Photograph of Afridi tribesmen at the Kohat Pass is from an album of rare historical photographs depicting people and places associated with the Second Anglo-Afghan War.
British authorities in Peshawar commenced construction of the Kohat Pass road in 1849,[2] and completed it by 1850 despite violent opposition from local tribes.[2] The pass was closed temporarily in 1853 after a quarrel arose among nearby tribes.[2] The road which connected Kohat to Rawalpindi via Khushalgarh was of little trouble compared to the Kohat Pass road.[2]
Travel times across the pass were dramatically reduced with the opening of the Kohat Tunnel in 2003.[3]
