Typically they are built in conjunction with logging operations in South and Southeast Asia.〔Croke, Vicki, and Nancy Lopez, ("Bandoola" ), National Public Radio ''Snap Judgement'', August 22, 2014〕 Elephant bridges were built for military purposes in World War II by the Allies in the China Burma India Theater, and operations behind the lines of invading Japanese troops were undertaken to move elephants and elephant handlers to behind Allied lines. The native personnel involved, and the elephants, were, before the arrival of Japanese forces, largely engaged in the logging of teak for export. The British soldier James Howard "Elephant Bill" Williams, who oversaw the evacuation, had worked in the Burma teak trade; the success of the operation is said to have hinged on his long-standing personal relationship with one particularly large elephant.〔 == Further reading == * Croke, Vicki Constantine, ''Elephant Company: The Inspiring Story of an Unlikely Hero and the Animals Who Helped Him Save Lives in World War II'', Random House, 2014〔Price, Matthew, ''Boston Globe'', (review ) "‘Elephant Company’ by Vicki Croke"〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elephant-built bridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
