Bruce J. S. Macdonald Fonds
MS 43
Content Note
This fonds contains documents regarding the family, life and career of Bruce John Stewart Macdonald, spanning the years [189-?] to 1986, although not inclusively.
The fonds is divided into nine series: Private Life 1898 to 1986; Essex Scottish Regiment 1931 to 1986; War Crimes 1944 to [198-?]; Legal Career 1928 to 1986; Police Commissions 1923 to 1978; Speeches 1946 to [198-?]; Photographic Material [189-?] to 1985; Ephemera 1906 to [197-?]; and Maps 1943 to [194-?].
The first series, spanning the years 1898 to 1986, consists primarily of correspondence, newspaper clippings and certificates regarding the private life of Bruce Macdonald. Documents provide insight into Macdonald’s family, personal life, education, community service activities and his book, The Trial of Kurt Meyer.
The second series contains documents highlighting Macdonald’s association with the Essex Scottish Regiment. Documents within this series span the years 1931 to 1986. The majority of the documents deal with Macdonald’s involvement with the Regiment both during and after World War II. Unfortunately, there is no documentation of his involvement with the Regiment during the pre-war period.
The third series is composed of documents which focus on the war crimes trials after World War II. Documents within this series span the years 1944 to [198-?]. This series consists primarily of correspondence and reports involving several war crimes trials, including that of S. S. Brigadeführer Kurt Meyer. The majority of the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force SHAEF reports within this series are in very fragile condition and must be handled with extreme care. In those cases where two copies of the report exist, a research copy will be made available to researchers. Photographs are included in several of the reports which must also be handled with care. In a few cases, photographs have been removed from the files and must be requested separately. Researchers will be provided with cotton gloves when handling these reports.
RESEARCHERS MUST ALSO NOTE THAT SEVERAL REPORTS WITHIN THIS SERIES CONTAIN VERY GRAPHIC PHOTOGRAPHS OF CORPSES, EXHUMATIONS AND CONCENTRATION CAMP CONDITIONS. HESE PHOTOGRAPHS MAY BE CONSIDERED DISTRUBING AND SHOULD BE VIEWED WITH DISCRETION.
The fourth series consists primarily of correspondence and reports documenting Macdonald’s legal career and span the years 1928 to 1986. In some cases, photographs and plans have been removed from the files and must be requested separately.
Primarily correspondence, minutes and reports, the fifth series contains documents which
MS 43 – Bruce J. S. Macdonald Fonds - Content Note – continued
highlight Macdonald’s involvement with police commissions. The Windsor, Leamington and Ontario Police Commissions are documented as well as the Association of Municipal Police Governing Authorities. Documents within this series span the years 1923 to 1978.
Series six consists of numerous speeches made by Bruce Macdonald, spanning the years 1946 to [198-?]. When received by the Archives, the speeches were stored together in one large box. For ease of use, they have been divided into several broad topic areas. In some cases the speech has been transcribed, with the transcription filed along with the original speech. These speeches are invaluable as they document Macdonald’s view towards certain events and issues.
The seventh series consists of photographs, negatives and slides spanning the years [189-?] to 1985. These materials document Macdonald’s family and personal life, World War II, war crimes trials, legal cases and police ceremonies. As such, these materials supplement the textual documents within the fonds. The majority of the photographs, negatives and slides have been transferred to the Photograph Collection of the Municipal Archives. In those cases where photographs were physically attached to textual documents, they have remained within the files. All photographs must be requested separately by researchers. SEVERAL PHOTOGRAPHS DEPICT VERY GRAPHIC IMAGES OF CORPSES, EXHUMATIONA AND CONCENTRATION CAMP CONDITIONS. THESE PHOTOGRAPHS MAY BE CONSIDERED DISTURBING AND SHOULD BE VIEWED WITH DISCRETION.
Series eight contains textual and artifact ephemera which were included within the fonds. Material within this series span the years 1906 to [197-?]. Materials have been divided into textual material and artifacts and have been stored separately. Postcards within this series should be requested by PC-P/number.
The ninth series consists of maps dating from the 1940s. These maps may prove useful to researchers by supplementing information found within other documents, particularly those involving World War II and the war crimes trials. Due to their size, all maps are stored apart from the rest of the collection.
The documents within this fonds were donated to the Municipal Archives by Norma Macdonald and William Willson in 1988. Researchers should note that Bruce Macdonald transferred several original documents to the National Archives in Canada. Copies of these documents can be found in MS 43 I-1/6. Researchers should also note that several topics covered by this fonds can be found in other collections. Researchers interested in Charlie Knight caricatures should consult MS 44. Researchers interested in Bruce Macdonald’s career as City Solicitor should consult RG 9 Records of the Legal Department. Researchers interested in the history of the Essex Scottish Regiment may wish to consult accession 95-053 at the University of Windsor Archives.

