RAF losses in Milan airraid, 11/12 July 1944
I was asked to find out more about an RAFVR airman recorded as KIA on 11 July 1944 and buried in the Milan military cemetery. The name is Arthur J. Elworthy.
I understand four more airmen who died on that same day are buried alongside. All of them belonged to 40 Squadron and they might have been part of a single aircrew. 40 Sqn. was part of 205 Group, 236 Wing, based in Southern Italy. As a matter of fact the local Lambrate marshalling yards were bombed that night by Wellington X's flying with 40 Squadron. Yet I am not aware of any bombers being shot down in the process. Does anyone have a copy of the Squadron's log books?
