Who was George Butterworth?
George Butterworth worked as a British political, strip and sports cartoonist, and later as a book illustrator. During World War II his cartoon Maltese Cross in the Daily Dispatch gave groundswell to the island receiving the George Cross for heroism in April 1942. Butterworth's lampoons of Hitler garnered him enough attention to place him on the dictator's "Death List." An avid football supporter, he provided illustrations for the Manchester United F.C. programmes from 1933 until 1958.
