Leslie was working as a Fruiterer in Ipswich in 1936 when he married Mavis Anne Beatrice Kruger (b1917 in Ipswich, QLD).

He served as an Aircaftman I (Service No:76982) and Leading Aircraftman with No 4 Squadron and No 23 Squadron, and was attached to No 333 Radar Station when he was Discharged in September 1945.
