JOHN WINGATE RUNDALL
1898- 1960
The late Colonel Rundall was elected to the Alpine Club in December 1928, C. G. Bruce being his proposer and E. L. Strutt his seconder.
His qualification was mainly based on excursions in the Himalaya between 1923 and 1926. With H. D. Minchinton (see A.J. 39· 303) he had done a good deal of rock scrambling round Dharmsala and he prepared for the Himalayan Club a small guide (not officially published) to the Kangra mountains. In 1928, with Captain Birnie, he spent a month climbing round Arolla.
He was at the time of his election a Captain in the 1st K. G. O. Gurkha Rifles, but was later on attached duty for two years with the 3rd Assam Rifles, at Kohima. It is regrettable that so little is known of his activities and interests.
