This section contains printed information about the Scottish Horse Brigade in 1915, part II of the printed report of the Dardanelles Commission and a small group of instructions, reports, notes, and maps related to Butler's work as an intelligence officer on the General Staff in France.

The collection is comprised of letters, writings, documents, printed material, and photographs relating to Sir James Butler's life and work, as well as a considerable amount of papers belonging to members of his family, particularly his father Henry Montagu Butler, who served as Master of Trinity from 1886 to 1918. H. M. Butler's papers include a large group of correspondence, writings, appointment diaries, travel journals, and photographs. There are also significant groups of papers relating to Sir James's grandfather George Butler, headmaster of Harrow, and Sir James's brother Gordon, who died in World War I, and smaller groups of papers relating to his mother Agnata Butler and his brother Sir Nevile Butler.
