The headquarters of the British 14th Army moved from Comilla in present-day Bangladesh to Imphal for a few months towards the end of 1944 to oversee the unfolding operations in Burma. The colonial-era cottage in which General Slim stayed at the time, and which has since been named ‘Slim Cottage’, can still be seen in the Kangla Fort Complex today.
