Biographical Information: 

  • Family Background:

    Huntley was the elder son of William Bremner and Diana Harriet Bruce. His maternal grandfather was Major General Alexander James Bruce of the Madras Staff Corps. His
    parents were both born in the East Indies: this was clearly a background of Colonial Service and Empire. Huntley was born in Edinburgh, but in the 1891 Census the family was living at Portland Square, Carlisle. He had a younger sister, Helen Marianne and a brother, Alastair Bruce, who was a Captain in the Great War and died in Livingstone, Rhodesia (Zambia)  in 1918. He features on the CGS War Memorial also.
