I'm not sure if people share stories here (or read the ones that are shared) but fwiw, I've got a new story out in @newyorker.com today that means a great deal to me. It's about a writer I love, and an amazing cache of long-lost photographs from WW1: www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...
The First World War, in Sharp Focus
An English chronicler of the trenches, and his wartime romance, captured in long-lost photographs.

'Bosser' Martin, the head groundsman at The Oval from 1924 up to WW2, supervising preparations for the 5th Ashes Test, August 16th 1934. His heavily doctored bat-friendly pitches were infamous, culminating in England scoring 903 for 7 in 1938
