The history of Lucknow (80.92E
26.849N) can be traced back at least to the 13th century. It
endured a 12-week siege in 1857, during the Sepoy Mutiny, but was
recaptured by the British
in 1858. In 1941, it was a major rail center and a market for
agricultural and light industrial goods, with a population in 1941
of about 500,000 persons.

Indian Brigade was activated here in the spring of 1941, and
was probably still stationed here when war broke out in the
Pacific.
