"The British began to establish summer camps for the troops in the Galliat area and by the 1880 Baragali, Kalabagh, and Khairagali were occupied by various artillery units. Gora Dhaka, [[Khanspur]] and Changlagali housed infantry units. Nathiagali and Dungagali were reserved for civil servants. Thandiani served as a hill station for the civil servants in Abbottabad. These summer camps (cantonments) had a mixture of permanent and semi-permanent buildings and were supplied by small bazaars to cater for the needs of the troops"<ref> [http://www.abbottabadonline.com/ abbottabadonline.com] ([http://web.archive.org/web/20130813052435/http://www.abbottabadonline.com/ archive.org] link)</ref> In 1907:<br>"Murree is only a sanitarium.

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.
