Although the garrison was relieved on 20th April, the fighting carried on until 6th June. Both Kohima and the nearby town of Imphal were strategic objectives for the Japanese as part of Operation U-Go and the invasion of India. Losing both proved a disaster for the Japanese forces and a turning point in the Burma campaign for the allies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n            <li>\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-9ske247-3\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-9ske247-3-content\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                                                            Other                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-9ske247-3-content\" data-id=\"acc-9ske247-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_hez9247\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column tb_7j5q247 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_ko31247   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p><strong>Other: <\/strong>In 1939 Earnest was working as junior clerk in an Accountants.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Grave Inscription: GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n            <li>\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-9ske247-4\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-9ske247-4-content\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                                                            Sources                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-9ske247-4-content\" data-id=\"acc-9ske247-4\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_7ain247\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column tb_yhbi247 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_6um9247   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p><strong>Sources:\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, 'sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;\">*CGS Record of Service in HM Forces (Archives Carlisle)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, 'sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;\">Census Returns<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, 'sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;\">CWGC<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n\n<\/div><!-- \/module accordion -->        <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Information Name:\u00a0Ernest Barker Ivison DoB: 4th March 1922 Regt:\u00a0Gunner 1133245, 1 Medium Regt., Royal Artillery DoD:\u00a025\/05\/1944 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 22 Buried: KOHIMA WAR CEMETERY Academic Career:\u00a0 Other:\u00a0 Biographical Information Family Background Family Background:\u00a0Son of Thomas Barker Ivison and Frances (nee Bell) Ivison. of Carlisle.
