Description (What the record is about)
-
Very little manuscript material remains from Sir Wilfrid's long career in anatomy. All attempts to locate additional material in either departments or private hands have been unsuccessful.
The family papers (Items 10 - 15) deal with Sir Wilfrid's grandfather, Dr. Frederick Le Gros Clark, and with his brother, Cyril Le Gros Clark, Chief Secretary of Sarawak, who was killed in 1945.
