Life
Logie Leggatt was born on the 24 September 1894 at St. John's Hill, Bangalore and was educated at Eton College and King's College, Cambridge.

Leggatt was a successful schoolboy cricketer in a strong Eton side and scored 74 against Winchester in 1913. Going up to Cambridge in 1914 he made some big scores in Trial Matches but was unable to establish himself in the eleven. He played in just the one first-class match for Cambridge against Yorkshire and was dismissed by England internationals in each innings: Wilfred Rhodes for 3 in the first and Major Booth for 6 in the second.

Leggatt was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the Coldstream Guards and was killed at Pilckem Ridge, Belgium on the 31 July 1917, the opening day of the Battle of Passchendale.
