'''Kasauli''' is a small town in the foot hills of the Himalayas. This India List [http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/india/1998-09/0904716348 post] advises that Kasauli, together with [[Dagshai]] and [[Subathu]] is one of a number of hill depots created by the
British army in the mid-19th century for the families and some of the troops to escape to in the hot weather which was so unhealthy in the plains. Up to at least 1870 it was used as a convalescent depot <ref>[http://books.google.com.au/books?id=ffcIAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA373 page 373], ''Abstract of the proceedings of the Sanitary Commissioner with the Government of India, for the months of January, February, March and April 1870'' Google Books</ref> The town sits on the ridge of a wooded hill on the road between [[Chandigarh]] and [[Simla]].
