 It was the original location of the Army Staff College (now the Defence Services Staff College of India and the Command and Staff College of Pakistan).It is also the source of the British slang noun doolally tap, loosely meaning "camp fever", and referring to the apparent madness of men waiting for ships back to Britain after finishing their tour of duty.By the 1940s this had been widely shortened to just "doolally", an adjective meaning "mad (insane)" or "eccentric".
