“I am sorry to trouble you chaps.”

Ian Lancaster Fleming’s last words.
Ian Lancaster Fleming was born in London-England on 28. May.1908 and died on 12. Aug.1964 in Kent and Canterbury Hospital.
His father Valentine Fleming might have been on his missions behind enemy lines and bequeathed this voluptuousness, one of his sons the one here mentioned, “Ian Lancaster”.
In 1914 he wrote to one of his close friends, Winston Churchill:
“Imagine a broad belt of land, ten miles or so in width, stretching from the Channel to the German frontier near Basile, 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.”
What would he have meant hereby before he was killed in WWI’s shellfire at Gillement Farm near Ephey-Somme, France?
The message would have been: In a broad belt of land there would stand a spy, an agent, the birth of “Bond, James Bond”?
“James Bond 007”, as we know now, has become a family business.
One of its earliest television adaptation of “Casino Royal”, in 1954 was with Barry Nelson as, “James, Jimmy, Bond” and “Peter Lorre” (Laszlo Löwenstein) as “Le Chiffre”.
