Personnel of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition
The Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition was an attempt to cross the Antarctic continent led by Ernest Shackleton. The personnel were divided into two groups: the Weddell Sea party which consisting of the men who would attempt the crossing and their support, and the Ross Sea party whose job it was to lay stores on the far side of the Pole for the members of the Weddell Sea party who would make the crossing. Both arms of the expedition had a final complement of 28 men. The Weddell Sea party's ship ''Endurance'' was crushed in pack ice and the crossing attempt was never made. All the Weddell Sea party were rescued, but several members of the Ross Sea party perished after their support ship ''Aurora'' broke free from its mooring and drifted, leaving the shore party stranded.
Names and dates of birth are included where known. After ''Endurance'' was lost, the Weddell Sea party spent some months camped on the ice before making for Elephant Island in the three lifeboats salvaged from the vessel, the ''James Caird'', the ''Dudley Docker'' and the ''Stancomb Wills''. The boat each man was assigned to for the crossing is listed.
Some of the original crew left the expedition to sign up when war was declared with Germany,〔Among these were Douglas George Jeffrey, who later joined Shackleton's final expedition; Courtney Brocklehurst and F. Dobbs who would have been in charge of the dog sections; and V. Studd, the original geologist.〕 and others returned to England after the ship put in at Buenos Aires.
