About

In April 1942 the 2nd Battalion of the Durham Light Infantry were sent from the UK to ‘Destination X’. Little did they know that their service in South-East Asia would later see them involved in one of the most severe and brutal conflicts of the Second World War.

The story of the Battle of Kohima and its legacy, highlights how our local regiment connects County Durham with a far bigger story, spanning continents, decades, and generations.
