== Early life and war service ==
Eric Robert Irvin was born 30 November 1908 in Newtown, New South Wales. After attending Bondi Public School, he was apprenticed to a Bondi chemist in 1922 while studying at night at Waverley Grammar school. He enrolled in East Sydney Technical College classes in art and window display and worked in various department stores. He battled for much of the depression years before gaining a post teaching art in Catholic girls' schools in the mid 1930s. On 31 May 1940 he enlisted with the 7th Australian Divisional Signals and saw service in the Middle East and Papua New Guinea where he took part in the Kokoda Trail, Buna and Ramu Valley campaigns. He was discharged with rank of Lieutenant on 29 November 1945.〔〔(NX19329 Irvin, Eric Robert ) in "World War Two Nominal Roll" (database online), Commonwealth of Australia, 2002 accessed 2 October 2011.〕
In this period he had poems accepted for publication, much of the early poems in the ''Sydney Morning Herald'' and his war-time poetry in the ''Bulletin''. From New Guinea he had a survey of war-time poetry, "Australian Poets of This War" published in ''The Australian Quarterly''. His own first volume, ''A Soldier's Miscellany'', was accepted for publication but delayed until 1945 by the war-time paper shortage.〔〔Eric Irvin, ("Australian Poets of This War" ), ''The Australian Quarterly'' Vol 16, no 2 (June, 1944), pp 89-94, accessed 1 October 2011.〕
