Howdy ho.
My grandad who died when I was young was supposed to have brought back a Panther from Burma some time during the second world war. The story goes that for some unknown reason my grandad out of all the regement was the only one that could handle the cat and so he brought it back to England and gave it to London Zoo.
I dont know much about his war career (it's on the to do list), but thought there might be record of this somewhere.
I've had a look at the Times Online and the London Gazette but I dont seem to have much luck searching newspapers.
Anyone got any ideas where I might find some info?
Cheers
