The Paviors were honoured to be included in the dinner to mark the 65th anniversary of the Battle of Kohima given by the Corporals’ Mess of 3rd Battalion Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment at Farnham. The battle was the turning point in the Burma campaign in 1944 when the heroic defenders stopped the Japanese invasion of the country with heavy loss of life. Among the casualties was Lance Corporal Harman of one of the predecessor regiments of the PWRR, the Royal West Kents. For his gallantry he was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross and his valour was commemorated during the evening by corporals of the current regiment reading dispatches reporting the progress of the battle until final victory.
During the evening, which was also attended by the Masters of the other affiliated livery companies, a presentation of an engraved goblet was made by John May on behalf of the Paviors to the Kohima Corporal as the Livery’s soldier of the year. The continuing courage of the men and women of the battalion was demonstrated by the numbers of those present who had served tours of duty in Afghanistan and Iraq with their regular colleagues.
