serving in the Merchant Navy, bringing supplies from Baltimore to

after embarking from New York, when he contracted pneumonia, and
possibly he also caught the flu, in New York, and died and was buried
at sea together with another shipmate. He had served on the ship

Extract
from Symbol of Courage by Max Arthur:
AFRICA
- Allied strategy in the war was concentrated on taking German colonies,
particularly Togoland, Cameroon, South-West Africa and German East
Africa. Fighting in 1914 was in West Africa, where an Anglo-French
invasion of Cameroon made swift progress, and in German East Africa,
where twelve thousand troops of the Indian Army's Expeditionary
Force C were thrown back after an ill-prepared attack on the main
port, Tanga.
BUTLER, John Fitzhardinge Paul Lieutenant, King's
Royal Rifle Corps, attached Pioneer Coy., Gold Coast Regiment
17 November 1914 – In the Cameroons
with a party of thirteen men he went into thick bush and attacked
and defeated a much greater force of the enemy. A machine-gun and
many loads of ammunition were captured. 27 December
1914 – Whilst on patrol duty with a few men,
he swam the Ekam River under heavy fire, carried out his reconnaissance
on the far bank and swam back to safety.
Lord Gifford VC was his uncle.
An
extract from The London Gazette dated 23rd August 1915:-
"For
most conspicuous bravery in the Cameroons, West Africa. On 17th
November, 1914, with a party of 13 men, he went into the thick bush
and at once attacked the enemy, in strength about 100, including
several Europeans, defeated them, and captured their machine gun
and many loads of ammunition. On 27th December, 1914, when on patrol
duty, with a few men, he swam the Ekam River, which was held by
the enemy, alone and in the face of a brisk fire, completed his
reconnaissance on the further bank, and returned in safety. Two
of his men were wounded while he was actually in the water".

a newspaper: “A tribute to the benefits of sport was paid
in his will by Lieut.-Colonel E. H. Trotter, D.S.O., Grenadier
Guards, who was killed in France in July. He left £25,170,
and bequeathed:— 'To the Grenadier Guards the regimental
cup which I won the first year I joined, in the hope that sport
of all sorts will long flourish in the regiment, it having been
my experience in all the wars I have been in that the best sportsman
makes the best soldier, and I should like this fact to be inscribed
on the cup.'"

Note:
Bath (Haycombe) Cemetery contains 290 burials of the Second World
War, most of them in the war graves plot. The plot was used by the
Royal Air Force as a regional cemetery and contains the graves of
airmen serving with the Commonwealth and allied air forces stationed
in the south-western counties. Alongside these graves are those
of men who served in squadrons of Coastal Command in their work
of patrol, searching for U-boats and providing convoy for shipping.
Many of the casualties came from the RAF station at Colerne. Bath
suffered heavily from attacks by German aircraft and a severe air
raid in April 1942 killed a number of servicemen at home on leave
with their families. They are buried with them in the cemetery.
In addition to the Commonwealth war graves, the cemetery contains
a number of war graves of other nationalities. |
