TERRA NOVA EXPEDITION

Group portrait on deck of the Terra Nova of Evans with William Lashly and Tom Crean, who saved him on the return from the Beardmore Glacier, after parting from the Polar Party, gelatin silver print, 110 x 155mm., [1912]

Footnotes

A poignant memento for Lieutenant E.R.G.R. "Teddy" Evans, who with Leading Stoker William Lashly and P.O. Tom Crean had formed the last of the supporting teams to be sent back by Scott, as he commenced the final push for the South Pole. During the return journey Evans went down with scurvy, and tried to persuade Crean and Lashly to leave him behind. Instead they strapped him to a sledge and man-hauled him to within four or five days' march of Hut Point. From there Crean set out to collect help, while Lashly stayed to look after Evans. Evans' saviours were both awarded the Albert Medal.
