Sir Samuel J. Browne (Overall Command of the Peshawar Valley Field Force)
•
The Peshawar Valley Field Force was a British field force of around 12,000 men, a mix of both British regiments and Indian regiments, under the command of Sir Samuel J. Browne during the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878-1880).
His remains were cremated but there is a memorial marker dedicated to Browne in the Ryde New Cemetery, as well as plaques at St Paul's Cathedral and Lahore Cathedral.

Later the wearing of the Sam Browne belt would be adopted by other officers who knew Browne in India, but it was not to come into common use in the British Army until after his retirement.
