[A little more info around: R.I.P. #102 Doreen Hawkins...]
As mentioned, this lady wrote a book on her wartime experiences with ENSA: "Drury Lane to Dimapur"
Thanks to one of our pillars of civilisation, the public library, I got hold of a copy.
It appears her journeys went a little further North and East than Dimapur, and took her to the site of the above mentioned battle:The Battle of Kohima, part of the Burma Campaign, and a battle that cost the lives of many of a small cohort of the Royal West Kents, and the posthumous award of one VC, and the Legend:
"WHEN YOU GO HOME,
TELL THEM OF US AND SAY,
FOR YOUR TOMORROW,
WE GAVE OUR TODAY."
The place to go for further information is the Maidstone Museum. In the meantime...
