"At bayonet point, the tall sister and the short officer headed for the mortuary where the prepared body lay.
If you lived in England, you should know how civilized people behave, said Sister Mary Curry.
The officer looked into the eyes of Sister Curry: Do English women never cry?
Not when we have work to do, she replied.

This is a short, sharp, punchy treatment of what happened that dreadful Christmas Day, 80 years ago. It touches on expat eccentricities, over-sexed Scottish soldiers, altruistic nurses answering the call of their country, and Japanese infantry caught up in the red mist of battle.

The Battle for Hong Kong seems relatively lost in the shadow of other battles in Southeast Asia, such as Malaya, Singapore, Burma, and the Philippines. But while the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong Island lasted just one week from 18-25 December 1941, it was highlighted by horrific atrocities involving wounded Allied soldiers, and medical doctors, nurses, orderlies and patients.
None worse than the massacre at St Stephen's College, which had transformed into a makeshift hospital.

THE GRUBBY LITTLE MEN WHO RAPED HONG KONG re-opens these wounds and explores who was really responsible for these outrages, and what became of them and their victims.

A surprising twist in the tale links the St Stephen's College Massacre to the Alexandra British Military Hospital in Singapore in a very direct yet ironic, unexpected way.

As horrific as these events were, the page-turning style of this short war book is full of humanity and human spirit.
