William Lashly (1867 - 1940) was a man of great modesty, self-effacing and by all accounts one of the most remarkable lower-deck men of the Royal Navy. Lashly was recruited by Scott for the Engine Room and proved his worth over and over again. He knew his job backwards, was a teetotaller and non-smoker and was always selected for the most difficult journeys on the expedition. This is the diary Lashly kept while on Scott's last expedition in the Terra Nova and gives a new view of both the expeditions and life below-decks. Illustrated with black and white photographs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Lashly
