News updateIn the newsOn 15 August 2015, thousands marked the 70th Anniversary of VJ Day, with hundreds of veterans gathering in Horse Guards Parade, alongside the Prince of Wales and the Prime Minister. Meanwhile, back in the studio, KET Chairman Robert Lyman supported the BBC coverage by providing expert commentary for Kirsty Young.

Rob will also be appearing in an upcoming documentary, likely to screen on Channel 4 in early 2016. It contains footage from Calling Blighty, a series of short films featur-ing servicemen and women stationed in Burma and India, 1944–46. The documentary maker hopes to find some of these veterans, or their friends and families. Please search www.nwfa.mmu.ac.uk/blighty/index.php for any Burma Campaign vet-erans you know, and email blighty@mmu.ac.uk or phone Marion Hewitt on 0161 247 3097 with details.

New trusteeColonel (Retd) Jonathan Frere MBE MA has joined the Board of Trustees as Treasurer. Jonathan served with the Royal Artillery and the Royal Logistic Corps after a wide range of appointments. He has since retired from the Army and is now the Chair of Governors of a secondary school.

Fundraising and talksThis June, Monty Lyman and Josh Scott undertook an epic six-day fundraiser for KET, rowing the Thames from source to sea. Two-hundred miles of ‘raging headwinds, swans and stag-dos’ did not deter them, and they raised an impressive £1200, exceeding their target by 140%. Josh has volunteered to blister for the cause again, and will be running for KET in the April 2016 London Marathon. We’ll be following his progress and providing a link to his sponsorship page on the KET website shortly.

KET would also like to thank Andrew Gray and Steve Murphy, cadets who undertook a 32-mile canal trek from Falkirk Wheel to Edinburgh this August, raising over £250 in donations.

KET Trustees have been invited to give sev-eral talks this year to Rotary Clubs, notably Ewell and Stafford. Greshams School in Holt invited old boy Richard Barclay to give a talk, as well as showing the KET docu-mentary to around 150 students and ca-dets. All these events generated funds for the Trust and special thanks go in par-ticular to Michael Shone of Ewell Rotary

and Paddy O’Leary of Stafford Rotary, both of whom have been tireless in

raising money for KET. We are very sad to report that Paddy passed

away just as we were going to press, and our thoughts are

with his wife Brenda and their family.

Gifts and cardsKET has expanded its online shop, and is now stocking KET-branded items, as well as a 2016 calendar. It continues to sell Naga crafts, with all profits going to the education of Naga children.

Christmas cards, handmade in Naga homes, are available again this year. The cards come in packs of ten at £4.99 per pack, plus £1.20 p&p. Please order from the Chief Executive (see address below right).

The Isle of Man Post Office has produced a limited edition Special Cover, postmarked on the 70th Anniversary of VJ Day, which pays tribute to the fallen soldiers of the Battle of Kohima and recognises the work of KET. Five hundred have been produced; if you purchase your copies directly from KET, the Trust will benefit from the sale. They cost £22.50 each and are individually signed and numbered. Please order directly from our online store or send a cheque with your order to The Chief Executive, (see address below right).

A beautifully produced, one-page limited edition of the poem ‘Kohima 1954’ by Gordon Graham is also available from the KET online store or by sending a cheque to The Chief Executive (£30 framed; £10 unframed).

Fundraising concertKES, our sister organisation in Kohima, organised a fundraising concert which was held on 11 November. This was the brainchild of KET Trustee, Lily Das, with top Nagaland musicians performing free of charge. Ticket sales and subsequent donations resulted in £5,000 being raised, which will go towards educating Naga children. A DVD of the event will be available to purchase from our on-line store.

It is with great sadness that we report that Gordon Graham, our President and founding father, died on 24 April this year, aged 94. Up until two weeks before his death, Gordon remained hard at work. He was never happier than when coming up with the next big idea for the Kohima Educational Trust to progress. As one obituary stated, he was ‘a man of exceptional initiative in peace and war’.

