== Summary ==
The Hadda Mullah stirred up jihad amongst the Mohmand tribes which resulted in an attack on the fort at Shabkadr[[Battle of Shabkadar Fort|Shabkadar]]. This was beaten off but further unrest resulted in the formation of an expeditionary force under General Elles. A series of punitive operations opérations including the [[Battle of Bedmanai Pass]] led to the eventual submission of the tribes.
== Mohmand Field Force ==
''Commanded by Brig Gen E.R.Elles CB''<br>
