This collection features letters penned by Lieutenant Colonel Laurie during World War I, specifically capturing his experiences from November 1914 to March 1915 as he commanded the 1st Battalion Royal Irish Rifles.

The letters vividly describe the relentless mud, difficult living conditions, and the constant threats posed by enemy fire.
