Kohat Cantonment
The British made Kohat an Army Divisional Headquarters,[3] and the military cantonment still exists today.Reports[4] from 1882 describe the strength of the Kohat garrison to be nearly 3,000, consisting of three regiments of native infantry, half a regiment of cavalry, a mountain battery, and a garrison battery for the fort.Kohat is also recorded in history books for two incidents involving attacks on British cantonments by local raiders.In November 1920, raiders attacked the house of Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Howard Foulkes, who was a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons,[5][6] and shot him dead.In the other incident, in 1923, the house of Major Ellis was attacked, his wife murdered and his daughter kidnapped (but later recovered).
