Drummer in Hell
DRUMMER IN HELL is a story about a Canadian prairie boy confronted with dramatic change; new and different kinds of friends, a strange and exciting culture, and the fear and uncertainty of violent battle. The story describes a young man's personal journey from patriotic and excited recruit to battle-hardened and emotionally drained defender. It is the story of the struggle and surrender of Canadian and British forces to the Imperial Japanese Army at the onset of World War II in the Pacific. For seventeen year old Davy Richardson, the fight for Hong Kong between November 16 and Christmas 1941 changed him forever.
The story is based on fact and it is powerful.
DRUMMER IN HELL is also a story about Canada. Like a young teen learning the hard way, World War II was both a triumph and a disaster for a growing country; sadness mixed with pride. Boys became men during the battle for Hong Kong and they made Canada a nation.
Read the story - and grow up.
