Personal life
Butler supplemented his football income by working as an engine cleaner for the South East Railway Company.[1] During the First World War, he served as a corporal in the 1st Football Battalion of the Middlesex Regiment.[2] On 3 May 1916, Butler was wounded in the right leg by a shell during urban combat in Liévin, France.[3] The leg was subsequently amputated and he died as a result 10 days later at No.22 Casualty Clearing Station in Bruay-la-Buissière.[1] Butler left a widow, Kate and two sons and was buried in Bruay Communal Cemetery Extension.[4][5][2] Butler's will, in which he left everything to Kate, survives and is in the archives of Her Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service.[2]
