This booklet was rushed out when the news of the death of Scott and the polar party reached England. It includes the famous message which has the lines ‘ Had we lived, I should have a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance, and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman’ and a short account of each of the men who died; although Petty Officer Evans was omitted. The class system was very much alive at the time!
