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.

Richard John Brackstone attested for the British South African Police on 6 August 1901, and served with the Mashonaland Division during the Boer War. He was discharged on 5 August 1903. He subsequently attested for the Middlesex Regiment and served on attachment to the 2nd Motor Transport Company, Supply and Transport Corps during the Third Afghan War.
