Through the kindness of Robert Stephenson, coordinator of the website The Antarctic Circle', and polar book author Angie Butler, I have been corresponding and speaking with the family of Commander John Robert Frances 'Frank' Wild, CBE, RNVR, FRGS (1873-1939). After Frank Wild's widow died in 1970, his British War Medal and Victory Medal (LIEUT. F. WILD, R.N.V.R.), geographical society medals, British National Antarctic Expedition Sports Medal (FRANK WILD), and a dress miniature Polar Medal with clasps Antarctic 1902-04 and Antarctic 1907-09, along with a quantity of original documentation, were sold at Sotheby's in June 1971. They were last sold at Dix Noonan Webb on 13 December 2007, and are now part of a London physician's collection.
