Across the western end of the Attock bridge is a war memorial in the shape of a .303 rifle bullet, which is in fact the earliest WW1 monument erected anywhere in the British Empire. The tall memorial stands by the wayside on the western bank of River Indus. It was erected in April 1919 to the memory of the men of the 40th Pathan Regiment who took part in the Great War 1914-1918.

British military camp besides Bara river in the Khajuri Plain to deter the Afridi Pashtuns, 1930.

Photograph compiled by Major General Cecil Wotton Toovey.

In late 1930 the Rawalpindi Brigade was deployed to the Khajuri Plain west of Peshawar. Unrest had broken out in the region in 1930 and two incursions by Afridi tribesmen into the Peshawar District convinced the British Government of India to act to deter further uprisings. Karawal was a prominent hill overlooking the Khajuri Plain and it was selected as the site of a base for operations. The troops constructed roads and fortified posts in an effort to pacify the region. [National Army Museum, London].
