Later during the war he served in the Life Guards in France and Germany[7][6] and was one of the first British soldiers to enter Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
[8] After the war, Lockhart continued his interrupted education at Cambridge,[6] where he read French and German, won the Wright Prize for Modern Languages, and was both a rugby union and a squash rackets Blue.
He was in the wilderness for three years, but in 1953 was recalled to play in the Five Nations championship against Ireland and then against England on 21 March 1953, his last appearance for Scotland, at a time when the team was in a long losing run.
[6] He became Chairman of the Eastern Division of the Headmasters' Conference in the 1970s and broke new ground by inviting the heads of the Girls' Schools Association to attend HMC meetings.
[13] Interviewing him for The Illustrated London News, Roger Berthoud noted his view that “children should have privacy and a little kingdom of their own” and commented that he would be a hard act to follow.
[14] For sixty years, Logie Bruce Lockhart contributed articles to magazines and newspapers, from Country Life and Rugby World to She.
[15] His second book, Stuff and Nonsense,[6] gave the philosophy of a retired headmaster and thoughts on educational topics of the previous half century, the 'Stuff', while a variety of essays on rugby, fly fishing, camping in old age, wind-surfing in France, and so forth provided the 'Nonsense'.
[16] Now We Are Very Old (2012) is a collection of Lockhart’s cautionary verses for the elderly, while Now And Then, This And That (2013) is a reflection on his family history, his experiences in the Second World War, the changes in education during his teaching career, and the changes in society during his lifetime.
British Bird Watching for Beginners & Enthusiasts (2018), written for his grandchildren and illustrated with his own watercolours, explored his lifetime passion for ornithology.
