Rob B Posted 11 August , 2019 Share Posted 11 August , 2019 I found this memorial in a small church in East Holme near Wareham in Dorset. As Lt Butler was attached to the RFC would he have been an Observer, and can any one cast any light on where he was killed and what type of bombing activity he was engaged in? My Grandfather was a DH 9 pilot with the RNAS in the Aegean in 1918 and he has an Army officer observing so just wondered if this was the same with young Armar. Many thanks.
