Chippy McNish Polar Medal Campaign

"Probably one of the most famous Sons to come from Port Glasgow. Should have been recognised long time ago. But then again, look at the nick of our council, only think about themselves."

"He should get a medal for having the name Chippy."

"A braver man than there never was - Judge the evidence that's all I would kindly ask"

"Deserved it more than some who received it"

"About Time he was honoured"

"A clear injustice was perpetrated against this man. His contribution to the survival of the expedition members was immeasurable."

"Chippy was an extraordinary carpenter and invaluable to the Endurance crew. His medal is well deserved and long overdue!"

"В"

"YES! This was unfair."

"This man deserved the medal as much as anyone else"

"time does not cancel the truth"

"he's waited too long"

"anyone who went through what the crew of the "Endurance" did deserves ALL recognition. The story of Shackletons expedition should be a compulsory part of every childs education, such dauntless heroism is so rarely (indeed never) seen these days."

"He was integeral to the safety of the 'James Caird' and to the successfull rescue of this expedition team. He should now be recognized for his bravery in full."

"He may well have been a difficult man but they all owed their lives to him. I shall make a point of visiting his grave, Mrs.Chippy and all."
