Default Antarctic Sledge Dog Memorial

At long last the Antarctic sledge dog memorial has been unveiled at BAS headquarters at Cambridge. Congratulations to Hwfa Jones & Graham (Genghis) Wright for their sterling efforts in bringing this project to fruition and many thanks to all who have contributed toward the cost of the memorial.

Thanks also to the 1200+ huskies who gave so much hard work and companionship (not to mention some frustration) to the many FIDS who worked with them from 1945 through to 1994 when the dogs were removed from Antarctica.
