Kohima, the State Capital of Nagaland is situated at an altitude of 1,444.12 metres above sea level. The Kohima War Cemetery was constructed in the memory of the Officers and Men who made supreme sacrifices during World War II. On each grave there are beautiful epitaphs engraved in bronze. The famous inscription written on the War Memorial stone reads : "when you go home, tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow we have our today".
