of India in a corner of Assam, gives its name to a great and decisive battle fought and won against the Japanese in 1944.
		The 2nd Division provided the British contribution to the battle and this was the link for me between the early and the later part of this tale.
		Several of the participants are very lame but they fight their way round with the same determination that they showed in the battle itself, paying honour to their comrades who did not survive the battle and the many other comrades who have died since.
