He was last seen alive attending to Colonel Earle of the Grenadiers, who had been wounded. Colonel Earle lost consciousness, and was therefore unable to confirm with any certainly the John had been killed, however, despite searches on prisoner of war or casualties lists, John disappeared without trace that day. His death was accepted in 1916 that he must have been killed. He was the son of Colonel Edward Butt (A.M.S.) of "Brucefield" Dunfermline and the late Helen Mary Butt.
