G. B. (George Brenton) Laurie

G. B. Laurie is credited as the author of Letters of Lt.-Col. George Brenton Laurie, a book published by Project Gutenberg from an earlier printed edition. The book centers on the letters of George Brenton Laurie, a Nova Scotian officer in the Royal Irish Rifles who was born in 1867 and was killed in 1915 during the First World War.

The available sources make clear that the work is closely tied to George Brenton Laurie's life and service rather than offering much separate biographical detail about G. B. Laurie as an individual. In that sense, the author's role seems to be that of editor, compiler, or family representative preserving his correspondence for readers.

Because confirmed information about G. B. Laurie is limited in the sources I found, it is safest to describe the author as the credited presenter of these wartime letters rather than make stronger claims. What stands out most is the book's value as a personal and historical record, shaped by someone with a direct connection to the subject.
