Everyone knows the tragic story of Robert Scott's last expedition (Terra Nova Expedition), the 1911 attempt to reach the South Pole. The penultimate entry in his journal, "It seems a pity but I do not think I can write any more", and the final scrawl, "For God's sake look after our people", have become the stuff of legend. However, few know of the journal kept by Scott's companion Bill Wilson. That is because it has never been published. What follows, then, are the first-ever published excerpts from Wilson's account of the Scott Expedition of 1911.

However, few know of the journal kept by Scott's companion Bill Wilson. That is because it has never been published. However, one Mrs. Figstickie of Leamington, great-granddaughter of Bill Wilson, found the journal in her basement and donated it to the Uncyclopedia Foundation.
