Synopsis

One Hell of a Story about Humanity and Inhumanity.

'There are some books, which once read, you cannot get completely out of your mind. This is one of them. Whether you are just curious, a scholar, military historian or, like me, have a personal connection to this story, you will at once be absorbed.’ Col (ret’d) Marty Slade, RAMC

In the hours before the Fall of Singapore in February 1942, the British Military Hospital Alexandra found itself isolated in a no-man’s-land between the Japanese and Allied frontlines.

This is the definitive account of what happened next, resulting in up to 300 soldier-patients, nurses, orderlies and doctors being killed. Many by bayonet in their beds where they lay prone. Others by bayonet and machine gun after they were removed and held captive overnight in the Sisters’ Quarters outhouse. One even on the operating theatre table awaiting surgery.


A Bleeding Slaughterhouse examines the characters, causes and culpability of this two-day tsunami of terror.

The story-driven narrative is based on first-hand interviews with survivors, and never-seen unpublished memoir notes. And it names the guilty.

‘I didn’t really think I could escape my awful plight, but I didn’t want to be slaughtered like a sheep. Worse than any nightmare I ever had, worse than the most fearful ordeal I had ever imagined.’ - Sgt Norman Bryer, RAF, survivor.

Over 40 pages of original maps, illustrations and unpublished photographs.
