The last letters sent from the Gallipoli theatre by Lt. Hon. Kenneth R Dundas RNVR (Anson Battalion) to his wife, Claudia, together with a 3,300-word letter to Mrs Dundas from his comrade-in-arms, the poet-dramatist, Lt. Hugh Moreton Frewen RNVR, describing the last days of Lt. Dundas, his death, his battlefield funeral (‘a wonderful threnody’) and arrangements for his personal effects. Also to include letters and telegrams of condolence from Viscount Melville and other members of the family; a small photograph (6.8 x 4.5cm) of KRD and another (possibly Frewen) in a dugout; a fine 12” silver Albert chain (maker’s mark of John Thompson & Son, London date mark 1898); the silver photograph frame (8.8cm in diameter) referred to in Frewen's letter and with later explanatory note penned by Mrs Dundas; various other family papers to include the 1915 Grant of Probate of the Will of KRD and the 1916 Epitome of the Will of Thomas Alderman Hougton (1828 -1918).Letters from KRD to his wife dated 29.05.1915, 27.07.1915, 29.07.1915, 31.07.1915, 04.08.1915, 06.08.1915 and one other undated, probably an 'in the event of my death letter', which begins ‘My own sweetheart, We go into action again shortly and the chances of living through it are small. I write to you now therefore to say what I can to comfort you…’, which, Mrs Dundas refers to in a note to her son, 'reached me after Hugh Frewen's came, and I think it saved my life.' Moreton Frewen’s 3,300-word letter, written the day after Dundas’ death, goes into some detail and quotes Dundas directly, “Frewen, I want to tell you the buzz. We’ve come to the wrong beach…” and also his last words, “Go and help others.”. Frewen continues, ‘I want you to hear Mrs. Dundas, in its full details, what had happened, so that you may judge of what a perfectly heroic death he died. It was glorious. Sir Philip Sidney’s was no finer. He died as he had lived, true to the traditions of his name and race, a Scot, a Dundas, and a true and heroic gentleman … he even tried to free himself from their hold [the medical officers attempting to ligature his carotid artery] on the artery that he might no longer detain them.’Frewen’s letter is perhaps one of the longest, best-composed, most poetic and emotional letters of condolence sent from the beaches of Gallipoli. Written in pencil in an Active Service Compendium notebook with 1914 and 1915 calendars, it consists of 31 pages, some loose, and begins:Aug. 8th 1915  “C” beach, Anafarta Bay, Gallipoli Peninsular Dear Mrs Dundas,Though we have never met, I write to you as a dear friend, for an inscrutable providence has ordained that we meet in spirit to share the same grief – a grief too poignant for words. For nearly 3 months I have shared with your husband the same life in camp and in the field, we always messed together and occupied the same quarters, whether a ‘dug-out’ in Gallipoli or a tent at Imbios ...'  (Full transcript available on request).

Military Medal – London Gazette 1st January 1941 ‘The King has been graciously pleased to approve the following awards in recognition of gallant conduct’, The original citation for the Military medal reads; “One Pinnace and 5 Seaplane Tenders left Calshot at 0430 hours on Thursday, 30th May, and proceeded to Dunkirk to assist in the evacuation of the B.E.F. They were towed by a tug but owing to rough weather the tow had to be cast off and the boats were ordered to proceed under their power. They were then engaged on the very difficult task of ferrying soldiers from the beach to larger vessels lying off the shore. During this operation, although not individually attacked, they were constantly under shell fire and subject to raids. Under difficult circumstances of a lee shore and heavy swell it has been reported that some 500 men were taken off and saved. In the process two Seaplane Tenders were lost, one through over-crowding and the second through damage to propellers and subsequent grounding. On Sunday, the 2nd June, two Seaplane Tenders were required to perform a special duty. The crews were selected from volunteers. During the passage to Dunkirk the two boats were first bombed and then repeatedly machine -gunned by three enemy aircraft. In the attacks Seaplane Tender No.243 was sunk and of the officers, crew and passengers, only one was saved. Seaplane Tender No.276, of which Corporal Flower was in charge, was ordered by the Senior Naval Officer present to carry on to Dunkirk in execution of orders. During the whole of the operations in which the Seaplane Tenders were involved, the coxswains and crews showed a strong sense of discipline and duty. In this, the work of Corporal Flower and his crew is specially mentioned. After being subjected to bombing and machine gun fire, in which his starboard engine throttle controls were shot away, Corporal Flower, when ordered to do so, carried on to Dunkirk, completed his task and returned to Dover with only one engine serviceable. It is considered that the resourcefulness of Corporal Flower and his crew contributed to saving Seaplane Tender No. 276 and the personnel on board when attacked. Thus, a machine gun mounting was improvised out of a towing bollard, engine starting handle, tubing and rope. From this they were able to maintain a high rate of fire with their Lewis Gun. Corporal Flower, during the operation of the 30th May and 2nd June, carried out his duties in a most commendable way and is therefore strongly recommended for the award of the Empire Gallantry Medal or the British Empire Medal for Meritorious Service.’
