Daniel !
If this incident hapened on October 20th, 1944 in the area of Rennes, I am very sure, that a buriqal file of Lt. Butler is existing in the area. It may have been compiled by the french parish, he was initially buried, or he was buried at the numerous French U.S. Military Cemetaries in the liberated U.S. Zone.
At my knowledge, St. Avold U.S. Military Cemetary, Hamm (Luxembourg), Foy (Belgium) and Margraten (Netherlands) Cemetaries were established past December 25th, 1944 and no deceased prior this date found his rest at those Cemetaries.
1st. Lt. Harvey J. Butler was initially (for the Americans a regulary U.S. War Cemetary) buried in St. Avold, France, which indicates, that his incident may have happend probably in German occupied territory on Oct. 20th, 1944.
All the best,
Horst Weber
