In addition to the David Gibson Fleming material that I intend to donate, I have discovered a few WW1-period photos of his brother Guy Roberton Fleming, plus some related bits and pieces, all linked to his service with the Royal Field Artillery.

In my earlier post I should have specified Michael Fleming and not Peter Fleming. Sorry for the mistake.

I am in the process pf clearing the decks prior to moving house and I came across a large envelope  containing a collection of papers, photos and correspondence attributed to David Gibson Fleming MC, 2nd Bn Gordon Highlanders.  I decided to look into the history of this gallant officer and via Google I came across some posts on RootsChats enquiring about DGF's family - one of them from Peter Fleming who I believe is DGF's grandson. I hope a way can be found for returning this small but emotive archive to the family. Almost all of it concerns DGF's services during WW1, but there are also some fascinating bits and pieces deriving from his time in Mexico immediately prior to the outbreak of war.
