The late Ensign James Hulton Clutterbuck, 1854. British soldier killed in the Crimean War. 'He landed in the Crimea with his regiment, which was in the Fourth Division of the Army of the East, and formed part of the Reserve at the battle of the Alma. He was present with his regiment at the battle of Balaclava, and at the battle of Inkerman...During the murderous melee of the Fourth Division...with the Russian column, he fell mortally wounded: "In the thick of it fell poor Mr. Clutterbuck, who was carrying the Queen's colour and cheering the men on. I think that the last words he said were, 'Come on, 63rd!' when he received a shot right through the neck, and died instantly". Ensign Clutterbuck was a young man of more than ordinary promise; and, by his engaging manners and intelligence, had won for himself, during his short career, a large amount of affectionate interest and regard'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
