Regimental crests carved into the rocks in the Cherat Hills. (Border Regt on extreme left above soldiers)
Another version of [[:File:Khyber Pass Badges.jpg]] showing the Border Regiment crest.
Cherat was a hill station (4,500 feet elevation) and sanatorium for British troops above the village of Saleh Khana commanding a view over the whole of the Peshwar valley, part of the Khwarra valley and the Kohat district. It is in the Nowshera District of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, 34 miles south east from Peshawar. The British authorities built a hospital, church, and a few bungalows. During summer it was the headquarters of the Peshawar Division command, and of one of the two British regiments stationed at Peshawar. In the March 1901 census there were 376 inhabitants , but this rose to a garrison of sometimes 1,000 men in the hot season.
