The late Ensign James Hulton Clutterbuck, 1854. Creator: Unknown
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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the image of The late Ensign James Hulton Clutterbuck, who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Crimean War in 1854. The young British soldier, aged at the time of his death, was a member of the Fourth Division of the Army of the East and had landed in the Crimea with his regiment. At the Battle of the Alma, Ensign Clutterbuck formed part of the Reserve. He was present at the Battle of Balaclava and the Battle of Inkerman, where he displayed remarkable courage and leadership. During the intense and brutal melee of the Fourth Division against the Russian column, Ensign Clutterbuck fell mortally wounded. His last words were reportedly, "Come on, 63rd!" as he received a fatal shot through the neck. The young officer was known for his engaging manners and intelligence, and had earned the affectionate interest and regard of many during his short military career. His tragic demise was widely reported in the press, including in the Illustrated London News, which published a tribute to him following his death. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought in the Crimean War, and of the young lives lost in the pursuit of peace and freedom.
