Bulldog Drummond Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Bulldog Drummond is a British fictional character created by "Sapper", a pseudonym of H. C. McNeile (1888-1937), in imitation of the hard boiled noir-style detectives appearing in contemporary American fiction. The stories followed Captain Hugh "Bulldog" Drummond, D.S.O, M.C, a former WWI Army officer who had set up his own private detective business after the war. The stories, like the character, were often direct and brutal, and often rang of jingoism and racism. The character first appeared in the novel Bulldog Drummond (1920), and was adapted into a number of films and radio serials.
