Records about Aga from William "Buckles" Woodcocks Blog at http://www.bucklesw.blogspot.com/
I think this is Aga that belonged to Hagenbeck's and was bought by Sir Robert Fossett's after this engagement. They also bought a smaller elephant at the same time, but unfortunately I cannot remember the name. Mary Fossett told me her father bought it for her as a birthday present. She was presented by a Singalese called Jacob and remained with the Fossett show throughout the war and eventually died in about 1960. Bailey Fossett, Mary's brother, told me she was one of the best elephants they ever had. She responded to all the Singalese commands, as Hagenbeck had bought her partly trained when she was 8 years old.
