Jocie, Just realized this evening that a day or two ago I said Agra had no water supply and thus was deserted... got my wires crossed... it was Fatepursikri [spelling?] that was built way back and then they found it lacked adequate water... It's a desreted city- lovely old buildings- or was some decades ago when I visited-Thought I'd better set the record staright there.
As you correctly said, the Brits had an Army post there...
