Dr. Mackie was appointed a Hong Kong Medical Officer in 1930.

He stayed out of Stanley to help Selwyn-Clarke with his public health work in occupied Hong Kong, but was interned on May 7, 1943 in the wake of the latter's arrest.

He was a malariologist, who continued the camp's campaign against that disease.
