The Albatross and the Elephant Eggs by HARRY BARTON
In early 1945 the war on the seas around Japan was at its height and Purbright, an officer on a British aircraft carrier, was kept busy looking after 500 elephant eggs, dodging Kamikazes and finishing his pantomime. But
Purbright's letters home take on a sombre quality after news of the apocalyptic bomb.
