520    Having driven the British and Indian Forces out of Burma 
       in 1942, General Mutaguchi, Commanding the 15th Japanese 
       Army, was obsessed by the conquest of India.  In 1944 the 
       British 14th Army, under its commander General Slim, drew 
       back to the Imphal Plain, before Mutaguchi’s 
       impending offensive.  To the north, however, the entire 
       Japanese 31 Division had crossed the Chindwin and, on 
       April 5, arrived at the hill-station and road junction of 
       Kohima, cutting off Imphal except by air, from the supply 
       point at Dimpapur.Kohima was initially manned by only 266 
       men of the Assam Regiment and a few hundred convalescents 
       and administrative troops.  They were joined, on April 5, 
       by 440 men of the Fourth Battalion of the Royal West Kent 
       Regiment, straight from the Battle of Arakan.In pouring 
       rain, under continual bombardment, this tiny garrison held
       the assaults of thirteen thousand Japanese troops in hand-
       to-hand combat for sixteen days, an action described by 
       Mountbatten as ‘probably one of the greatest battles
       in history ... in effect the Battle of Burma, naked, 
       unparalleled heroism, the British/Indian Thermopylae&
