  • In Memoriam 115
    IN MEMORIAM 115 • IN MEMORIAM CLAUDE WILSON 1860-1937 THE death of Claude Wilson within a few weeks of attaining his seventy-seventh birthday came as a terrible shock to his many friends. Few of us even knew that he was ill, but in the manner of his passing none can regret that there was no lingering illness. We can but quote his own words in Lord Conway's obituary: 'the best we can wish for those that we love is that they may be spared prolonged and hopeless ill health.' His brain remained clear up to the last twenty-four hours and he suffered no pain. The end occurred on October 31. With Claude Wilson's death an epoch of mountaineering comes to an end. He was of those who made guideless and Alpine history from Montenvers in the early 'nineties, of whom but Collie, Kesteven, Bradby, ~olly and Charles Pasteur still survive. That school, in which Mummery and Morse were perhaps the most prominent examples, was not composed of specialists. Its members had learnt their craft under the best Valais and Oberland guides; they were equally-proficient on rocks or on snow. It mattered little who was acting as leader in the ascent or last man in the descent. They were prepared to turn back if conditions or weather proved unfavourable. They took chances as all mountaineers are forced to do at times­ but no fatal accidents, no unfortunate incidents, marred that great page of Alpine history, a page not confined to Mont Blanc alone but distributed throughout the Western Alps.

At the base of the tectonite has a distinct chemical and stable isotope signature, which suggests Verrucano in the hanging wall of the thrust, sodium was largely removed dur- that it is largely derived from Infrahelvetic slices, i.e. decapitated fragments of ing an early stage of fluid-rock interaction, which is ascribed to thrust-paral- the footwall limestone from the southern sections of the thrust, which were lel fluid flow in a damage zone immediately above the thrust. This alteration tectonically emplaced along the thrust further north. Only at the Lochseiten leads to the formation of white mica at the expense of albite-rich plagioclase type locality the original chemical and stable isotope signatures of the calc- and potassium feldspar. This probably enhanced mechanical weakening of the tectonite were completely obliterated during intense reworking by dissolution Verrucano base allowing for progressive strain localization. At a later stage and re-precipitation. of thrusting, fluid-mediated chemical exchange between the footwall and the hanging wall lithologies produced a second generation of alteration phenom- ena. Reduction of ferric iron oxides at the base of the Verrucano indicates DEDICATION fluid supply from the underlying flysch units in the northern section of the thrust.
