Talk:Valentine Vivian

The details on Valentine Vivian are erroneous. The correct Valentine Patrick Terril Vivian (a Lieutenant Colonel) is confused with Colonel Valentine Vivian.

The former served with MI6; the latter didn't and his birth date is 1880 and death date is 1948; the real Valentine Vivian was born in 1886 and died in 1969. His details are listed in the Obituaries from the Times 1961 - 1970 p.80 -- User:Dioclesian

Are any of the other details incorrect? I have little access to reliable source information. I'd appreciate it if you could edit the article itself to make corrections - be bold! - and add anything you've got. Perhaps you could start a stub for Lt Col Valentine P.T. Vivian if it's warranted, as well. Also - what's the connection between Simla and the Dept of Criminal Intelligence? Thanks! -- Epimetreus 20:19, 22 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

I have quite a bit of information to add so being a 'newbie' I'm just getting the hang of editing articles etc..but will get there! Dioclesian (talk) 01:16, 18 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

The post-nominals MVO and DSO are incorrect and from the blacklisted site Statemaster; these are not in Valentine Gazette entries nor the Who Was Who 1961 - 1979 Dioclesian (talk) 14:40, 21 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Valentine Vivian went to St Paul's School, London. Viscount Montgomery was also a former student at that school. Include a reference in Valentine's bio. Also List of Old Paulines. Dioclesian (talk) 16:55, 30 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
