GLOUCESTERSHIRE HUSSARS
BRAVERY AT SL'VLA BAY LONDON, Oct. 11. Addressing a church parade of the Gloucestershire British Legion, Sir lan Hamilton said that the Poet Laureate ought to immortalise the advance of the Gloucestershire Hussars over the heavy sand of Suvla Bay. No eye-witnesses would forget the spectacle of four weak brigades, of about 350 men each, marching slowly into the jaws of death with cannons to the right and left of them. “It quite takes the shine out of the charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava,” he added.
