Published four months after the first edition. This is the first dedicated publication of Lashly's complete diary. Lashly was awarded the Albert Medal for rescuing 'Teddy' Evans; the harrowing story of their return is vividly portrayed in Cherry-Garrard's 'The Worst Journey in the World'. The UK edition is considerably scarcer than its American (Taplinger) counterpart, especially in the dustwrapper. Spence 686.
