For nearly 200 years Mardan has been a major military base. It is the headquarters of the elite Guides Corps formed by the British in 1846 to guide regular units in the field, collect intelligence and keep the peace on the Northwest Frontier. In the center of Mardan there is a memorial arch to those Guides who died in Kabul in 1879. It is an imposing Moghul Gothic structure.
