DoB from John Black's list, which gives Mr Soutar's occupation in 1941 as "Police".

He left the Police Force in 1955, as reported on page 22 of the March 1956 edition of the Hongkong Police Magazine:

Inspector A. Soutar who has completed twenty-six years service with the Force, left the Colony for New Zealand on a well earned retirement on 1st, November, 1955.

Inspector Soutar joined in May 1930 and served in many branches of the Force. During the Pacific War, he was interned in Stanley. He was awarded the Colonial Police Long Service Medal in 1948. We take this opportunity to wish Inspector and Mrs. Soutar a happy and pleasant retirement.
