He thu hi chu ka va han duh takkkk. War Memorial hran hranah pawh he epitaph (few differences like interchanging “your tomorrow” with “their tomorrow”) hi a awma, chungah pawh chuan “Original source: Kohima War Memorial” a in ti vek mawle!

Kohima Epitaph
The Memorial itself consists of a large monolith of Naga stone such as is used to mark the graves of dead Nagas. The stone is set upright on a dressed stone pedestal, the overall height being 15 feet. A small cross is carved at the top of the monolith and below this a bronze panel is inset. The panel bears the inscription
“When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say,
For Their Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today”
The words are attributed to John Maxwell Edmonds (1875 -1958), an English Classicist, who had put them together among a collection of 12 epitaphs for World War One, in 1916. According to the Burma Star Association the words were used for the Kohima Memorial as a suggestion by Major John Etty-Leal, the GSO II of the 2nd Division, another classical scholar.
The verse is thought to have been inspired by the Greek lyric poet Simonides of Ceos (556-468 BC) who wrote after the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC:
“Go tell the Spartans, thou that passest by,
That faithful to their precepts here we lie.”
———-
Spartans lam sawi tak chuan, an lo bawn a ni. Spartans nu ho chuan an fapa te indo tura an kal dawn chuan ti hian an hrilh thin, “Come back with your shield, or on it”. Meaning – Either come back alive with your shield, or let the other warriors come back carrying your dead body on your shield (only those who fought and died bravely were given this honor of being carried on their shields). Ka ngaisang tawps
Alfred Tennyson a poem “Home they brought her warrior dead” te pawh ka hre chhuak e ah.

‘Forward, the Light Brigade!’
Was there a man dismay’d?
Not tho’ the soldiers knew
Some one had blunder’d:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.’

Rudyard Kipling-a pawhin Kumpinu-in Mizo leh Naga a hneh dan a lo phuah tel ve bawk —
They sends us along where the roads are, but mostly we goes where they ain’t:
We’d climb up the side of a sign-board an’ trust to the stick o’ the paint:
We’ve chivied the Naga an’ Looshai, we’ve give the Afreedeeman fits,
For we fancies ourselves at two thousand,
we guns that are built in two bits — ‘Tss! ‘Tss!
For you all love the screw-guns . . .
