The book chronicles the life and experiences of Captain James Lusk of the 6th Battalion The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) through his personal correspondence, particularly focusing on his time before and during the war.

The opening of the volume introduces Captain Lusk’s life, detailing his background, education, and character as perceived by his peers, establishing him as a deeply committed and principled individual. It emphasizes his desire to serve, his relationships, and the respect he garnered from family members and fellow soldiers alike.
