Largely personal letters from Ryrie to his wife, one written in 1900, and the others beginning in 1914 at the outset of the war and continuing until 1919 when his wife joined him in Egypt. Most of the letters are written from Egypt, Gallipoli peninsula or Palestine. They also include letters he wrote to his daughters and son Jim during the same period and a few letters to Mrs. Ryrie from people serving with or in contact with her husband.
