Chigger Foot Boys
Love, duty, death and dominoes make for an intoxicating cocktail in Chigger Foot Boys. Based on true events in the lives of Jamaicans who fought in World War One and set amid the banter in a rum bar near Kingston Harbour, four young men tell their stories of death and glory as the end of the British Empire looms.
Editor’s Note
An interesting take on true events of people from a Caribbean Island thousands of miles away from the shores of Britain and indeed many other countries. The stories of death and glory is always the path of life, especially from a war and military perspective. It must have been quite an awakening for young men such as these to face death and glory in defence of the British Empire. I doubt they were aware that their efforts and endeavour would not be recognised or appreciated by those who claimed glory for the victory of the British Empire.
