No Middlesex Battalion was engaged at strength in the Third Afghan War, but a detachment of men from the 9th and 10th Battalions served during the campaign, either on the strength of another unit, or in a Special Service Battalion.

John Brodbeck served on attachment to the 17th Special Service Battalion.

Albert Edward Wickham, one of only 3 ‘odd men’ from the 3rd Battalion, Middlesex Regiment to qualify for the Afghanistan N.W.F. 1919 clasp, served on attachment to the 2nd Signal Engineers.
