Lieutenant Henry Robertson (Birdie) Bowers (29 July 1883 – 29 March 1912) was one of Robert Falcon Scott's polar party on the ill-fated Terra Nova expedition (1910–1913) who all died during their return from the South Pole.
==Early life==
Bowers was born on 29 July 1883 in Greenock, of Scottish descent. After his father died in Rangoon his mother alone raised him from the age of three with his two older sisters. By January 1896 the family had moved to Streatham, in South London, and lived at 19 Pathfield Road where Mrs Bowers was still residing in 1899. Whilst living in Streatham Bowers attended Streatham High School for Boys in Pinfold Road in 1896-7. The building survives today as the Computer Centre behind Streatham Library on which a plaque was placed by The Streatham Society on 29 March 2012 to commemorate the centenary of his death. He went to sea first as a cadet in the merchant service, training on HMS ''Worcester'' and sailing around the world four times on the ''Loch Torridon''.〔Apsley Cherry-Garrard, ''The Worst Journey in the World'', Carroll & Graf Publishers, 1922, p. 213〕 He then enlisted in the Royal Indian Marine Service in 1905, appointed sub-lieutenant serving in Ceylon and Burma, and commanding a river gunboat on the Irrawaddy. He later served on HMS ''Fox'', preventing gun-running in the Persian Gulf.〔Apsley Cherry-Garrard, ''ibid'', p. 213〕
