Dundas | Laurence Charles | | Captain | DUNDAS, LAURENCE CHARLES, Captain, was born in Ireland in 1857. He joined the King's (Liverpool) Regiment in 1878; served in the Afghan War of 1878-80; was present at the action of 28 November 1878, in the Kurram Valley; at the battle and capture of Paiwar Kotal (Medal with clasp), and in the Zaimukt Expedition, 1879. He was acting Adjutant of his battalion from 1878 to 1880; Adjutant 1883-87. He served in the Burmese Expedition, 1885-87; was mentioned in Despatches, recommended for the VC, received the Medal and clasp, and was created a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order [London Gazette, 26 November 1886]: "For operations in Burma. Laurence Charles Dundas, Captain, Liverpool Regiment". Queen Victoria presented the Insignia of the Order to Captain Dundas on 26 November 1886, and he was the first officer to be personally decorated by Her Majesty with the new Decoration. He was Political Officer in Upper Burma in 1886; was Brigade Major 1887-88; Staff Officer, 1st Class, 1888-90; DAAG 1890-93; officiating AAG 1893—95. He served for four years in the Quartermaster-General's Department. He retired from the Army, and was Deputy Governor of Liverpool Prison 1887-89; of Portland Prison 1889-1900, and Governor of Maidstone Prison 1900-02. Major Dundas married Lady Mary Bertie, daughter of the 11th Earl of Lindsey. He died 9 June 1909. Colonel Grogan (late commanding the King's Regiment) said of Major Dundas that he was a "good and zealous officer". He was appointed DAAG in India in 1886, in consequence of the very favourable reports which reached the Commander-in-Chief in India of the services rendered by him in Upper Burma. Colonel Le Mesurier (late commanding the 2nd King's Liverpool Regiment) wrote of Major Dundas's "distinguished conduct throughout the campaign". His "brilliant soldier-like qualities" were mentioned in Regimental Orders, dated 10 October 1887; and Colonel St John Mitchell said that Major Dundas was one of the quickest and most business-like workers he had ever known, if not the best of all the officers who had ever worked under him, and had he—Lieutenant Colonel St John Mitchell—a big job to do, such as the sudden preparation and despatch of a large expedition, Major L C Dundas was the first man he would ask for—a man who could conduct the great business operation of the trooping at Calcutta without a hitch is not found every day or every year.
