You are correct, I missed to put POW, and place of crash is Cerkvenjak, close to Ptuj.
But according to my record from MACR only 3 were PoW, Roland, Inman and Squires. Who was 4th?

It is place of crash of 24-52314, but also of 42-52225.
I took a look at Lowell's escape statement:
"Landed NW of Novo Mesto, about one mile. Both landed in near vicinity of ship."
I knew airmen fell near Novo Mesto, but I was not sure of plane.
