Honouring the men of the Terra Nova

[born2trot]

Could I through this forum give a mention to the brave men of Scott's 1912 Antartic Expedition who reached the south pole 100 years ago today but sadly lost their lives on the return journey.

To the memory of Edgar ' Taff ' Evans , Lawrence 'Titus' Oates, Edward Wilson, Henry 'Birdie' Bowers and the leader Robert Falcon Scott.

Absolutely, a true hero and a product of his time. If nothing else, his middle name was Falcon. What a name.

RIP chaps.

Amazing leader, highly courageous. Just think about what he did with his men, puts most of our (my) dramas into perspective!