Without Gordon, the KET would not exist. It would certainly not still be thriving ten years after its formation, and would not have raised over half a million pounds and achieved the work in Nagaland that it has. Gordon was a man of vision, amongst many other attributes, and none more so than in his conception of KET. The idea had lain dormant in his mind for many years until he was invited to be part of the committee to plan the 60th Anniversary of the Battle of Kohima and urged members to commemorate the battle in a more permanent way.

Shortly after the outbreak of the Second World War, Gordon joined the 1st Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders, and in 1942, along with thousands of others, was sent to Bombay. His war really started in April 1944, when the Japanese invaded India. Gordon was part of the 2nd Division, which was rushed to Kohima to aid the stricken garrison. The battle lasted for three months, in dense jungle, much of it in hand-to-hand combat. This was where Gordon was awarded the first of his two Military Crosses.

He went back to Kohima in 1954, a journey he described in an article subsequently published in The Times of London, entitled ‘The Trees are All Young on Garrison Hill’. Latterly, Gordon revisited this article and condensed it into four verses, which he felt epitomised the past, the present and the future: war, memory and gratitude. Gordon always maintained that without the help of the Nagas, the British and Commonwealth soldiers could not have

won that battle, and would certainly not have survived in the numbers they did. For sixty years, Gordon thought about how to repay this debt of honour. When he approached a Naga friend with this idea, the immediate response was ‘you have not forgotten us’. Together with fellow veterans, they made it happen.

To regular readers of this Newsletter, this story will not be new, but it remains an important part of the history of KET, and it should serve as a reminder to us all that anything is possible with determination and the ability to encourage those around you to be similarly enthused.

In Gordon’s words, ‘memory is a great gift which we all share and which too often we take for granted. Like dreams, memories come unbidden. Unlike dreams, they are calls to action. In addition to their basic message about the continuity of life and their evocations of nostalgia or regret, they pose the question: How can we use the past to benefit the future?’

Kohima Memorial Service in YorkKET will once more be organising this memorable annual event.Next year’s service will take place on Thursday 7 July 2016.

‘I will use the scholarship to pay my tuition fees,’ said Lamthaiu K, aged 14. ‘I was in need and you helped. Although my father has a job, it is not sufficient as there are seven family members. Thank you so much.’

Lamthaiu was one of 77 scholars aged 14 to 16 who received part of their three-year KET scholarship in March of this year. This programme has always been at the heart of KET’s activities in Nagaland. It is run in conjunction with KES who works with schools and churches to select candidates on the grounds of ability and need. It is now over 10 years old, and nearly 500 scholarships have been awarded.

Some students and family members had travelled for over 24 hours to attend this year’s ceremony, held in Kohima in March. It was also attended by a party of soldiers from 2 Signal Regiment, and many of them commented on the fact that while here in the UK we take access to education for granted, it is not always the case for the children of Nagaland, despite the high regard in which it is held.

It is through the generosity of hundreds of British donors that these scholarships have been made possible, with some dedicated to those who fought in the battle. Increasingly, some donors have expressed a desire to continue the scholarships past the age of 16, to allow those of particular promise to further their education.

KET is therefore delighted to announce that, from this year, the programme will be extended. Additional scholarships will be awarded each year to promising scholars who have shown the most talent, as well as to those who are in greatest need. Scholars will be selected by the board of KES, once they have reviewed the Year 10 reports. These Year 11 and 12 scholarships will be awarded in October/November each year.

With this in mind, the KES held the first part of this year‘s Scholars Convergence in Kohima on 22 October. All scholars who had successfully completed the final year of their scholarship in Year 10 were invited to attend, and there was a good turn-out from all over Nagaland.

They were welcomed by KES Chairman Dr Ngully, who heartily congratulated them on their success. He also announced the extension of the scholarship programme, explaining that the scholars being awarded a further two years of funding would be selected shortly, once all their reports had been submitted. As this will be decided after we go to print, we look forward to posting the results on our website as soon as they are known.

