Commander Attilio Gatti with two pygmies and the gorilla he had killed.  Belgian Congo. ca 1930 

British Captain A. Gatti and two pygmies with a 500-pound gorilla tied to a pole.  The captain shot her in the Chibinda forest near Lake Kivu.

The gorilla was called Moami Ngagi, king of the gorillas.  The Commander was only allowed to kill one specimen.   He wrote about it in Boys' Life - The American Boy Scout Magazine.  The article was called Gorilla! By Commander Attilio Gati if anyone wants to do a search.  I could only pull up one page on Google books and the writing was very small.  He refered to the pygmies as "poor little beggars"
