The Vagaries of Life Or, Poor Duncan Stewart

In 1947, the members of the Executive Council in the Mandate of Palestine, under the presidency of His Excellency The High Commissioner, included Duncan George Stewart, who served as Financial Secretary - as per the Palestine Government Staff List as of the 1st of April, 1947, (Jerusalem: Palestine Government Printer, 1947). p. 5.

In 1949, he was assassinated in a British colony in East Asia named Sarawak.

Oh, and by the way, the names of the Districts were:

Jerusalem
Samaria
Galilee & Acre
Lydda
Haifa
Gaza

Samaria?

Isn't that a Jewish geographical name?
