Can't find a Dundas in either cavalry regiment medal rolls
I wonder if he was related to James Dundas VC who was top of Alan's class at Addiscombe?

I came across this on: thepeerage.com

Reverend Neville Dundas was born on 11 February 1859 at Bath Somerset England. He was the son of Edward Thomas Dundas and Everilda Matdaunt Barnard.
He married firstly, Edith Jarriell Oakley on 22 September 1881 at Kensington London England.
He married, secondly Margaret Ruth Shelley, daughter of Spencer Shelley and Mary Renny Watson on 3rd February 1921 at Kensington London England.
He died on 16th October 1935 age 76 at Strathspey Scotland. He was a vicar at holy Trinity, Stepney London England.

Looking into his family history his brother seems to be a Ralph Bristow Dundas.
His Grandfather Edward, son of Thomas Dundas of Manour and Eliza Georgina Bristow, daughter of Reverand Mordount. His grandfather died 05 January 1920 age 92.
His grandfather and great-grandfather worked for the East India Company. His grandfather born there in Calcutta 5th Dec 1827.

Thanks Eddie
So Neville was not a brother of James Dundas
James's father was George Dundas esq of Edinburgh.

One of the decendants was Lt Commander William John Dundas who survived the sinking of the HMS Hood by the Bismarck in WW2.

James Dundas VC had an elder brother who was a Major in the 12th (East Stafford) Regiment.
Major Thomas Dundas joined as an Ensign in 1842. and fought in the Kaffir war of 1852-53.

There is also a Major James Durham Dundas of the 60th Regiment died 1886. Was this major involved in the Anglo Zulu wars at the same time as Reverand Neville Dundas.
No! Just realised it was the 90th in the Zulu war.
