---
Henry William Butler was born on 18 March 1924 and served with the 1st Battalion, Royal Sussex Regiment in Palestine. He died of a result of a fractured spine received in a reprisal attack following the deaths of 50 civilians in Ben Yehuda Street - the principal Jewish retail street in Jerusalem - which was shattered by a series of explosions blamed upon British forces; such was the anger of local witnesses that the troops and police who subsequently arrived to assist with the rescue work had to be withdrawn in the face of a hostile crowd. Aged 23 years, Butler is buried in Ramleh Cemetery.