For many of those receiving KET scholarships such an opportunity is already on their mind. As Vitaka Achumi said when receiving his initial award, ‘I would like to be someone that succeeds in every field. I came to know of this scholarship from a newspaper and I would like to thank those who gave this to me.’

If you would like to know more about our scholarship programme, or if you wish to consider donating a scholarship, please see the pamphlet accompanying this Newsletter, log on to the KET website, or contact us at KET (see details on back page).

KET Scholarship Programme to be extendedUnique Nagaland glossary launched at principals’ meeting

THE PUBLICATION of Key Words, a unique glossary of Naga and English terms, has been a labour of

love involving collaboration over more than five years between Nagaland experts and other specialists around the globe. On 2 October 2015, it was launched in Kohima in front of an eminent audience, including the Governor of Nagaland, P.B. Acharya, and school principals.

Charles Chasie, Kohima Educational Society (KES) President and one of the key figures behind the publication, spoke at the occasion, offering insights into the inspiration, creation and scope of this landmark project.

‘The idea for Key Words arose during correspondence with Gordon Graham, founder of the KET. He was surprised to learn that our tribes communicated through English and Nagamese, rather than through Naga languages. When I suggested that learning and communicating through this way would be ideal, as real understanding and appreciation of one another is often missing in inter-tribe relations, he set the process in motion.

‘As a former CEO of some top publishing houses, Gordon knew all the important people in the publishing world. He quickly got in touch with Charles Levine in New York, an expert lexicographer, who kindly gave his services for free.

‘The idea was to select the most common words and phrases that people use in everyday communication, and Charles was able to bring his specialist knowledge to this difficult task. Although the list consists of over 2,900 words and phrases, it is a selection of key terms (hence the title), and a glossary, rather than a dictionary in the strict sense of the term.

‘Once the initial words and phrases were selected, they were sent to Kohima for consultation with language experts in the Department of Linguistics, Nagaland University, with Professor D. Kuolie kindly taking on the responsibility. The second step, translating the words into 16 Nagaland languages, was the natural follow on, and the Government official language translators at the Department of Information and Public Relations were ideally placed to do so, with contributions from the language officers at the Department of School Education.

‘The objectives of this glossary are twofold. The primary ob-jective is for Nagas to learn one another’s languages and to start communicating in them, to foster a feeling of oneness and belonging.

‘The second objective is a hope that such work will assist researchers and others, but most of all that it may help to protect our tribe languages which are all on the vulnerable or endangered list of languages.’

Governor P.B. Acharya congratulated the contributors and KET/KES for bringing out the glossary. Commenting on the fact that language is the basis of a society’s identity, he said that children must be given the opportunity to learn and express themselves in their mother tongue, in order to fully understand the ideas of their own culture.

Unlike the rest of the country, where states are formed on the basis of language, Acharya noted that in Nagaland every tribe has its own distinct language and commented that the glossary will help to strengthen the Naga collective identity. He also mentioned that a number of Indian universities will shortly begin to teach tribal dialects for the first time, and that the glossary would prove invaluable in this respect.

KET is particularly grateful to the English Speaking Union and to John and Irmgard Churchill for their generous donations, which enabled this project to go ahead.

School principals meetKET and KES were delighted to launch the glossary at a meeting of principals from schools in Kohima, the first time representatives from our organisations had attended this annual event.

The session was chaired by Pheluopfelie Kesiezie, a founder member of the KES. Patricia Zhimomi, a teacher from Dima-pur, shared insights from her recently completed MA, Teach-ing English to Young Learners, which she undertook at York University, UK, with funding support from KET.

In his closing remarks, the Chairman urged the gathering to broaden the current focus of education from academic subjects only, to encourage creativity and to promote critical thinking. Another meeting is planned for the start of the next academic session.
