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.
