Further Discussion of Turney's paper concerning Evans

Post date: Mar 24, 2019 9:48:12 PM

The article Why didn’t they ask Evans? by Professor Chris Turney was first published in Polar Record in September 2017. It claimed that Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s second-in-command, Lieutenant Edward ‘Teddy’ Evans, contributed to a shortage of food for the returning polar party at key depots and that he failed to pass on a vital order from Scott for the dog teams to come out and meet the returning polar party.

Bill Alp published a commentary on this paper to which Chris Turney has replied. Bill's response to this reply takes the form of a carefully researched paper which can be read at the Tom Crean website.
