Today's Elephants are the 25 - 28 year olds (in 1845) among the ABs on Terror and Erebus.
William Closson (whose name was spelled with the 'long s' in the muster books like this: Cloſson) is a 25 year old from Erebus.
This is John Hartnell (I posted him before as he's one of the men buried on Beachy Island) - he was on Erebus and was 25 years old.
John Morfin, was 25 and on Erebus (the real man was 25, anyway, though I'm not sure the character of Morfin in the show is intended to be 25 - his actor was born in 1974!).
Henry Lloyd, from Erebus, was 26 years old, and the only crewmember on Erebus known not to be born in the UK - he was born in Norway. Lots of crewmembers didn't have their birthplaces listed, though, so it's not clear if there were others, and of course, details about James Fitzjames's identity weren't known yet.
This one's George Thompson, who was a 27 year old crewmember on Erebus.
This one's Charles Coombs, who was 28 years old and on Erebus.
Here's Thomas Tadman, another 28 year old Erebite. He's brown in homage to poor Tad the confused reindeer from Parry's arctic expedition.
Here's John Handford, a 28 year old AB on Terror.
Charles Johnson, a 28 year old from Terror who was the only known expedition member born in what would come to be called Canada - in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Here's Magnus Manson, the last of the 28 year old ABs on Terror - I made him bigger than the other ellies in homage to his character on the show, so he's next to Dr Goodsir's ellie (yellow) in this picture.
