- 9 (Plassey) Battery Royal Artillery is an air defence battery of the Royal Artillery that serves with the British Army's 12th Regiment Royal Artillery. It is stationed at Baker Barracks, Thorney Island, West Sussex. The battery was originally formed as the first unit of the Bengal Artillery, raised in 1749 as part of the Honourable East India Company's Army. It was originally titled 1 Company, Bengal Artillery and was quartered in Fort William, Calcutta and was still garrisoned there when the fort was assaulted by the Nawab of Bengal. The majority of the battery subsequently died as prisoners of the Nawab in the now infamous Black Hole of Calcutta incident. Soon after the battery saw action in the Battle of Plassey as part of the force led by Sir Clive of India on 23 June 1757. It was the batteries heroic actions at this battle which later earned it the honour title 'Plassey'. On 19 February 1862 all the artillery of the East India Company was transferred to the Royal Artillery, and the battery became 1 Battery, 24 Brigade. In 1876 the battery moved to England and suffered an eclectic 6 years, re-roling and changing names many times. In 1882 it returned to what it knew and was posted to Burma, fighting in the Third Burma War. In 1889 it finally settled as 2 Mountain Battery, a title it would retain for the next fifty years. It finally became 9 (Plassey) Battery on 19 March 1947. (en)
