Amateur documentary footage filmed by a British man who rescued hundreds of people during the Second World War using a herd of elephants has been published by Cambridge University.
Gyles Mackrell, nicknamed the Elephant Man, saved more than 200 Burmese fleeing the Japanese invasion in 1942 using elephants from his tea-planting business in an operation dubbed a "Far Eastern Dunkirk".
Thousands of evacuees, many of them wounded, sick and starving, had trekked for miles through the jungle, becoming trapped when monsoon rains flooded the Dapha river on the Indian border.
After receiving an SOS call from one group of refugees, Mackrell gathered the elephants, which he used in his work on the tea plantation, and set up camp on the river bank.
In the weeks that followed, his team brought hundreds of men, women and children to safety across the water on elephants.
Dr Kevin Greenbank, an archivist at the Centre of South Asian Studies, said: ''The story is a sort of Far Eastern Dunkirk, but it has largely been forgotten about since the war.
''Without the help of Mackrell and others like him, hundreds of people fleeing the Japanese advance would quite simply never have made it.''
Mackrell, who worked at the Steel Brothers tea plantation in Assam, India, was awarded the George Medal in recognition of his rescue operation.
He died in 1959 after retiring to Suffolk.
University of Cambridge researchers hope that the new documents will draw fresh attention to his career.

Aventure en Indochine 1946-1954
C’est l’histoire d’un jeune homme qui étouffe dans la France des lendemains de la Libération. Parce qu’il a souvent rêvé devant la carte de l’empire, il s’embarque pour l’Extrême-Orient. Cinq semaines à bord d’un paquebot reconverti en transport de troupes, le temps d’observer les autres passagers : employés, missionnaires, soldats. Ces silhouettes, il les croque avec gourmandise (les illustrations sont de Jérémie Gasparutto), et noircit son premier carnet de notes.
L’Indochine a connu quatre années d’occupation japonaise. Le Blanc, pour la première fois soumis au Jaune, a perdu la face. Le jeune Français découvre Saigon, son odeur, ses charmes. Il trouve un job dans l’import-export, les affaires ont repris, l’argent de la guerre se déverse. Mais il ne tarde pas à se lasser de cette ambiance festive et artificielle. Un médecin opiomane lui parle des provinces du Nord, des Méos, le « peuple des nuages ». “Allez-y, partez. Ne laissez pas votre vie se dérouler sans vous.” Jean démissionne.
Son voyage va le mener à pied, à cheval, en train, en sampan, en camion, de la frontière de la Chine à la frontière de la Birmanie, et du Tonkin jusqu’à la Thaïlande. Pour vivre, il récoltera l’opium, déchargera les balles de coton, deviendra un de ces innombrables « petits Blancs » de la colonie. Si éloignés des aristocrates de la banque et de l’import-export. Une guerre a débuté. Elle durera neuf ans, au bout desquels le ciel tombera sur la tête des Français d’Indochine. Mais pour l’heure, un halo de mystère enveloppe cette guerre de commandos, d’espionnage, d’intérêts mêlés.
Jean sillonne le pays, pose des questions, tente de comprendre les indigènes et les colons. Engagé dans une plantation d’hévéas comme contremaître, il fait la connaissance de Mike, un pilote qui livre des marchandises illicites à travers toute la Péninsule. Mike lui fait connaître Angkor, les danseuses de pierre et celles du ballet royal du prince Norodom Sihanouk. Puis c’est la frontière chinoise, où les troupes nationalistes de Tchang Kaïchek refluent, Hanoi émergeant de sa léthargie, le Mékong remonté en chaloupe jusqu’à Vientiane, la rencontre avec le modèle du « Crabetambour », un officier de la Royale qui sillonne les rivières et les arroyos à la façon d’un corsaire, pourchassant les jonques de contrebandiers d’opium et de trafiquants d’armes. Au cours d’un séjour dans le delta, il entend parler de Suzanne, une femme qui ressemble étrangement à l’héroïne durassienne de « Barrage contre le Pacifique », dont la concession inondable a été engloutie par une crue du Mékong. Fleuve sur lequel il s’aventure une nouvelle fois, alors que le conflit a pris de l’ampleur, vers les régions inamicales du Nord.
Jean est toujours en quête des Méos, les fiers partisans des montagnes, mais aussi d’un certain Bertrand dont on a perdu la trace. A mesure qu’il remonte le Mékong, avec l’espoir de retrouver le mythique capitaine, et qu’il longe en silence des villages défendus par des pieux couronnés de têtes de serpent, le jeune homme ne peut s’empêcher de songer à un autre fleuve, dont Joseph Conrad a peint les ténébreux sortilèges de façon mémorable.
Si le film de Patrick Jeudy est une telle réussite, c’est qu’il dépasse le documentaire et mêle intimement fiction et (somptueuses) images d’archives. Le personnage du héros s’inspire de l’écrivain Jean Hougron, à qui ses années indochinoises ont inspiré un cycle romanesque. Un monde s’enfonce dans la guerre comme dans une sorte d’oubli, et nous assistons à son crépuscule.
Eric de Saint-Angel
