Survivor of the Light Brigade tells of Balaklava Charge

THE last known survivor of the Light Brigade - immortalized by Tennyson after its charge against the Russian batteries at Balaklava on October 23 ( ? ) 1854 - is a hale and hearty citizen of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Though Ellis T. Cutting has just celebrated his eighty-seventh birthday - he looks as young as many men of 60 -  reads his newspaper without glasses and takes a two-mile walk every pretty day.
