(d.14th Nov 1942)

Apparently, Cyril Wigg was captured at Tobruk. As he and his colleagues were in transit on an old Italian tramp steamer en route to POW camps in Italy, whilst crossing the Med, the ship was torpedoed by an enemy submarine and all the POWs were killed. The Italian crew abandoned ship and survived.
