Comments / pictures


Once there, we played two months long in the Polish capital. There was
ample horseflesh for the carnivores, but not sufficient raw greenstuff
for our herbage eaters, so that we lost two elephants, one of these
being Nauke, a bull with magnificent Tusks. This was a hard loss for us;
for now, during the war, it was of course out of the question to get
substitutes from India.
