Khyber Rifles is the oldest corps among the fourteen corps which comprises the Frontier Corps Khyber Pakhtunkhwa or Militia as it is lovingly known among the tribes and people of Pakistan. Although the very idea of tribal army is as old as the idea of civilisation, however, nowhere else in the world; the Militia is as conceptualised, evolved and institutionalised as in Pakistan. Frontier Corps is the last of such Militia Corps in the world which is still carrying the glamour, romance and the very core of Militia; its tribal components with all their traditions. Frontier Corps history and traditions originates with the raising of Khyber Rifles in 1878 and as such, Khyber Rifles are held in high esteem. Khyber Rifles real fame is embedded in the history of the very pass they guard; The Khyber Pass. History of Indus Valley and for that matter, the history of sub-continent is rooted in this thirty odd miles long pass. Khyber Pass truly is the geographical pivot of Pakistan's history. As such, the present book is not only an important document as a regimental history of the Khyber Rifles but also as the continuity of the millenniums old sacred task of preserving the Historia, for the future generations
