After the [[Capture of Wandiwash]] Eyre Coote proceeded to Carangoly on 4 December. Batteries were constructed and by 10 December the fort capitulated with honour. Following this Coote returned to Wandiwash and, on hearing de Bussy was concentrating forces at Arcot, he marched towards that city. Bad weather and lack of supplies compelled him to place his army in cantonment; first in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaveripakkam Coveripauk] (Kaveripak) and then in Chinesimandsum (Chimasasmudram) a short distance from Arcot. This was the end of the campaign in 1759.

'''This was an event during the [[3rd Carnatic War]]''' 

== Summary ==
The British started to strengthen the defences of [[Fort William]] because they expected a conflict with the French. [[Suraj-ud-Daulah]], Nawab of Bengal, saw this a a threat to his rule and demanded it should cease. He rejected the Governor's explanation and sent an army to enforce his will. Rajah Doolub Ram with 3,000 soldiers invested Cossimbazar on 22 May and the Nawab arrived with his army on 1 June. The fort was indefensible and obliged to surrender. Lieut Elliott commanding the small garrison shot himself.

He stirred the Pathan tribes into rebellion but was defeated by the Sikh army. He then increased his support and by 1829 gained control of Yusufzai and occupied [[Peshawar]]. His Hindustani zealots were once again defeated by the Sikhs and Saiyid Ahmad was killed. His disciples retreated to Sittana under the leadership of Saiyid Akbar.

The Hindustanis came into conflict with the British after the [[1st Sikh War]] when they supported the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hassanzai Hassanzai] tribesmen in the [[Black Mountain Expedition 1852-53|1st Black Mountain Expedition]]. They were driven from the fort at Kotla in January 1853. In 1857 they were joined by rebel sepoys from the [[55th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry|55th Regiment of Bengal Infantry]] and a punitive expedition was mounted against them. They were defeated in a series of engagements and finally destroyed at the [[Battle of Sittana]].

A further confrontation with the Hindudtani Fanatics took place in 1863. See the [[Ambela Campaign]].

== Summary ==
The Hadda Mullah stirred up jihad amongst the Mohmand tribes which resulted in an attack on the fort at [[Battle of Shabkadar Fort|Shabkadar]]. This was beaten off but further unrest resulted in the formation of an expeditionary force under General Elles. A series of punitive opérations including the [[Battle of Bedmanai Pass]] led to the eventual submission of the tribes.

== Private Samuel Shaw VC ==
SHAW, Same. (reg No. 1133).
Private 3rd Battalion Rifle Brigade 
London Gazetted on 26th October 1858 
VC Medal's Custodian is Royal Green Jackets Museum, Winchester, Hampshire. 
Born at Prestonpans, East Lothian, Scotland (date unknown). 
Died at sea on 27th December 1859. 
Commemorated on the Rifle Brigade Memorial, Winchester Cathedral, Hampshire. 
Digest of Citation reads: 
An armed Ghazi was seen entering a grove. A body of men, including officers, ran in search of him. Private Shaw, came across the rebel, and drew his short sword and rushed, single-handed, to attack the man. Private Shaw received a severe tulwar wound, during the struggle, but eventually overcame and killed the Ghazi. 
Additional information:. Private Shaw also held the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM).There was some doubt about the name Sam and whether his Christian name was really John. He was recommended for the Victoria Cross by Major General Sir James Hope Grant, KCB, who commanded the Lucknow Field Force. He died at sea, where the funeral was carried out near the coast of India. [http://www.victoriacross.co.uk/ Victoria Cross Research] 

''"One man, a Ghazee, being cut off from his companions, seemed determined to make a desperate fight for it. Setting his back to a tree, he stood, sword in hand, glaring fiercely on his pursuers, for some officers and men had followed him into the tope. Some shots were taken at him, which he tried to avoid by dodging round the tree, but he was wounded and made more desperate. At last a Pioneer of the 3rd Battalion,''' Samuel Shaw''', rushed at him and closed with him. The Ghazee wounded him on the head with his tulwar, but Shaw, drawing his Pioneer's sword, sawed at him with the serrated back and despatched him. Shaw rose from the ground covered with blood, but his opponent was slain. Many who witnessed it declared that this combat, with a fanatic determined to sell his life to slay his foe, was the greatest instance of cool courage they ever saw. For this act Shaw received the Victoria Cross."'' [http://books.google.com/books?id=_9-gAAAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=The+History+of+the+Rifle+Brigade&pgis=1 History of the Rifle Brigade p391]

'''This was an event during the [[3rd Carnatic War]]''' 

== Summary ==
After the [[Surrender of Kossimbazar]] Siraj ud Daulah advanced towards Calcutta which he reached on 16 June and drove in the British outposts. Attempts were made to evacuate women and children but panic overtook the defenders. Governor Drake, Captain Minchen and a large portion of the militia fled on board the vessels in the Hughli. With a garrison of only 200 the fort was overwhelmed. Though Siraj ud Daulah promised no harm would come to the 146 prisoners, they were packed into a small space where many of them suffocated overnight. John Holwell's account of the Black Hole of Calcutta has been challenged. The facts will probably never be established.

