glebили вот история достойная хорошей экранизации
(так или иначе будоражит воображение)
After serving in World War I as an infantry officer, Elephant Bill settled in Burma where he became a teak man and boss of elephant teams. Early in 1942, when the japanese swept across Burma and the regular ways out were closed, Bill put his wife and children on the back of an elephant and took them over the razor-backed mountain trails into India. Thousands of people who tried to walk out along the same trails died on the way.
здесь в трех словах, ну а так про слоновго билла найти можно (правда, кажется, только по-англйиски)
