I have this lad listed on my database as he is listed on the Australian Commemorative Roll which remembers those Australians who were killed whilst part of another Allied Force.

I am yet to find any connection to Australia, and his biography seems to confirm no association however someone put him forward for Commemoration with some written detail which I will investigate.

Information from: Battle of Britain London Monument - Sgt. S L BUTTERFIELD



563441 Butterfield, Samuel Leslie Sgt. 11-Aug-40 27 Boulogne Eastern Cemetery, France. DFM. Pilot, 213 Squadron. Hawker Hurricane I P3789, AK-P. On Patrol, shot down off Portland at 11:00.

Samuel Leslie Butterfield was born in Leeds and educated at Watford Boys Grammar School. He joined the RAF as an apprentice in September 1929 and later progressed to pilot training. He was with 213 Squadron in early 1940. On May 17th the squadron was sent to Merville in France and took part in defensive patrols, bomber escorts and army support operations until it was withdrawn on the 21st. It continued to operate over France from Biggin Hill and in a period of several days Butterfield shared in the destruction of two Hs126’s and a Do17.

On May 28th over Dunkirk 213 engaged a large enemy force. Butterfield shot down two Me109’s and a Ju88. He was then attacked by a Me110 which he destroyed but his Hurricane suffered three more hits and was set on fire. He baled out and was picked up by a passing ship, the paddle steamer ‘Sundown’, which landed him at Margate.
Three days later Butterfield destroyed a Me109 and probably another. He was awarded the DFM (gazetted 14th June 1940).

He failed to return from a combat over Portland on August 11th 1940. His body was washed up on the French coast and he is buried in Boulogne Eastern Cemetery.
Butterfield was 27 years old.
His Hurricane, P3789, was subsequently found on the seabed off Lulworth, Dorset.

“On 6/9/39 my son went with his Squadron to France. About mid October 1939 whilst
formating on his Squadron Leader who lost his direction and had to land in Belgium,
they were both interned first at the Headquarters of the Gendarmerie in Brussels, and
then transferred to a mediaeval fortress outside Antwerp, where about 40 RAF
personnel, namely bomber crew, were interned.
He received high commendation from the Air Ministry for his part in planning and
carrying out the escape of his Sqn Leader, another 87 Sqn pilot and himself. In what
had to date been looked at as an impenetrable fortress. They were helped by British
agents,
and returned to their squadron in France, in disguise after being hidden in various