'''Bombay''' was the capital of the [[Bombay (Presidency)|Bombay Presidency]] and the headquarters of the district of the same name during the British period. Now called '''Mumbai''', it is the capital of the state of Maharashtra.

==Geography==
Originally there were [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Islands_of_Bombay Seven Islands of Bombay]:

*Isle of Bombay
*[[Colaba]]
*Old Woman's Island ([[Little Colaba]])
*[[Mahim]]
*[[Mazagon|Mazagaon]]
*[[Parel]]
*[[Worli]]

They were gradually merged by land reclamation until they were one land mass by 1845.

==History==
Located on the inlet of Bom Bahia (beautiful bay), the city was [[Portuguese]] controlled from 1534. It passed to British rule in 1661 when it was received by Charles II as part of his marriage dowry from his Portuguese wife, Catherine of Braganza. During this time there were three [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Governors_of_Bombay#Royal_Governors_.281662.E2.80.931668.29 Royal Governors]. In 1668 it was granted to the [[East India Company]] for a lease of ten pounds a year and was administered by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Governors_of_Bombay#Company_Governors_.281668.E2.80.931862.29 Company Governors]. These became [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Governors_of_Bombay#Crown_Governors_.281862.E2.80.931948.29 Crown Governors] when rule was transferred to the UK government. Until the 18th century, Bombay consisted of seven islands. The islands were merged to form the present day location of the city.

Compared to the other [[Presidencies]], Bombay was of minor significance before 1800. The English were very much the minority. Recognising this, a liberal attitude encouraged progressive Indian cotton merchants, this freedom resulted in Bombay's economic importance. It was the cotton industry that spurred economic migration to the city from surrounding rural areas, and saw Bombay’s population grow rapidly:
*Year Population
*1700 10,000
*1800 100,000
*1900 775 000

Following the [[Battle of Kirkee]] 1817 and the defeat of the Peshwas, the Bhor Ghat road to [[Poona]] opened 1830, allowing greater access to the Deccan cotton fields. Railways much improved goods transport, the [[Great Indian Peninsula Railway]] (GIPR)opened in 1864. This allowed Bombay to fill the global demand for cotton resulting from shortages as a consequence of the American Civil War’s blockade of its southern ports(1860-1865). The opening of the Suez Canal 1869 further shortened the passage to England. The resultant economic boom saw wealthy businessmen sponsor many civic buildings – University Library Buildings, Jamsetji Jijibhoy (JJ) School of Art, and the Mechanics Institute. From the 1860‘s many municipal improvement schemes focused on improving health and sanitation.

Because of the cosmopolitan mix of Bombay Society, it is [[architect]]urally unlike the most of colonial india's neo-classicism; the wealth citizens of Bombay, and the city's [[Public Works Department]] opted for Venetian-Gothic designs with alterations to suit the Indian Climate. Victoria Terminus the station of the GIPR, adorned with Indian motifs represents this patronage. Bombay introduced Modernist architecture to India seeing new concrete construction methods as an inclusive architecture available to India's masses in the lead up to Independence.

Symorsebrown: Layout, widget

In 1858 the control of [[British India]] was transferred to the Crown whose representative was the [[Governor-General]] otherwise known as the Viceroy. The land was divided into Provinces under local administrations. At the turn of the 20th century the division was as follows: 
'''Major Provinces''' comprising the older provinces which had enjoyed a longer period of settled government. They were headed by a Governor or Lieutenant-Governor (except Central Provinces) and were [[Bengal (Province)|Bengal]], [[Madras (Province)|Madras]], [[Bombay (Province)|Bombay]], [[United Provinces]], [[Central Provinces]], [[Punjab]], [[Assam]] and [[Burma]]. 
'''Minor Provinces''' that were administered by a Chief Commissioner and were [[North West Frontier Province]]. British [[Baluchistan]], [[Coorg]], [[Ajmer-Merwara]] and [[Andaman Islands|Andaman & Nicobar Islands]]. 

The provinces were further broken down into [[Divisions]] each of which had a number of Districts.

'''Ahmadnagar''' was the headquarters of [http://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V05_119.gif Ahmednagar District] in the Central division of [[Bombay (Presidency)|Bombay Presidency]] during the British period. See [[Bombay Districts]].

