Mapping Britain's battles in Manipur
Morung Express | NDTV | Imphal, May 26
For amateur war researcher Rajeshwar Yumnam and his team, the bad weather and threats from extremists are hardly a deterrent, and they relentlessly dig around a hilltop in Manipur's Sadar Hills district, which served as a Japanese army post during World War II. A defeat here at the hands of the British troops had forced the Japanese to eventually surrender in a theatre.
So far Yumnam's team has dug-out significant war-items, including Japanese grenades and empty magazines, nuts and crews of tanks and 30 rounds of Rifle bullets of British origin. Helping Yumnam carry out his mission, are war diaries, war citations, war veterans, maps and backing from the Burma Campaign Society in London of which he is the only Indian member.
