Here's another vid, see if this works.
You can also read about him in Wiki, type 'Gyles Mackrell'.
Mackrell (the Elephant Man) (1889 – 1959) was a British tea planter known for organising a rescue of refugees retreating from the advancing Japanese across the Burma-India border during World War II.
Mackrell was a shikari with his own elephant transport business and he had acted as an agent for the Octavius Steel company in the 1940s. In June 1942 some refugees had crossed the Dapha river and told Mackrell about the great difficulty others were experiencing trying to cross the Chaukan Pass at the Burma-India border.
