  "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. 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 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 unexpected way.The page-turning style of this short ww2 book is full of humanity and human spirit.Key events, characters and places in this story (in order of appearance):The Gin Drinkers LineTerritorial Army Nursing ServiceSt John’s Cathedral, Hong KongJapanese 23 ArmyWar Memorial HospitalRoyal Hong Kong Yacht Club2 Bn Royal ScotsWinnipeg GrenadiersRoyal Rifles of Canada 229 Tanaka Regiment IJAVyner BrookeSS KualaMata HariMassacre at Radji Beach, MuntokCapt Orita MasaruTokyo War Crimes Tribunal 1948Hong Kong War Crimes Trials 1946IJA 38 DivisionVivian Bullwinkel
