He had just turned nine when his father died in July 1934. He later wrote, "He had been ill for a long time, but had been strengthened by a deep and abiding Christian faith - and by the love and care (and equally deep faith) of his wife".〔(Crossing the borders of power: The memoirs of Colin Eglin, by Colin Eglin. Accessed on 30 November 2013 )〕 His mother died in 1958.〔Master of the High Court, Cape Town, Estate file 4132 of 1958.〕

He was then sent to a similar unit in Egypt and transferred to Italy. He took part in the South African assault on Monte Sole, after which the Allies broke through to the plains of Italy. After the War he remained in Italy for nine months, waiting for demobilisation. During this period he undertook extramural courses in Archaeology and Town Planning.
He graduated from the University of Cape Town with a BSc degree in quantity surveying in 1946.
