Mousley is a memoir written in the early 20th century, specifically during the period following World War I. The book recounts the author's harrowing experiences as a British artillery officer during the Siege of Kut in Mesopotamia, highlighting themes of endurance, survival, and camaraderie amidst the chaos of war. It paints an authentic picture of life under siege, with insights into both the physical hardships and the psychological toll of battle. At the start of the memoir, the author introduces himself as Edward Mousley, a subaltern in the Royal Field Artillery, now entrenched in Kut-el-Amara as the Turkish forces lay siege to his outpost in 1915. The narrative focuses on his journey from India to Mesopotamia, where he and his fellow soldiers face the relentless challenges of military life in a hostile environment, marked by thirst, fatigue, and enemy fire. As he settles into his dug-out, Mousley poignantly describes the brutal conditions of war, the uneasy moments under fire, and the strong bonds formed among comrades during these dire circumstances, setting the stage for the detailed accounts of the siege to come.
