Shackleton's Lost And Forgotten Men by Stuart Mucklejohn
Ernest Shackleton was the leader Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition
(1914-1916) which aimed to cross the Antarctic from the Weddell Sea to the Ross Sea. This unsuccessful venture, which culminated in the famous voyage from Elephant Island to South Georgia in a small boat and thence to therescue of all the party who had set sail on Endurance, is described in numerous wonderfully written books. However, the full account of the men who courageously struggled to lay food and fuel depots from the Ross Sea towards to Pole for the trans-continental party has only recently come into the public domain. These men suffered enormous hardships in completing their task and had to wait until early 1917 to be rescued and returned safely to New Zealand.
