They hope to celebrate Captain Scotts conquest of the South Pole, but are forced by ice to return north before Scotts party returns. Returning to Antarctica in early 1913, they learn that Scotts party reached the Pole but died on the ice shelf.
“Strathie’s story of these remarkably talented adventurers is fascinating, as is the evidence that many of these men remained in touch during the war, although talk of the frozen continent gave way to their latest war adventuresHer book is well written, excellently illustrated … and recommended to all those who want to know more about Scott’s Antarctic survivors and their Great War Deeds.” -- Stephen Chambers * Gallipoli Magazine *
ANNE STRATHIE is an acclaimed polar historian and biographer. She has written three biographies of members of Captain Scott's Terra Nova Antarctic expedition, all published by The History Press.
