213483 Sgt. James William Bruce Canadian Expeditionary Force Royal Canadian Army Service Corps from:Toronto, Ontario, Canada My maternal grandfather, James Bruce, was born in Scotland and emigrated to Canada in 1928 with his parents and siblings. He had been a member of the "Black and Tans" in Scotland. When WW2 started, he joined the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps on Oct 19,1939. This date was my mother Gloria Bruce's 10 birthday. There were 3 children at home & his wife Frances May Colclough Bruce. They had met and fallen in love on the boat bringing them to Canada and married soon after arriving here. He was assigned to the RCASC after his enlistment. Because of his age (39) and previous army experience in Scotland and England, he soon became a sergeant. I don't have too much information about his army days in WW2 and would appreciate any further info anyone can provide.
