In 1938 he moved with his mother and brothers to England, and was educated at the London School of Economics. In 1950 he joined the Department of Education, and in 1958 he was appointed Secretary of the newly created Independent Television Authority. After a period working at the European Commission, he founded the European Institute for Media (E.I.M.) in 1982. Consistent with his ideals, the E.I.M. was not merely a centre of academic research but a driver for the positive role of media in social change, particularly the democratisation of former communist countries in which Wedell was significantly involved. For his services in the fields of Education and the Media, Wedell was a elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and was created a Chevalier of the French Order of Arts and Letters, and a Commander of the Portuguese Order of Merit. He died on 23 February 2020, after a ‘lifelong commitment to communication, education, development, and international co-operation that has helped to fashion a world where the horrors of his childhood hopefully are less likely to recur.’

A rare Second War ‘Battle of Venraij, October 1944’ M.C. and ‘River Escaut, May 1940’ M.M. group of six awarded to Major Frederick Bell, 2nd Battalion, The Royal Warwickshire Regiment Military Cross, G.VI.R. reverse officially dated 1945; Military Medal, G.VI.R.

The recommendation for an Immediate M.C., dated 23 October 1944, states: ‘Maj BELL commanded “D” Coy in the opening and subsequent phases of the battle for VENRAIJ. The initial role of this Coy on the 16th Octoberwas to make a bridge-head across a dyke through which the assaulting Coys in the attack proper would pass. The attack to make the bridge-head was a particularly difficult one. There was a great deal of opposition both from small arms and DF Mortar fire, and the approaches to and exits from the obstacle was strewn freely with Schu Mines. Maj BELL, in spite of known previous losses through Schu Mines, personally led his Coy to and across the obstacle at great risk to himself. On the other side his Coy was engaged by a tank or SP from a nearby farm. Mj Bell, by his personal action in visiting his forward Pl under heavy fire, directed PIAT and other fire upon the farm building which caused the enemy to withdraw. By this time he had lost in casualties his Second-in-Command and all his Pl officers. From then onwards he personally led the Coy, forming up in rear of the assaulting Coy. At each stage of the attack he was to be found up with the leading Pl calmly organising and supervising a plan for attack or re-organisation on the objective, quite regardless of personal risk, which was great owing to continuous enemy mortar and shell fire. Finally, on the objective in BRABANDER - Northern outskitrs of VENRAIJ, he personally supervised the layout of the whole of his Coy down to sec posts. His devotion to duty, calmness, courage, determination and cheerfulness throughout the operation, lasting from 0400 hrs until dusk were an example to all and were infectious.’ M.M. London Gazette 20 August 1940. According to Personal Diary of Captain L. T. Tomes, 2nd Batt. The Royal Warwickshire Regiment, privately printed in 1946 (copy sold with Lot), Sergeant Bell was put up for the M.M. for the action at Hollain, River Escaut, on May 20th and 21st, 1940, and further good work later on up to the Battalion’s capitulation on the 28th May, 1940, in the action at Womhoudt, on the Dunkirk perimeter. Tomes was than a Lieutenant and Adjutant of the 2nd Battalion. He was taken prisoner of war and wrote the diary ‘immediately I arrived in a permanent camp, from what I remembered from the War Diary which I had been keeping’ (accompanying letter from the author refers). Major Frederick Bell is listed as having been wounded in May 1945. Sold with a comprehensive selection of documents, news cuttings, a 3rd British Infantry Divisional commendation card for the attack on Le Blois 13th August 1944, case of issue for M.C. and accompanying named enclosure with card box and Registered envelope addressed to Major Bell, M.C., M.M., Purley, Surrey, Certificate of Service until discharged to a commission on 17 December 1940, Officers’ Release Book, his Royal Warwicks side cap, and a silver tankard, hallmarked London 1945, inscribed below regimental crest ‘Major F.
