BRUCE-LOCKHART, SIR ROBERT• 75a work camp at Blechhammer in Upper Silesia, where he gathered
information and conveyed it to MI9. Later, masquerading as a Nazi
sympathizer, he was approved for a special camp, Genshagen, which
from June 1943 accommodated potential members of the British Free
Corps. Brown was eventually liberated by American troops in April
1945 but was kept in custody as a suspected traitor until MI9 could
confirm his credentials. Upon his release, he was flown home for a
lengthy debriefing.BRUCE-LOCKHART, JOHN.Educated at Rugby and St. Andrews
University, John Bruce-Lockhart returned to his old school as a
teacher and, like several other masters at Rugby, joined theSecret
Intelligence Service(SIS) in 1940. Bruce-Lockhart was posted to
the SIS cover organization in the Middle East, theInter-Services Li-
aison Department, and later worked in North Africa andItaly.At
the end of World War II, he went to Paris under assistant military
attache ́cover and in 1948 started a three-year tour in Germany as
head of the German Stations under the umbrella cover of the Control
Commission.
Somewhat to his embarrassment, Bruce-Lockhart was hastily
transferred to Washington, D.C., in May 1951 following Kim
Philby’s recall and dismissal. This must have been an awkward as-
signment, bearing in mind that some Americans could not understand
why Philby had not been prosecuted and suspected a convenient es-
tablishment cover-up. Returning to London in 1953, Bruce-Lockhart
remained at SIS headquarters until his retirement in 1965. In Septem-
ber 1984 he presented a paper entitled ‘‘Intelligence: A British
View’’ to a Royal United Services Institute for Defence Studies con-
ference on Anglo-American intelligence and described himself as
having been ‘‘actively involved in intelligence at a senior level.’’
Three years later his remarks were updated and formed a chapter in
British and American Approaches to Intelligence, edited by Ken
Robertson of Reading University. At the time of his death in May
1995, Bruce-Lockhart was researching a detailed account of SIS’s
contribution to the Italian campaign during later stages of World
War II.
