Dorsetshire by Japanese aircraft in the Bay of Bengal, April 5, 1942.

Charles Philip Buttar was born at Bayswater, London on the 26th of January 1902 the son of Dr Charles Buttar MD OW and Georgianna Isabel (nee Syrett) Buttar of 10, Kensington Square Gardens in London. He was christened at Bayswater on the 7th of April 1902. He was educated at Westminster School where he was up Grant’s from the 29th of April 1915 to December 1918.
He entered the Royal Navy on a Special Entry Cadetship on the 8th of September 1920 and was appointed as a Midshipman on the 8th of January 1922. He joined the battleship HMS Valiant for engineering training on the 15th of January 1922 and went on to the Royal Naval Engineering College, Keyham for further engineering training on the 4th of May 1922. He was commissioned as a Sub Lieutenant on the 15th of December 1923. He was promoted to Acting Lieutenant (E) on the 15th of February 1926 and to Engineer Lieutenant Commander on the 15th of February 1934.
He was married at St Philip’s Church, Kensington on the 17th of July 1930 to Margaret Elaine (Goodfellow, nee Stanford) and they lived at 131, Banbury Road, Oxford. They had a daughter, Susannah, born on the 15th of August 1933. He was serving on board HMS Coventry at the time and was later posted to the heavy cruiser HMS Dorsetshire (40). He was promoted to Commander (E) on the 30th of June 1938.
At the beginning of April 1942, HMS Dorsetshire, under the command of Captain Augustus Willington Shelton Agar VC, DSO RN, was undergoing a refit at Colombo, Ceylon, in order to increase her anti aircraft armament, when she was ordered to put to sea as British Intelligence had warned her that a Japanese battle fleet was approaching Ceylon from the east.
At 10pm on the evening of the 4th of April 1942, HMS Dorsetshire, and the heavy cruiser HMS Cornwall (56) set sail from Colombo and headed towards the Maldives where they were to rendezvous with other ships at 4pm the following day. At dawn on the 5th of April 1942 they were sailing in waters some 300 miles to the south west of Ceylon when action stations were sounded.
At 1pm a Japanese reconnaissance aircraft was spotted which was followed a short time later by 53 Japanese “Val” dive bombers which had been launched from enemy aircraft carriers and began to attack the ship from out of the sun at 1.40pm. In spite of fierce resistance from the crew, HMS Dorsetshire was struck ten times by 250lbs and 500lbs bombs and had several near missies. Her magazine was struck during the attack and she sank in just eight minutes. HMS Cornwall was also sunk. Captain Agar survived the sinking but Charles Buttar was one of two hundred and twenty-seven of his crew who did not. The survivors of both ships were in the water for some thirty hours before being picked up by the cruiser HMS Enterprise and the destroyers HMS Paladin and HMS Panther.
He is commemorated on the Plymouth Naval Memorial Panel 63, Column 1.
