Pte. Harry William George Butler Northamptonshire Regiment (d.12th Sept 1917)
My paternal great-uncle Harry Butler lived in Egham, Surrey but joined the Northamptonshire Regiment in Woolwich in 1915. His record shows some of the horrors these men went through. In 1916 he suffered pleurisy, paratyphoid and gastritis and was sent home briefly but returned to France in 1917. He was also wounded. His records show he suffered a GSW head, which presumably means a gunshot wound to the head. He was repatriated to the Kitchener Hospital in Brighton but died there on 12th September 1917. He is buried in the WW1 section of Bear Road Cemetery in Brighton. He left a widow but probably no children.Pam Bartlett
