"He, probably more than Shackleton, contributed most to their survival."

"Chippy McNish was a hero, if one with feet of clay. He deserves recognition for creativity, brilliance, and unremitting hard work in the face of extreme peril."

"Chippy was the real hero of the Endurance."

"I think thathe was one of the people that saved the people and without McNish they could have died."

"Chippy McNish really deserves it he was the key for the rescue of the expedition menbers"

"The Shackleton Expedition wouldn't have survived without Chippy McNish."

"I was the wife of James McNish Deceased Who was Harry's Nephew. It would be nice to see this wrong righted and awarded his deserved medal."

"Long overdue recognition for an invaluable member of the expedition. This award would rectify an outstanding injustice."

"The inequity of this situation is another example of how the power elites control the lives of those under them. I urge you to award the medal."

"Our humanities class watched Shackleton, sure he's considered a leader, but I think that its unfair for Shackleton to deny "Chippy's" right to the Polar medal, he derseves it. Chippy Rules"

"proud to be related to the great man"

"his contrinution was vital to the successful voyage of the Caird."

"His good deeds should be recognized"

"Questioning authority? The very idea! Give the man a medal."

"I am duty bound to sign this petititon ... as chippy Mc Nish was my grans (Mary Gray ..nee McNish) uncle!"

"Typical - you question authority and are then seen as some sort of undesirable."
