Re: USAAF Survivors from Sinking of Italian Submarine Narvalo - 14 Jan. 1943
A British casualty was Lt John Benham Turner, 11th Hussars, according a 2005 post on wwtalk.com.
A 2007 story in the Colchester Gazette/Standard tells that the Italian submarine may have been torpedoed by a British ship his brother Hugh was serving on... However, this ship was HMS Porpoise, an RN submarine. Not sure if this sub was in any way involved. In a tank regiment like the 11th Hussars, you also have squadrons... Also see this Italian website with name of Turner and all Italian casualties: http://conlapelleappesaaunchiodo.blo...2/narvalo.html Regards, Leendert Last edited by Leendert; 25th November 2021 at 17:55.

Thanks Leendert
I hadn't thought of that - but such an officer still wouldn't hold the rank of Squadron Leader, as implied. Perhaps Russell will respond - I believe he is a TOCH member. Stay safe Brian
