Summary

Part of a larger photograph taken at St Katharine's Dock, London, of members of the BAARE (British Arctic Air Route Expedition) which sailed in the 'Quest' in July 1930. These five were the first polar explorers to receive polar medals with both Arctic and Antarctic bars after the British Graham Land Expedition in 1937. From left: John Riddoch Rymill, A. Stephenson (Steve), W.E. Hampton (Ham), (Surgeon Lieutenant) E.W. Bingham (Doc), and Quintin Riley. [It is presumed that this cut-and-paste image was prepared, perhaps for newspaper publication, after they received their medals. Further scant details can be found in "The White Ribbon" by Neville Poulsom, 1968.]
