VallentinJohn MaximilianBrevet MajorHe was killed in action at Onverwacht, Ermelo District, on January 4th, 1902. He was the son of Sir J Vallentin, was born in February 1865, and educated at Haileybury. He entered the Somersetshire Light Infantry February 1885, was promoted Captain June 1892, and brevet Major November 1900. In August 1888, he married Helen Mary, daughter of Colonel Carnegy. He served in the Burmese Expedition of 1886-87 with the 2nd battalion of his regiment, and received the medal with clasp. He graduated at the Staff College in 1897, and before the outbreak of the war in South Africa was brigade Major at Ladysmith, Natal. On the re-distribution of the brigades of the Natal Field Force, after the arrival of Sir George White, Major Vallentin was appointed brigade Major to Lieutenant General Sir lan Hamilton. At the battle of Elandslaagte, Major Vallentin behaved with conspicuous gallantry in rallying the flank attack during the most critical phase of the assault. He served throughout the siege of Ladysmith until January when he had a severe attack of enteric. When convalescent, he elected to return to his chief, Sir Ian Hamilton, and joined him at Bloemfontein just after his appointment to the command of a division. After the occupation of Heidelberg, Major Vallentin was appointed Commissioner of that town. In the autumn of 1900, while holding this position, he was sent out with one of Field Marshal Earl Roberts' Proclamations to a commando in his neighbourhood, and lived with the Boers for a week as their guest while the object of his visit was under discussion. He then returned to military duty, and saw much service during 1901. He met his death while pursuing with about fifty men some Boers under Oppermann and Christian Botha, who were several hundreds strong; his party suffered severely, but Oppermann was killed. Major Vallentin was mentioned in despatches by General Sir George White on December 2nd, 1899, from Ladysmith, and again in the despatch of March 23rd, 1900, LG, February 8th, 1901; also in the despatches of General Lord Kitchener, July 28th, 1901, and of August 8th, 1901, this latter making the fourth occasion on which he was mentioned during the Boer War. He was awarded a brevet Majority for his services.
