Leaf was a volunteer officer in the Electrical Engineers, a volunteer unit of the Royal Engineers (RE). Their role was to supplement the regular Royal Engineers in wartime by operating searchlights to defend major ports in conjunction with minefields controlled by Volunteer companies of Submarine Miners, RE. Following the outbreak of the Second Boer War, Leaf volunteered for active service. Early in the war, Colonel Robert Baden-Powell improvised searchlights to deter night attacks during the Siege of Mafeking. Soon afterward a detachment of the Electrical Engineers Volunteers went to South Africa where they operated electric Arc lamp searchlights, the first use of such equipment by the Royal Engineers on campaign. Leaf was granted the temporary rank of Captain in the Army on 17 March 1900, and served with detachment, which was in South Africa from April to October 1900 in the Transvaal and Orange Free State.
