Wilf Latchett

Wilf Latchett was an old farmer on Longyoke Fells in Yorkshire, near the glacier area. Like a number of his fellow farmers, Latchett had a domesticated mammoth. In the Spring of 1938, the mammoth, Old Bill, broke one of his tusks while digging in the rocky soil of Longyoke Fells. Latchett contacted the veterinary practice maintained by Wotan and Donner Rengaw. After learning that only George Holley was available, Latchett requested Holley treat Old Bill.
