He was a Risaldar Major in the [[British Indian Army]].

Mir Dad Khan was born into a prominent family of the ethnic [[Pashtun people|Pashtun]] Tareen/Tarin clan, settled in village [[Rehana, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa|Rehana]] in the [[Haripur District]] of the Hazara region. After some basic schooling, he decided to enroll as a soldier in the (then) British Indian Army, at quite a young age.

He enlisted as a ''sowar'' (mounted trooper) in a [[cavalry]] regiment, the [[9th Hodson's Horse]], in 1887<ref name="IAL">British Library, Indian Army List (IAL), 1897-98, Entry Ref.No.32</ref> and after initial training, was posted to duties at [[Ambala]], [[Punjab region|Punjab]]. His first participation in a major military campaign was during the [[Chitral Expedition]] circa 1895–97. Subsequently, he served in the [[Tirah Campaign]] and operations in the Barra Valley, 1897–98.<ref name="IAL"/> Later, between October 1914 and mid-1915, he served along with his regiment in [[France]] in [[World War I]].

He was invalidated due to health reasons in 1915 and returned to [[India]] to the regimental depot until the end of the War. He retired in August 1918 and was awarded an [[Order of British India]] (2nd class) for long service. During his military service, he represented his regiment at the [[Delhi Durbar]]s of 1903 and 1911.<ref>Maj. FG Cardew, ''Hodson's Horse: A History'', Orig.

He died c. 1926 in Rehana.
