[edit] Details from Encyclopædia Britannica

I have added details to the history and location section based on the details from Encyclopædia Britannica entry

“ CHERAT, a hill cantonment and sanatorium in the Peshawar District of the North-West Frontier Province, India, 34 m. S.E. of Peshawar. It is situated at an elevation of 4500 ft., on the west of the Khattak range, which divides the Peshawar from the Kohat district. It was first used in 1861, and since then has been employed during the hot weather as a health station for the British troops quartered in the hot and malarious vale of Peshawar. ”
