The 33rd (Reserve) Pack Battery was a Mountain Artillery unit employed in the use of field guns, which would accompany forces operating in mountainous regions. The guns were dismantled into three loads (piece, carriage and wheels) and carried on mules. The first mountain train in India was formed in 1840 for service in the 1st Afghan War and disbanded in 1843. Mountain Batteries formed part of the forces raised to defend the territory gained in the 2nd Sikh War in due course known as the North West Frontier Province. The Third Anglo-Afghan War, also known as the British-Afghan war of 1919 and in Afghanistan as the War of Independence, began on 6/5/1919 when the Emirate of Afghanistan invaded British India and ended with an armistice on 8/8/1919.
