Fleming and Churchill (Karsh, 1941)
The story that Alexander Fleming (or Alex and his father Hugh) twice saved Churchill’s life, charming as it may be, is certainly fiction. This persistent Churchill legend dates back to World War II. It is still found today on otherwise serious websites, despite abundant evidence against it. We are frequently asked about it, but explanations currently on the web are incomplete or inaccurate. Here for the record is the full story. Let us begin with the latest Internet version.
The Fleming Myth
His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.
The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman’s sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved. “I want to repay you,” said the nobleman. “You saved my son’s life.”
