"Murree is only a sanitarium. The mountain batteries go from [[Rawalpindi]] to the Hazara Galis. Clifden, Sunny Bank and Kuldannah form one cantonment. Clifden is, in summer, filled with a large number of women and children from Rawalpindi and [[Peshawar]]. A British Infantry Regiment is located at Kuldannah, and another in a temporary camp at Gharial, which also receives detachments from the summer garrison of Rawalpindi. Barian, on the borders of this district and Hazara, usually has a British Infantry Regiment from Peshawar or [[Nowshera]]".<ref name=name>[https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.105626/page/n249/mode/2up Page 228], computer page 251 ''Punjab District Gazetteers, Volume XXVIIIA, Rawalpindi District 1907'', published 1909.
