{{MidRN}} '''Walter Leslie Rundle''', (25 September, 1851 &ndash; 22 June, 1869) served in the [[Royal Navy]].

==Life & Career==
Rundle was appointed to {{UK-1Minotaur}} on 12 April, 1867, and died died as a {{MidRN}} on full pay in mid-1869.  

Newspapers reports indicate that he was appointed to [[H.M.S. Endymion (1865)|''Endymion'']], additional,{{NMI|24 May 1869, p. 12}} and then to the wooden screw corvette [[H.M.S. Scylla (1856)|''Scylla'']], additional{{NMI|31 May 1869, p. 12}} in late May 1869.

He died on 22 June due to disease at East Park, Newton Abbot,<ref>''Naval & Military Gazette and Weekly Chronicle of the United Service'', London, 3 Jul 1869.</ref> which introduces some doubt as to which ship he was assigned, exactly, at the time of death.  ''Minotaur'', if he was in her, was then flagship in the [[Channel Squadron]].

Rundle's messmates erected a plaque in All Saints Church, Highweek, Devon "as a token of their sincere regard and esteem for one who was frank and open-hearted, and who, by the amiability of his disposition, became a favourite with all."

The plaque sits alongside Captain [[Joseph Sparkhall Rundle]], (5 August, 1815 &ndash; 1880), and Commander [[Walter Wemyss Leslie]], (? &ndash; 1863).<ref>Email from Tess Walker, 20200724.</ref>

Rundle Road, named after the family, is near the site of East Park (since demolished), in Highweek parish of Newton Abbot.<ref>Email from Tess Walker, 20200726.</ref>
