James Lusk: Letters & Memories by James Lusk
"James Lusk: Letters & Memories" by James Lusk is a poignant collection of letters written during World War I, likely composed in the early 20th century. 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 letters offer insights into Lusk's character—his dedication to duty, personal convictions, and
the impact of the war on both him and those around him. 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. The narrative shifts into the early stages of the war, where Lusk’s letters reflect his experiences in training, camp life, and preparations for deployment, illustrating both the external conflict of war and the internal struggles of a soldier devoted to his comrades and country.
