Description
ABOUT: “I am just going outside and may be some time”. These were the last words of explorer Captain Lawrence Edward Grace “Titus” Oates as he left the tent on his 32nd birthday, 17th March 1912, leaving his three companions (Captain Scott, Dr Edward Wilson and Lieutenant Bowers). Oates left as his badly frostbitten feet were slowing the team down and he thought by sacrificing himself his team would be able to move faster and reach the next food depot. Scott wrote in his diary: “We knew that poor Oates was walking to his death, but though we tried to dissuade him, we knew it was the act of a brave man and an English gentleman”. This image is inspired by the original painting by JC Dollman (1913).
