\r\nFriday 4
\r\nLittle warmer, wind dropped but dull but with some slight rain in
\r\nevening
\r\n
\r\nHeard today of Sgt Peter Butlin RAF picked up from water xx been in 3
\r\nor 4 weeks. Tomorrow morning funeral from Hospital Chapel, many of us
\r\ndetermined to go. Over 100 wreaths, many of them in Red White and
\r\nBlue, have been sent. The Bailiff, is to attend funeral service.
\r\nGermans insist no demonstration and all police force warned for
\r\ntomorrow morning to keep people from getting near. In afternoon I had
\r\na meeting with JAC & presented my accounts which were all approved.
\r\n
\r\nSaturday 5
\r\nDull weather, little rain
\r\nGot up early 6.25 to go to the funeral of RAF pilot picked up off the
\r\ncoast. Ted Le Cocq, George Boudin & Kay were going with me but just
\r\nbefore we had got as far as the STxx we met Leslie Sinel who told us

\r\ndetermined to go. Over 100 wreaths, many of them in Red White and
\r\nBlue, have been sent. The Bailiff, is to attend funeral service.
\r\nGermans insist no demonstration and all police force warned for
\r\ntomorrow morning to keep people from getting near. In afternoon I had
\r\na meeting with JAC & presented my accounts which were all approved.
\r\n
\r\nSaturday 5
\r\nDull weather, little rain
\r\nGot up early 6.25 to go to the funeral of RAF pilot picked up off the
\r\ncoast. Ted Le Cocq, George Boudin & Kay were going with me but just
\r\nbefore we had got as far as the STxx we met Leslie Sinel who told us
\r\nfuneral had been postponed as another RAF body had been found and both
\r\nwere to be buried tomorrow morning.
\r\n
\r\nNote from editor the other RAF pilot was Sgt. Holden
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nSunday 6
\r\nFair weather, wind dropped.
\r\nRise early to attend funeral, left Kay in bed, Ted, Bill and George
\r\nBoudin went with me, we stood on Parade in front of Hospital Chapel, I
\r\nthought it only appropriate. Two hearses had several fine wreaths in
\r\nRed White and Blue and two Mourning candles, the coffins covered with
\r\nUnion Jacks and with a wreath from the people of Jersey and one from
\r\nthe Luftwaffe. Impressed to see German Officer Cepperice standing to
\r\nsalute when the coffins were placed in the hearse. Upwards of 1,000 and
\r\nmany more lining the route to the cemetery. Afterwards I went to mass
\r\nand then to the EP office were met Censor Baumer, story of the report
\r\nof the funeral was there prepared.
\r\n-----------------------------------------------------
\r\nButlin and Holden were repatriated after the war.
