Wollaston joined the 1921 Mount Everest Reconnaissance Expedition as medical officer. Chapter 8 of the present work prints extracts from his journal of the expedition. Other chapters offer material relating to Wollaston's 1905 ascent of Ruwenzori, travels in Colombia, New Guinea and Lapland, and to the Great War. Wollaston died in 1930, murdered by a Cambridge student. His son, Nicholas, who has signed this copy, in 2003 published his book My Father, Sandy.
