The Battle of Kohima, a pivotal confrontation during the Second World War, saw six officers and 79 soldiers from the Royal Norfolks lose their lives.
It is seen as the turning point of the Japanese offensive in India, fought across three stages between April 4 and June 22, 1944.
Around 4,000 troops from the British and Indian forces died and around 5,700 Japanese men died, in one of the bloodiest conflicts of the war.
The Battle of Almanza, on April 27, 1707, was also remembered. The Easter Monday battle was during the War of the Spanish Succession and saw the Royal Norfolk Regiment suffer heavy casualties.
The Kohima Epitaph is engraved on the Memorial of the 2nd British Division in the cemetery of Kohima in North-East India, bearing the words: "When you go home tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow we gave our today."
Representatives from the Kohima Education Trust were present and the sacrifices made were remembered on April 28.
