Came to Hong Kong from Uganda in the early 1940s. Acted as Deputy Director Medical and Health Services.
As well as the boy involved in the accident he had a daughter Janet ('youngest of three', so another child too.
I can't find this family in the Hong Kong Kong War Diary lists, but there is a 'Mr Mcleod' there, but without family, so this identification isn't certain, but seems likely (see entry for Janet Christie).

That links up with pages for the rest of the family. I've corrected the names on the other pages.
