Tonight Angie Butler was awarded a medal for her work in restoring Frank Wild to the pantheon of polar greats – and to return him to his rightful final resting place next to The Boss. The medal was designed for Dr Mike Wain, a collector of polar medals including Frank Wild’s by Angie’s husband. It was a strikingly beautiful medal with a portrait of Wild on one side and a map of South Georgia with a cross to indicate where he’s buried, on the other. She was completely overcome with the thought that had gone into creating the silver medal. We were pleased to recognise the significance of what she’s achieved.
