Son of William Wilson Colledge and Mary A. Colledge, of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.

On the 1st July 1943, Flt Lt Colledge was one of an entire aircrew killed during a non-operational instruction flight over Wiltshire, England. The aircraft (Oxford X6858) took off from RAF Hullavington. Flt Lt Colledge was the Instructor Pilot for this flight, and although he instructed his pupil not to fly below the minimum height of 250 feet the aircraft crashed on the edge of a wood in the low-flying area having struck the tops of trees.
