In the trenches he was always cheery and his good spirits infected his platoon, who were always a happy crowd and used to sing under even the most trying conditions." In 1913, he and another officer of his regt. were sent from Khartoum to find a channel between the Rivers Toole and Jur to facilitate communication with Wau and Khartoum, this entailed their going through country where no European had ever been before.

Consul-General at these places. From Norway he joined the Civil Service, and at the early age of 24 went out to British East Africa as Assistant District Commissioner. There he did much useful work, taking a very great interest in the native tribes, whose laws and customs he studied. His unique collection of their many strange customs was published by the Royal Anthogeological Society. In 1906 Lieut. Dundas was appointed political officer to the Nandi Field Force, for which he received a medal and clasp. In 1907 he became District Commissioner. In Jan. 1915 he returned to England with five months' leave due to him. Finding there was so much for every Britisher to do, he felt he must try and do his best, so it was arranged he should be seconded from the Colonial Office to the Admiralty for the duration of the war. He was then given a commission in the Royal Naval Division, and appointed to the Collingwood Battn. After training at the Crystal Palace and at Blandford, the battn. left England in May, sailing for the Dardanelles. Four days after Lieut. Dundas landed the Collingwood Battn. went into action on 4 June. Exceedingly heavy fighting took place, and the battn. was almost "wiped out." The Col. and 12 officers were killed, 9 were wounded and 4 missing, whilst the men suffered greatly also. Lieut. Dundas and two other officers were the sole survivors. After this Lieut. Dundas was transferred to the Anson Battn., as the Collingwood ceased to exist. For two months he served on the Gallipoli Peninsula, enduring great hardships and toil, but always hopeful and uncomplaining, till the morning of 7 Aug., when he was killed at the landing at Suvla Bay. He was buried on the Kuchuk Kemikli promontory of Anafarta Bay. He _m._ at St. Paul's, Brighton, Anne Claudia Whalley (Melville Castle, Lasswade, Midlothian), yr. dau. of the late Capt.
