2./JG 52 Loss 10 June 1941?

I'm currently reading Bowyer's The Stirling Story. On p. 69 is an account of a daylight combat involving Stirling N6022 of 7 Squadron, piloted by Flt. Lt. Blacklock on 10 June 1941, in which Blacklock states that his (tail, I think) gunner 'Jock' Graham shot down Bf 109F WNr. 9540 'Black 1' of 2./JG 52, flown by Uffz. K. Marz.

Just curious - does anyone know if this loss can be confirmed in German sources?

Thanks in advance!

Found him in the Kracker Archive (name given as Kurt März) with the source given as Stankey & DeZeng, so I'll take it as being confirmed.
