Kenneth Trevor Woodruff- died 1948- see the Whitehaven News 3 June 1948 page 5 column c. I have assigned this death above to the Berlin airlift, but strictly it is the British Army of Occupation on the Rhine.
He lived at Mainsgate Road, Millom.
He died in Isierohn Hospital, Germany. He had fallen while dismounting from a truck which was still in motion the day before his death. He was overdue to be demobilised but was still serving due to a shortage of NCO's in his unit.
He had attended Millom Grammar School, and then worked for the Surveyors Department of Millom Rural District Council before joining the Army in late 1945.
His father was a noted Opera Singer in the area.
His body was returned to Millom, and he is buried in Grave 300 of Millom Cemetery. This is in the section against the far or West wall of the Cemetery, the third row from the wall, the 14th grave from the South end of the row. There is a family gravestone at the plot commemorating him.
