Captain Oates: Soldier & Explorer (Soft Back) - RDG Museum

This excellent biography of Capt. Lawrence Edward Grace Oates covers, in rich and illuminating detail, all aspects of his sadly foreshortened life. From his early years as a slightly sickly child in Yorkshire, to his experiences of action in the Boer War, to the Antarctic expedition in which he met his end, Oates' life is mapped and traced by two authors, Sue Limb and General Patrick Cordingley. Aided by contributions from surviving members of Scott's Polar Expedition, along with a wide selection of photographs, they provide a vivid insight into the life and character of this renowned hero, whose death became a byword for self-sacrifice.
