It was named among the top ten Medal-winners at the 70th anniversary celebration in 2007.

(en) ロバート・ウェストール（Robert Atkinson Westall、1929年10月7日 - 1993年4月15日）は、イギリスの作家、教師、ジャーナリスト。児童文学で有名だが、ノンフィクションや大人向けの小説も書いていた。彼の小説の多くは複雑で暗い、大人のテーマを扱った十代向けのものであった。彼は"the dean of British war novelists"（イギリスの戦争小説家たちのさきがけ）と言われている。処女作『"機関銃要塞"の少年たち（The Machine Gunners）』は1975年に図書館協会からカーネギー賞を受賞し、その年の傑出した児童文学として知られている。2007年の70周年祭で、受賞作品のトップテンの一つに、一般人の人気投票を収集した選考委員から選ばれた。ウェストールは二度のカーネギー賞とネスレスマーティーズブック賞、一度のガーディアン賞を受賞した。 (ja) Robert Atkinson Westall (North Shields, 7 ottobre 1929 – , 15 aprile 1993) è stato uno scrittore inglese autore di numerosi romanzi per ragazzi.
