Series consists of transcripts of letters, 1854-1856, written by Irvine to his family in Quebec City while he was serving in the British Army and as a combattant in the Crimean War. The letters describe his 1854 posting in India, and to the Crimea as an Allied combattant, as well as recording his impressions of the Ottamans, the assistance which the Ottamans were providing to the Allies and the Battle fields in Balaclava. He did note write about any battle experiences but principally of the damages wrought by the combattants on the Crimea and of the general disorganized conditions in the Allied ranks.
