 My uncle was in the Royal Marine Band on the Barham and was transferred shortly before she was sunk according to family tradition. I found your site after googling the ship's name. Not sure if there is any recored of him on here. |

Looking at my grandfather's old photos, I find one titled HMS. Barham at Spalato and another showing 2 trophys. One with a crowing cockerel on it and another with "International Fleet[?[ xxxxx Sport Challenge Cup" on a platform with a sign " "OURS" H.M.S."BARHAM" "
Both photos are in the form of postcards.
He was on board from Nov 1925 to Sept 26. Some googling shows the ship was part of the Mediterranean Fleet.
I'd be interested to know what the trophies are.
He was a stoker. |

| I'm looking for anyone who remembers my great uncle, Eric Goddard, who served on both HMS Barham (where he perished when it sunk) and HMS York. He was born in York and lived in Barham, Hunts where there is a memorial plaque in the church. Any news welcome. Kind regards |

| I have been researching my family history and have some documents with regards to my step father who was a sailor from 1936 untill 1947 i am just listing this as to how lucky he was as a salor aboard the HMS BARHAM he joined the ship in august 1941 and left the ship on the 7th nov 1941 before it was tragically sunk. to go to HMS CANOPUS on the 8th of nov 1941 then on to HMS PEMBROKE then on to HMS PEMBROKE then to HMS COPRA then HMS PEBROKE then hms SHARPSHOOTER he was finaly discharged may 1947 as permanatly unfit what cause i dont know ,i do remember the years from the early 50s i have his medals and some info and still looking for more. he served also on the HMS RAMILES and the HMS SHEFIELD he went through terrible stress but would not talk about the war but did tell my mother some about friends gone and things she could not understand, he when i think back was suffering from post traumatic stress disorder as it is called today he was a boy orphan when he joined HMS GANGES in 1936 he passed away quite a number of years ago. |
