Early life and educationMcLeod was born in Auckland on 5 August 1921, the son of Norman John Murdoch McLeod, also an engineer, and Eva Mary McLeod (née Ringrose).[1][2] Raised in the Wellington suburb of Karori, he was educated at Wellington College, and went on to study civil engineering at Canterbury University College, graduating BE in 1942.[1][3] Early career and military serviceFollowing graduation, McLeod initially worked in the Public Works Department, designing coastal defences.[1] In April 1943, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Corps of New Zealand Engineers, but was decommissioned and sent overseas in January 1944 as a sapper, serving in Italy.[1][4][5] He was again commissioned as a second lieutenant in February 1945,[6] and served as adjutant to Brigadier Fred Hanson.[4] In March 1946, he went to Japan with the 5th Engineer Company as part of J Force.[1] Post-war family and careerReturning to New Zealand in September 1946, he married Ella Margaret McEwan, and the couple went on to have three children.[1][13][7][8] McLeod resumed his career with the Ministry of Works, and in 1949 moved to Mangakino, where he rose to become the project engineer for construction of the Waikato River dams.[8] In 1962, McLeod became district commissioner of works in Wanganui.[8] and then, from 1964 to 1966, district commissioner of Works in Hamilton.[9] After an Eisenhower Exchange Fellowship in the United States in 1966, McLeod served as director of the National Water and Soil Conservation Authority from 1966 to 1971.[9] He was appointed Commissioner of Works, succeeding Jim Macky, in 1973,[1][8][10][11] and served in that capacity until his retirement in 1981, when he was succeeded by Jack Chesterman.[12] In the 1981 Queen's Birthday Honours, McLeod was appointed a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George, in recognition of his service as commissioner.[13] Later life and deathMcLeod's wife, Ella, was active in community activities, including 15 years as a member of the Wellington Hospital Board from 1974 to 1989.[8] In the 1982 Queen's Birthday Honours, she was awarded the Queen's Service Medal for community service.[14] She died on 20 June 2011.[8] Colin McLeod died in Wellington on 6 April 2018.[15] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite web |url=https://natlib.govt.nz/records/35856405 |title=Interview with Colin McLeod
