Old pictures and stories from Wilkes Station

My Grandfather was one of the original members (Navy SeaBee) of the expedition at Wilkes Station. I can recall several of his stories including one about a fire. For instance he is the one who suggested and added the canvas covered walk ways that you see in one of the photos on this web page. My aunt has a few pictures that my Grandfather brought back, including a personnel picture and roster.

You could scan and upload the photos using the Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard. They would be a great addition to this article. Wilkes Station (may) be of great interest in the years to come because of global warming. AWHS (talk) 09:54, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
