Several months ago I ran across Lieutenant Harry Butters whom Winston Churchill met in April of 1916 while serving in Belgium and France. What made Lieutenant Butters special was that he was a native of San Francisco who moved to Britian so he could fight for England. Lieutenant Butters was killed in action on August 31, 1916 approprimately a month after he met Churchill. Several months ago I emailed Karen Bennet with a short excerpt from Martin Gilbert's The Churchill Documents Volume 7 in which Churchill mentions his association with Lieutenant Butters. Karen Bennet maintaines Harry Butters bio on FindAGrave.com . She has photos of Harry Butters which maybe found no were else except on FindAGrave.com. She updated the bio to include the small excerpt from Martin Gilbert's The Churchill Documents Volume 7. the weblink http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=92404221
