== Summary ==
From 1849 when the [[East India Company]] annexed the [[Punjab]] it became necessary to prevent incursion by the frontier Pakhtun tribes. Successive punitive expeditions subdued particular areas until further outrages occurred. Control of the region depended to a large extent on the [[Punjab Frontier Force]] recruited from local tribesmen commanded by British officers.
