Massive respect

Have you read Captain Scott's last letter to his wife? The one addressed, because he knew he would never make it, to "my widow"? I cannot imagine what it must have taken to write like that - I can only hope that, in similar circumstances I would have had the fortitude and courage to behave that way - but I doubt it. Here was a genuine British hero. They were all genuine British heroes. I hope, if there is any life after this, they have received their just rewards.
