Re: july 1943, Lancasters over north italy
Murray was not Australian but English: Sgt (Nav.) Eric Anthony Murray (note different order of names) is buried in El Alia cemetery and his death date is given as the 17th of July 1943, so is coherent with a raid on the 16th-17th (the 207 Sqn loss this night took off from UK on 2232 onthe 16th, so the bombing should have taken place in the early hours of the 17th).
Also the 467 Sqn that crash-landed and burned in North Africa on the 16th-17th has the following crew:
F/O H B Locke RAAF
Sgt W G Holt
Sgt H H assall
Sgt F Townsend
Sgt R Butler
Sgt F J Champ
Sgt T Munro
