Footage shot during an intrepid hunting trip in India

This film was shot - and shot is the word - by a member of an intrepid hunting party in hot pursuit, aided by elephants, of tigers and leopards (whose carcasses are seen). The elephants pull down trees in their path. It's one of an astonishing 18 reels of 16mm filmed by Sir Eric Studd, an amateur film epic covering the Grand Lodge of Freemasons' tour from Bombay (now Mumbai) to vertiginous mount Kangchenjunga, via much of India and today's Myanmar and Nepal.

A tour made by rail and road to India, Burma and Sikkim, by members of the Grand Lodge of the Freemasons [18 cans].
