| 释义 |
The Jowaki Expedition was a British punitive expedition in India, occurring between 1877 and 1878. CourseIn 1877 the British government in India proposed reducing the allowance to the Jowaki Afridi tribe for guarding the Kohat Pass. In response the tribe cut the telegraph wire and raided into British territory, leading to two British sorties into its territory.[1] The first sortie of three columns in 1877 was led by Colonel Frederic David Mocatta, 3rd Sikh Infantry and the second of two columns in 1877-1878 by two brigadier generals, Charles Patton Keyes and Campbell Claye Grant Ross.[2] References1. ^FIBIS - Jowaki Expedition 2. ^Sothebys - Album of watercolours, pen-and-ink sketches and a manuscript account by Radford recording the Jowaki Expedition in the Kohat Pass 6 : 19th-century military history of the United Kingdom|1877 in India|1878 in India|Conflicts in 1877|Conflicts in 1878|Military history of British India |
