Lawrence Oates
Captain Lawrence Edward Grace "Titus" Oates (17 March 188017 March 1912) was an English cavalry officer with the 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons, and later an Antarctic explorer, who died during the Terra Nova Expedition. Oates, afflicted with gangrene and frostbite, walked from his tent into a blizzard. His death is seen as an act of self-sacrifice when, aware that his ill health was compromising his three companions' chances of survival, he chose certain death.〔
==Early life==
Oates was born in Putney, London, England in 1880, the son of William and Caroline Oates. His family was wealthy and ancient, having had land at Gestingthorpe, Essex, for centuries. His father moved the family there when his children were small after succeeding to the Manor of Over Hall, Gestingthorpe.〔Article by Andrew Robinson in Eton College News and Events Lent 2012〕 He had one sister, a year older than himself, named Lillian, who married the Irish baritone and actor Frederick Ranalow.〔(Roll of Honour: Charterhouse School )〕 His uncle was the naturalist and African explorer Frank Oates. Oates lived in Putney from 1885–91, from the ages of 5 to 11 at 263 Upper Richmond Road. He was one of the first pupils to attend the prep Willington School around the corner in Colinette Road. He was further educated at Eton College which he left after less than two years owing to ill health.〔 He then attended an army "crammer" school, South Lynn School, Eastbourne.〔''The Times'' ''Correspondence relating to Henry van Esse Scott, founder of South Lynn'' July 1927〕 His father died of typhoid fever in Madeira in 1896 when Oates was aged 16.
