The title for this month is Elephant Company by Vicki Constantine Croke.

"J.H. "Billy" Williams always had an affinity for animals and when he responded to a job offer with the East India Company to work with logging elephants his family worried that he had already come back from World War I in one piece, would he be so lucky with India? Not only did he find his calling with the elephants in India, Billy and his elephants became war heroes, instrumental in saving refugees.
