1608 Major Valentine Fleming DSO (17 February 1882 – 20 May 1917) was a British Conservative Member of Parliament who was killed in World War I. He was the father of authors Peter Fleming and Ian Fleming who created the James Bond character.

Early years
Born in Newport-on-Tay, Fife, Fleming was the son of Sarah (née Hindmarsh) and Robert Fleming, a wealthy Scottish banker and founder of the merchant bank, Robert Fleming & Co. Fleming was educated at Eton College and Magdalen College, Oxford. He married Evelyn Beatrice Sainte Croix Rose in London on 15 February 1906. Together they had four sons; adventurer and travel writer Peter (father of actress Lucy Fleming), novelist Ian (author of the James Bond novels), Richard (whose son is billionaire Adam Fleming), and Michael.

From 1906 to 1911, the family lived at Braziers Park in Ipsden, Oxfordshire. On his election to parliament, they moved to Pitt House on Hampstead Heath in 1910. He was a Member of Parliament for Henley from 1910 to 1917. In 1914 they built a house at Arnisdale, near Kyle of Lochalsh in the Scottish Highlands.

Military service
At the outbreak of World War I Valentine was a Captain in 'C' Squadron, Queen's Own Oxfordshire Hussars, a yeomanry regiment, having received his commission on 30 June 1908. After a month of training the regiment was sent to France on 22 September 1914.

He wrote a "brisk and breezy account" to a fellow officer in England in 1914 about the start of the war. Initially the regiment had little more than "a tour of the principal French watering places" followed by a fortnight hanging about Dunkirk and Saint-Omer ("Very dull"), but then on 30 October were told by General de Lisle to:

occupy a line of trenches on the right of Messines. This was disagreeable as projectiles of every variety were exploding with a disquieting regularity all over the ground of our advance. .... Off we went, over some very holding ground, three squadrons in a succession of rushes in extended lines, the regularity of which was still disturbed by the wire! (Never move without nippers on the Sam Browne belt!). Luckliy we had no man hit – I can’t think why – which put some heart into the men .... we began to wonder how to fix the bloody bayonets with which we had been issued two days previously. .... About 4.30 am they were relieved and marched back about two miles to get breakfast, v. hungry and sleepy . (But then De Lisle told them that the line had been broken, so) with empty bellies we become plodding up the usual wire-enclosed ploughed fields on the left of Messines, being pooped at by very high and wild rifle fire .... It was a very trying day for the men, they were d—-d hungry. (The line held, just; but Messines and its Ridge were taken, see Battle of Messines and First Battle of Ypres).
He also wrote to a close friend Winston Churchill in 1914 (the following is an excerpt):

Imagine a broad belt [of land], ten miles or so in width, stretching from the Channel to the German frontier near Basle, which is positively littered with the bodies of men…in which farms, villages, and cottages are shapeless heaps of blackened masonry; in which fields, roads and trees are pitted and torn and twisted by [artillery] shells...
Fleming was promoted to Major on 2 November 1914 and became the commanding officer of 'C' Squadron. He was appointed the second-in-command of the regiment in January 1916.

Fleming was killed by German shellfire at Gillemont Farm, near Épehy, Somme, France on 20 May 1917. For his service, Valentine was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Order on 4 June 1917, having been previously twice mentioned in dispatches.

Fleming is buried at Templeux-le-Guérard British Cemetery, near the village of Templeux-le-Guérard. Fleming is commemorated on Panel 8 of the Parliamentary War Memorial in Westminster Hall, one of 22 MPs that died during World War I to be named on that memorial. Fleming is one of 19 MPs who fell in the war who are commemorated by heraldic shields in the Commons Chamber. A further act of commemoration came with the unveiling in 1932 of a manuscript-style illuminated book of remembrance for the House of Commons, which includes a short biographical account of the life and death of Fleming.

Fleming's obituary in The Times was written by Churchill.

Legacy
In 1914, shortly before leaving England to fight in France, Valentine signed a will that left Pitt House and his effects to his wife Evelyn, most of his estate was left in trust to benefit their four sons and their future families. His wife Evelyn would have a generous income from the trust unless she remarried, in which case she would receive a reduced amount of £3000 per annum. Evelyn never remarried and felt it was a "bad will".

1650 Monumental Inscription in the church at Clyst St. George. Will dated 6 March 1682-3 proved 1 August 1683 in Devon. Rated for a moiety of Court in Clyst St. George in 1650.

Among the title deeds of William Carnegie Barnes there is (1930) one of 1 October 1633 in which this George is described as 'George Gibbe of Pitt yeoman brother of John son of John Gibbs of Pitt'. And one of 20 April 1634 in which he is 'George Gibbes brother and heir of John Gibbe deceased late son of John Gibbe of Pitt yeoman'. In this last deed Philip, son of the last named John, is mentioned also. George was also 'party to deeds of 1666-7 concerning Pytt' (Gibbs Pedigree, 1904). He was assessed in 1650 to church rate for a moiety of Court Farm in Clyst St. George, fo which the other moiety had been held by William Gibbe of Claypitt, and after him by his nephew John Baker which facts Lord Hunsdon regarded as indicating that this George and William had a common ancestor and thereafter as evidence that George of Claypitt and John of Pytte were related; see 'Gibbs of Fenton', pp. 56 and 156. Court or Court Place, now Courtbrook, likes about half a mile northward of the church. George's great-grandson George Abraham Gibbs owned (by purchase) the whole of Court.

George was a Collector of the Poor, 1646; an 'Overseer', 1660 and 1671 (Clyst St. George 'Booke of Accomptes' - copied in Aldenham General Collections', Volume A, 397 in which also is the assessment of 1650 referred to above); Churchwarden, 1652-1659 (Clyst St. George Registers). His will mentions brother Robert, sons George, Abraham, Samuel, daughters Elizabeth Brinley and Sarah Goldsworthy, and sons of the latter (Henry and James). The Memorial Inscription to him and his wife, and their children Samuel and Anstice, is on the floor of the North aisle of the church.
