Eileen Rooney from HMS Barham said... 04/09/2009 I am the daughter of William Bone ( Bill) HMS Barham 1938 - 194I I have a photograph of Anthony Cobham who , it seems looked after my father and sibling does anybody have any info please Carol Donnelly nee Adams from Lincoln, England said... 03/09/2009  Richard Adams I am the daughter of Richard Adams, a survivor of HMS Barham. I have been researching my family tree and am busy adding dates to timelines for various members of my family. My father served in the Royal Navy from being a boy entrant, he was born in 1924, and although sent down to Cornwall to stay with relatives to be away from London, he entered boy service very early on in WW11. He used to mention Barham many times as he always felt that someone was looking down on him and keeping him safe - he was torpedoed a number of times from various ships he served on. He was also in submarines from HMS Dolphin but I do not know his exact service history. He was in contact with the Barham Association and I know he met with a gentleman from Canada but unfortunately I do not have any definitive information. If anyone remembers Richard Adams or Dick as he was known then please get in touch with me. Sadly Dad died in May 1991 just before home computers were the norm. He spent many of his last years writing of his experiences but not of his war years. My grandmother always considered herself very lucky. She had four sons in four different theatres of war any they all came home. A situation not enjoyed my many people. Kind regards, Carol Hazell Phillips from bedfordshire said... 28/08/2009  partridge/ payne Ihave found a postcard in my parents photos of H M S Barham, message on the back says,this is when we left Cherbouge...some trip.I looked at the crew names the only names that I recognised was Partridge or Payne.My family came from North London,Palmers Green N13.I dont know if you can throw any light on this for me.

It is in memory of William Lefebvre Brodrick who died in 1941 but I am unable to find his name on the list of deceased crewmen. claire sutton from maidstone kent said... 14/08/2009  kenneth sutton hi i am the grandaughter of kenneth sutton, a survivour of the barham sinking.
