Yes it is him .he moved to Birmingham after getting married to Gwendoline and they separated after the war and I believe stayed there until he died in Kidderminster in 1985 .
 
There does appear to be at least one mention of Leslie in the newspapers.

4 Feb 1927, Western Mail. He was summoned for obtaining unemployment benefit by false representation - case dismissed. At that time (and in 1921) he was a wire drawer.
