The Operations in the Tochi (28 November 1914 – 27 March 1915) were carried out by the Indian Army during World War I on the North West Frontier.

On the 28 and 29 November a raid by 2,000 tribesmen from Khost was defeated by the North Waziristan Militia near Miranshah, on the Tochi.

The next January the militia again defeated a raid by tribesmen which had attacked Spina Khaisora.

On 25–26 March a force of over 7,000 tribesmen, threatened Miranshah, but was defeated by the Bannu Brigade together with the local militia.

He gave the order to retire, and could have himself escaped, but most gallantly sacrificed his own life by attempting to effect the rescue of one of his men who had lost his horse.He was buried in the Miranshah Cemetery, North Waziristan, and is commemorated on the Delhi Memorial (India Gate).
