During the Suez Crisis elements of the 16th Independent Parachute Brigade led by Butler and a contingent of the Royal Tank Regiment set off south along the canal bank on 6 November 1956 to capture Ismailia.
Just before midnight Butler was ordered to stop on the hour, when a ceasefire would come into effect.
This raised a difficulty.
There were Egyptian forces ahead; the British column was in open desert with no defensible feature to hand.
Butler compromised, advancing until 0:15 am on 7 November 1956 to reach El Cap, where he sited the 2nd Battalion of the Parachute Regiment, with supporting detachments.
He was awarded a Bar to his Distinguished Service Order on 13 June 1957.
Butler was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire for service in Cyprus in 1957, a Companion of the Order of the Bath in the 1964 New Year Honours, and advanced to Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath in the 1968 New Year Honours.
Butler was General Officer Commanding 2nd Division from 1962 to 1964.
In 1964 Butler was appointed Assistant Chief of Defence Studies (Joint Warfare) and then in 1966 went on to be Commandant of the Staff College, Camberley.
He was also Colonel Commandant of the Parachute Regiment from 1967 to 1972.
From 1968 to 1970 he was General Officer Commanding 1 (British) Corps.
He was General Officer Commanding Army Strategic Command from 1970 to 1971 before going on to serve as Commandant of the Royal College of Defence Studies from January 1972 to 1973.
