Leonard was the son of Major General Leonard R. Wood, Sr. and Louise Adriana Wood. He died of pneumonia at Bellevue Hospital in New York City.
When World War I started in Europe in 1914, Leonard was a student at Cornell University. When the call for American participation grew urgent in 1916, he went to England and volunteered in the British Army. When the United States entered the war the next year, Leonard got a transfer to the American Army and served as a Lieutenant with the Eighty-first Division. After the armistice he served in the military secret service of Army Occupation at Coblenz for a while, but army life in peacetime did not prove to his liking.
Another entry on arlington.net states Leonard served in Europe as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Ambulance Corps.
He was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army in 1919.
At Cornell, he became a brother of the New York Beta chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon (SigEp) Fraternity, and was a member of the Class of 1918. (Note: the 1917 Cornell University Yearbook listed him as a Senior)
