In 1911, Leslie was 22 years old, one of 8 children at home and working as a farm labourer on the family farm. He started as a member of the 20th Halton Battalion Lorne Rifles militia regiment (H company) but for World War I, this company was dispersed into the 4th Battalion of the 1st Canadian Division, Canadian Expeditionary Force.
