BiographyEdridge was at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, receiving the Waterloo Medal for his service. In 1820 he joined the Royal Artillery, and was stationed with the Sixth Battalion at Gibraltar between 1830 and 1834. During this stay he painted a series of watercolours, mostly now housed with the Gibraltar Museum.[3] Soldiering could not have been Edridge's passion in life, for he still held the rank of lieutenant by the time he left Gibraltar in 1834. The garrison there had a good reputation in the eyes of its officers who were mainly of the hunting, shooting and fishing persuasion. Edridge found diversion in his painting, a pastime he seemed to have discovered for himself. His works - mainly watercolours - verged on the naive, but have great charm and document an interesting period in the history of Gibraltar.[4] {{commons category}}Edridge died in Woolwich at the age of 41.[1] References1. ^1 "The Gentleman's magazine" - Volume 170 - Page 553 {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Eldridge, Frederick Leeds}}2. ^Will of Frederick Leeds Edridge 3. ^Rough Seas in the Med 4. ^"The People of Gibraltar" 5 : 1800 births|1841 deaths|19th-century English painters|English male painters|People from Gibraltar |
