Hardcover. Zustand: Good. No dustjacket. Elephant Bill by Lt. Col. J. H. Williams is a remarkable memoir recounting the author's experiences working with elephants in the teak forests of Burma and later during the Second World War. Known affectionately as "Elephant Bill," Williams describes his deep understanding of these intelligent animals and the vital role they played in forestry, transport, and wartime operations.
