In December 2012 we produced a limited edition of William Lashly - a tribute, a fully referenced study of his life, to distribute to family, friends and Antarctic associations and set up the first William Lashly website and, later, a Facebook page.
In 2013, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Williams safe return on the Terra Nova we, published The Life and Advenures of William Lashly, a small, inexpensive biography with a foreword by Jeffrey Evans.
A small group of relatives of William Lashly and their friends gathered at Discovery Point, Dundee on August 3rd 2013 to share information and celebrate his life.
In 2019 The Captain Scott Scott Society based in Cardiff organised the fixing of a memorial plaque on William's Cardiff home.