Historical Note
Bruce John Stewart Macdonald was born on 2 December 1902 at Rose Bay, Nova Scotia to Dr. William Henry and Mary Annie Victoria Macdonald. In 1913 his family moved to Medicine Hate, Alberta, where his father practiced medicine. He graduated from the University of Alberta in 1924 with a bachelor’s degree and in 1926 with a law degree. While attending the University of Alberta, Macdonald was Editor-in-Chief of the weekly newspaper, President of the Law Club, Permanent President Class ’26 and a member of the champion debating team. In 1927 he completed a post graduate course at Harvard Law School. In September of that year he moved to Windsor and practiced law with Norman A. McLarty and Gordon L. Fraser.
Upon moving to Windsor in 1927, Macdonald joined the law firm of McLarty & Fraser. He remained with then until his appointment as Windsor’s first full-time City Solicitor in September 1930. As City Solicitor, Macdonald assisted in proceedings as well as with drafting special legislation for the 1935 amalgamation of Windsor, East Windsor, Sandwich and Walkerville. As counsel for the new City of Windsor, Macdonald represented the City in hearings before the Ontario Municipal Board regarding the refunding of a $40 million amalgamated city debt. After resigning as City Solicitor in 1937, Macdonald returned to private practice with McLarty and Fraser. On 16 September 1939 Macdonald married Norma Millard in a ceremony at All Saints’ Church, Windsor.
Macdonald joined the Essex Scottish Regiment in 1929 as a militia officer. He enlisted in September 1939 for overseas service and acted as Company Commander. He was promoted to second in command of the regiment in 1942 and remained in this position until May 1943. Macdonald served as Commanding Officer from 27 May 1943 to 22 July 1944, with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel and commanded the Regiment in early fighting in Normandy. Prior to the Normandy invasion, he conducted a battle school for the training of all units of the Fourth Infantry Brigade.
From August 1944 to May 1945 Macdonald was the Canadian representative on the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Forces (SHAEF) Court of Inquiry on War Crimes. During this time Macdonald traveled throughout Europe investigating reports of offenses against Allied troops taken prisoner by German Armed Forces. He would later serve as president of the court for three months, beginning in February 1945. In May 1945, the No. 1 Canadian War Crimes Investigation Unit was established, as the SHAEF Court of Inquiry was dissolved at war’s end and Macdonald appointed its Commanding Officer. This new unit carried on the work previously done by the SHAEF court, however, they only investigated reports of war crimes affecting members of the Canadian forces, Macdonald would also act as Chief Prosecutor of war criminals for the Canadian forces.
During his appointment with this unit, Macdonald acted as Chief Prosecutor of was criminals for the Canadian forces. In December 1945 he successfully prosecuted S. S.
MS 43 – Bruce J. S. Macdonald Fonds - Historical Note – continued
Brigadeführer Kurt Meyer. Meyer was charged with directing his troops to deny quarter to Allied prisoners, as well as for being responsible for the killing of Canadian prisoners at his headquarters at Abbaye Ardenne near Caen, France. Meyer was convicted and sentenced to death, but was later commuted to life imprisonment. The trial and sentencing controversy made the Meyer case the most publicized war crime case in Canada at the time. Macdonald published a book about the trial, The trial of Kurt Meyer, in 1954. For his service in World War II, Macdonald was awarded the Order of the British Empire (OBE), the Croix de Guerre (France) and the Efficiency Decoration.
After returning from active service in 1946, Macdonald was appointed King’s Council and joined Wilson, Thomson & Macdonald. While at this firm, Macdonald acted as solicitor for both Essex County as well as the Sandwich, Windsor & Amherstburg Railway Co. On 1 April 1951 he was appointed Crown Attorney for Essex County. His primary challenge as Crown Attorney was to restore order to the troubled Windsor police department. That same day he became a member of the Windsor Police Commission and would eventually become its chairman. Macdonald was also a member of the Sandwich West, Leamington and Amherstburg police commissions, as well as president of the Association of Municipal Police Governing Authorities of Ontario. He was appointed a Judge of County and District Courts of Ontario with residence at Windsor in October 1961. He took a leave of absence from the judge’s bench from April 1962 to February 1964 to become the first chairman of the Ontario Police Commission. During this time the Ontario Police College was established, the Ontario Provincial Police reorganized and a report made on organized crime in Ontario. After retiring as Judge of the County in December 1977 ha became a Judge of Small Claims Court, a position he held into the year of his death.
Macdonald was very active in community service and during his life was involved with several organizations. He was president of the Rotary Club, Windsor Symphony Society and United Nations Association. He was first president of the Essex Scottish Officers Association, Essex Scottish Regimental Association and Honourary Life President of the South African Veterans Association. Bruce Macdonald died on 2 June 1986. Norma Macdonald died 8 July 1990 and is interred at Greenlawn Memorial Gardens.

