James Lusk: Letters & Memories

A collection of letters and memories presents a portrait of a respected individual whose established civilian career and community service gave way to military duty. Arranged chronologically, the material moves from prewar biography and training to front-line experiences and intense engagements, closing with the author's last weeks and posthumous tributes. Personal correspondence to family combines with comrades' appreciations to convey his leadership, daily hardships of war, devotion to duty, and the private affections and convictions that shaped his conduct.
