On this day in history, we can remember Harry Butters, who served as an American soldier but also served in the British Army during WWI. Harry Butters was highly educated and inherited his fortune from his father. On August 31, 1916, Harry was ultimately killed during the “Battle of Somme” during his military service. Winston Churchill, who wrote Harry’s epitaph, regarded Harry as one of the brightest, cheeriest fellows Winston had the pleasure to get to know. Winston Churchill recognized Harry’s “nobility” was his compassion for others that Harry offered of his own free will. Today, we have the remarkable opportunity not to remember Harry for his death but maybe for something more profound his love, compassion, and dedication to all humanity! #historymysteries
