Pro Deo, Rege et Patria: For God, King and Country

Essentially a compendium of separate, true-life events, this book is centered around the life and times of the author and his forays from his native UK into foreign lands. It begins in the South Americas, graduates to a full career in Hong Kong, with the police, and culminates in the first international gathering of the author's clan. Stuart McDouall weaves an unusual tale of his involvement, either in person or as a bystander, in many arenas. Among them, the Falkland Islands as an itinerant teacher, Hong Kong and China in its recent social and political history, his affiliation with law and order on a number of fronts, his membership of the Freemasons, the world-wide Scout movement and the Church of England. Stuart paints self-explanatory word pictures that his readers can readily identify with, even those readers who are strangers to places and events that he writes about. Now, in the evening of his years, as busy as ever, Stuart is writing books, still active in freemasonry, a committed churchman and a long-standing(25 years) member of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society in Edinburgh, amassing over 200 of his favourite bottles.
