Description
Three: Private W. F. Butler, Gloucestershire Regiment, who was killed in action at Gallipoli in the prelude to the Battle of Sari Bair on 4 August 1915
1914-15 Star (11093 Pte. W. F. Butler. Glouc: R.); British War and Victory Medals (1093 Pte. W. F. Butler. Glouc. R.) nearly extremely fine (3) £120-£160
---
Wilfred Francis Butler was born at Cirencester and served at Gallipoli with the 7th (Service) Battalion, Gloucestershire Regiment, from 19 June 1915. Deployed in the firing line above Cape Helles, the Battalion was heavily engaged on 23 July 1915 when called upon to assist the 7th North Staffordshire Regiment in repelling a Turkish attack. Disembarked from Gully Beach, the men briefly returned to Mudros on 29 July having incurred approximately 29 casualties.
Following this early introduction to trench warfare, the 13th (Western) Division - including the 9th Gloucestershire Regiment - were landed at Anzac Cove in preparation for the forthcoming August offensive which was designed to seize control of the peninsula; it was at around this time that Butler was killed in action on 4 August 1915. He has no known grave and is commemorated on the Helles Memorial, Turkey.
