A journey through history

Imphal is known for its picturesque landscapes and rich heritage; one such site serves as an important reminder of those who sacrificed so much during World War II - Imphal War Cemetery. Maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, this cemetery is the resting ground for 1600 Commonwealth graves - an honourable burial to those who participated in the Battle of Kohima and Imphal.

A sobering reminder of the price of war

Imphal War Cemetery stands as a sobering reminder of the cost of war, providing a final resting place for courageous soldiers who fought and died during World War II. Graves belonging to those of Muslim faith from various civil cemeteries around Imphal were moved here, serving as a solemn reminder of its impact on humanity. Among its heroes buried are soldiers from India's Army of Undivided India.

Honouring religious beliefs

At the southern end of the cemetery is an impressive structure dedicated to religious harmony: the Imphal Cremation Memorial, with 828 Commonwealth burials from World War 2, stands as a poignant testament to fallen soldiers and airmen from Hindu and Sikh faiths who made the ultimate sacrifice during Imphal's fierce battles, their remains cremated according to their beliefs.
