Rohan Greenland from Canberra said... 08/03/2009   James Greenland My great grandfather - James John Udall Greenland - ON161574- was among the Barham\'s first crew, joining in August 1915 before the ship was officially commissioned. He served at the Battle of Jutland, and was awarded the DSM \'for services rendered in the action in the North Sea 31 May - 1 June\'. He continued to serve with Barham until 14 August 1918. He joined the navy as a Boy in 1891. Thank you for this tremendous website.

My granddad Albert, was a Gunner on board at the time of the sinking. I can remember him telling me, apart from how lucky he was, about sliding down the side of the ship scraping skin off on the way and of taking in much oil when in the water, after finally being blown back to the surface after being sucked down into the water by the ship. He attended many of the memorials in London and spoke fondly of crew and friends from that Ship. I am now 50 and thank God never have had to take part in any conflict. Thanks very much to brave people Like Albert and his crew mates.
