I recently noticed this story about Siegfried Sassoon’s notebooks being archived at Cambridge University. Sassoon was a poet who refused to return to fight after being wounded in World War I. (Read Pat Barker’s novel Regeneration for an interesting perspective on his story.) The archive contains, among other things “Sassoon’s journals [and]  pocket notebooks compiled on the Western Front.”

And don’t these images just make you drool?

Maybe I should award good old Siegfried the posthumous honor of being an Addict of the Week!
