Me.110's lost to 1Sq. on 11/5/40...

I'm reading They flew Hurricane's by Adrian Stewart, and he quote's Paul Richey's Fighter Pilot about 5 of 1Sq pilots shooting down 10 of 15 Me.110's who were providing cover for 30 Do.17's. He states-

Flt.lt J.Walker 1 possibly 2.
Fly.Off Brown 2.
" Kilmartin 2.
" Richey 2.
Flt.Sgt Soper 2.

Villagers of Rumigny saw 10 crash around the village, After the war German record's say only 2 were lost, even U.K after the war appraisals don't agree, can anyone provide the 10 Me.110's?
