Zermatt, his guide on all occasions was Johan Anderegg (with a notice by Tony Astill,, laid in).This highly detailed and historically significant map, created for the Alpine Club, was one of the earliest comprehensive topographical maps of the Swiss Alps to use modern surveying and mapping techniques, with a multilingual legend in English, French, German, and Italian. Source ,The Times’, Thursday, May 05, 1938: Mr. Henry George Willink, who took a prominent part for many years in the public life of Berkshire, died at Hillfields, Burghfield. on April 30, at the age of 86.
