Frank Willan (8 February 1846 – 22 March 1931) was an English rower and Militia officer who rowed for Oxford in four winning Boat Race crews and umpired the race between 1889 and 1902. He was also a yachtsman and one of the founders of the Royal Yachting Association, an alderman, a Deputy Lieutenant for Hampshire, an early motorist, and a military historian. During the First World War, when aged nearly seventy, he drove military lorries on the Western Front in France. ==Early life== Willan was the only son of John James Willan (1799–1869) and his wife Jane Onslow,〔John Bernard Burke, '' A genealogical and heraldic dictionary of the peerage and baronetage'' (1852), (p. 759 ) online〕〔'Willan, Colonel Frank (born 8 February 1846, died 22 March 1931)', in ''Who Was Who 1929–1940'' (London: A. & C.
