COMDR. HARRY BUTCHER RIGHT THERE WITH THE KING EH WHAT*
Standing alongside of the King of England when he chatted with the paratroopers before the take-off for the invasion was none other than Commander Harry C. Butcher, of Washington, former VicePresident of the Columbia Broadcasting System, and now Naval Aide to General Eisenhower, This was shown in a U. S, Signal Corps Radiotelephoto which appeared on the front page of the New York Times today (Wednesday, June 7th), Harry had evidently been detailed by General Eisenhower as an aide to the King and was standing behind His Majesty as natural and pleasantly unconcerned as if he were among his old friends at home.
Broadcasts of the invasion take-off mentioned the fact Commander Butcher was constantly at the side of General Eisenhower.
