Cloth. Condition: Very Good ++. First Edition. 1st Edition 1955. 1st state with Shoot. From the library and with the bookplate of Sir Philip Brocklehurst, Bt. (1887-1975, soldier, polar explorer and member of Ernest Shackleton's Antarctic's Nimrod Expedition of 1907-09, He was born at Swythamley Park, Staffordshire, in 1887. His grandfather John Brocklehurst had a silk weaving business in Macclesfield and was a Member of Parliament; his father Philip Lancaster Brocklehurst was created a baronet in 1903. Philip Lee succeeded to the title, as "2nd Baronet Brocklehurst, of Swythamley Park, Leek, Staffordshire", on 10 May 1904. In 1904 he joined the Territorial Army in the Derbyshire Yeomanry, where he was later promoted to major in March 1916 and colonel in 1924. Brocklehurst was educated at Eton College and Trinity Hall, Cambridge. He represented Cambridge University at boxing against Oxford University, and obtained a half blue. Ernest Shackleton, looking for members of his proposed expedition to Antarctica, met Brocklehurst in London in 1906, and was impressed by his boxing achievements. Brocklehurst offered to contribute to the expedition funds. The appointment was confirmed in May 1907; he was Assistant Geologist. He travelled independently to New Zealand, where he joined the other members of the expedition on the Nimrod. After a base was established in Antarctica at Cape Royds in February 1908, he was one of a party which climbed the volcano Mount Erebus (unclimbed until then). The party of Edgeworth David, Douglas Mawson, Alistair Mackay, Eric Marshall, Brocklehurst and Jameson Adams started on 5 March. Brocklehurst suffered from frostbitten feet, and was unable to complete the climb; the others reached the summit on 10 March. Afterwards, a big toe had to be amputated because of frostbite. He was not chosen for the polar party, but was part of the support party which accompanied them for part of the way. The four-man polar party, intending to reach the South Pole, eventually reached a Farthest South latitude of 88° 23' S, 97.5 nautical miles (180.6 km; 112.2 mi) from the pole. Brocklehurst, as a member of the shore party of the expedition, was awarded the Silver Polar Medal in 1909. On 9 July 1913 Brocklehurst married Gwladys Murray, daughter of Colonel Charles Edward Gostling Murray. He planned to join Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition in 1914. However he gained a commission in the 1st Regiment of Life Guards, and he sailed to Flanders in October 1914. He was shot in the left shoulder after 11 days in Belgium, and after recuperating in London he returned in February 1915. In 1918 he transferred to the 9th Sudanese Battalion of the Egyptian Army, where he served for two years. During the 1930s, Brocklehurst and his wife, and an estate employee, travelled in a car across the Sahara Desert. In the Second World War, he commanded the 2nd regiment of the Mechanised Brigade of the Arab Legion and later joined the British Council for Palestine-Transjordan. Book is very good++ and bright.
