The Mount Everest Committee was a body formed by the Alpine Club and the Royal Geographical Society to co-ordinate and finance the 1921 British Mount Everest reconnaissance expedition to Mount Everest and all subsequent British expeditions to climb the mountain until 1947.
 It was then renamed the Joint Himalayan Committee; this latter committee organized and financed the successful first ascent of Mount Everest in 1953.

Tell England is a 1931 British drama film directed by Anthony Asquith and Geoffrey Barkas and starring Fay Compton, Tony Bruce and Carl Harbord.
 It is based on the novel "Tell England" by Ernest Raymond which featured two young men joining the army, and taking part in the fighting at Gallipoli.
 Both directors had close memories of Gallipoli, as did Fay Compton's brother, Compton Mackenzie.
 Asquith's father H. H. Asquith had been Prime Minister at the time of the Gallipoli Landings, a fact which drew press attention to the film, while Barkas had personally fought at Suvla Bay in the Gallipoli campaign.

 Dolma came from Palchan Village near Manali (in India).
Wings over Everest is a 1934 British short documentary film directed by Geoffrey Barkas and Ivor Montagu.
 It won an Academy Award in 1936 for Best Short Subject (Novelty).

 The film used mixture of real footage of Everest from the record-breaking flight and theatrically produced scenes using the actual people rather than actors.
Gheorghe Dijmărescu (commonly known as George Dijmarescu) is a Romanian-American famous for escaping from the Romanian Dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu by swimming the Danube river, and for his mountaineering exploits including summiting Mount Everest multiple times in the early 2000s.

After World War II, with Tibet closing its borders and Nepal becoming considerably more open, Mount Everest reconnaissance from Nepal became possible for the first time culminating in the successful ascent of 1953.
 In 1950 there was a highly informal trek to what was to become Everest Base Camp and photographs were taken of a possible route ahead.
 Next year the 1951 British Mount Everest reconnaissance expedition reconnoitred various possible routes to Mount Everest from the south and the only one they considered feasible was the one via the Khumbu Icefall, Western Cwm and South Col.
 In 1952, while the Swiss were making an attempt on the summit that nearly succeeded, the British practised their high-altitude Himalayan technique by attempting Cho Oyu, nearby to the west.

The 1924 British Mount Everest expedition was—after the 1922 British Mount Everest expedition—the second expedition with the goal of achieving the first ascent of Mount Everest.
 After two summit attempts in which Edward Norton set a world altitude record of 28,126 feet (8572m), the mountaineers George Mallory and Andrew "Sandy" Irvine disappeared on the third attempt.
 Their disappearance has given rise to the long-standing unanswered question of whether or not the pair climbed to the summit.
 Mallory's body was found in 1999 at 26,760 feet (8155 m), but the resulting clues did not provide conclusive evidence as to whether the summit was reached.
