[quote:07ef2]In May 1998, Trigg's VC was sold at auction by Spinks of London for £120,000, the equal highest price ever realised for a VC, at that time. The seller was not believed to have been a relative of Trigg, and the buyer was anonymous.[/quote:07ef2]

wtf? the seller was not believed to be a relative? shouldnt the medal be given to the next of kin. Rather than be auctioned off?
