Stenhouse, who commanded the Aurora after Mackintosh 
landed, was with Worsley as his second in command when one 
of the German submarines was rammed and sunk, and received 
the D.S.C. for his share in the fight. He w^as afterwards given 
command of a Mystery Ship, and fought several actions with 
enemy submarines. 
Clark served on a mine-sweeper. Greenstreet was employed 
with the barges on the Tigris. Rickenson was commissioned as 
Engineer-Lieutenant, R.N. Kerr returned to the Merchant 
Service as an engineer. 
Most of the crew of the Endurance served on mine- 
sweepers. 
Of the Ross Sea Party, Mackintosh, Hayward, and Spencer- 
Smith died for their country as surely as any who gave up their 
lives on the fields of France and Flanders. Hooke, the wireless 
operator, now navigates an airship. 
Nearly all of the crew of the Aurora joined the New Zealand 
Field Forces and saw active service in one or other of the many 
theatres of war. Several have been wounded, but it has been 
impossible to obtain details. 
On my return, after the rescue of the survivors of the Ross 
Sea Party, I offered my services to the Government, and was 
sent on a mission to South America. When this was concluded 
I was commissioned as Major and went to North Russia in 
charge of Arctic Equipment and Transport, having with me 
Worsley, Stenhouse, Hussey, Mackhn, and Brocklehurst, who 
was to have come South with us, but who, as a regular ofiicer, 
rejoined his unit on the outbreak of war. He has been wounded 
three times and was in the retreat from Mons. Worsley was 
sent across to the Archangel front, where he did excellent work, 
and the others served with me on the Murmansk front. The 
mobile columns there had exactly the same clothing, equip- 
ment, and sledging food as we had on the Expedition. No 
expense was spared to obtain the best of everything for them, 
and as a result not a single case of avoidable frost-bite was 
reported. 
Taking the Expedition as a unit, out of fifty-six men 
three died in the Antarctic, three were killed in action, and
