“Dear Inch, must I leave you. I have promises to keep, perhaps miles to go to my last sleep” Could've been written for Tom Crean #justsayin #InchBeach

The 'burly sailor', who held Scott's son Peter in his arms after he boarded Terra Nova with his mother, Captain Scott's widow, turned away, his eyes filled with tears, as the young child asked "Where's my daddy?" As tough as Tom Crean was, he was a gentle giant unafraid to express his emotions.

Over the course of three pioneering expeditions to Antarctica, Tom Crean was either singularly or jointly responsible for saving the lives of 30 of his colleagues over 5 separate events. #TomCrean
