 Nigel Colyer from Canberra - Australia said... | 16/06/2011 |
 I purchased and still own a very old oil lamp made from solid brass & copper with the original wick and oil container. There is clear glass between the bottom tank and the top flue. On the sides are 4 (2 each side) copper metal rings which I believe slide over 2 rods at the stern of a boat/ship. I think the oil lamp was used as a white stern light or anchor light in the early days. Of real interest to your members is a copper oval shaped badge attached to the lamp with the words \"H.M.S. BARHAM - S.No.99272 - SOUTHAMPTON\". I think this is an original lamp and not a reproduction because of the weight of the item and the method of manufacture. However, I am enlisting the advice/comments from any of your members who may be able to throw any light onto the item. I am willing to sell this lamp around the world but thought I would contact the Assoc. before I listed it. Photographs can be sent via email (I have already sent photos to Ray Oliver and Sara Wrigley of the HMS Barham Assoc.) Thanks in advance. Nigel |

 Frank Barbour |
My mother died a while ago and I am going through many momentos.One is a HMS BARHAM calender for 1942.It is a simple card with a pressed ship\'s emblem, a photograph of the ship and below the traditional calender about 3inX1.5in.Under the flap is the traditional message \"With Every Good Wish for Christmas and the New Year From\" and signed \"Frank Barbour\".
I see that he is listed as one of the survivors.Did the ship ever pass through Durban,South Africa. |

Hopefully someone can help, were trying to find a picture of my uncle who lost his life on HMS Barham for a local historian. He\'s updating a book on the fallen of Coventry, and requires a picture of my uncle George. My mum, aunts and uncles have been unable to locate a naval service photo of him, but are hoping someone out there has one. Even if its a group photo that you have, and are unsure if George is in it, it would be a start for us. Many thanks in advance for your assistance, may their memories live on

Congratulations on the site - I am happy to see the memory of a great ship and those who served in her kept alive.
My Grandfather Robert Porter served on HMS Barham at the Battle of Jutland as a lieutenant. Ironically - given her eventual demise - I believe he was involved in putting out a fire in the magazine, and was mentioned in despatches. I would love to add his details to the site. |
