Obituary: Sean Crampton
Independent, The (London), Jul 23, 1999 by Nick Dewey

Since his death the family have discovered among his papers a hand-written reminiscence of the action in which he won the MC that he entitled simply “Battlefield”. Its chief interest lies in Crampton’s vivid recollection of an intense inner experience that occurred in the heat of battle when the principal events of his past life came to him in a flash and he was overwhelmed by an indescribable joy accompanied by the certain conviction of his own immortality. It was this experience that initiated his long spiritual journey, of which he had written more recently (in a beautiful essay on the subject of landscape) that “on pilgrimage you become part of a shared and sacred path and are integrated with the earth made holy by its saints”.
