Reford, Robert Bruce Stephen : Robert Bruce Stephen Reford was born in Montreal on 16 March 1895 to Robert Wilson Reford and Elsie Stephen Meighen. He was educated in England at Rugby and Oxford University. When the First World War broke out, he enlisted in Canada with the King Edward's Horse. In December 1914 he received a commission in the Sherwood Foresters and joined the Regiment's 11th Service Battalion at Aldershot. He went overseas with the battalion in August 1915 and served in France until he transferred to the Irish Guards in March 1916. From then until the war ended he served as a Regimental Officer with the 1st Battalion Overseas and then the 3rd Reserve Battalion. He was wounded in October 1917 and received the Military Cross in 1918 for conspicuous gallantry. After the war, he continued his career in the British Regular Army. In 1919 and 1920 he served as aide-de-camp to Field Marshal Lord French, Viceroy of Ireland and Colonel of the Regiment. In 1920 he married Evelyn Margaret Robinson MacInnes. They had three children, Robert William Reford, Maryon Elsie Margaret Reford and Michael Stephen Reford. Bruce Reford served as Regimental Officer in the Irish Guard until August 1938, with two periods as Regimental Adjutant. In July 1936 he was appointed to the command of the 1st Battalion shortly before it sailed for Egypt. In August 1938 he became Regimental Lieutenant Colonel. When the Second World War broke out he took command of a London Infantry Brigade. In February 1940 he was appointed Officer Commanding General Headquarters Troops at the headquarters of John Vereker, Lord Gort. His later posts included duties in the War Office. Among his other interests were skiing and yachting. He retired back to Canada and died there on 4 November 1972.
