Biography:
Christian Dalrymple Hamilton Dunlop was born in Southsea 29 June 1880, the only son of Captain Hamilton Dunlop, R.N. and Julia Dunlop of 23 Murrayfield Avenue, Edinburgh.
He came to Winchester College from George Watson's College, Edinburgh, in January 1894 and was in A House, Chernocke, under JS Furley. Dunlop left Winchester at Christmas 1897 and went into business with a firm of ship owners at Leith (possibly Turner, Morrison & Co. although his obituary states John Warrack & Co.). During this time he served for two years with the Mounted Company of the Queen's Edinburgh Volunteers (Royal Scots) and he certainly spent some time in India as he reported as attending Old Wykehamist dinners in Calcutta in 1907 and 1909.
After five years in India, he settled in Liverpool, where he entered the Stock Exchange and became Secretary of the Liverpool Rugby Football Club.
When war came, Dunlop enlisted at once in the Liverpool Scottish, obtaining a commission a few months later, and he went to the front in January 1915. He fell in action on 16 June 1915, while leading an attack on the enemy trenches near Bellewaarde Wood, Hooge. Although his grave was marked it was subsequently lost and he is commemorated on Panel 4 and 6 of the Menin Gate Memorial at Ypres.
