Hi guys

I'm interested in the British 'involvement in this tragic incident.

Apparently 11 British 'officer' POWs on board, of whom 8 lost their lives. On checking CWGC, I've located the following RAF/RAAF airmen whose date of death is recorded as 14 January 1943, and whose deaths are commemorated on the Alamein Memorial. Are these relevant?

Flg Off A.N. Austin 411726 RAAF
Flg Off W.G. Diehm 412049 RAAF
Flt Sgt G.H. Cameron 401416 RAAF
Sgt M.C. Harrison 408093 RAAF

Flt Sgt J.R. Gibbons 602828 RAF
Flt Lt H.G. Newman 62087 RAF (Malta Memorial)

British survivors included:
Maj J.W. Street (possibly others included Army POWs?)

Any contributions welcomed! Thanks

Stay safe
Brian
