Changes

'''Barrackpore''', about 15 miles from [[Calcutta]], became the site of the first British barracks in India in 1772. Later, the town also housed the residence of the [[Viceroy]].

The cantonment was the scene of the [[Barrackpore Mutiny]] in 1824 and also the 1857 incident with Mangal Pandey that is often said to have started the [[Indian Mutiny]].
