Ernest Joyce 1875-1940

Here's the problem - I can't actually provide proper visitor information about this Ernest Joyce memorial because the details simply aren't available. Without knowing what form this historic site takes, where exactly it sits in or around Bognor Regis, or whether it's even accessible to the public, any description would be pure guesswork.

What I can tell you is that Ernest Joyce was a Royal Navy petty officer who served on both Scott's Discovery expedition and Shackleton's Endurance expedition to Antarctica. The man was proper tough - he walked 750 miles across the Ross Ice Shelf during the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. If there's a memorial to him near Bognor Regis, it would certainly honour a genuine British hero.

The location puts it well within reach if you're staying at Butlins Bognor Regis or any of the nearby caravan parks like Rowan Park. But until someone provides actual details about what this site involves - is it a plaque, a statue, a grave? - I'd suggest checking with Bognor Regis tourist information before making a special trip. It might be worth combining with a general explore of the town, but don't bank your whole day on it without knowing more.
