In 1815, Major Percy, hotfoot and muddy from #Waterloo, and carrying two captured French eagles, burst into this room in what is now the East India Club in #London to inform the Prince Regent that #Wellington had won a great victory. @societyarmy @CultExp

Leading our @CultExp ‘#Walking #Waterloo ’ autumn tour - pausing for a rest at sleepy Smohain - hard to believe this peaceful scene was one of viscous fighting 209 years ago. @societyarmy #history

Bill Slim, but you’d expect me to say that, wouldn’t you?
We ask our authors - and you.

Part 3: Religion is an important part of village life. The Baptist Church is prominent, as well as many monuments to church events. At Sangshak, masons are working on more! Wood was the traditional building material before ‘wriggly tin’. Trucks survive beyond their intended life!

Part 2: More village life, demonstrating the importance of water (with some wisdom) to people who live on hilltops, a father playing ‘Kang’ with some [short] boys and typical flower pots with a cat sunning itself 🐈

Life in a Naga Village Part 1: long terraced fields in hilly terrain, large firewood stockpiles, recovered WW2 ‘wriggly tin’ and straitened 44-gallon drums for housing construction, shy but curious children looking on…

‘Tanks can’t fight in our region’
In #1944 near-obsolete M3 Grant tanks fought up the spurline on the left, all the way across the ridge to the right, defeating the enemy and saving infantry lives. 🇮🇳

In the village of Khonoma investigating the story of the 1879 British punitive expedition to #Nagaland. Great story telling, plus a monument to four of the British dead, including the District Commissioner, at the highest point in the village. @robert_lyman opening many doors! – at Kohima, India

A few images from #Khomona which fell within the operational area of Major General Grover’s 2nd Division during the Battle of #Kohema - a typical Naga hilltop village. Grover was dismissed after the battle, a decision which the men under his command profoundly disagreed with.
