256621 Spr Abdul Ghani British Indian Army 2nd Field Company King George V's Own Bengal Sappers and Miners from:Kala Bakra Jalandhar. India (d.09 April.1944) Abdul Ghani was my real uncle. At the age of 20 he died thousands of miles away from home. He died in the Kohima War in Nagaland, at the border of Burma,fighting against Japanese in the famous Tennis Court Battle.
He was unmarried,6 feet tall and a handsome person. In 1947 our family migrated to Pakistan. In the chaos of migration we lost his only memory,his photograph. We knew nothing about him, where he died, and how,and where buried. The British have gone back to their country, and in between,India, with no cordial relation. It was just accidently, during the surfing of war cemetries website,we got the where about of the grave.
