NEW ZEALAND DISASTERS AND TRAGEDIES
THE SINKING OF THE NINO BIXIO
TORPEDOED IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA BETWEEN BENGHAZI (LIBYA) AND SICILY BY THE BRITISH SUBMARINE HMS TURBULENT WITH THE LOSS OF 117* NEW ZEALAND PRISONERS OF WAR
MONDAY 17 AUGUST 1942
The Nino Bixio was an Italian troop transport ship of 7,137 tons. She was torpedoed on August 17 1942 in the Mediterranean Sea between Libya and Sicily, by the British submarine HMS Turbulent.
At the time she was carrying 3000 Prisoners of War captured in North Africa. The Nino Bixio was hit by two torpedoes, one exploding in the prisoners hold and killing many. The injured were brought up on deck and attended to by medical officers.
The badly damaged Nino Bixio was taken in tow by one of its escorting destroyers and towed to Navarino in southern Greece. There the dead prisoners were buried, the rest were sent, via Corinth, to a prisoner of war camp near Bari.
Of the 3000 POW's, 300 were killed including 117* New Zealanders. A list showing 116 deaths and 58 survivors is included here - THE 174 NEW ZEALANDERS ON BOARD NINO BIXIO. This is the work of of Bill Rudd OAM, ex-POW and Nino survivor and author of ANZAC POW FREEMEN IN EUROPE.
The Nino Bixio made a trip to New Zealand and on the 14 January 1955, at Timaru a service was held on board. See - SERVICE ON SHIP AT TIMARU - MEMORIAL TO VICTIMS OF TRAGEDY.
HMS TURBULENT did not survive the war and was sunk on the 12th March 1943 during her 13th patrol. None of the 59 ship’s company survived. During her short but violent career her Commanding Officer, Commander John Wallace Linton DSO, DSC was awarded the Victoria Cross posthumously and the submarine was awarded the battle honour "Mediterranean 1942".
With thanks to (the) Paul Holmes, Ivan Dominikovich and John Wilson for their help with this.
* - The following 116 names are from the book No Honour No Glory by Spence EDGE and Jim HENDERSON (Auckland Collins 1983) - one name was entered twice in the book making their total of 117. Various reports of the sinking give 108, 117 and 118 New Zealanders killed.
In August 2008 I received an email from Brian Sims of the UK with the following information. (Thanks Brian)
...The List you have is basically correct except for those who were on the ship and died from wounds shortly after. There are three men who are buried at Phaleron. On the final Issue of POW WOW there is a photograph of a Memorial I had Commissioned a few years ago.
