No specific information in Footprints in the sand (Clutton-Brock), but they may be listed in 'Mauthausen: The History of a Death Camp' by Evelyn le Chene.

Some written history here online, but no names of POWs.

Here's a link to an interesting article on the 47airmen sent to Buchenwald in 1944.

Re: 47 allied airmen killed in KZ Camp-who were they?
 

Not sure where you're getting 47 from, kaki.

The number was 168. One escaped from the train on the way there (American in the RCAF) and two died in the camp (one RAF and one USAAF)
