EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the British regimental crests, meticulously carved into the rock face of the Cherat Hills in Pakistan, circa 1908. The Cherat Hills, located above the village of Saleh Khana, served as a hill station and sanatorium for British troops. The breathtaking view from this vantage point encompassed the entire Peshwar valley, part of the Khwarra valley, and the Kohat district, which was then part of the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) in British India. The rock face bears the insignia of various British regiments, including the Duke of Welsh Fusiliers, Devonshire Regiment, Scots Highlanders, and Black Watch. These regiments had a significant presence in the region, with battalions stationed in the area to maintain order and defend against potential threats. The intricately designed badges, each unique to their respective regiment, were a testament to the rich military history of the region. The regimental crests, carved with great care and precision, showcase the dedication and pride of the soldiers who served in the British Indian Army during this era. The Cherat Hills, with their stunning vistas and historical significance, continue to be an important part of the cultural heritage of Pakistan. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the British Empire held sway over the region and the regiments stationed here played a crucial role in maintaining order and security.
