A British officer is shot dead by Khostwal tribesmen in Waziristan, 1915

On 7 January 1915 a Khostwal lashkar (comprising of Zadrans, Tanis and Gurbaz) entered Waziristan to attack British posts in the Tochi valley (North Waziristan). They were attacking British posts in Waziristan because Britain had declared war against Ottoman caliphate on 5 November 1914. 

The British officer who got killed by the Khostwals at Spina Khaisora in Tochi valley, was given Victoria Cross by their government.
