Shackleton's equipment for Syren force

[rwburton]

I am researching the equipment Sir Ernest Shackleton assembled for the Imperial Tans-Antarctic (Endurance) Expedition 1914-17. This includes clothing, tents sledges and rations. He was later Commissioned Major in the Special List to equip Syren Force for Arctic Warfare.

Any information about Syren Force's equipment or suggestions of where to search will be welcomed. (I have found 2 pairs of "Shackleton boots" in the Northampton Museum).
