 In 1880 , when Ernest was six , Henry Shackleton gave up his life as a landowner to study medicine at Trinity College , Dublin , moving his family into the city . Four years later , the family moved again , from Ireland to Sydenham in suburban London . Partly this was in search of better professional prospects for the newly qualified doctor , but another factor may have been unease about their Anglo @-@ Irish ancestry , following the assassination by Irish nationalists of Lord Frederick Cavendish , the British Secretary for Ireland , in 1882 .

 In the period immediately after his return , Shackleton engaged in a strenuous schedule of public appearances , lectures and social engagements . He then sought to cash in on his celebrity by making a fortune in the business world . Among the ventures which he hoped to promote were a tobacco company , a scheme for selling to collectors postage stamps overprinted " King Edward VII Land " ( based on Shackleton 's appointment as Antarctic postmaster by the New Zealand authorities ) , and the development of a Hungarian mining concession he had acquired near the city of Nagybanya , now part of Romania . None of these enterprises prospered , and his main source of income was his earnings from lecture tours . He still harboured thoughts of returning south , even though in September 1910 , having recently moved with his family to Sheringham in Norfolk , he wrote to Emily : " I am never again going South and I have thought it all out and my place is at home now " . He had been in discussions with Douglas Mawson about a scientific expedition to the Antarctic coast between Cape Adare and Gaussberg , and had written to the RGS about this in February 1910 .

 When Shackleton returned to England in May 1917 , Europe was in the midst of the First World War . Suffering from a heart condition , made worse by the fatigue of his arduous journeys , and too old to be conscripted , he nevertheless volunteered for the army . Repeatedly requesting posting to the front in France , he was by now drinking heavily . In October 1917 , he was sent to Buenos Aires to boost British propaganda in South America . Unqualified as a diplomat , he was unsuccessful in persuading Argentina and Chile to enter the war on the Allied side . He returned home in April 1918 . On 22 July 1918 , he received a temporary army commission in the rank of major .

 His practice of dividing his time between Britain and America caused Wodehouse difficulties with the tax authorities of both countries . Both the UK Inland Revenue and the US Internal Revenue Service sought to tax him as a resident . After lengthy negotiations the matter was settled , but the Wodehouses decided to change their residential status beyond doubt by moving to France , where they bought a house near Le Touquet in northern France .

 Shackleton died of a heart attack on 5 January 1922 , while Quest was anchored at South Georgia . After his death the original programme , which had included an exploration of Enderby Land , was abandoned . Wild led a brief cruise which brought them into sight of Elephant Island . They anchored off Cape Wild , and were able to see the old landmarks , but sea conditions made it impossible for them to land .
