- Kohima Epitaph, attributed to to John Maxwell Edmonds.
The above lines originate from J. Maxwell Edmonds’ Inscriptions suggested for war memorials published in the 1920s. Edmonds was a classical scholar and may have had at the back of his mind the epitaph upon the Spartans at Thermopylae, composed by the contemporary poet Simonides:

That faithful to their precepts here we lie."
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them."
- "For the Fallen"
