He went to France in when World War I broke out and he saw action at both the First and the Second Battle of Ypres where he displayed considerable bravery, was awarded the Military Cross and was mentioned in dispatches.

His first known published work was a series of short war stories based on his own experiences, and published under the name 'Sapper' in the Daily Mail and in the magazine 'The War Illustrated'. These stories were immediately successful and later sold over , copies within a year when subsequently republished in book-form.

His realistic writing proved most popular at a time of great stress and Lord Northcliff, the owner of the Daily Mail who recognised his talent, was so impressed by that he attempted, but failed, to have McNeile released from the army so he could work as a war correspondent.

After the War was over, in , McNeile resigned from the army with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and became a full-time author, publishing his first novel, Mufti, in that year.

In , he moved to Sussex and lived there for the rest of his life, having married Peggy Baird-Douglas with whom he had two sons. He began the series for which he now best remembered, that of Hugh 'Bulldog' Drummond in and thereafter he wrote 10 novels featuring his eponymous hero.

The public took to Drummond and McNeile had great financial success. The first book was adapted for the stage and produced, to great success, at Wyndham's Theatre during the season with Gerald du Maurier playing the main character. There were 26 films made of his books.

As well as Drummond, he wrote about Ronald Standish but the majority of his work was short stories that were published in various popular monthly magazines and continued to earn him good money. Indeed, in addition to his novels, many of his books were short story collections.

He was reputedly an unremittingly hearty man, who even his good friend and collaborator Gerard Fairlie, who continued the Drummond series after McNeile's death with seven further books, described as "not everybody's cup of tea". But what this has got for it is the real Algy - Claud Allister! He was the one to do the role in the first few Drummond films and the one I associate with the character.

Not Reginald Denny and his bastardized version of Algy. Also John Lodge as the title character manages to bring some personality to our hero which neither Ray Milland or John Howard had given Drummond in their '37 films. Add Dorothy Mackaill , a regular in early precode films, doing her final film and you got a good one.

Bulldog Drummond at Bay () - Overview - www.newyorkethnicfood.com

Just enough drama, action and comedy for a simple B-mystery. Not a bad little potboiler. Drummond reminds me a bit of The Saint. A surprising number of double entendres throughout. Good build up early in the movie, but the resolution seemed unduly rushed.

John Lodge is a hoity Drummond.
