It was situated about half way between Peshawar and Rawalpindi.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic Fort Attock on the banks of the Indus River in 1898.

Situated halfway between Peshawar and Rawalpindi, it guarded the passage of the mighty Indus River. The image showcases an architectural marvel that has witnessed centuries of history unfold. Captured from Afghan control by Ranjit Singh in 1813, Fort Attock fell into British hands after their victory in the 2nd Sikh War (1848-1849) when they annexed Punjab and established what would later become known as North West Frontier.
