Bobby Oxspring and Sheep Gilroy

I read somewhere that Bobby Oxspring was removed from command of 72 Squadron by Sheep Gilroy in April 1943 when he was became unwell before a mission. Gilroy wanted him court-martialed. Can anyone confirm this (I have lost the reference). Oxspring had been on operations for two years so it wasn't surprising. Tony Bartley had suffered a similar breakdown in January 1943.

regards
