I'm looking for photos / sketches / portraits of him for the CPS project's history book.

Dates of birth & death from the Dictionary of Hong Kong Biography.

He joined the civil service as a Cadet in 1922. A search for butters in HKGRO finds several mentions of appointments connected to the CPS:

5. GA 1925 no. 217 Mr. H. R. Butters to act as Second Police Magistrate
9. GA 1930 no. 436 Mr. H. R. Butters to be a Police Magistrate
10. GA 1930 no. 599 Mr. H. R. Butters to be Police Magistrate, Kowloon
12. GA 1932 no. 604 Mr. H. R. Butters to be Police Magistrate, Kowloon
21. GA 1938 no. 202 Mr. H. R. Butters to be First Police Magistrate
23. GA 1938 no. 28 Mr. H. R. Butters to be Police Magistrate, Kowloon

I searched for butters in

  • the photo search at HKPRO: nothing
  • HK Public Library photo collection: nothing
  • HK Museum of History: nothing

He served in Legco, but they don't have a photograph: http://app.legco.gov.hk/member_front/english/library/member_detail.aspx?id=314

No relevant results for butters hong kong in the UKNA.

I haven't found any family tree pages for him.
