While gathering material for a paper on the use of elephants during World War II, I came across an interesting film by British tea planter Gyles Mackrell also known as the "Elephant Man".

I really liked that video. Some great footage, and a great story, as well.
If it works out that you could do so, I sure hope you'll be able to share that paper with us when you are finished. I would very much love to read it. I can see from the video alone that it would be a most fascinating subject to immerse one's self in!

Re: Elephant Man
Great Find, Nitro.
As Timmy suggests, there would indeed be a great interest, here, on reading your paper.
