A service to commemorate The Battle of Kohima has taken place in York Minster. Veterans from one of the most vital and hard-fought battles of the Second World War gathered to remember their fallen colleagues and to lay wreaths. In this conflict, British and Indian Forces stopped the Japanese from invading India. Nearly 4000 soldiers from Britain and India lost their lives between April and June 1944 around the town of Kohima in North East India.
