Take over of India by the British Army?
But you are right there were large camps well before 1858.

In that case, what is the reason for your start date? I think we have
some big camps before 1858 (though I am going from an increasingly
disintegrating memory).

Please respond to Issues
related to Sites & Monuments
Records
Lee,
For this project, 'An army camp is any site used to accommodate large
numbers of soldiers under canvas or in temporary or semi-permanent
hutting.
A camp can be built in isolation, or can be an adjunct to other
complexes for example barracks, ordnance depots, military headquarters,
rifle ranges, gunnery schools etc. Smaller camps of varying sizes were
also built in association with searchlight and anti-aircraft batteries,
but these are not within the scope of this study.' We have also already
tackled PoW camps and barracks, so no need to repeat on those.
Hope that helps.
John

Dear John,
This may sound like a daft question, but can you define what you
mean
by "Army camps", does this include barracks?
We have a few military structures etc on the SMR, which have been
entered by ourselves but not that much - DoB seems to have been
woefully deficient when it came to Co. Durham (not a very accurate
record by any stretch of the imagination...).
Cheers
Lee White