Ahmednagar Fort, in Ahmednagar city, was the centre of the British cantonment used by artillery and infantry units, primarily between 1849 and 1921. "The Fort is in the centre of the cantonment, 2½ miles N E of the railway station. Close to it are Christ Church and a R C Church. The European Barracks are 1 mile S E of it". <ref> [http://www.archive.org/stream/handbooktravelle00john#page/346/mode/2up Page 347] ''A Handbook for Travellers in India, Burma, and Ceylon'' published by John Murray, London, Eighth Edition 1911</ref>

In 1913 a Remount Depot was established to house 500 horses. In 1921, six Armoured Car companies were based there and in 1924 a [[Royal Tank Corps]] School was established at Ahmednagar. This School was the forerunner of the Fighting Vehicle School, and the area is now occupied by the Indian Armament & Electronics Regiment.

A remote hillside about six miles outside the city at Arangaon was leased by the British Indian Army towards the end of the First World War to house two (plague) segregation camps, supervised by the [[102nd Prince of Wales's Own Grenadiers| 2nd/102nd King Edward's Own Grenadiers]] and the 2nd/[[128th Pioneers]] of the Indian Army in 1919 on what later became known as Meherabad Hill.<ref>Greveson, Alan.

Allahabad was an important junction on the main line of the [[East Indian Railway]]. Here, the line from [[Calcutta]] bifurcated with one line running north to [[Delhi]] and the other south-west to [[Jubbulpore]] where there was an end-to-end connection with the [[Great Indian Peninsula Railway]]'s main line from [[Bombay]]. In 1925, when both the EIR and GIPR became state railways, the section from Jubbulpore to Allahabad was transferred to the GIPR. The [[Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway]] had a terminus at Allahabad.

'''Mussoorie''' was a [[hill station]] situated in the Dehra Dun District of [[United Provinces]] during the British period. See [[United Provinces Districts]]. It was developed from 1825 as a summer retreat and remains a popular tourist destination. Several boarding schools catering for British families were established in and around Mussoorie.

'''Landour''' was a cantonment adjacent to Mussoorie. There are a few references to a cantonment at Mullingar, which is probably part of Landour, where there is a Mullingar Hill.

'''Poona''' is a city about 100km south-east of [[Bombay]] (now Mumbai), which was a popular social retreat for residents of Bombay as well as formerly the largest garrison town in the Deccan for the [[British Army]]. The British comedian, [http://www.spikemilligan.co.uk/ Spike Milligan], spent his childhood there (his father was in the [[Royal Artillery]]). There was also another cantonment nearby, at [[Kirkee]].

Poona was the headquarters of [http://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V20_171.gif Poona District] in the Central division of [[Bombay (Presidency)|Bombay Presidency]] during the British period. See [[Bombay Districts]]. It was an important junction where the metre gauge [[Southern Mahratta Railway]] met the broad gauge of the [[Great Indian Peninsula Railway]].

Modern Pune lies on the west side of the Deccan plateau beneath the Western Ghats (Sahyadri mountain range) at the confluence of the Mula and Mutha rivers. Known for its textiles and metal working, it is now the sixth largest city in India, with India's largest student population, and site of the ashram of the Orange People (followers of Sri Rajneesh).

== History ==
Poona grew under the Moguls from 1636 as a trade route. Its importance escalated after 1750 when it became the capital of the Marathá Empire, where the Peshwas had their palace.

A battle for Poona in October 1802 between the Peshwa Bajirao II and the Holkars led to the 2nd Anglo-Maratha War.

The British involvement in Poona began after the 1802 Treaty of Bassein - when Peshwā Bjī Rao allowed the English to station a small military force in the town.

After the Peshwas were defeated at the [[Battle of Poona]] on 17/18 November 1817 (aka: Battle of Yeraoda) between the British and the Marathas near Poona in the [[3rd Maratha War]] the city was seized. It was placed under the administration of the Bombay Presidency. The British built a large military cantonment to the east of the city (still used by the Indian Army).

The arrival of the railways opened up communication routes to Bombay, previously constrained by the terrain.

Poona Municipality was established in 1858 and was at one time the "monsoon capital" of the [[Bombay Presidency]].

=== Cadet Regiment===
There was a cadet company at Mount Abu, part of the 2nd Battalion, [[Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway Regiment|Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway Volunteer Rifles]].<ref> [https://archive.org/stream/rajputanadistri00agegoog#page/n141/mode/2up Page 122] ''Rajputana District Gazetteers: Volume I-A Ajmer Merwara'' by C C Watson, ICS 1904 Archive.org</ref> There is no mention of a cadet company in the reminiscences of Kenneth Staynor (above), so perhaps the cadet company was connected with Abu Lawrence School.
