On 5th August 1916, Lt George Butterworth of the 13th Durham Light Infantry was shot by a sniper during a trench raid near Pozieres. It might’ve been the early end of the life of just another young officer in WW1, but unknown to most of his fellow officers and men, George Sainton Kaye Butterworth was a celebrated composer.