Essex Scottish Regiment
Series Description
This series documents Macdonald’s activity with the Essex Scottish Regiment both during and after World War II. Unfortunately, there is no documentation of his involvement with the Regiment during the pre-war period. Documents within this series span the years 1931 to 1986, although not inclusively. Primarily correspondence, minutes and programmes, these documents illustrate Macdonald’s involvement with the regiment and its various committees and associations. Also included in the series are caricatures, notes, reports, financial documents, a speech, by-laws, lists, certificates, newspaper clippings, a poster, a scrapbook as well as Macdonald’s record of service and medical record booklets. One of the caricatures included in this series was drawn by Charlie Knight, past political cartoonist for the Windsor Star. Researchers interested in other Charlie Knight caricatures should consult MS 44. Of particular interest are the War Correspondence files. Consisting primarily of correspondence between Bruce and his wife, Norma, these files provide invaluable insight into Macdonald’s actions and views during the war. The correspondence also clearly illustrates the relationship shared between Bruce and Norma. Included in the War Correspondence to Bruce Macdonald file (MS 43 II/39) is a letter to all ranks explaining his loss of command in August 1944. Researchers interested in this subject may also wish to consult the Relief of Command file (MS 43 II/26). The Uniform Identification Poster (MS 43 II/31) is of interest as it illustrates for German troops how to identify the uniform of the Essex Scottish Regiment. Also of interest, is a scrapbook (MS 43 II/28) kept by Norma Macdonald of the regiment’s activities during the war. The scrapbook also contains several articles dealing with the Kurt Meyer trial.

No. 1 Canadian War Crimes Investigation Unit
Subseries Description
This subseries consists primarily of reports prepared by the No. 1 Canadian War Crimes Investigation Unit into cases of war crimes against members of the Canadian Armed Forces. These reports provide detailed information on war crimes and the investigation into cases. Researchers should note that these reports are in fragile condition and must be handled with extreme care. In cases where two copies of the same report exist, a research copy will be made available to researchers. Maps have been removed from two reports and are stored apart from the collection. Researchers interested in viewing these maps should request them separately. Photographs are contained in two reports and must also be handled with care. Cotton gloves will be provided to researchers that request these reports. Photographs have been removed from one report and were transferred to the Photograph Collection of the Municipal Archives. Researchers interested in viewing the photographs from this report should request them separately using their PC/ numbers.
RESEARCHERS SHOULD NOTE THAT ONE REPORT CONTAINS GRAPHIC PHOTOGRAPHS. THESE PHOTOGRAPHS MAY BE CONSIDERED DISTURBING AND SHOULD BE VIEWED WITH DISCRETION.
This subseries also consists of other reports, correspondence and minutes. Documented in this subseries is the trial of Brigadier Lister, in which Macdonald was special prosecutor. Lister was on trial for charges relating to the improper use of a requisitioned house in Amsterdam. Several of the Correspondence and Reports files refer to the investigation into Kurt Meyer. Researchers interested in the Kurt Meyer trial should see MS 43 III-3. Also of interest is the Coded Correspondence (MS 43 III-2/3) which refers to people, locations and events in Roman terminology.

