Razmak Camp, Waziristan, 1940 (c)

Photograph, India, North West Frontier, 1940 (c).

During the spring of 1922 it was decided to locate the main garrison of Waziristan at Razmak. The self-contained cantonment, capable of holding 10,000 men, was established in January 1923. New roads linking the garrisons and camps in the area were constructed to permit speedier troop movements.
