Sir Raymond Priestley and the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey 1955-1958

Sir Raymond Priestley served with Shackleton (1907-1909) and Scott (1910-1913), then after the First World War had a distinguished career in university administration. During retirement he spent three years in charge of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (later the British Antarctic Survey). This note seeks to remove an unsubstantiated blemish from that otherwise exemplary record.
