General Ralph Dundas (1730-1814) was a Scottish-born officer in the British Army. As Commander of the Army of the Midlands, Dundas was tasked with countering the spreading United Irishmen rebellion in the region in 1798. Despite his forces successfully beating off almost every attack, Dundas issued a general order for all Crown soldiers and militia under his command to withdraw to Naas, in effect abandoning much of County Kildare to the rebels. Ultimately, catastrophic rebel defeats at Carlow and at Tara Hill in County Meath effectively ended the rebellion in the midlands. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Dundas
