Mary_&_Dan_at_Evans-sm - While Shackelton never lost a man under his command, three people died who were on the Ross Sea Party. That is the party that was laying the depots to support Shackelton after he made it to the South Pole.  Three men died, one died of scurvy during the sledging journey to lay the depots, and two died at the end of the sledging journal as they tried to make it back to Cape Evans before the ice was solid.  It is 15 miles from Discovery hut to Cape Evans and they tried to get across the ice when the wind came up and they were never heard from again.  This cross at Cape Evans was erected in their memory.
