Two parties were involved in the search for Captain Robert F. Scott and the Polar Party, under the overall command of Dr Edward Atkinson (Lt-Surgeon RN). There was an eight-man mule party of Charles Wright (Physicist), Tryggve Gran (ski instructor), Edward Nelson (biologist), Tom Crean (P.O. RN), Frederick Hooper (steward, late RN), Thomas Williamson (P.O. RN , Patrick Keohane (P.O. RN), and Bill Lashly (Chief Stoker RN), under the command of Wright. They were joined by a dog party of Atkinson, Apsley Cherry-Garrard (Assistant Zoologist), and Dmitri Gerof (dog handler), under the command of Atkinson. The tent containing the bodies of Scott, Henry Bowers (Lt, RIM), and Dr Edward Wilson were found on 12 November 1912.
