L/Cpl. Frank Albert "Nobble" Cherries
British Army 9th Btn. Parachute Regt
from:Southampton, Hants.
(d.18th Apr 1945)
Frank Cherries was my sister in law's cousin and at the beginning of the war as youngsters we all hung out together, spending time with our parents. He was a pow at Stalag 4B having been captured at Arnhem. We understand that when released by allied forces that during some kind of fracas, shots were exchange between the American and Russian forces. It was during the exchange of fire that he was killed.
