Glenn has done a lot of interesting history re-search and introduced us to Sir Hubert Wilkins—B 1888, D 1958. Sir Hubert was one of 13 children, growing up on a farm in rural South Australia, He went on to study Engineering and Photography. Going on to make newsreels and after moving to London he became a war photographer during WW1. He was awarded the Military Cross with Bar. Working in the trenches with troops, he was wounded on 9 occasions.
His interest in exploration saw his participate in a submarine venture in 1931, hoping to explore the North Pole via travel under ice travel.
During WW2 Sir Hubert served as an Intelligence Officer for US and Australian Military, working behind enemy lines.
On his passing in 1958 his ashes were spread in the North Pole by a US submarine, fulfilling his exploration ambitions for under ice travel.
