Dr. Nicolson (sometimes called Nicholson in wartime sources) qualified in 1924 at Glasgow University and was registered to practie in Hong Kong in 1925, eventually becoming Port doctor.
He remained outside Stanley in 1942 to help Selwyn-Clarke with his public health work in occupied Hong Kong. He was interned on May 7, 1943 in the wake of the latter's arrest.
