The Babina Cantonment website just quoted what someone else had said without verification. There are no records of any British army base there.
People say something is 'established' in a particular year, when it is opened for the first time. Not when it is already present earlier. Babina had the same name throughout the 1800s and 1900's, decades before the cantonment there was opened.
The full-form of the name is wrong, as Babina village was present with the same name long before the cantonment was opened.
