==Cantonments==
"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]</ref>
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>
