Description
Printed caption by"W.F.R." saying that the panel measured 27 by 16 by inches, it had been found in a shop in Exeter just before the war by Sir Drummond Chaplin, who had left it with W.F.R. while he went out as administrator of Rhodesia, Sir Clements Markham had been sent a photograph of it but had been prevented from seeing by his fatal accident [in 1916], and Markham had been inclined to think it was the work of "Dockyard Maties" rather than the ship's carpenter when in the Antarctic.
