Anthony Patrick Babington (4 April 1920, County Cork – 10 May 2004, London) was an Anglo-Irish author, judge and Army officer.

Early life

Babington was born in County Cork in 1920 to Oscar John Gilmore Babington (1879–1930), also an Army officer, and his wife Annie Honor Wrixon (1878–1975).[1] Among his cousins were Sir Anthony Babington and Robert Babington, a recipient of the Distinguished Service Cross.[2][3]

In the early stages of his life, Babington grew up in India and England. However, Babington's father died of alcoholism when he was aged 10, so the family were forced to sell their estate in Cork. Babington, his mother and two siblings were continuing to live at Kenley Court, where they had been living in Surrey, in reduced circumstances, whilst Babington attended Reading School, having originally been set to go to Eton College.[4][5][6]

Military service

Babington was commissioned as an officer and served in the Second World War with the Royal Ulster Rifles and then the Dorset Regiment. In 1944, Babington was injured in the Battle of Arnhem and left for dead until slight movements were detected. It was widely believed that Babington would never be able to walk or talk again, but whilst recuperating at St Hugh's College, Oxford he was able to learn to speak and write, using his left-hand, and eventually to walk.[7][6] He was later awarded the Croix de Guerre for his war service.[8]

Legal career

He was called to the Bar by Middle Temple in 1948, and was eventually appointed a Bencher in 1977.[5] In 1964 he became a metropolitan stipendary magistrate and from 1972 until 1987 he was a circuit judge.

In 1995, he was appointed an Honorary Bencher of King's Inns in Dublin by then President Mary Robinson.[5]

Personal life

Latterly in his life, Babington was in a relationship with Josephine Pullein-Thompson. Babington, at the request of Pullein-Thompson, was active for many years in the writers' organisation PEN International, and he often acted unofficially as a legal adviser. He became a campaigner for increased awareness of disabled people, particularly those leaving the military.[9]
