<description><![CDATA[Photo courtesy of his son Hugh Knapton who adds, &quot;I remember Dad saying that the villagers were asking them to get rid of the tiger, as it was killing their livestock. Dad's diary on 24 Feb 1942 states that a tiger had killed a cow in the village, and on the 25th it says that one of his men had seen a large tiger in the camp, and that he went out about 30 yards into the jungle with a tommy gun but could not find it.&quot;<br />
