Gosh this is hard (but enjoyable)
I need help with one clue: Scot follows cardinal mostly about city in Ancient Greece (5)
Also for After returning fry teases ducks (7) I've got the answer as Garrots (teases is rag, but I don't understand the 'fry' part)
THen I hit a real problem . I've got the two groups of letters (top & bottom line) therefore I know the date, but I don't understand what is meant by "the total number relating to the date of this event"
and I can't fathom the "outline of a thematic shape" I realise it should be near the bottom and have looked for mushroom shapes in vain!
Any help gratefully received!
Thanks in advance!!

TEIAN, meaning about the city of Teos.
The total number of letters to remove is 45, this being the year of the event. (1945).

The letters removed make a very simplified mushroom shape rising from the bottom.

Thank you boreas!

Re Garrots, the "fry" part of the clue has an "a" dropped from previous clue into it so becomes fray = gar backwards; rots is an old term for "teases". A garrot is a colloquial term for goldeneye.
