'Unofficially connected with Mr. Lloyd George's department! The elephant munition-worker at Sheffield. Lizzie, a circus elephant was a familiar but incongruous sight on the cobbled streets of Sheffield during the First World War where she was used by a munitions firm for hauling heavy loads. The Illustrated War News, in which this picture was published, notes that she did the work of five horses and could draw eight tons easily.
