[[Insurrection at Murree]] 1857
==Cantonments==
In 1907:
<br>"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>Page 228, computer page 251 ''Punjab District Gazetteers, Volume XXVIIIA, Rawalpindi District 1907'', published 1909, available to read online on the [[Online books#Digital Library of India| Digital Library of India]] website.</ref>
