'''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]].
