Description: | A photograph of Sir Ernest Shackleton in military uniform. This presumably dates from the short period, July 1918 to March 1919, when Shackleton held a major's commission in the British army. One of several objects relating to Shackleton given to the Horniman by one of his sisters in 1938, recorded in the register for that year. Correspondence in the archives (ARC/HMG/CM/007/A/COLBECKW/003-026, 030, 032-033 and 035-037) shows that the photograph was deaccessioned in September 1956, when it was transferred to the Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI) in Cambridge (it was finally collected in December that year). On arrival at the SPRI it was found to be mildewed, and disposed of. | Publisher: | http://www.horniman.ac.uk/ | Subjects: | photographs (documentary artefact) Shackleton Sir Ernest Henry First World War photography | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | oai:oai.horniman.ac.uk:object-73242 |
