Antarctica: British Antarctic Expedition 1910-13: Six page autograph letter to his mother dated July 19 1907 written and signed by Lt. Henry Robertson ‘Birdie’ Bowers, who perished with Scott in their tent on their return from the South Pole. This lengthy and informative letter was written whilst on duty on board the RIMS gunboat “Bhamo”. The only member of the Scott expedition without polar experience, Bowers had enlisted in the Royal Indian Marine Service in 1905 and in June 1907 was given temporary command of the “Bhamo”. A very scarce item, most Bowers letters being now held in archives. Photo. (Image1)
