MEMORIAL CEREMONY IN THE ANTARCTIC.—A plaque in memory of Mr Jeremy Sykes, a National Film Unit director, who was killed in a helicopter crash in the Antarctic last November, was unveiled at Scott Base last Wednesday. This photograph, taken just before the unveiling, shows, from left, Mr R. B. Willis, leader at Scott Base for the last year; Mr R. B. Thomson, superintendent of the Antarctic Division of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research; the Rev. W. G. Dando, chaplain; and Mr B. Porter, the new leader at Scott Base. The memorial plaque to Mr Sykes is mounted on a piece of pine timber from a sledge used in one of Captain Scott’s expeditions. It is placed beneath a similar plaque in memory of Lieutenant T.
