Carruthers Field; WWI Air Services

Clan Carruthers Int Society CCIS                                                       Promptus et Fidelis

 

 

Carruthers Field : WWI Air Services, Benbrook Texas

Benbrook Field           Carruthers Field                   Camp Taliaferro Field #3

 

Benbrook Field, Carruthers Field (Camp Taliaferro Field #3) is a former World War Imilitary airfield, located 0.5 miles (0.80 km) North of Benbrook, Texas. It operated as a training field for the Air Service, United States Army between 1917 until 1919. It was one of thirty-two Air Service training camps established after the United States entry into World War I in April 1917.

 

 

 

After the United States’ entry into World War I in April 1917, General John J. “Blackjack” Pershing invited the British Royal Flying Corps to establish training fields in Texas for the training of American and Canadians volunteers because of its mild weather. After looking at sites in Dallas, Fort Worth, Waco, Austin, Wichita Falls and Midland, three sites were established in 1917 in the Fort Worth vicinity (known as the “Flying Triangle.”), those being Hicks Field (#1), Barron Field (#2), and Benbrook Field (#3).

Canadians named the training complex Camp Taliaferro after Walter Taliaferro, a US aviator who had been killed in an accident. Camp Taliaferro was headquartered under the direction of the Air Service, United States Army, which had an administration center near what is now the Will Rodgers Memorial Center in Fort Worth, Texas.

Taliafero Field No. 3 was used by the Royal Flying Corps from October 1917 to April 1918 as a training field for American and Canadian pilots. It was then turned over to the Air Service, United States Army. The Americans renamed the field Carruthers Field after Cadet W. K. Carruthers, who was killed at Hazelhurst Field, New York, when he was struck by a revolving propeller on 18 June 1917. At some point after July 1918 it was renamed Benbrook Fieldby the United States Army.

The Benbrook Field station area was located south of Mercedes Street in Benbrook. It occupied the area west of Winscott Road, being bordered on the west by Walnut Creek. A railroad spur connected with the Texas & Pacific line across Walnut Creek. Most of the 34 buildings and hangars were located in an area generally bounded by Mercedes Street on the north, Winscott Road on the east, Cozby North Street on the south, and Walnut Creek on the west.

Benbrook was used as an aerial gunnery school for American & Canadian students. One particular Canadian aviator, Captain Vernon Castle, was already world-renowned as the famed dance team of Vernon & Irene Castle. Regrettably, he was killed in a plane crash at Benbrook Field during training exercises. Some witnesses believed that he deliberately crashed in order to avoid hitting another plane, and saved their lives. His burial was witnessed by thousands of mourners, who sadly watched the flagged draped casket pass in downtown Fort Worth. Even today, there is a street in Benbrook named in his honor.

 

Benbrook Field was closed at the end of April, 1919 and the buildings dismantled. Following the closure, the land was purchased by William Monnig and was used as a dairy. Today, the entire area has been redeveloped into what is now the Benbrook Lakeside subdivision. Intermixed within the houses are small, broken, isolated concrete slabs, the remainders of wartime buildings and hangars. The last remaining building was an ammunition warehouse west of U.S. 377 that was demolished in 2004 to facilitate future commercial development. Today a Texas historical marker for the airfield is located north of Mercedes Street, across the street from the Ridge Community Church as a memorial to the fliers of Benbrook Field.

Euclid Carouthers

When Euclid Carouthers was born on January 23, 1833, in Lafayette, Louisiana, his father, Jean John Arvelien Caruthers  (1806 – 1896), was 26 and his mother, Louise Marie Thibodeaux (1811 – 1896), was 21.

He married Rachel Young(1832-1911),  on December 22, 1853, in Harris, Texas.

They had two children ( John Carouthers ( 1854 – 1925) and Elizabeth Carouthers West (1859-1944) during their marriage.

Euclid served in the United States Civil War as a private in the Army. State Served ,Texas Service Record :Enlisted in Company B, Texas Waul’s Legion Cavalry Battalion.

Waul’s Legiion, the only true military unit from Texas to serve in the Civil War.

WAUL’S TEXAS LEGION. A legion is a military unit composed of infantry, cavalry, and artillery components. Waul’s Texas Legion, the only true legion of Texas troops in the Confederate States army, was raised in and around Brenham in spring of 1862 by Thomas Neville Waul. It originally consisted of twelve companies of infantry, six companies of cavalry, and a six-gun battery of field artillery with a total complement of 2,000 men. The first infantry battalion was originally commanded by Lt. Col. Barnard Timmons and the second by Lt. Col. James Wrigley. The cavalry battalion was first led by Lt. Col. Leonodias Willis and the artillery battery by Capt. William Edgar. The legion was assigned first to Arkansas and Louisiana.

There, owing to the difficulty associated with commanding mixed arms, it was stripped of its cavalry and artillery components. In October 1862 the infantry companies were transferred to Mississippi and reorganized into two battalions of six companies each. Attached to Gen. John C. Pemberton’s Army of Vicksburg, the legion played a stalwart role in that city’s defense. With the exception of a single company, then on detached duty, it was captured with the fall of Vicksburg on July 4, 1863. Paroled by mid-July, the members of the legion reorganized in Houston and were assigned to duty protecting the Texas coast in the region of Galveston. With Waul’s promotion to brigadier general, Timmons was promoted to colonel and assumed command of the legion, serving in that capacity until the end of the war.

He died on July 10, 1874, in Batson, Texas, at the age of 41, and was buried in Abshier  Cemetery ,Hankamer, TX 77560, Texas.
