!MENTION: Rev. Dr. Donald MacKinnon and Alick Morrison, THE MACLEODS--THE GENEALOGY OF A CLAN, Section II, Edinburgh, The Clan MacLeod Society, 1968, p. 57. Had a heart condition, accentuated by the Halifax explosion and was invalided out of the Army. He regained some strength and obtained a B.A. from Acadia University in 1919. he was chosen as Rhodes Scholar and took a B.A. in History as well as a B. Litt. in Oxford, a B.C.L. and a Diploma in Economics and Political Science. On returning home he was called to the Bar of Nova Scotia and was Professor in History at Acadia University for 5 years. After 2 years as Private Secretary to Prime Minister, MacKenzie King, he taught Political Science at queen's University for 6 years, then gained a seat in the House of Commons and became Minister of Labour for 4 years. Early in World War II, he was appointed Minister of National Defence and soon after a visit to Britain in 1940, he was killed in a military plane crash on 10th June, while trying to reach Toronto when commercial planes were grounded by fog. He wrote two books, a LIFE OF MACKENZIE KING and D'IBERVILLE, and many articles on many subjects on which he was an authority. Like his brother Arthur, and their mother Grace MacLeod Rogers, they were all friends of Norman Magnus, Chief of the Clan MacLeod. Norman MacLeod Rogers married Frances Kierstead, with issue.
