The Japanese advance through Thailand, Malaya and Burma appeared unstoppable and the fate of India looked utterly precarious.
The garrison of the Kohima outpost numbering some 1500 British and Indian Army soldiers faced over 13,000 fanatical and previously victorious Japanese troops. The following sixteen days marked the turning point of the war in the Far East thanks to men like Raymond Street who fought with legendary courage and tireless persistence.
Raymond was a member of the 4th Battalion The Queen’s West Kent and as a company runner he was uniquely placed to witness the dreadful and dramatic events as they unfolded. Not only did he miraculously survive but he made a superb record of the battle as fortunes ebbed and flowed.
His memories have been transcribed into this firsthand account of one of the most decisive and hardest fought battles of the Second World War. We Fought at Kohima will surely be judged as a fighting man’s memoir of the highest quality to rank alongside such legendary works as Men at Arnhem and Quartered Safe Out Here
