The Mohmand Blockade began in late September 1916 and continued on into
July 1917. The Blockade was made up of a series of blockhouses and barbed
wire defences manned by men of the British and Indian armies along the
British border of Mohmand territory. The Blockade began in response to excessive
Mohmand raiding of the Peshawar settled district. The most important
engagement occurred on 15th November where at the Third Affair of Hafiz
Kor, a large number of Mohmands were defeated. The Blockade was lifted in
July 1917 when the Mohmands finally submitted. Please select any of
the images below of the Mohmand Blockade for greater detail. |
