Reminiscences of the Terra Nova in the Antarctic

Wilfred Bruce served as a Lieutenant R.N.R. on the Terra Nova as a member of Robert Falcon Scott’s British Antarctic Expedition (1910–13) on both of the southern voyages. Bruce was Scott’s brother-in-law as his sister Kathleen was married to Scott. In this uncommon account he describes his early association with the expedition helping to procure dogs and ponies as well as the two voyages of the Terra Nova to the Antarctic. He provides a poignant account of learning the fate of Scott and his companions nearly a year after their passing. Originally published in Blue Peter in 1932.
