Although never designated as such, the 5th Gurkha Regiment was brigaded with the force in practice. All but two of the infantry regiments took the field in the Second Afghan War, and their subsequent awards were:- 1st Sikh Infantry; ALI MASJID, AFGHANISTAN 1878-80 2nd Sikh Infantry; AMED KHEL, KANDAHAR 1880, AFGHANISTAN 1878-80 3rd Sikh Infantry; KABUL 1879, KANDAHAR 1880, AFGHANISTAN 1879-80 1st Punjab Infantry; AFGHANISTAN 1878-79 2nd Punjab Infantry; PEIWAR KOTAL, AFGHANISTAN 1878-79 4th Punjab Infantry; AFGHANISTAN 1879-80 5th Punjab Infantry; PEIWAR KOTAL, CHARASIA, KABUL 1879, AFGHANISTAN 1878-80 5th Gurkha Regiment; PEIWAR KOTAL, CHARASIA, KABUL 1879, AFGHANISTAN 1878-80 Spending cuts after the war resulted in the disbandment of the 3rd Punjab Infantry in 1882.
