'Captain Moyes took part in the Australian Antarctic Expedition 1911-1914 under the leadership of Dr Douglas Mawson; the Shackleton Relief Expedition 1916-1917 under the leadership of Captain John King Davis; and the British, Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) 1929-1930 again under the leadership of Sir Douglas Mawson. His Antarctic recollections, recounted in his own words, in a wry and readable style, reveal a man of courage, of humility, of humour, and of determination; an intensely loyal man who never lost his fascination for living and working on the vast Antarctic continent.'
