L/Cpl. Frederick Charles Butler, No. 1 Canadian Provost Company, RCMP (L34021)

On 10th December 1943 L/Cpl. Butler, was on point duty on an exposed bridge, about one half mile WEST of SAN VITO mr 360115/365115 which was being heavily shelled by the enemy. Important convoys moving up to support an attack then in progress were continually passing his post and it was essential that the strictest control be maintained of this traffic so that the delivery of essential supplies and equipment to the forward troops should not be delayed. Twice during the shelling L/Cpl. Butler was showered with debris from exploding shells, but he stayed at his post and with the greatest cheerfulness and determination continued for six hours to direct traffic. Through his skill, devotion to duty and courage these important convoys were able to move without delay and with a minimum of casualties through the danger area to their destination.
