While based in Hong Kong during the late 1940s-early 1950s Duncan Geoprge MacPherson became a member of the Lodge Eastern Scotia No. 923. This was a lodge which operated under the Scottish Constitution and belonged to the The Grand Lodge of Antient, Free and Accepted Masons of Scotland which, at the time, was represented by the District Grand Lodge of Scottish Freemasonry in Hongkong and South China. In 1947 MacPherson was Master of the Lodge in 1948.

post-WW2:
1946 - circa1954: Hong Kong Police
1954: transferred to Kenya
November 1955: appointed Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police, Kenya.
Duncan MacPherson was in Kenya during the 'Maumau rebellion'. He was one of those who criticised the treatment of prisoners in Kenya, and gave evidence to that effect, and ultimately resigned his position. His descriptions of the conditions were quoted by Barbara Castle, MP for Blackburn, during a British parliamentary debate in June 1959. "I would say that the consitions I found existing in some of the camps in Kenya were worse, far worse, that anything I experienced during my four and a half years as a prisoner of the Japanese. I was horrified. I could never satisfy myself as to why violence was being used, although if appeared that unless a prisoner admitted Mau Mau he was subjected to it until he did."
1957: Retired from Police Force and to emigrated to New Zealand and worked as the first superintendent of Auckland Harbour Bridge (opened in 1959).
"D. G. McPherson - When he retired as bridge superintendent in 1978, McPherson ended a rich career which had seen him swap gunfire with bank robbers and pirates in Hong Kong; he had earlier led volunteer raids behind Japanese lines in World War II to help civilians escape the Japanese advance; he was entangled in gun battles during China's communist struggles; he became director of criminal intelligence in Hong Kong and then transferred to Kenya where he helped check the Mau Mau uprising. His abiding memory of the bridge was the car that skidded and rolled on to its roof as it approached the toll plaza. As it came to a rest, a hand emerged from the upturned vehicle, holding a 20c piece."
From: Paul Lewis, "Auckland's 175th anniversary: The bridge that nearly sailed away", New Zealand Herald, January 31st, 2015
