11th Infantry Division (India)

The 11th Infantry Division was an infantry division of the Indian Army raised during World War II. It was formed in India in 1941 and fought primarily in the Burma Campaign.

The division was initially formed to defend India's eastern border against a potential Japanese invasion. It was composed primarily of Indian and British troops, organized into infantry brigades and supporting arms. The division played a significant role in the defense of Imphal and Kohima in 1944, holding key positions against repeated Japanese attacks. These battles were crucial in halting the Japanese advance into India.

After the battles of Imphal and Kohima, the 11th Infantry Division participated in the Allied advance further into Burma. It was involved in numerous engagements with Japanese forces, contributing to the eventual Allied victory in the region.

Following the end of World War II, the 11th Infantry Division remained part of the Indian Army and continued to serve in various capacities. The division's history and contributions to the Burma Campaign are recognized in military historical accounts. Specific details about its later deployments and present status may be found in official Indian Army records.
