The Khojak Pass.
General Wapshare, who commanded the British garrison at Quetta, decided to forestall any Afghan attempts to invade or to stir up trouble amongst the tribes in Baluchistan by launching an attack against the Afghan fort at Spin Baldak which lay some six miles inside the border. He assembled a force which consisted of two British, two Indian and two Gurkha battalions, together with some cavalry, artillery and a squadron of the Machine Gun Corps, and supported by some aircraft of the Royal Air Force, around the frontier railhead of Chaman. The two Gurkha battalions were the 1st/4th Gurkha Rifles and the 2nd/10th Gurkha Rifles.