Kurt Meyer Trial
Subseries Description
Included in the subseries are numerous reports, correspondence, notes, newspaper clippings and articles, a speech, diaries and copies of “The Maple Leaf”. Of particular interest to researchers are the three volumed Record of Proceedings, which contain detailed information on the Meyer trial.

Private Practice
Subseries Description
This subseries documents Bruce Macdonald’s legal career with Wilson, Thomson & Macdonald, including his position as solicitor for Essex County and the Sandwich, Windsor & Amherstburg Railway Co. Unfortunately, un documentation exists for Macdonald’s employment with McLarty & Fraser. Documents within this subseries span the years 1928 to 1953. The majority of the documents pertain to specific cases in which Macdonald was involved. Although primarily correspondence and reports, the subseries also contains notes, plans, certificates, leases, an agreement, a deed, minutes, by-laws, financial statements and newspaper clippings. The Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Co. vs Vas (MS 43 IV-1/2) involves a case of a car being struck at a railroad crossing. Photographs and a plan have been removed from this file and must be requested separately. The Photographs have been transferred to the Photograph Collection of the Municipal Archives and must be requ4ested by PC/ number. Plans have been removed from several files and should be requested separately. In his work with the Sandwich, Windsor & Amherstburg Railway Co., Macdonald was primarily involved with wage negotiations and property purchases and sales. As such, these files prove useful to researchers interested in the history of the Sandwich, Windsor & Amherstburg Railway Co. Also of interest are the proceedings from an inquiry into the finances, administration and personnel of Metropolitan General Hospital in Windsor.

Subseries Description
This subseries, spanning the years 1961 to 1983, contains documents relating to Bruce Macdonald’s career as a Judge of the County and District Courts of Ontario. He was appointed a Judge in October 1961 and remained in the post until having to retire in December 1977.

The Raymond Denis case (MS 43 IV-4/1) involves a federal government official convicted of attempting to obstruct justice by offering a bribe. The Royal Bank Robbery (MS 43 IV-4/2) involves the theft of $1.1 million from the Royal Bank in Windsor, at that time the largest amount stolen in Canadian history. Two inquiries are also documented within this subseries.

Photographic Material
Series Description
This series consist of 1003 photographs, 35 slides and 31 negatives spanning the years [189-?] to 1985. The photographs have been roughly separated into periods of Macdonald’s life, in much the same way as series I to V. Photographs depict his childhood and family, his university years, the Essex Scottish Regiment and World War II, the Kurt Meyer trial, war atrocities and police ceremonies. In some instances, the negative exists for the photograph. Many of the photographs involving war crime trials are evidence photographs which have been removed from the reports. In such instances, the photographs compliment the textual documents found in the collection. Most of the slides depict emergency rescue procedures, bomb diagrams and damaged buildings. The majority of the photographs, negatives and slides have been removed from the collection and transferred to the Photograph Collection of the Municipal Archives. In those cases where photographs were physically attached to textual documents, they have remained within the files. Photographs in two photo albums have not been removed, however, the albums were transferred to the Photograph Collection. RESEARCHERS MUST NOTE THAT SEVERAL PHOTOGRAPHS DEPICT VERY GRAPHIC IMAGES OF CORPSES, EXHUMATIONS AND CONCENTRATION CAMP CONDITIONS. THESE PHOTOGRAPHS MAY BE CONSIDERED DISTURBING AND SHOULD BE VIEWED WITH DISCRETION.

Textual Material
Subseries Description
This subseries, spanning the years 1919 to [197-?], consists of textual ephemera found in the collection. The majority of the material is associated with World War II. Included are programmes, a menu, books, envelopes, cards, postcards, a booklet, an invitation and a certificate. The postcards have been assigned PC-P/ numbers and transferred to the Photograph Collection of the Municipal Archives. Researchers wishing to view these postcards should request them by their PC-P/ number. Of particular interest are several church programmes regarding services for troops as well as handbooks about the German army. Also of interest is “daag” (MS 43 VIII-1/4), a book containing cartoons involving Canadian troops in Holland. Although some of these materials do not directly involve Macdonald, they do provide insight into the atmosphere during World War II.
