EVEREST EXPEDITION 1924, cinderella stamp fixed on letterhead paper, Torkington Park, Arundel (1925), hand signed by Victor A. Haddick. Some foxing to mint stamp, fine.
Lieut-Colonel Victor Anderson Haddick (1886-1950) (Leinster Regiment) joined the regiment in 1908. He was wounded in France and was sent for a spell of 'light duties' at the landing in Gallipoli with the Australians in 1915 where he was also wounded. He later invented a cooker used by troops travelling by train in India. The Haddick cooker was still being used in the East until quite recently. In 1924 he was a member of the ill-fated Everest Expedition where two of the members (George Mallory and Andrew 'Sandy' Irvine) vanished high on the north-east ridge. In WWII Colonel Haddick commanded the Army Mobile Information Unit until his retirement in April 1950. He died soon after.
