Bruce came from a family of five brothers (who all volunteered to serve) and one sister. He grew up in Sault Ste. Marie and Hamilton and in 1941 joined the Argyll and Sutherland Highland Regiment, spending two years in Jamaica doing guard duty. He returned to Canada to recover from malaria. He went overseas in 1944 and joined the Highland Light Infantry, landing in Normandy in June 1944. He was killed in a vehicle accident in Soest. In addition to his family, Bruce was survived by his fiancee, Edith Littleton. -
