Grandpa (i.e., Don McBride) went out with Fuzzy to find the tiger the morning after Fuzzy shot it. The night before, when Fuzzy shot the tiger, the tiger ran into the jungle and he (Fuzzy) was afraid to go into the jungle to find it. The next morning, my grandfather went with Fuzzy to track the tiger and they found it dead in a bamboo thicket, a couple of hundred yards from where Fuzzy shot it. Grandpa helped Fuzzy bring it back to the village where these pictures were taken."  From Jim Dalby "I found Ball's airplane and went to his internment in Kunming. Ball in on the left side and an Air Force Pilot is on the right. They were not killed at the same time."
