Martin Marix Evans 1939 – 2020 It is with great sadness that I have to share the news of Martin's passing away due to Covid-19 in the early hours of Thursday morning. He had acquired the virus during a recent spell in hospital with heart complications, and though initially in good health, his condition rapidly deteriorated and he was readmitted but failed to pull through. Many of you will know Martin's work through his Osprey title on Naseby. He was a widely respected historian and campaigner for battlefield heritage and protection, a founder member of the Battlefields Trust and one of the three enthusiasts who metal-detected Naseby and led the campaign to protect the battlefield from development (and the A14) … All who came into contact with Martin will remember with fondness his genial good nature and unselfish support for fellow historians and battlefield volunteers. He leaves a massive gap in the community of military historians. Phil Steele

Sad news, indeed. How terrible that he caught the virus in a hospital, where he should have been safe. |

Very sad to hear, he will be much missed by even those of us who just read his works, but never met him. |

That is sad news. Just last week I read his book "1918 A year of Victories". |
