Eric was never in the forces as a result of a motor accident before the war: he was knocked from his
pushbike in approximately 1928 and badly damaged his wrist, resulting in it being fused. It was this that prevented him from joining up.
During the war Eric was employed laying runways, a career that he
followed very successfully after the war, becoming the company's North
of England Regional Manager.
