Ian McLeod: Chance & Challenge
Ian’s story can also be a foundation for a wider McLeod chronicle. The window opens first on Ian's grandfather, Angus McLeod, sailing from Scotland to Australia in the mid-19th century with his wife Mary and their baby, Archibald. Decades of the ensuing history can be told on a family "website".
The long life of Ian McLeod is a thread
connecting us to his pre-war education and a variety of employment
opportunities, including the WA police force and running a delicatessen. Ian
was among the legions of Australians who answered the call during World War II.
He joined the Royal Australian Air Force and flew Tiger Moths.
