A bleeding slaughterhouse : The Outrageous True Story of the Alexandra Hospital Massacres, Singapore February 1942
Lloyd, Stuart2021
Books, Manuscripts
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.
