10th Indian Division

The 10th Indian Division, officially designated as a formation of the Indian Army, was a significant military unit formed in the early 20th century. Established during World War II, it played a pivotal role in various campaigns, particularly in the Southeast Asian theater. The division was primarily composed of British and Indian troops and was known for its contributions to the liberation of territory occupied by Japanese forces. Notably, it participated in the battles of Kohima and Imphal, showcasing exemplary bravery and tactical prowess. Post-independence, the division underwent various reorganizations, reflecting the evolving strategic needs of the Indian Armed Forces. The 10th Indian Division's legacy continues to influence contemporary military strategies within India.
