Overview

Lieutenant General Sir Richard Harte Keatinge Butler, KCB, KCMG (1870-1935), who is tall and imposing enough to carry off such a name, travels from Shropshire to open, with some help, the British Legion Club in Flint and to lay a wreath on the local war memorial that was unveiled in 1926. The opening is believed to have taken place in 1928.
