Read that Shackelton furnished Burberry stuff to the crew.

Some said they planned to not wear them and sell them when

they soon returned to England.Best laid plans and all that.

My daddy fought along side Brits in ww2 and said all the

ones he met were atheists.

I didn't know the cold weather gear was Burberry.

The documentary I saw said that the crew did sell the gear before they left, and when they got stuck, they were SOL.
