David Cooper (1947-54) writes:
“John Martin was one of the three Martins who were in the same year at School. John was a decent spin bowler and not bad with a bat. Leaving school he read geography at St. Catherine’s and began a career in advertising, copy writing for firms in London. He bought a house in Winchester but rather lost contact with his Cowley contemporaries. We do not know if he had any dependants. If he had not taken up a place at St. Catherine’s, I probably would not have gone over the wall 57 years ago to study geography at St Peter’s.”
