The Peshawar Valley Field Force was a British field force. It was the largest of three military columns created in November 1878 at the start of the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878-1880), each of which invaded Afghanistan by a different route. The Peshawar force initially consisted of around 16,000 men, a mix of both British and Indian Army regiments, under the command of Lieutenant General Sir Samuel J. Browne.

| - Die Peshawar Valley Field Force war eine britische Streitmacht, die Generalleutnant Sir während des Zweiten Anglo-Afghanischen Krieges von 1878 bis 1880 führte. Diese Streitmacht bestand in der ersten Schlacht dieses Krieges aus 12.000 Männer mehrerer britischer und indischer Regimenter in einer Kavallerie-, einer Artillerie- und vier Infanteriebrigaden. Die erste kämpferische Auseinandersetzung des zweiten Anglo-Afghanischen Krieges führte die Peshawar Valley Field Force erfolgreich in der Schlacht von Ali Masjid am 21. November 1878 durch. In der ersten Nacht dieser Schlacht verließen die afghanischen Streitkräfte das Fort Ali Masjid an der zentralen strategischen Position am Khyberpass. Deswegen verlief diese kriegerische Auseinandersetzung relativ unblutig. (de)

- The Peshawar Valley Field Force was a British field force. It was the largest of three military columns created in November 1878 at the start of the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878-1880), each of which invaded Afghanistan by a different route. The Peshawar force initially consisted of around 16,000 men, a mix of both British and Indian Army regiments, under the command of Lieutenant General Sir Samuel J. Browne. Browne's force crossed into Afghanistan from India in November 1878 and advanced up the Khyber Pass in the direction of Ali Masjid. Here, on 21 November 1878, the force gained victory at the Battle of Ali Masjid, the first battle of the war. The Field Force then progressed further into Afghanistan towards Kabul, occupying Jalalabad on 20 December 1878. After camping here over the winter, they advanced to Gandamak, 50 miles east of Kabul, in April 1879. The advance was however slow, given the difficulty in keeping communications open and the hostile attitude of the Afghan people. The Treaty of Gandamak in May 1879 marked the end of the first phase of the Afghan War and led to the withdrawal of the Peshawar Valley Field Force to India, where it was disbanded in mid–1879. (en)
