Frank Carruthers, Royal Navy of High Harrington,Cumbria was liberated by the Russians and then aided his liberators by taking up arms against the fanatical SS guards. Bottom part of paragraph.
Michael, Frank Carruthers went on to become editor of the weekly 'West Cumberland Times' until it became the 'Times and Star'. He used to write a weekly feature on various matters (local history, etc) for many years afterwards in the 'Times and Star' and 'News and Star'. I assume you would remember him?
I think many of his notebooks, photographs, cuttings of articles he wrote over the years were deposited in the County Archives, including some about the war. I believe he was originally from the Shap area but was better known in West Cumbria.
