Victor Styles tells the story of his grandmother, Annie Pimm, daughter of William Pimm, shooter on the British team of 1908. During the London Olympics, she was courted by von Holst, who asked her to marry him. In stead, in 1911, she married William Styles, also on the British team. When Pimm and Styles went to Stockholm in 1912, some words were exchanged with von Holst about this.
Victor found the following photo of von Holst, obviously dedicated to Annie:
