Picture of the Month
Over the last year I have been digitizing my collection of slides and prints from my travels over the last thirty years. Each month I’ll be picking some of the best to showcase on this site.
March/April 2019
The Deputy Commissioners Tennis Court - India
This picture was taken in November 2012 in Kohima, Nagaland, India.
On a hillside in North East India, laid out in concrete strips, is the outline of a tennis court; which is on the site of what was the tennis court of the British Deputy Commissioner, whose house stood on the hill above. The tennis court is a memorial to the men who are buried around it, as the hill side is now a Commonwealth War Cemetery; because in April 1944, the hills and indeed the tennis court were a battlefield.

As this April is the seventy fifth anniversary of the Battle of Kohima, I'm leaving this picture up throughout the month.
