Two of the authors were later popular novelists and writers and the third becoming the foremost authority on the history of the English language and particularly slang. Ralph Hale Mottram FRSL 1883 - 1971 was an English writer. A lifelong resident of Norfolk he was well known as a novelist in particular for his "Spanish Farm trilogy" and as a poet of World War I. John Easton was a popular English novelist and travel writer e.g. An Unfrequented Highway through Sikkim and Tibet to Chumolaori. Eric Honeywood Partridge 1894 - 1979 was a New Zealand-British lexicographer of the English language particularly of its slang. He was born in New Zealand but in 1908 the family moved to Queensland Australia where he studied classics and then French and English at the University of Queensland. During this time he also worked for three years as a schoolteacher. He enlised in the Australian Imperial Force in April 1915 and served in Egypt Gallipoli and on the Western Front before being wounded in the Battle of Pozières. His interest in slang and the "underside" of language is said to date from his wartime experience. He returned to university between 1919 and 1921 when he received his BA. He authored numerous books and articles on language with the best know being A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English first published in 1937.
