William Alfred Hughes's Silver RHS Medal 1929

In 1987 Hughes made contact with Roy Watling at RBGE and donated his medal - both men had been office bearers for the Botanical Society of Scotland. The medal, and eventually the certificate and all associated correspondence came to the care of M.V. Mathew in the library who placed them in the Archives.

Hughes worked on Plasmodiophora brassicae / Clubroot disease at the College of Agriculture (East Coast). He was Treasurer of the Botanical Society of Scotland from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s.
