1 4 y separately published work icon Body at the Melbourne Club : Bertram Armytage, Antarctica's Forgotten Man David Burke , Kent Town : Wakefield Press , 2009 Z1577914 2009 single work biography 'Bertram Armytage, son of a wealthy squatter, a popular sportsman who rowed for Cambridge, was the first Australian-born member of an Antarctic expedition. An expert horseman, he was given charge of the ponies in Ernest Shackleton's great 1907-1909 expedition, narrowly escaping the jaws of killer whales. In London he was decorated by royalty, but on coming home to Australia he went to his part-time city residence, the exclusive Melbourne Club, put on his dinner suit and polar medals and, at the age of 41, shot himself. This mystery-cum-biography provides a new perspective on one of Shackleton's greatest expeditions.' (Publisher's blurb)
