Eric: The Autobiography of Eric Langridge
A Life Forged in Poverty, Built on Love
He made a man of himself without a blueprint, and became the father he never had.
In 1925 London, Eric Langridge was born into absolute poverty. This is the raw, unvarnished story of a life defined by sheer grit and the refusal to be broken. From the regimented life of St. Luke’s orphanage to being seconded for the war effort, and working at the Greenham Common airbase, Eric chronicles a forgotten era of British history.
His story is one of simple finding love with his wife, Olive (a marriage that lasted over 50 years), and ultimately achieving the quiet dignity he deserved—a devoted family.
Eric is a powerful testament to the "Forgotten Generation" and proof that true victory is found not in fame, but in legacy.
