Tochi Expedition
The Tochi Expedition was a punitive visit by Anglo-Indian troops to the Tochi Valley, Waziristan in 1897 to put down a rebellion there.[1]
The rebellion started with an attack by the Madda Khel section of the Waziris in June 1897.[2]
The Tochi Valley Field Force assembled in response was commanded by General Corrie Bird[3] and included the 1st Brigade under the command of Brigadier-General Charles Egerton.[4] The rebellion was finally put down in October 1897.[5]
